You know a great way to get a scholarship? Have great grades! It's a path that's open to anyone. Or, be a member of a minority group... you aren't a racist, are you?
They're going to have to think of something better than that magnetic strip to hold the card information if they remove the numbers on the outside. For one, online transactions are impossible without the card number, expiration date, and usually (hopefully) CVV2 code. People aren't going to be cool with having to buy USB card swipers to shop online. Also, they're MAGNETIC. I take great care with my cards, and I STILL have some go bad before their time.
Why stop there? Woz would be dressed in a pantsuit and hung inverted on a rack while dwarves plucked at his beard and insulted his mother. And most horribly, Steve Jobs would be forced to wear a brightly-colored T-shirt WITH ABSOLUTELY NO COLLAR WHATSOVER, exposing his poor fragile neck to harsh atmospheric vapors.
Really? The IRS gives out incorrect advice on the tax code, then penalizes YOU for it. People cheat them all the time, because you can only audit a small percentage. Charlie Rangel ripped off the IRS for nearly a decade. It's corrupt and self-serving just like nearly every government organization.
This. Ever wonder why Warren Buffett is so selfless to suggest that capital gains should be taxed more heavily? He has no trouble paying the tax, but upstart competitors trying to compete will.
FDR started that back in the Great Depression with his "freedom from want" nonsense. Because there is no free lunch, in order to get something someone must give it to you. If it's given freely, that's charity. If it's taken, it's theft. If it's taken, then 10% is given to a needy person while the rest is spent on poetry festivals and hookers, that's socialism.
OK, let me spell it out for you: a 1970s Golf was slow. Could you make a racer out of it? Of course! People race anything that's light and can be made to handle well. You mentioned the Golf without bringing exact price into the discussion. A Mustang or Chevelle was cheap and fast; my mother bought a V8 Chevelle Malibu right out of nursing school and it was far faster than any Golf made in the 1970s. The Golf was cheaper, but both cars were accessible to 20-somethings. Also, I'll assume you're young and don't remember-- like I said-- in the 1970s Europe was doing nothing for safety or the environment as far as automobiles were concerned. NOTHING. We couldn't import most of the cars unless they were heavily modified to meet our regulations. Ask anyone about the "baby buggy bumpers" that had to be added to cars like Porsches to import them.
This issue is about searching your phone during a traffic stop. A normal traffic stop does not involve being searched. A traffic violation is not "probable cause" for a search.
I'm afraid that the previous presidential administration did not allow for such cultural discourse about the matter as it must naturally merit
Please cite the law that disallowed research or even, as you claim, "cultural discourse" regarding stem cell (I'll assume embryonic stem cell) research.
I can't believe he actually got the correct wire in the first place. I've heard of folks buying two conductor, 16 gauge LAMP CORD and running it IN THE WALLS to add an outlet.
There are regulations against this; that's a clearly fraudulent manner of doing business. If they don't comply with the law, you have a state attorney general who should be interested.
Telling banks what they can do with their assets is obviously not a free-market principle. Yes, a loan is an asset. The receiving bank still has to follow the terms of the mortgage contract.
Enacting regulations that simply shift power from the lenders to the debtors is not preserving a free market. By definition, a free market has minimal regulations. Government regulations pick winners and losers. I'm not debating whether this is necessary, just explaining the definition. If you don't want your loan sold, you should negotiate this in your mortgage contract. Once you've signed, you can always pay off the remaining balance if you can.
This is true, but consider Matthew 25:14-29. Of course, it's a metaphor, but I think the point is that everyone can agree that gifts should be invested, whether they're personal talents or ones made of metal.
You could drive to work in an M1 Abrams and still end up in a fatal accident if a bridge collapses on you. I plan for the likely scenarios: job loss, economic downturns, natural disasters.
I guess everyone is relying on universal health care, social security, and 99 months of unemployment entitlements now. I don't trust government, so NO THANKS. I'm saving.

Do you really want heads to literally roll? You want a French Revolution here? That turned out well.
98% of us wish that the 1% who are claiming to be the 99% would stop pretending they're speaking for us.

Maybe it's different in banks, but I know several people who became officers in credit unions after starting as tellers.
I still don't see how scenarios 1 and 2 aren't stealing. Not having money doesn't mean you get to take things from other people.

Fast? I can't wait for the "furious" part. Will they plant weapons or contraband in the subject's home to make sure they have a high success rate?
Besides the design, the last time I held a Sony Ericsson phone in my hand, I couldn't figure out how to use the horrible interface.
25% of my bill is taxes. I haven't bothered switching because my taxes would be the same and the line is very reliable.
Only French people would hold up being bad at fighting as a badge of honor. Maybe US soldiers are just better at ducking.

And Chewbacca is on Endor. That just doesn't make any sense.

A local credit union is only paying .5% on 25K minimum checking balances. Heck, even a 60 month bonus certificate-- that's 70K-- is only paying 2.6%.
