Um, banks are financial institutions that make money with money. The "central banks" you're talking about are instruments of government. They created the problem that progressives like you try to "solve" by doing more of the same.
Um... not only is the health care industry the heaviest regulated, but we are actually REQUIRED to buy insurance. Only a progressive would use this as an example of how government control is better.
To be fair, Wilmington is chock full of HQs for corps chartered in Delaware (which are many) and is the financial capital of the northeast. There are a lot of riders, I think.
They only discontinued the Firebird in.. I'll guess 2002 without looking. I do know the Trans Am package was available every year from 1969 until the model was killed off.
Well, shit, would Obama have become President with this resume?
- Community organizer - IL State Senator (quit after 2 years to run for US Senate) - US Senator (quit after 2 years to run for President)
Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, and Ronald Reagan had similar resumes to George W. Bush (I assume that's the one you're referring to) as former state governors. Were they all short on merit?
Mike Webster is a well-known case of a CTE sufferer, but considering the far higher incidence among skill players and defense, I'd say it's merely the exception that proves the rule.
That would be a stupid assumption. They would be firing people for driving through tunnels and being inside metal buildings. If they do that, they get the failure they deserve.
If I'm not coming across clear: the goal of a test program isn't to send people to the moon on a first launch.
Yes, but the article mentioned the ultimate goal as removing the steering wheel and pedals. I find this moronic. There are going to be situations where the vehicle is befuddled, and I don't really feel like having to turn it off and push it when this happens-- or call for AAAA (Autonomous American Automobile Association).
Visual inspection is dumb, other than checking for bypass devices. If you've tuned the car so well that it no longer needs a restrictive cat, it should PASS.
States like PA have the "fix" for that problem: make the owner pay for emissions inspections. Even worse, it's a "capitalist" system where shops can become certified inspection stations. The cost for the emissions part varies by location, but it's at least $25. Naturally, we must have an emissions AND safety inspection every year regardless of vehicle, while neighboring states (like NJ!) let newer cars skip a few years. I guess this is all to help prop up the repair industry.
My 2004 Alero has passed every emissions test since it was new, on the first try. It now has 155,000 miles. PA tests what is coming out of the tailpipe.
At least in Ontario (where this study was conducted), every car is required to be clean tested every 2 years. Which is a stupid cash grab really, as my 2002 tests just as good now as it ever did
Right. Most of the USA also requires emissions tests, so I take odds with the "poorly tuned" statement. How can you tell if a car was "poorly tuned" just by the emissions collected? I can have a perfectly tuned 1970 Camaro, but it will seem like a smog machine because, frankly, it is with no emissions equipment except EGR. Seizing people's old cars, when they meet the requirements under which they were manufactured, isn't going to fly in any but the most socialist places.
I didn't support the USA going in, but it's best we act like adults and not pretend that Iraq was just minding its own business while we made an unprovoked attack. Iraq was supposed to allow UN inspectors to ensure they didn't develop WMDs; they'd long been keeping them out. That, combined with the (faulty) intelligence, indicated malfeasance.
It's funny how that keeps being overlooked by the media. Most medium and large cities are controlled by one political party, and have been for some time. Strangely, this is usually the political party that constantly accuses the other one of trying to impose a racist police state.
It's a bit more complex that your simplistic outlook will allow. Non-black people are attacked by police every day. It's a police brutality issue or, at the most specific, a police brutality issue focusing on the poor-- not skin color.

I hear straw men are easy to beat up.

Please, do sign off from here-- permanently.
The USA is a place where people enjoy the benefits of the first world while complaining that it's not more like the third world.

Um... unless you were Richie Rich, you made mix TAPES in the 1980s.
So if someone wants to install a single GUI tool instead of a app compatibility layer and a command line tool, they're an idiot?
What if they installed one of those Heartbleed-vulnerable versions of openssl? Are they smart?
Being a sexually-harrassed firefighter sounds like a lucrative career. I'd retire after collecting $9 million, too.

If you read the complaint, you'll see that they required her to keep the phone on "to take customer calls". I'd have a problem with that, right there.

And the insurance companies collect the big fat premiums.

It helps if you maintain your vehicle.

Pope, it's time you grew up.
This is about the first amendment, not the second, AC.
