folks really hate phony protestors. What made all this work so well is that Russia didn't get caught during the election. If they had Hilary would probably be president, especially if we got it as an October surprise instead of Comey reopening the investigation just long enough to help throw the election Trump's way.
Not that Hilary is a spring chicken herself but it took a fundamental breakdown over just about everything to make a guy who used to be a Simpson's joke our actual president.
a mid range SSD is fast enough for just about any game I can think of. Maybe huge maps on Ashes of the Singularity will bottleneck but nothing else will. If you're a pro video editor maybe, but there aren't enough of those to drive new PC Sales.
Dell & HP often skip the full sized PCI-E slot for graphics entirely. When they do include it they've been known to use boards that can't deliver enough power on the slot. Finally their power supplies often lack the extra plug needed for most video cards. Asus & Acer are a little better, but it's not a sure bet.
The major manufacturers all sell 'gaming' pcs and they'll be damned if you're going to buy an i5 equipped PC on sale for $400, stuff a $200 graphics card in it and get 95% of the performance of their $1200 gaming rigs. They figured that out trick out in the late 90s/early 2000s.
is probably the main culprit. Massively overcrowded and poorly maintained roads. Combine that with lots more poorly maintained cars since our economy has basically been in recession for anyone without a college degree since 2008.
Of course, addressing Infrastructure spending and poor car maintenance due to wage decline would mean taxing elites to pay for roads and raising wages. It's much cheaper to blame cell phones. And if you're one of those elites you'll survive everything short of a semi anyway.
if he notices _anybody_ besides the cashier. Unless he's nuts and/or on drugs. In which case he's not going to care. But in that case congratulations, you just bought yourself a 20 person firefight.
you have to pay unemployment for any reason. And yes, that means some people who don't desperately need it will get it. It also means your wages won't get depressed by them competing with you in the job market.
you know that, right? Google the phrase "Farmers Almanac". The data isn't as good but it's out there. And it all points to something well worth panicking about if we weren't all too busy just trying to get by.
what does this have to do with anything? I don't recall either party saying much about air port x-rays except maybe some more research should be done. Am I just missing something? Both parties pushed for more x-raying in the wake of 9/11 anyway.
If you voted for the party of less regulation. Yes, there's a lot of silly laws on the books, but the really silly ones are ignored by everyone. When it comes time to cut regulations these are the ones that get cut.
right now it's largely illegal activities (drugs, money laundering, gambling, randomware) that are driving up the value of bitcoin. That value goes poof the moment the government clamps down on it. It's not like bitcoin is even anonymous. What I'm saying is taunting genuinely powerful people and bringing the main way you're funding your organization to their attention when they have a history of blocking your funding methods is just plain arrogance.
Then again, he did pretty much side with the current administration during the election and, well his man won. So he might be in a position to taunt McCain. Especially since McCain doesn't get along well with said administration.
why not stop tying basic survival to whether you've got cash on hand? Why don't we stop fighting among ourselves (while the rich and powerful take 50-60% of everything) and actually help people out when disaster strikes instead of blaming them? I know, I know, the answer is literally in the last sentence I wrote, but a man can dream can't he?
how to work Chinese 16 hours a day for biscuits and tea. Seriously, Steve Jobs was an asshole even by corporate standards. There's nothing positive to learn there.
the wealthy places in PR (mostly tourist spots and a few odds/ends neighborhoods of the rulers) have already recovered and have electricity, water, food, etc, etc. We're air dropping cash for those people. We took care of the well to do. We always do.
and solving our power grid problems we air drop cash? Also, one of the first things you do after a disaster is restore power, and if you haven't even done that you shouldn't be talking about money. We should just be sending food, water and medicine, not cash. Then get the power back up and _then_ we can start talking about fixing up the economy.
At the risk of getting down modded into oblivion I'll say this: This is less a real problem and more a symptom of the current ruling party not providing aid to Puerto Rico (I'll leave the reasons up to everybody's imaginations).
Not sure if anyone's called this out, but it's pretty clear this is just union busting. Pretty common stuff Musk couldn't get away with if the working class would just stop fighting among themselves...
the billionaire class attacks it because they want desperate workers who have to take the first job that comes along or starve. Billionaires own the media because we stopped enforcing anti-trust in the name of cutting red tape. Simple as that.
especially when things are running smoothly. Sure, Unions promote mediocrity, but they also promote safety, security and the humane treatment of workers.
For a concrete example, the iPhone was a break out hit. One of the main things Steve Jobs sited for making that hit possible was the ability to drag his (non-Union) Chinese workforce out of bed at 1 in the morning and work them 16 hours a day with nothing but tea and a biscuit. Sure, the iPhone wasn't mediocre, but we've all kind of swept the cost of that under the rug.
Hey, I know, let's encourage the general populace (particularly the younger set) to hunt down potentially violent criminals. Surely there is no way this can backfire?
just only on social issues. They don't want to oppress Gays or Blacks or ban abortion and they'd like to see some gun control and legal drugs. But they're hard right economically.
What makes the Right so strong is they're a coalition of hard right economics and hard right social voters (racists and evangelicals) but whereas the left fights within itself over economic issues the "values voters" don't give a crap about economics as long as they can be racists or force their religious beliefs on others. That makes them strong because they just plain disagree on less.
and I shouldn't feed the trolls, but we actually missed out on Medicare for All in the 1930s largely because white voters didn't want black people to have medical care.
Also, don't you feel shame writing that? I mean, if you work for Vlad Putin riling us up I guess not. Seriously, are you Russian or just mean spirited?
but not much. Our electoral college means that a handful of swing states decides who the president will be (because they're the only ones that aren't locked into one party). In three of them a handful of well organized coal miners decided our last election. Yeah, they're trying to stop progress, but they're doing that because corporatist Democrats abandoned them.
If the Dems want to win again they need to stop abandoning large swaths of the working class and become an actual populist left party again. That means $15 minimum wage, Medicare for All, College for All, end the wars and a "New" New deal (e.g. infrastructure spending). Otherwise folks are going to keep voting GOP because, well, what have you got to lose?
and my kid had what I think could be negative brand loyalty. It's funny because I know people in their 60s who still have it and it's weird to talk to them. They'll say good things about a brand without much cause and if you point to a cheaper / better alternative they're not interested.
Still, I wonder what happened that killed brand loyalty so completely. I'm guessing the crap economy and declining wages mean folks pinch pennies a lot harder. Maybe general cynicism but that could be chocked up to the wage thing too.

That's a great idea. Let me get started:
I'm a 6'2'" wall of muscle with a string of romantic conquests, a PHD is Astrophysics and a collection of Star Wars action figures.
Ha! Only one of those things is true but good luck figuring out which with all your highfalutin statistics.
getting by without a mobile phone is damn near impossible, especially in today's hyper-competitive job market.
