is that those who can't afford solar benefit from the electric grid. When the ones who have money to power their homes themselves what happens to the ones who don't? Does the grid shut down and leave them without power? Probably.
kinda screw everything up. It means that a very, very small number of Americans in swing states actually decide who gets to be president. So appealing to their desire to keep their old jobs (a reasonable one) works. It didn't help that Hilary's only contribution was to offer them slightly better terms on student loans for a college they couldn't afford to attend and a degree they couldn't get when they were 20.
there are other ways to teach logical thinking (Math anyone? Or just a good 'ole logic course).
But this was never about learning to think. It's always been about dropping wages. Me? I don't let my kid anywhere near code. She's in medicine and doesn't need or want it. Why medicine? It's the only middle class career path left. My bro's in a dead end job working shit hours. He's got a guy in his 20s with a CS degree there because he can't find a job. You want my kid to write code? Bring back the jobs and stop giving them to H1-Bs. Bring the Jobs and us parents will bring the kids. Until then shove off. We ain't buying any.
that Theresa May pulled about 18,000 police off the beat. It was one of the reasons her party got beat up in the last election. This is small potatoes compared to that. But either way it's pretty obvious the problem is a lack of funding...
The Market wasn't addressing it, that's why there's a law. It wasn't worth the cost. And we aren't fucking up anyone's life. The costs were minimal and affordable. Mostly making bathrooms accessible and adding ramps. They went down even more as new buildings made them standard. But it's still a cost, and if you're a big corp that money could buy the owner their third or fourth summer home. I guess if only having two or three summer homes counts as a fucked up life, well, sign me the hell up for a fucked up life.
We hate Uber and want it shut down for it's illegal misclassification of workers and want expanded public transportation systems with full accessibility. We're the ones that pushed for those laws in the first place. We're perfectly OK with living in that world? If you're gonna troll can you please put a little more effort into it?
and very few layoffs. As for moving out of the city, they can go. There's no shortage of people that want do do business in Seattle and can do so profitably. I keep hearing about these Job Creators creating jobs and how we have to bend over backwards for them. But what's the point if it's shit jobs that border on slavery?
to cover it up. Anyway I'm praying that Trump is _not_ impeached. The last thing I want is predisent Pence. Right now Trump dampers the worst of his religious quackery...
It's going to cost about $160k to get my kid through college. She'll make somewhere between $2-$4 million more over the course of her lifetime as a result (no, I'm not exaggerating). The question is who's gonna pay for that? If you're parents aren't like me and a) have a good job and b) willing to sacrifice for 6-10 years taking on debt then you're just SOL. The amounts of money involved are so huge you can't work your way though college. You can't even borrow enough money to pay for it unless your parents borrow some (well, a lot actually).
OTOH, who cares? The corps can just go to Congress, tell them they can't get American talent (true, since nobody can afford college) and bring in as many H1-Bs as they choose. Problem solved. Unless you're an American Worker.
that's sorta the trouble. Everybody's gunning for those one big breaks. Life in general, just basic life, has gotten intensely competitive as we fight among ourselves for scraps. I see it with my kid's college. She's Rockin' a 4.0 and will still have to interview to see if she gets into her 300 level courses.
they're not going to stop criticizing Trump (who leads the Right wing party) unless Bezos tells them to (like the owner of MSNBC tried to do with Maddow until the ratings spiked).
And WaPo is by no means the biggest loudspeaker. If you think anyone but Bernie and a handful of others in DC listen to WaPo you haven't been paying attention to the makeup of our government. The Right Wing one, hands down. Everything. They own the Senate, House, Judiciary and Executive plus all the State Legislatures. Maybe you think that's a good thing. I hope you do.
And yeah, we get it. You don't like being called Racists. So much so that we can't even have a conversation about race any more. Sheesh, and you call us Snowflakes.
I know folks in the defense industry who constantly complain about talent, go on and on about their $100k salaries and ignore Wallstreet's payiing 3-5 times that for these same guys to make High Freq Trading work.
It's literally what he does for a living. Why is it when the guy that makes your Hamburger screws up he's relentlessly savaged but a CEO does it it's OK. Oh, wait. Ruling Class takes care of their own. Silly me.
it would be a trivial tax dodge compared to what we allow with Ireland. Good to see Trump picking up the Democrats strategy to glomping down on issues the working class doesn't care about and ignoring stuff like jobs and health care. I'm sure it'll turn out for him just as well as it did for Hilary.
folks aren't spending $6 trillion on Pokemon Go. I'm guessing they mean Uber and the like. That's not the App Economy. That's the 21st century equivalent to sharecropping, the company store, or whatever other abusive employee-employer relationship you care to name. Using folks weak understanding of technology to get away with skirting minimum wage and benefits laws is not an economy.
as are the ransom payments, which is why both currencies exist as more than a curiosity. Wanna stop both? Legalize drugs, implement Nordic style drug rehab everywhere and take care of your poor (especially the well educated ones that can't get jobs) so they stop looking to shady ways to make a living.

coulda being the operative word.
People who are intolerant towards other peoples and their culture, and the Dutch.
Yeah, obscure reference, but it's about as relevant as this is to the Travel Ban.

perhaps intentionally. The point is they have a right to take part in society. Mountains and Rivers aren't society. Public Transportation is.
of Uber being an illegal taxi company. You don't get to say "We're an app!" and get out of complying with laws. If you did we'd be a lawless society.

they're working less hours. They got a $5/hr raise. No $hi1 they're working less hours. Hours worked != Quality of Life. Who knew?
so they usually side with property. If you want them to side with people you have to pass laws.

Most Vending machine companies are owned by big corps now.

I want to base my entire political and social system on it's the occasional pang of conscience from a member of the ruling elite.

we've got a bunch of donations from companies and their owners who work on self driving cars. They want us to indemnify them legally.
