    Instead, find new jobs. We have decent working conditions but the pay was little too low. I was one left here, but was looking for a job like everyone else. Out of 6 dev and admin IT folks they ended up keeping two. The two of us left had it made worth our while to stay and new employees were found and paid far better.

    You are a dummy.

    This is easy to solve, you tell them you would love to reschedule. They only need to pay for any lost deposits and for the whole new wedding. If you really are that important they would do that.

    I believe he means libertarian policies would lead to a new age of robber-barons. With government protection employers would abuse employees even more is probably his thought.

    Personally, I agree. The employer has too much power compared to the employee without some sort of group action, either government or unions.

    I mean close all the loopholes. Including moving out of the country. If they ever want to come back to visit family they will owe that tax bill. The rich are rich because they bribe politicians to make loopholes for them.

    I doubt any sane person objects to cutting fruitless wars.

    Then get an education. The place I work at has 3 positions open and we can't fill them. The real issue is we are not allowed to increase the offer amount since the ownership says the economy is bad so employees should be cheap to hire.

    Find a new job. Conspire with your coworkers to make sure as many people as possible leave at once. If you make the lesson painful enough they will learn it.

    We could just tax the rich and reduce our defense spending. Ron Paul would never do that, he would prove to be just as owned by the rich as the rest of them.

    Almost all american workers are "At will" not contract. At will means they can be and often are fired at anytime for no reason with no prior warning.

    The issue is they do not bear the costs. Larger cars kill those in smaller cars, they increase our need to go to war in oil rich areas and put out more pollution into the environment.

    The idea is to make them bear those costs and let them decide what is right for themselves. Right now they make these decisions based on a market that is not pricing these things in. Garbage in, Garbage out.

    That would actually be one of the costs to interalize. Large vehicles kill drivers of smaller vehicles and as such should have to pay more.

    Federal taxes are at levels lower than almost anytime after WW2. A gasoline tax is not a punishment, it is a method of internalizing costs that are normally externalized. Poor folks normally drive old cars that tend to get better than average mpg. An old Honda civic dx is pretty cheap.

    This is then a market failure. What we should do is tax fuel at a rate that makes it internalize the costs it normally externalizes when the results go out the tail pipe.

    I don't think anyone doubts the accuracy of the AR-15 arrangement. The thing is soldiers do not need that level of accuracy. Reliability when you can't clean the firearm is a need. That and a round capable of stopping the enemy quick. You can kill coyotes over much longer distances than 200 years with a .223. Shooting humans with such a dinky round is a bad idea.

    The direct impingement system of the AR15 family works just fine

    On the firing range it does. Shiting where you eat is never a good idea. Even if you were right that this idiotic arrangement was the only way to get those levels of accuracy, and you are not, solders don't need it. Combat ranges have only shrunk since WW2. Even then they rarely exceeded 200 yards.
