    There was a price, but the SCOTUS took it away. Now business are people, but better.

    What about food you need to consume, housing (full bill paid), utilities just to live. Offsetting business expenses is not in an individual expense, it is an extension of the business.

    The law would affect google if they sold any goods or services in the UK, say advertisement spaces.

    He is talking about employees as individuals, not sole proprietorship that for some reason dont seperate their taxes from their person.

    I am not allowed to deduct my full housing cost, utility payments, food, clothing and such from my taxes, event though they are necessary for me to live and work.

    It does mean they overtook their rival in quarterly sales.... Why would you think it meant something else, I assume you thought it meant in total sales?

    Google for education can have minors so it is not really an issue. What part were you unhappy with, that you are not allowed to have your kid sign a contract, or that you did not do your research on the chromebook? Why didnt you just create a google account in your name and let him use it?

    These are shipments directly to the customer, not to some store.

    I am part of the red hat customer base, and to be honest some of us have started looking elsewhere.

    The other problem is that a lot of the RH base is not purchased by the admins, but by people who know nothing about systemd and force it down.

    You can buy any insurance that is offered, and go to any doctor that would take you. If you dont know what the ACA does then dont talk about it.

    You can have as many policies as you want, as long as one of them meets the required coverave the others could do nothing, or anything at all. Also the insurance is what dictates who you can see.

    Evidence of actual mass voter fraud please?

    So if you dont have something that was not invented when your rights were defined you should not be able to use your rights?

    Also most poor cannot get it because they work, and live paycheck to paycheck. They need money and time off to get an ID.

    The evidence that you are using is so flimsy as to be absurd. there are more logical and plausible reasons for the residue. And there was nothing this cop did that made him a hero, but keep believing that AC.

    trying to grab his gun (cop's words),

    backed up with scientific evidence

    What scientific evidence? residue and blood is not proof that he reached for a gun, just that his thumb was within a specific amount of range to the gun, typically in the feet range.

    getting shot at least once while unarmed, then possibly shot again while running.

    even though the scientific evidence proves that brown was running toward the hero police office.

    It does not prove that he was running towards the police officer, it proves he was facing the officer.

    I trust scientific evidence over blind rabid hatred that idiots like per towards the cops.

    No you dont. You made the evidence fit your idea of what happened to justify your rabid hatred for a specific group.

    No, you are PRESUMED innocent until proven guilty. If there is no trial it does not mean you did not commit the crime, it just means you will treated as though you were innocent by the law.

    Well to be honest I understand PART of why they would be outrage over it. If I pay 5k for you to come and work and you are here for 1 day I am out 5k. Now I agree with your overall primise, as long as the employer they went to had to pay a share of that money back, prorated.

    The cop was not ruled innocent. You dont know what a grand jury does. Hint it does not rule on innocence. All it does it decide if there is enough evidence to potentially convict.

    I think the problem may be you.

    You can call for a vote on something even if you disagree with it. In fact that should be how the government is ran. If you like something or not, if it has the votes to go to the floor bring it to the floor.

    It is not irrelevant. If it keeps rolling back and rolling back and rolling back, even if there are small rolling forwards in there, then you are still providing them with FREE electricity that they sell at retail costs, making them loads of money. If the net effect of your connection is that you used less from them then they gained from you then you should not be arguing the costs of the connections.
