I am claiming that the previous president gave them some money as well and I erroneously assumed that 535 million included all the money they got out of these loan programs. Which president finalized it seems awfully picky though.
I am sure you have made a mistake before, so lighten up francis.
The residue is part of the scam or he would let people look at it. There would be no secret in the waste if he was not lying about how this works.
Good thing that we can easily turn heat back into electricity then! Just use it to run a thermoelectric effect device or stirling engine. Once that device makes enough electricity you can unplug it and run it until the fuel runs out. He won't do that, because he is a conman.
I disagree, I get the benefit every time I go to work without warlords stealing my car. Each time I don't have to step over the starving to get to my office and each time I make it home without being assaulted. That is just the stuff from having a stable society.
So you think schools and police are the only things you need? You don't think you need everyone to be educated to some minimum level?
Your neighbors would just use that force as an army and take your stuff. If you paid in, maybe they would just use it against those who did not pay. It would also mean that violence would only be suppressed in the areas that can pay. If you want to see what that does to a nation go check out South America, Brazil in particular.
Actually gas taxes are not at all a fair method to pay for roads. Mass per axle impacts road damage on a non simple scale. So a vehicle with twice the axle loading does 8 times the damage, but does not burn 8 times the fuel.
I am going to bet most tax payers. From sanitation to highways to having a peaceful society. Without the last one no business is even possible. Meaning they would not even have the money on which they are being taxed without it.
I doubt you could teach anyone to read with that attitude.
In my area home prices have not increased with inflation. Nor is the bigest increase in administration. It is actually in education costs. Meaning teachers and materials.
There is no need to wonder, inflation means more money is needed for the same material and teachers. I get a raise every year, and I am sure any good teacher demands one as well. Fail to pay and they will go to those who are willing to pay. The same thing you or I would do.
Your idea is as likely to work as communism. People will not act as you expect.
Roads will not be built, as the first person to build one would never be paid. Others would simply connect around his toll booths.
Government and yes the threat of force is used to solve fundamental problems like this because it must be. Otherwise no one would pay as they get nothing unless everyone else also plays along.
The awards are given out by an industry rag. This would be like cable companies getting together to decide which one was best. See how no matter what "merit" they decide no the process is fatally flawed from the beginning?
You get the outcome you expect. Government is not exempted from that.
The government is always the insurer of last resort. That means companies will try to exploit that. This is how those private roads operate. There is no getting around it. We must have roads. You can't simply accept that there are no roads. It just is not an option.
People very well were being killed by employers when we lacked any sort of regulation for working conditions. The Jungle was not about where you meat comes from.
Government can do a great job, this insistance that it can only do mediocre work is why it does mediocre work. People who elect those who say things like this are insane, would you hire a worker who stated your company could only do mediocre work? If you want to see an excellent job being done by government go to places where they expect that from government. They do pay more in taxes though.
Public road alternatives all suck. They end up being like the toll roads in Texas. Built with taxpayer money, sold to some politically connected jerk, and never repaired. Once the road is unusable the company that owns that single road folds and goes into bankruptcy leaving the government to again fix the road.
Slashdot has too many small minded folks who can't see how we all benefit from these things. A big one that people forget is why you can hire someone who can read and write for $9/hr. That is because we made that education free to the person being educated and our businesses all benefit by being able to hire those educated workers for very little.
Slashdot Mirror
How about exercise?
I can't even sit in my office chair for 4 hours without getting up and moving. 450 miles in a car is like torture.
What do you mean no it's not? Did you have trouble fixing it?
Actually many servers now protect against that actually. Again very annoying.
That is just an alias and easy to fix, but yeah a huge PITA.
I can see it on a desktop but on a server OS that sort of handholding should not exist.
This is the sort of braindead thinking that leads rm to really being rm -i on so many server OS.
Sometimes I really do want data gone faster.
I thought right now plastic which is made from naturally occurring oil was the standard material for 3d printing?
Instead of this natural BS, just come out and say renewable or less resource constrained or something.
Wow for a whole few seconds!
You could just then over write ram on shutdown. That would get rid of that attack.
Clearly you are just spouting BS you read without thinking.
So if they did everything but sign the check due to timing that gets them a free ride in your book?

No spin, just that was not all the money they got.
Personally both of those presidents have not been the greatest.
Wrong president dummy, George W Bush gave them that money.

You could have a pig roast by merely flying it in tight circles over your heat source!
Rossi is almost certainly faking it.

You cannot recover old data from memory. Hard disk maybe, but RAM is volatile. Turn off the machine and within seconds it will be gone.
Recovering data from a hard disk can also be made impossible. Simply encrypt the entire device. Without the key no recovery can occur.

Your neighbors have kids right?
You employ people who were once children?
You benefit from having an educated society?
That last one is being eroded in the USA as the teaparty and other ignorance worshippers gain prominence.
I am going to bet most tax payers.

Making money has nothing to do with it.

The government is always the insurer of last resort. That means companies will try to exploit that. This is how those private roads operate. There is no getting around it. We must have roads. You can't simply accept that there are no roads. It just is not an option.
You mean so many humans don't have to.

A financially lucrative part of the Press Gazette's business
The Press Gazette is an industry rag. Not sure why you mention the 1970s, do you consider that to have been a long time ago?
Really, I have got it nailed. Read the damn wiki page. It is run by a trade magazine company.
People very well were being killed by employers when we lacked any sort of regulation for working conditions. The Jungle was not about where you meat comes from.
Government can do a great job, this insistance that it can only do mediocre work is why it does mediocre work. People who elect those who say things like this are insane, would you hire a worker who stated your company could only do mediocre work?

I would not go that far, but thanks for agreeing.
