This has nothing to do with the topic whatsoever. How about this: people aren't forced to live in Foxconn dormitories in the USA, such that the only way out is to commit suicide by jumping out the window. Are we winning yet?
This is useless, biased information unless it is reported per capita. These companies are HUGE. I could run a small business where I have 10 employees and they're all on food stamps, but if MongoMart has 10,000 employees and 11 are on food stamps, Bloomberg reports "MongoMart employees are the largest group of... food stamp recipients on Slashdot."
Discover used to be nice competition for the duopoly that is Mastercard and Visa, but their willingness to shaft their customers got me to swear them off forever.
You're another one of those people who hand-wave away that tired old "scarcity" myth. Where does the money come from? It will come in inflation (due to higher prices) or from the taxpayers, as food stamp rolls SWELL due to higher unemployment.
Because telling businesses what information they must provide to the public is the same as the old unconstitutional "fairness doctrine". Would you like to require that Rachel Maddow have Sean Hannity on her show every night to rebut her points? If a search engine is providing biased results, don't use it. Providing FALSE information could be a problem, as that would be libel.
I don't understand why I have to explain this on a forum that's populated by teens and adults. You can't use your rights to infringe on others' rights.
I kind of wonder whether activation is going to work after April 8. No one has brought this up in years. Microsoft's servers have to still answer to requests from XP machines; if they don't, the software is unusable. Really, they should activate any request with any key since it's unsupported and it would take more effort on their part to continue maintaining the database.
I think an overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man, that he's African American.
This is not an intellectually honest answer. Netflix is offering both the inconvenient "old" method and the "next" slightly more convenient method. Obviously, there are separate groups of people who are willing to trade price for convenience and vice versa. The two methods aren't both offered in the hope that you'll rent the DVD, then stream the same movie you already rented. In both instances, it's understood that you were only renting it for a limited time. You didn't "buy" media.
I don't understand how they can be so smug when all they're doing is using a *little less* gas by driving an underpowered, overcomplicated contraption--if they REALLY wanted to help the environment they would be driving electric.
Because if I only needed to travel less than 80 miles in a trip, I could just use public transportation?
Banks don't make ATMs. Blaming banks for poor ATM security is, for the most part, like blaming someone who was in an accident because their defective ignition switch shut off the car. Banks need to make sure their ATMs are physically protected and maintained. They do this, for the most part.
Firms like Triton and Diebold build ATMs. That's where change will really have an impact.
Who needs to take a shot at Obamacare? He's doing that himself with his own executive orders. He's tacitly admitted that both the employer and citizen mandates are untenable.
You mean the one who called everyone who didn't like Obama a racist?
Then, on the other hand, he said he couldn't criticize the Tea Party (which almost without exception disagrees with Obama's policies) because it became popular for the same reason he was elected: disillusionment with government.
Jimmy Carter's fault has always been that he wants fairness and "the right thing" not merely what's popular or "should be" right. Reagan's popularity was in large part because he didn't care that much about fairness, he wanted what "should be" right for him, his cronies, and his country, and everyone else was expected to get out of the way and take care of themselves.
If that's what you got from Reagan, I feel sorry for you. You seem to take everything Carter said on face value, and assume he meant well, while all the optimistic things Reagan said and meaningful things he accomplished must have all been for the nefarious purposes claimed by his harshest critics. The flaw in your argument should be clear to you immediately, in that Reagan couldn't both be popular (implying wide support) and only interested in what was best for his "cronies". I suggest you reevaluate your opinions of both based on the facts, not on hyperbole.

What you are talking about is addressed in anti-trust laws that are over a century old.
Excellent one-sentence summary!

LOL... that's almost true. The administration said it wanted more people on food stamps, and that is what we have.

You gotta be reasonable about Judas, man. Make him Month 0.
So they can make people take down monuments in remote locations that have been around for 60 years?
In some states, a 13 year old can give permission for themselves to have an abortion, without parental consent of any kind.
Coincidentally, Minnesota is one of them. However, the parents do have to be notified.
Yes. They could be instantly arrested for viewing child porn.

He committed to Snowden and the freedom of privacy in the same way he committed to America's energy independence by wearing a sweater on TV.
Well, at least he didn't keep the White House thermostat at 78 degrees F like the current resident.
Electricity rates are skyrocketing. Why can't the President set his thermostat lower than 75 degrees in the winter?
Who decides what is too luxurious? The politburo?
I don't play golf, and even I know you have to take a penalty stroke if you do that so there's a reason for their resistance.
People used to get up in the middle of the night and read or do other tasks.
Also if you're white, red, yellow, or a fetching shade of mauve. Don't bring race into this.
