Do you realize what the NDAA is? It's the National Defense Authorization Act. It's something that has to be signed every year. The problem here is that Congress can put all sort of crap into a must-pass bill.
Sloppiness in handling classified information has not, in the cases I was able to find, resulted in prison time. The legal dangers may have been exaggerated to you, because they're not in accord with what I could find.
She was investigated for the email incident. Comey came to the conclusion that, which she had broken some laws, there was nothing worth prosecuting. Comey's also the guy who timed a meaningless leak to hurt Clinton's election chances, so he wasn't being pro-Clinton.
That whole situation was later to be determined that both people contributed to the outcome by their poor choices.
Gates is an ordinary citizen. Such citizens vary widely in their ability to defuse a confrontation. The Cambridge police should be trained in defusing confrontations. We seem to have a system in which police can be trigger-happy and the rest of us are responsible for calming them down.
What hasn't he done that he said he would, aside from meeting certain schedules? Space-X is doing an excellent job of launching stuff into orbit. There's Tesla cars around, and people appear to like them. Paypal is a going concern.
Sure, and Musk has been delivering cars people want, albeit behind schedule. We should have no difficulty in finding historical examples where that strategy works.
No, if you do no research you aren't more likely to go against the evidence, because you won't have evidence. You're more likely to get things right if you do the research.
So far, Musk seems to be doing pretty well at making electric vehicles and sending stuff into orbit. I'm not nearly as impressed by the Hyperloop, but two out of three ain't bad.
What you seem to have said is that lots of people, including experienced engineers, are wrong. You've provided no support for your argument. I'm not convinced.
Chernobyl was a case of a bad reactor design that was thoroughly abused by people who didn't know what they were doing. It's not happening again. Nobody's going to do things that stupid at a reactor ever again.
Fukushima could happen again. We know enough about the technology to make it extremely unlikely, but business considerations come into play.
If you're a Christian, go ahead and obey the Commandments. You can do that as an individual. The Commandments look to me like they want individual obedience.
I'm not a Christian or Jew, and have no obligation to obey them, or pay attention to the Bible for that matter.
It would be unconstitutional to establish the Commandments as law
I am sympathetic to the reality that restaurant staff are not particularly well paid,
Sure. That's why I tip well. If the server isn't making much money, helping the server commit tax fraud isn't going to be as helpful as leaving a larger tip.
If it's service, then payment, I believe a debt is created, and they must accept cash. If the meal or hair styling requires payment up front, they can set any terms they wish.
Without getting into the details of why you are wrong, almost all my assets are digital. This includes my bank and other dollar accounts, my bonds, and my stocks. There is functionally no difference between dollars I own and credit cards I use, except for the very small amount I keep in the form of rectangular pieces of paper and metal disks.
Federal Reserve Notes, which are themselves legal tender in the US, date a lot earlier than that. I never saw a gold certificate in circulation, and only a few silver certificates when I was very young, probably the early 60s.
I use my card for almost everything, and keep a fair amount of cash on hand. If I ever should decide to do something covertly, I can leave my phone at home, get some alternative transportation, and pay cash.
I don't know that they can turn down bills too large, but I don't think they're legally required to make change in that case. Coins do not have that "legal tender" printed on them, and I think there are limits in how many coins you are required to accept.
If you're an employee, then your time is free to you, but not to your employer. If you're self-employed, your time is limited and there's probably lots to do. You could either do something to make more money or have a little leisure (which most people consider worthwhile), so your time is not free when you consider opportunity costs.
Close. There's no law that requires a private entity to accept cash in a transaction. Once a debt has been created, the law does say the entity has to accept cash. If I want to buy a widget off you, and you want BTC or Euros or Zimbabwe dollars or bushels of wheat, I can either supply your desired form of payment or find another widget seller.
If I walk into a restaurant and order food, when the bill comes it's a debt. It's money I owe the restaurant. The restaurant must accept my cash or waive the debt. It can accept other forms of payment (most happily accept my credit card), but that's not required. Obviously, this doesn't apply to a counter-type restaurant where you and over your money and get your food, but, in the US, sit-down restaurants operate on debt.

Ah, you know everything Mueller's found? Who hacked into his systems and told you?

I'll bite. What did Obama do that was seriously illegal?
If you're talking about Trump persecuting Obama, that's an exceedingly dangerous road to go down, especially for Trump.

I don't know. I use 6% as my typical investment growth. It's a little conservative, but it works.
Therefore, I'd lose money if I paid off my 0% loan early, unless the investments in question lose value (which isn't impossible, of course).
Scientists spend a lot of time reading scientific papers. Most people don't. Scientists poop frequently. So does everybody else. Bad comparison.
The scientists I knew seemed to spend a lot of time doing it.

I like it when the economy is sufficiently good that people like those cashiers can find work.

Exactly what did you agree to, and would a court hold it to be binding?

Open the package before or after the sale? If it's after, there never was a debt. If it's before, you've damaged someone else's property.
