Lots of these kids live in suburbs out in the middle of nowhere so their parents could afford a decent house. There's nothing for miles and no public transportation. Often no bike path either. I guess they could go for a leisurely stroll.
I guess that's my question. The only anti-corporate people I know in America can barely hold onto a few senate seats (Bernie Sanders & Liz Warren). Whenever anyone gets serious about reigning this shit in a wedge issue divides the working class or people get scared somebody's gonna take all their money and gives it to the poors and they vote more pro corporate right wing party members in. Sometimes with D's next to their name, sometimes R's, but it's the same thing.
Unless you and everyone else reading this is gonna show up at primaries and start voting for left wing anti-corporate candidates then I think we're done here. And I've yet to find a way to make Americans interested in taking care of each other in large enough numbers to matter.
which is all well and good, but it's an entire industry that'll go away with nothing to replace it. Add to that driving, sports writing, retail, manufacturing.
We can't all be robot repair men. And the rich don't need us to buy their stuff if they already own everything. If we're gonna stop fighting among ourselves for scraps & do something now would be the time...
Age Related Cognitive Decline. That's why you get so many robocalls. It doesn't have to fool you in your 20s. In your 70s when you're no longer all there is the time they come for you.
CamAnal (fark meme) lied about how the data was going to be used. There's also some questions about whether Facebook was aware of what CamAnal was doing or not. A common trick companies use to do something really nasty is to let another company do it and then when they get caught say "oops, that was against our Ts&Cs. We're ever so sorry". This is why you need laws that punish individuals. Otherwise they hide behind the corporate veil with impunity.
as an advertising platform. Not a data analytics company and reseller. When I get a call to do a political survey I know what I'm getting into. Facebook actively obfuscates this line of business by focusing on their ad selling in any and all literature that's not an SEC filing
a gun range isn't private property if it's a business. As soon as you open it to the public it is no longer private. That's what it means to open it to the public. That's why you can't put up a 'No Coloreds' sign at your gun range.
the agriculture antibiotics aren't helping, but there's already regulations to try and get that under control by mandating they get off antibiotics.
OTOH, I can't tell you how many poor people I know who stop taking their antibiotics when they feel better. They give you a couple extra days to kill off the infection completely. Around day 3 or 4 you've just created a new strain of antibiotic resistant bacteria that you personally are resistant to. Folks don't stop taking the meds so they can try and save them for the next time or for their kids. They wouldn't do that if they didn't have to worry about coming up with money every time they get sick.
tl;dr: There are broad health consequences for public health when you deny care to people who can't or won't pay.
If anyone remembers the organization Acorn was instrumental in getting Obama elected, albeit for different reasons (voter registration drives tend to favor the Dems, and that was Acorn's thing). Acorn was dismantled by the Republican party not long after the campaign.
Given the scope of the data and how it was likely being used losing CamAnal (fark meme) might hurt Trump in the next campaign a lot. Now, I'm not saying the Dems are doing this on purpose (that would be giving them way, way too much credit for being smart, these are they guys that lost to Trump after all) but this seems like the kind of resource that if you can't replace it you're gonna lose. Well, unless the Dems run another dead pan Hilary Clinton style right of center milktoast.
even the for profit charter schools are having a hard time getting funding. Americans are actively hostile to education.
The tablets are popular because they're a one time expense. Better pay is a permanent increase and that means raising taxes. Until you can get people to vote for tax raises it ain't happening except in a few limited cases where the teachers can move to another state. That's what happened with the last strike. One of the nearby states was trying to poach the teachers. There's a bit of a shortage right now because the ones that became teachers to dodge the draft in the 60s/70s are retiring & dying and teacher pay is so bad nobody can afford to be one.
if the law's broke the solution isn't to say to devil with regulations and let everyone have as much info on you as they can claw out before you die. The solution is to fix the law. It's not that hard to carve out an exception for sending emails back and forth. You're giving up way, way too easy in that regard.
Also I take the same kind of training every year too. Yours is way off base. Yes, people can email you. Now, what you _can't_ do is use those emails for a purpose other than the one you told people you gathered them for. And even in the States you'll get hit with CAN-SPAM if you try that sort of nonsense.
now are you willing to raise your taxes to solve that people problem? Or barring that are you willing to round up folks who are potentially unbalanced and dispose of them cheaply?
I keep hearing the argument that the problem is mental health but nobody seems willing to either pony up the cash or do the really nasty and oppressive stuff needed if you're not gonna pony up the cash. What I'm saying is, put up or shut up. Lets see single payer health care (including mental health), free housing for the homeless (nothing fancy, but a room to sleep in, a land line with answering machine and a communal place to cook/wash) and legalize drugs with proper treatment for addicts. Do those 3 things and we'll stop banging on about your assault rifles.
is objectively small. You're not going to fight a revolution with them. Those days are over. Our standing military is too powerful now After all, the point of the Second Amendment was a check on the standing army. But a modern and well provisioned military is beyond the ability of any citizenry to fight. Forget drones, you won't be able to keep up with their supply lines.
As for protection, you're much more likely to shoot yourself. A far better means of protection would be proper drug treatment, mental health care services and free housing to end homelessness. Make a world where you don't live in constant fear of some nut job breaking into your home.
All that said the "If it saves one life" argument is too extreme. I don't begrudge you your hobby (I do begrudge you thinking you can fight the US Military, since that line of thought leads to political laziness when you think you can fix politics with a gun). But guns are dangerous. Regulate them like cars.
CA wants those immigrants for the cheap labor. And the immigrants want to stay because the higher wages mean more money to send back home. Plus as soon as they leave the sanctuary cities they're at a greater risk of deportation.
Not saying what CA is doing is right. But your points aren't accurate.
off the road. And the reason you don't need to register if you're not driving on public roads is that it's assumed you're not really using it.
I suppose we could do the same thing. You can have your guns without regulation, but as soon as you take it in public it gets confiscated (carrying a gun is equivalent to using it, since as folks like to point out it's a deterrent). This would also mean you can't shoot unregistered guns at a range.
We don't register knives because they're not as dangerous. Same reason we don't register bikes. I crash into you on my road bike you've got a broken leg worst case (barring the occasional freak mishap). I'm alive today because a woman who ran a light while I was in a cross walk clipped the tire of the bike I was carrying instead of hitting me. That's the kind of difference we're talking about here.
since there's been a nation wide moratorium on researching gun violence since the early 2000s. If I had to make a guess I'd say economy. Chicago's economic base when kaput when manufacturing moved to Mexico. Texas still has oil jobs.
that's sorta the problem with having a patch work approach. Oh, and the gun show loop hole. So much for your strict laws.
I hate to make this a car analogy, but we should be regulating guns like cars.
BTW, any one care to hazard a guys why the constitution doesn't just say "The right of the people to bear arms shall not be infringed"? Why the part about the well regulated militia. IIRC anything after the preamble is meant to be legal text, e.g. not just for show. All I ever find googling it is vague arguments on both sides.
got a fed grant worth hundreds of thousands of dollars? I'm not opposed to government grants for science (much the opposite in fact) and I realize that some waste will slip through here and there (I'm looking at you, life sized replica of Noah's Ark paid for by the people of Kentucky) but this one seems like a no-brainer (pun intended).
if you want these kinds of protections in the States you're gonna have to start voting people in who believe in government regulation. As it stands the party in charge of our 3 branches of government has opposing government regulation as a central plank of it's party platform.
That said, a lot of folks don't care for the regulations; since after all they either don't use Facebook or feel confident they can control their data themselves. e.g. let the free market sort it out.
periodically having to stand in class because there were 30 seats and 40 students did. And no, I'm not joking. And this was in one of the better school districts in my area.
but laptop performance varies wildly based on the efficiency of the cooling solution. On my work laptop I went from a computer with a slower CPU to a faster one spec wise and took a pretty big performance hit even in stuff like Excel/Word.

how do you propose we do that? LLCs are the 20th century equivalent of the blood of kings.

they're after lonely old people who don't have all their mental facilities left. With the baby boomers in old age there are tons and tons of them.
