Well they have been going after the Backpage for 10 years, so I guess at this stage they are just throwing it against the wall and hoping for a judge that will let it stick.
Besides considering how complacent they have been with banks and money laundering drug money and tax evasion, it seems that this is just low hanging fruit by comparison.
I know it's mostly not Netflix fault their movie selection is crap. But honestly I'd probably pay twice as much if I had a real selection of movies where I had a reasonably good chance that the movie I wanted to see was included.
I don't understand what you are complaining about, cable companies want you to pay 5 to 10 times as much and don't give you a real selection of movies either!
I don't get this attitude that Unions destroy everything, was management sitting on their hands. Looking into shenanigans of management.
Leaving the original bankruptcy(in 2004) in greater debt than before
Unable to fix operations after 8 years!
Giving themselves raises before the bankruptcy(2011), While
Offering to drastically cut pensions and benefits for unions
The raises management gave themselves right before the bankruptcy

I never really ate Hostess products, but the new company is not making a fresh product anymore. They consolidated everything to 3 plants and freeze it for delivery. What they are selling is not exactly the same, whether that is enough to reduce their sales is something else so we have to wait and see.
Your kidding right? They are is still a person, no matter how rich they are, they can only eat so many whoppers in a day. Just because they are rich does mean that they drastically increase the percentage of their income that is spent on food, or housing, or entertainment compared to another person. They are just going to accumulate money that they can never spend on anything for themselves.
How about the trillion dollars plus we spent to invade Iraq, or the money we spend to keep Isreal and Saudi Arabia happy and Iran contained? If the business of oil was not in these areas we literally not care.
Not all subsidies are about giving dollars to a specific individuals.
I am surprised no one has turned around for suing him for posting a sex tape without consent. It is not like he has a signed release from these people, even if it is in public. It is the equivalent of girlfriend revenge porn sites. Just because you have a video does not give you a license to post it on the internet.
It is a 50% raise over the 6 next years! That would mean about a 8.2% increase per year. That is faster than inflation but considering the minimum wage has gone from,
2002 : 6.75
2007 : 7.50 (11.1 percent increase in 5 years)
2008 : 8.00 (6.7 percent increase in 1 year)
2014 : 9.00 (12.5 percent increase in 6 years)
2016 : 10.00 (11.5 percent increase in 2 years)
California has been fairly good in increase the minimum wage but it most years barely kept pace with inflation. The proposed increases are not drastically higher.
Cavuto: Mr. Trump, as the leading presidential candidate on this stage and one whose tax plan exempts couples making up to $50,000 a year from paying any federal income taxes at all, are you sympathetic to the protesters cause since a $15 wage works out to about $31,000 a year?
TRUMP: I can’t be Neil. And the and the reason I can’t be is that we are a country that is being beaten on every front economically, militarily. There is nothing that we do now to win. We don’t win anymore. Our taxes are too high. I’ve come up with a tax plan that many, many people like very much. It’s going to be a tremendous plan. I think it’ll make our country and our economy very dynamic.
But, taxes too high, wages too high, we’re not going to be able to compete against the world. I hate to say it, but we have to leave it the way it is.
After being reamed for it, he change his mind, but there is no reason to believe he would not change it . He is just running his mouth and will saying anything that will get him elected to president. Who knows what this guy would actually do if he were elected.
I have a hard time imagining any remake being better than the original. It little dialog, but excelled at making you feel for the characters and what was happening at the moment.
Tie that will a limited budget, it was showed they knew how to create a great movie.
There is not hard limit on what enough actually is, so they will continue to ask for money. In fact it is almost its own separate business. Just ask lobbyists.
Someone will spend it, or lose it on things not related to the goals for the organization. Hurting the it in the long-run.
Little did I know that this was the long-term plan planted by the Government implemented by Atari. My years of playing Asteroids will now lead me to picked up by a government van, dropped at Fort Lauderdale, where I will be immediately transported into space to fill my destiny.
Just like The Last Starfighter! (Did I date myself too much...)
The battleship maybe obsolete as a ship fighting platform but the ground artillery support role they were the most cost-effective methods around. that main guns were firing $25,000 rounds and are very accurate. Guided missiles attached to a plane are way more expensive and fighter planes are not cheap to fly or maintain. They have a greater range, but it is certainly not cheap way to hit targets.
I think battleships being retired is more of a shift of the navy of wanting use aircraft and not interested in a ground support role from the coast. Battleships really should have stayed as part of the fleet.

Until's middle finger hurts from pressing the "W" for five hours straight, I will not be impressed. (yes I did this in 1994).
The WHOOSHING sound that you heard is the Planet Express Ship flying over your head.
We got a robot that is stealing stuff, we are finally making progress on creating bending units and robot personalities.

It posts their Jail picks on Hot or Not and if you are > 5 you are considered attractive.

You mention this and I started wondering if they are going to try and copy the Japanese with their Capsule Hotel
This is what we call, the race to the bottom.

I did not quite realize the police are obligated to arrest someone just because someone else say so.
I reviewed your comment( but I did not read it), 4 out of 5 stars.
The utility generates at wholesale prices, and then they are forced to buy it back at retail prices.
I would argue that that their wholesale prices are subsidized as they don't pay the indirect costs of pollution.
I have a hard time imagining any remake being better than the original. It little dialog, but excelled at making you feel for the characters and what was happening at the moment.

The problem with this,
Little did I know that this was the long-term plan planted by the Government implemented by Atari. My years of playing Asteroids will now lead me to picked up by a government van, dropped at Fort Lauderdale, where I will be immediately transported into space to fill my destiny.
Just like The Last Starfighter! (Did I date myself too much...)
As a father of 2 young children they will chose to a) Just eat junk food b) play computer games all day
Now it sounds like all children are just born to be nerds.

Well those self-reliant types can buy a tractor that they can maintain themselves, they just don't get the latest and greatest with it.
No one is requiring them to buy a new John Deere tractor, it just ends up being easier to do so.
