I'm curious how a command economy with what amounts to a captive labor force runs out money.
Because people aren't machines, and by having a philosophy that precludes rewarding them for personal performance (and an inability to whip them into submission without incurring the wrath of the global community) you guarantee low productivity.
I think the problem is that Obama is ignorant of the 19th/20th century slang usage of "bully" as TR used in the phrase "bully pulpit", and thinks that he has to actually act like a bully. He claims that he can get things done without Congress because he has a "phone and a pen," launches personal attacks against legislators and his critics, and uses the genetic fallacy in his arguments regularly.
Wow-- isn't that a mega straw man, pointing out that a speech didn't bring down a wall. Who the hell says that his SPEECH (written by Peter Robinson) caused the wall to be brought down? It's often suggested it was his policies. Debate that.
Besides being a post-hoc argument, please note that the existing regulatory environment is quite different from much of the rest of the world. And I could point out nations like Australia, where internet access is heavily regulated yet the performance is low.
I'm not sure where you get the idea that the public interest trumps actual written law, but it doesn't. That's a mob mentality. So you might then think, "Oh, then let's change the law so that the IP of failed companies goes into the public domain." Congrats, you've now made it impossible for entrepreneurs to obtain loans, as they have nothing to borrow against-- they don't even have any physical assets, to begin with.
I'm not concerned about all that stuff that Obama has no, or very little control over. I'm more concerned about his extralegal executive orders regarding immigration and suspending the employer mandate in the ACA, and his failure to dismiss Holder for his incompetence.
Again we go down the wrong path. Number one, making something attractive for a specific sex means making sexist assumptions. Number two, if you want to eliminate prejudice, you make sure that things are not UNATTRACTIVE for people of certain sexes/races-- making it ATTRACTIVE for certain ones is simply another form of preference, by definition.
Iâ€(TM)ve stopped trying to assimilate at work. Iâ€(TM)m no longer trying to make people comfortable with my existence. I am trying to connect with other black women in technical roles
Ironically, it seems that only people of color still believe that "separate but equal" is possible.
If anything, you'd think an English teacher would understand what plagiarism is... but then, plagiarism is part of ethics, not writing style, so I imagine she understood quite well what she was doing and did it in mindless desperation.
Many private sector unions are corrupt, but we can deal with that. We can't have corrupt government unions-- because those affect every one of us by become parasites of the public interest.
The issue is that Stripe likely made its decision based on extralegal threats by the Holder justice department, or some other government agency. Operation Choke Point comes to mind. Failing actual legislative action, the executive imposes de facto suppression of firearms, pornography, bullion exchange, etc.

Covering the roof of every home and business with solar panels? Now that sounds practical and totally not an overreach of government power!
Electricity produced with coal. Let someone else do your dirty work!

I'm afraid your countrymen are ignorant. Who was the leader of a superpower who opened a dialogue with Gorbachev? Helmut Kohl?

If you're specifically selling guns to known criminals, maybe it's because the federal government told you to.
You're lending credence to the theory that veganism is a religion.

The way to fix the economy is for the government to stop meddling with it by picking winners and losers.
More to life than money? OK, I'll take a raise out of your salary, then.
Or, if your employer isn't composed of managerial morons, and you're a high performer, they could try to retain you.
Fortunately for you, management didn't roll a natural 20.
The real question is, how much are you charging for that straw man, there?
Will it end in a big drunken melee, like in their legislature? Seriously, you should Google "south korea parliament fight" some time.

He appoints the board of governors and selects the chairs. That's right, HE DOES.

So females have exclusive skills and knowledge that males don't?
Black people have exclusive skills and knowledge that whites, Asians, Hispanics, etc. don't?
How about gay people? Do they have exclusive skills and knowledge that straight people don't?
How about religion? Do Muslims have exclusive skills and knowledge that Christians, Hindus, atheists, etc. don't?
No, but "Devil with a Blue Dress On" is a rock'n'roll song.
... made of government employees.
