    We refer to the USA as America. Deal with it, the whole world even calls us Americans.

    He is an odd duck, and like his boss I would likely not vote for him but again not a crime as far as I know. So no need for a pardon.

    Does he write his own speeches or was this his speech writer plagiarizing?

    I don't think you need a presidential pardon for a stupid thing you did in college. Heck, Plagiarism is not even illegal, just wrong.

    Those are two different things.

    If a company could expand it would. Tax cut or no.

    I am not refuting that, merely pointing out that supply side economics does not work. No one will hire more people because they have extra money, extra money is called profit.

    Please explain.
    Why in the world would you hire employees you don't need if there was a tax cut?

    This sound like tired old incorrect supply side economics.

    There is lots of crap OSX software. It just seems to be ill tolerated and quickly found out. Windows users are just way too accepting of poor quality. Probably because they are so used to it.

    The most qualified people in the world for this all work for TEPCO? Excuse me if based on current performance I find that hard to believe.

    I agree that was a terrible move. What should have happened was both. Then Exxon should have been fined nearly into the ground. Instead they still have not really cleaned up.

    The Chinese will not be making the next lunar lander, they will be lucky to have an economy much longer the way they are building empty cities. The russians can't even afford to visit the ISS alone, how are they going to buy it?

    We don't bum rides, we fund their space program. They need us more than we need them. We could always buy transport on another launcher and soon Falcon will be that launcher.

    Good job missing what I was saying.
    Is it hard to read a comment and miss what it says or does it come natural to you?

    NASA does lots of routine for them stuff, like going to the ISS for example, well before they stopped the shuttle program.

    Doing this invents and funds the creation of things needed to even make getting this to the masses possible.

    International airline travel as we have it now was only possible after it was routine for nations to fly jets. Sure they were expensive, and only for fighters at first, but that opened the door for industry to commercialize the tech.

    Or they could hire the best and brightest to oversee the engineers at TEPCO.

    Do you think it was the engineers or the bean counters that fucked this up?

    Of course TEPCO should pay the full cost of this, in addition to fines and possible criminal penalties.

    No, but they can hire those folks and have motivation to do so.

    At this point the Fukushima site is a total write off. TEPCO has no reason to spend any money on it. What should happen is the government should bring in the right folks to fix it, and TEPCO should be forced to pay for it.
