What a nonsensical claim. The point of the 5th amendment is to not testify against oneself. The evidence, whether locked in a safe or an encrypted drive, is the "utterance" being protected-- not some disposable tool like a key, combination, or password.
I don't see how this is any different from being the accused in a murder case, and being thrown in a cell until you lead them to where the murder weapon or body is hidden. After all, they didn't make you "utter" the location.
You can't claim that a tenant is paying the landlord's property taxes. If you do that, then when you buy mac'n'cheese from Kraft, you're paying Kraft's corporate taxes, and the grocery store's corporate taxes.
Gas taxes are proportional to gasoline used. If you're putting on lots of miles, hopefully that means you are commuting to a job, making business trips, or going on vacation. The truly poor have a hard time affording cars unless they're good at fixing them-- the gas tax is like concern #9 in the list.
In PA, income tax is a flat rate. I imagine Illinois is the same, and that is where your "same rate as a billionaire" deception is based. Simple math says a percentage is fair. Tautology time: a proportion is proportional. FWIW, in PA there is a (possible) tax forgiveness for families making less than $35K.
If you don't like cigarette taxes, then tell your "progressive" legislators to stop deciding what you're allowed to consume.
I would love being in a salary negotiation with a socialist. Why should I give you more money? You have what you need. In fact, you shouldn't be allowed to quit to get a better offer elsewhere because that would mean you're a self-interested actor.
Now, the tax burden is on the poorer people who can't afford the biggest loopholes.
That only applies to the ones without kids. Poor people don't usually own homes, but besides the exemption for each child there is the EIC if your income is below a certain threshold. No family I know of who makes less that $35,000 a year pays any income tax, and in Pennsylvania, they would pay almost no sales tax either if they were frugal because clothes and food are not taxed.
The biggest problem is that over-40 workers are universally more expensive than the 20's workers. They all want to jump in at the senior level, and feel justified in this based on their experience. This makes them a bigger risk to take, and ultimately more expensive if they don't pan out.
Funny how established companies would rather take an experienced 40+ year old rather than take a flier on someone just out of school for upper management. Maybe it's because experience matters. The interview is where you find out whether it's a guy resting on his laurels.
Europeans don't contribute 20% of their incomes to charity because they believe they have ceded that responsibility to their "democratic socialist" governments. There, social programs run by unelected bureaucrats are considered "charity".
This. I used to hate when my parents said the same thing: "you can always put on more clothes, but you can't run around naked." Maybe that made sense in the 1980s when heating oil was cheap, but the most recent dive in oil prices notwithstanding, if you're not heating with geothermal or natural gas, winter absolutely destroys your budget. This is the first winter in the 7 years I've been in my house that I didn't rack up over $1,000 on heating alone-- and my house is pretty well insulated with an efficient hydronic system.
So you know all there is to know about climate change, but don't know that carbon exists in places other than the atmosphere? Ever heard of sequestration? It's not the answer, but it's part of it.
Monitors rarely have a composite or component input. They also rarely have more than one HDMI input. If you play older console games or have both cable/satellite and a media box or a BluRay player, you're already SOL unless you buy a switchbox or have a media receiver.
To be fair, it's the rest of the country that persecuted them and made them give up polygamy. It really wasn't their decision, and in a time when we're expected to be OK with marriage being what people say it is, the ongoing prohibition of polygamy by the state is the elephant in the room.
I don't smoke. But these baby fascists have banned indoor smoking on private property in many cities. I'm quite familiar with externalities and the tragedy of the commons when it comes to the air. But these cities didn't just ban smoking on patios: they banned it inside the buildings. What business is it of theirs? If nonsmokers refuse to go to smoky bars, the bar will ban smoking on its own, or go out of business. Problem solved. This isn't like putting a sign up saying "NO COLOREDS". You might as well ban alcohol from bars, because its presence keeps recovering alcoholics out.
How about speech? Would you think speech were de facto banned if: - It were heavily taxed, - Those taxes were spent on government anti-speech programs, - You could only speak for a limited amount of time, or only in very small groups, - You had a waiting period before you were allowed to speak on a topic, - You couldn't speak about politics, religion, sex, etc. in public, - You had to get a permit to speak in public.
Just because someone has executive power to declare something classified (no matter the classification, e.g. secret, top secret) doesn't mean they get to IGNORE that classification. If she classified any communications, then they remain so until she officially declassified them. If she classified documents (or someone else did) and she passed them through her vulnerable email server without removing that classification, she is guilty of a violation. Doing otherwise is either lazy or scheming. I'm thinking the former here, because this whole mess started when she didn't want to carry two phones.
Come on, we're mostly IT people here. Do you like it when the CEO unofficially decides that he's above all the rules of the IT department? He'll be the first to fire people when company secrets get out. And this is why we have to demand that MINIMAL accountability to people who are supposed to be highly skilled in their area and honest in their dealings.

I would hope girls eventually get their period. THAT would be a HUGE problem.

But they use face shields, and they're capable of wiping them off or getting a replacement if needed.
Maybe 2 years before one kills a human?

I'm not a huge Gates fan, but you do realize that he's spent BILLIONS on improving education in developing countries through his foundation, right?
But charity is obsolete-- only government programs matter in the leftist's world.

I have a better, and cheaper idea.
Metal signs embedded in the pavement, in Day-Glo colors, that say LOOK UP YOU MORON. Or whatever they say in Germany.

Should talking to your passenger be a felony?
Adjusting the volume on the sound system?
Drinking coffee?
What is the burden of proof for a conviction? Are we going to make people hand over their phones for analysis?

Don't forget all the taxes they're allowed to pass on directly to the customer without mentioning them until they're on your bill.
No, no one is saying that, you stupid troll.
That's what I've done. The answer is to replace my cheap old LG home-theater-in-a-box system with a real receiver, but MONEY.
I used to have a nice Technics, but that was pre-HDMI and when I went HD the receivers were prohibitively expensive for me.
Indeed. That's why arguing things based on the old fashioned left-right line just helps us argue over what kind of totalitarianism we'd prefer.

Oops, I guess that last one is already true!
