There are tons of them. Try going to one of the broadcast network's streaming services (such as AMC or USA), and try to watch one of the full episodes of a show. To do that, you have to prove you have some kind of cable subscription. There are the big ones listed up top (Verizon, Comcast, Cox, Dish, etc.), but you can look at the full list. It's a VERY long list. Sure, a few are only TV only, but the vast majority are also ISPs. And, yes, most of them are small ISPs.
If I am the supervisor who is technologically enabled to oversee automated production of 100,000 units a day, do I deserve more money than the supervisor who used to supervise humans producing 1000 units per day? Let's assume that the automation makes my workload about the same in both cases.
According to the current system, if you're supervising humans, you get a LOT more pay. That's why the typical CEO now earns 300 times as much as the workers. Of course, it used to be only about 20 times as much. And yet, the same or less workers... hmm... The math doesn't seem to fit reality either way, does it?
In other words, you have nothing to back up your "certainty" but conjecture based on a myopic view of history.
Today productivity advancements primarily come from capital expenditures such as robotics, software applications, or generally better machinery.
But that was the case LONG before the wage stagnation started. Ever heard of the assembly line? Interstate highways? The telephone? Technological advances, if anything, have slowed during the stagnation period.
The upper middle class is seeing an explosion in wages because they have the skills which are better utilized in our modern economy.
I assume you're referring to the top 1%, as those have been the only folks seeing increased relative wages. That's probably true - In 1965, typical CEOs made 20 times what typical workers made. As of 2013, they make just under 300 times typical workers’ pay. The widespread problem of stagnant hourly wages is not a problem of insufficiently skilled or educated workers. A four-year college degree has been no guarantee of decent wage growth. In 2013, inflation-adjusted hourly wages of young college graduates were lower than they were in the late 1990s.
It's not advances in technology that has caused it, and wages are stagnant even for highly skilled workers.
The only thing that is certain is the middle class stagnation over the past 50 years is almost entirely caused by technological advances
I call bullshit on that. Productivity per worker has increased during that period. In prior times, that meant better pay for the workers, but not this time. Why not? Technological advances happened before that, also making workers more productive, but they saw better compensation.
Trump continues to go down the hole to hell further and faster.
America NEEDS mueller to really get on this probe. There is little doubt that Trump committed treason, but now, he is going off the deep end.
THis is exactly how dictators operate and need to be stopped.
Demonstrating that conspiracy theories can get up mods on/., if you're promoting the right conspiracy theory...
Exactly this. For instance, in order to be a chef or run a restaurant kitchen in many places you are required to have a ServSafe certification. That serves a state interest in ensuring that public eateries know how to serve food that is safe to eat.
So you may end up with safe-to-eat food, but that doesn't mean it's any good.
Well read back through your over reactionary response to the "David Cop-a-feel" joke, and you'll see a perfect illustration of the term.
You must be a lot of fun at parties:/
I think the only "excuse" Bush got for being old and feeble is the girl didn't turn around and slap him across the face, something Taylor Swift should have done which would have gotten that disc jockey fired a lot faster and avoided the media circus of a court case.
NRDC was founded in 1970 by a group of law students and attorneys
'Nuff said? How about:
We partner with E2.
What is E2?
Our members have been involved in the financing, founding or development of more than 2,500 companies that have created more than 600,000 jobs, and manage more than $100 billion in venture and private equity capital.
Leadership of the NRDC: President Rhea Suh:
Before joining NRDC, Suh served as the assistant secretary for policy, management, and budget at the U.S. Department of the Interior. She was nominated for the position by President Barack Obama and confirmed by the Senate in 2009. Suh led several cross-cutting initiatives at the department on federal land conservation, climate adaptation, international affairs, and youth programs. She was instrumental in launching a complex reorganization of the agency responsible for offshore oil and gas oversight in the midst of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. She also spearheaded the creation of the department’s first chief diversity officer position.
Suh is an outspoken critic of all things nuclear.
The board of trustees includes names like Daniel R. Tishman, CEO of Tishman Construction, who recently settled a fraud case for overbilling on government contracts, Frederick A.O. Schwarz (yep), Alan F. Horn (Chairman of Walt Disney Studios), Max Stone, Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert Redford, Laurance Rockefeller, and William H. Schlesinger.
It's basically a money-laudering scheme and drinking club for the elites of the elites, a bunch of people doing rent-seeking and running businesses on the government teat of corporate welfare.
At what point of age and disability do I get to start ignoring the law and common courtesy? Harass people without warning in a way that my critics get told to lighten up?
Is that really what you want to do? You seem so anxious to be a White Knight and walk on eggshells around anyone of an apparent opposite sex, that I think it's best you avoid initiating any contact with them whatsoever.
In my state, deliberately grabbing someone's ass without consent is punishable by up to a year's imprisonment and/or a fine up to a number I don't remember. You may find it funny, but the people grabbed tend not to see it that way.
Humor is often in the eye of the beholder. I don't think getting hit in the balls would be funny to the person it happened to, either, but people still laugh at it...
-It was a consensual relationship that ended very badly, and she wanted to punish him through work
It didn't necessarily end badly, it could have just ended. Continuing to report to an ex would be very uncomfortable for anyone, no matter how they parted. She may have simply gone to HR about a transfer or something, and had to supply the reason, so it would be in the report.
This is why you don't shit where you eat. Important rule.
The Bush Sr. story was hilarious. He's sitting in a wheelchair for a photo op, and while posing he says "Hey, you know my favorite magician? David Cop-a-feel," and he grabs some ass. I mean, come on!
This discussion implicitly centers around LEGAL Internet traffic. DDoS packets are not part of lawful or legal Internet activity. That should be clear to anyone possessing a thinking mind and basic English literacy.
Please wake up, stupid, and stop trolling.
You're conflating "legal" and "lawful." In the context of FCC (and FTC) regulations, they are not the same. "Lawful" means that there is no specific law banning it. During a DDoS attack, the attack itself is against the law, so clearly that can be stopped. However, the FCC's original network neutrality regulations only protected "legal" protocols and traffic - meaning it had to be specifically allowed. That allows ISPs to deem bittorrent traffic as blockable, because although it may be lawful, it's not explicitly allowed, and thus not legal. By the same token, if your ISP has a TOS (they all do, by the way), which, for instance, forbids you from running a home server on your end point, then any traffic out of there can be blocked because although it's lawful, it's not LEGAL (it violates the TOS).
Any rule can be used like that. The FCC used the higher standard of allowing only "legal" content, because it allows ISPs to block, for example, home email servers (they generally all do that already), anything that *might* be a copyright infringement, etc.
You can't de-manufacture the outrage with this sort of reasoned logic, either. Might as well be pissing up a rope. The fix is in, and the people demand that the Feds regulate the Internet. Pai isn't going to stop it, either. CNN and Fox is going to be protected from foreign news outlets, and Facebook and Google are right on board with censoring any non-government-approved sources of information.
An authoritarian nationalistic state, one that views violence as just another tool and not inherently bad.
Replace the word "nationalistic" with "globalistic" and you have described the progressive left in the US today. Ron Bloom, Obama's "Manufacturing Czar" was fond of using Mao quotes in his speeches, as he did saying "the free market is nonsense," and "we kind of agree with Mao that 'political power comes largely from the barrel of a gun.'"
(the time where the 3 Magi had offered the gifts of Gold, Incense and Muir)
The scripture does not specify a number of Magi, it only specifies a number of gifts. It is implied that there were more than one, but how many more is not stated. Could one Magi have brought multiple gifts? Could multiple Magi have brought the same gift?
There are 3 in the nativity, it has to be true. It's right there in the Town Square!
When all that happened, my wife was the head of a group in our state. She got started with the Ron Paul campaign, before the "Tea Party" was really a thing, so she got her org's 501(c)(3) status before the IRS started targeting conservative groups.
So since that was already in place, they went after us personally instead. There were audits, bills, threats, all based on nothing. We kept filing paperwork and responses to their queries, which somehow the IRS never received. I'd mail AND fax the stuff in, call to confirm and they just tell me I have to wait 6 weeks. 6 weeks pass and somehow they never got it. Send it again, and more threatening letters. We had to start making payments for a bill we didn't owe because they were shutting down our bank account.
The funny part is, less than a week after the "investigation" ended with a finding that the IRS "did nothing wrong," I get a call from a IRS rep that says they just got our case on the desk. He asked a couple of questions and gave me a fax number. Sent in the paperwork and called the next day, everything was cleared up.
So, yea, I don't buy that they weren't targeting people.
So many commenters here have been quick to forget discriminatory IRS practices under Obama.
You mean the thing about IRS investigating a group that said it didn't like taxes at all?
Whyever would they try cheating on tax returns?
It was a much wider program than that, there were many groups. When all that happened, my wife was the head of a group in our state. She got started with the Ron Paul campaign, before the "Tea Party" was really a thing, so she got her org's 501(c)(3) status before the IRS started targeting conservative groups.

So, sure, Google is a monopolist bully that censors speech, invades privacy, and uses shade practices to kill their competition, but they're on our side!
Microsoft is particularly prone to this with its Xbox consoles.
WAIT A MINUTE! I was getting set to buy me an XBox One S. Are you telling me they inject ads with that thing? I'm only buying to to play games, am I going to get ADVERTISING in the games??? Because I may have to re-think that.

Your whining about the massive public outrage is Moscow-bought commentary
the next non-traitor not-going-to-prison ACTUAL PRESIDENT
Pretty deranged, NeoMcCarthyist crap from a TDS sufferer.
I want my ISP and backhaul providers to stay the hell out of deciding whose content should get priority. That should be my decision, not theirs.
That's what I keep telling the network engineers at my company. But for some reason, they just laugh at me.
I wondered when the NeoMcCarthyites would show up to claim Russia bought the presidency for $100,000 in Facebook ads. Didn't take long at all...
