but Trump can't do anything about coal either way. Coal is in decline because most of it wasn't being used to generate electricity. It was being shipped to China to make steel. China (and the rest of the world) isn't building infrastructure anymore (those tax cuts have to come from somewhere, amairight?). That's what killed coal. Not the environment. Not outsourcing. Just plain ole fashion drop in demand.
saying you're gonna burn your house down because the drapes don't match. Yeah, Hilary doesn't measure up as a progressive. But she's still progress.
Now, If you weren't going to vote for her anyway, carry on. What I'm taking about is Dems who are flirting with Libertarianism. The trouble with the Libertarians is best summed up by the phrase "Gov't small enough to drown in a bath tub". That's great if you're a white, heterosexual christian male rockin' a college degree. I'm guessing odds are good lots of folks here are. But ask a Black woman in the south how "Separate but Equal" worked out for them sometime. It wasn't states rights and freedom that made apartheid go away in the states. It was the US Federal government. It was the Majority of Americans deciding, against the wishes of the people of the South, that it was wrong.
When you see folks like Johnson and the two Rands talking about small gov't that's really want they want. A gov't small enough to get away with the God awful crap they want to do. If you're an American think about that picture of the 13 colonies as a cut up snake. Same thing.
Our political leaders accountable when they hide behind the flimsy excuse of "I don't recall" (*cough Reagan cough*). And I'll still take her over Mike Peance. At least she listened to Bernie and moved further left.
windows 7 drivers and/or support Win 7 users. The few die hards you're gonna get in sales would probably be dwarfed by the support calls. And in the meantime it's not like you can't just buy an i7-4690k and call it a day.
if they could move they would. And you do not want what Palo Alto will have if they don't put their foot down. They're trying to make sure there are grocery stores, gas stations, schools, etc. So that people can actually live a reasonable distance from where they work. You do _not_ want Palo Alto's problems. Hows a 4 hour drive for groceries sound?
Yes, in so much as it's a health and safety issue. Fire in a theater and all that rot. Someone else in this thread already pointed it out but part of the purpose of zoning is to make sure there are places to buy food, gas, etc. Police and Fire Departments are kinda nice too.
Beyond that you're raising a straw man. You can say what ever the hell you want in Palo Alto (within reason as per above). This is about your right to conduct certain forms of business. That's got less than nothing to do with free speech.
I'm seeing this is just about every form of crime outside of petty theft among the poor (e.g. when they keep it in their own neighborhood so nobody can be arsed to investigate). Give it another 10-20 years and the only crimes left will be the occasional breakin at some poor slobs apartment that nets $100 bucks worth of junk, a few crimes of passion and the legal crime Wallstreet does because we don't have the bollocks to regulate anymore.
the right wing in our nation spent billions wining local elections so they could take the state senates and then gerrymandered their way into the national house & senate. Progressives won the popular vote in the last 3 elections but still lost because of this. If nothing else that's why I want Hilary. She's likely to stack the Supreme court with left leaning candidates that'll shut gerrymandering down. Trump/Pence will do the opposite. Imagine a court with 3 Clarence Thomases on it...
Just implement single payer already and fund the FDA enough that they can get generics approved. Problem solved (and in exactly the same way it's solved in the rest of the civilized world).
Importing drugs is difficult because the consumer doesn't have enough information to do it safely. Capitalism doesn't work for healthcare because it's an inelastic good. Anything more important than a twinkie shouldn't be left up to the free market.
they'd have to be rocking some capital (summary says $100k in gov't grants or $350k of their own money). This almost sounds like a really expensive way to buy yourself into America. Still, encouraging folks with resources to immigrate really is a good thing. It's the code monkeys I'd like to exclude.
in the meantime. I'm all for curtailing the H1-B program. Screw that, just eliminate it. But assuming this program isn't yet another back door into more H1-Bs (e.g. cheap labor for mega corps) why wouldn't we want foreigners bringing lots and lots of capital into our country. $100-$350k seems too low though. Just getting into a McDonald's franchise starts at over $1 mil. I don't think you could get a subway for that. Also, given that 90% of businesses fail in 5 years what do we do with them when they fail? If we're giving them citizenship either way then it seems like this is just a really, really expensive way to buy a visa. Kinda f'd up if that's the case.
I have a cheap LG that I drop periodically. Works as poorly as the day it was new (it's a $100 Android from 2014 so what can I say?). Replaced my kid's iPhone three times as it just kept getting slower and slower. Cores burning out maybe?
but they can charge you extra for speed, it costs them virtually nothing and their sales reps can at least pretend you got something in exchange for the last round of price increase (up to $75/mo in my neighborhood, yay!). But hey, it beats that commie "municiple" broadband, amaright?
with each other. They have exclusive franchises granted to them in exchange for paying for the infrastructure up front ( Yeah, I know they didn't really pay for it since they got tax credits almost immediately to offset it on top of tax cuts to further offset it, but hey, that's America for you).
we were thinking "How the _fuck_ are we suppose to create a viable progressive candidate when we've got to deal with the right wing in our party who think Jesus will somehow make Flint's water clean again?".
Hilary is a compromise between our right wing and our progressives. That's kinda the point of progressivism: Progress. Hilary is progress. Not a lot. Lots of us want more. But there's a _lot_ of aging baby boomers scared out of their wits right now who don't want _anything_ changed. Hilary's there for them. Bernie was there for the progressives, but we let him slide after he got some concessions out of the establishment because otherwise those boomers will stay home. They won't vote the big R. But they will stay home. Out of fear of Bernie the Big Bad (Democratic) Socialist. And we'll lose the election.
We did the same thing to get Mr Clinton in the Whitehouse. Worked then too. It'll probably work now. If Hilary was a man it'd probably be going smoother. Folks don't like Bossy chicks.
Hilary isn't going to do much of anything except stay the course. She's economically conservative and socially indifferent. The only good thing about her is she won't upset the apple cart. Trump won't do anything except yell. It's Pence you have to worry about. Essentially a Dominionist, you do not want Pence in charge unless you too are a Dominionist...
because he'll fall in line with the edicts from our ruling class (he's one of them, after all). All that talk of Tariffs and jobs will quietly go away. Meanwhile Mike Pence will cheerfully push his Dominionist agenda though (for those who don't know it's like Sharia Law but with Christianity in place of Islam). Maybe you want that. I don't, and I'm guessing most/.ers don't.
Trump's a patsy. A Trump presidency is really a Pence one. Pence is Cruz without the backstabbing. I guess you'll get to see the knife coming when he twists it in your gut. So I guess there's that.
it's because no Jury would convict her. There's a little thing called Jury Nullification out there.
This isn't about drinking the Kool-Aid either. We're a pretty right wing country. Hilary is a comprise between the right wing (and the ruling class that manipulates them) and the progressives who would like a little, ya know, progress. We already know she's not a prefect candidate. Nobody is (Long form birth certs, drone strikes, etc, etc). But I don't want the nut-jobs from the Green party or Libertarians either.
seriously. What event? Aside from the scandal itself what, exactly, did Hilary do that was a) a criminal offense and b) revealed in the emails?
While I'm on it, which is it? Is she a fool who couldn't run an email server or a Machiavellian genius who successfully evaded the FBI and an entire political party's attempts to bring her to justice?
it's just using blockchains for distributed DRM so they don't have to rely on the Record Industry's stores. Probably mostly so when the files show up on a torrent tracker they know who uploaded them. There's lots of stuff in there about eliminating parasitic record contracts but they kinda ignore the whole part where the record companies pay the bills while your tour ( albeit on credit and and horrendous interest rates, but try getting a loan from a bank to go tour with your band sometime ). Record companies also get your stuff on the radio and get you into venues. Blockchain and tech don't do anything about that.

I was wondering how this was going to be used to bring cheap labor in. Parent just nailed it.

Executives are members of the ruling class who, unlike workers, take care of their own...
but we're not. It's more or less been admitted that Pence will run the show (and it would have been Kasich but he doesn't think Trump can win).
