1. If a person is on food stamps, they pretty much should not have enough money to buy a smartphone with data plan to use EBT apps....? Food stamps are for the poor, and the TRULY poor people can't afford luxuries like smart phones....if they can afford those, they can afford to buy their own food.
2. One argument against making social programs like food stamps easier...is that making them a PAIN IN THE ASS might help encourage folks to double down on work and education, sacrifice so they can get a real job that pays enough so that they don't need to live off the govt. teet.
Yeah, makes no sense to me for them to protest Apple...seems they should be protesting in from of ATT stores, since they are the ones they have the beef against....?
Of course I don't know many people who feel obligated to step away from a non-VR deathmatch to check their phone either, so I'm not sure how relevant that really is. Most realtime games already demand your undivided attention, and the multiplayer ones can't be paused.
The hell with real time games...how about something real and real time.....driving?
Are there that many idiots that can't put the phone down to simply drive? I see a lot out there, usually the ones swerving around, but I didn't think it that pervasive.
I was already affected by the US Office of Personnel Management hack, because I needed clearances to get my $55k job doing government IT support in Silicon Valley.
Ouch...man, you need to renegotiate....someone is getting WAAAAAY too much of your bill rate for federal IT work with a clearance.
Look, ErichTheRed made the claim that "SJWs" are the only ones who "can act normally around the opposite sex". And, of course, it's obviously false, since there are plenty of non-SJWs who "can act normally around the opposite sex".
I would posit that many of the men being taken to court ARE the ones that are acting "normally" around women.
They are acting like men have since the world began, with regards to the sexual game.
The ones with inhibited behavior, are not the norm, but they also don't get sued in todays system.
Again, this isn't all or nothing and I'm not speaking to the extremes on either side, but aggressiveness and the sexual hunt for women is natural for men, and walking through a certain set of doors of a building don't turn off what nature has set up for us as far as behavior and desire.
Meaning there is some pretty serious incentive to file a lawsuit and squeeze out a settlement because as you said, no company's legal team is crazy enough to go to trial on this issue.
Yep...I gotta admit, if I had tits, I'd be tempted to try to hit pay dirt like this....dangling that type of money in front of someone is very difficult to resist.
One settlement, set for life....
"Yes your honor, he grabbed my ass, and I'm devastated and can no longer work....."
Ok....I wasn't thinking of nylon as "plastic"...just didn't hit the brain right. When I think plastic, I think water bottle or even vinyl type stuff.....
Funny.... out of 90% of "sports cars" I see on the road, none are being driven like sports cars - usually some middle-aged middling-ego middle-manager behind the wheel who's too busy texting or talking on the phone to actually drive.
Not me...I don't generally even answer the phone for voice in the car, and do NOT text (read or write).
I do this because I like to drive FAST...and I know I need to pay attention to road conditions and traffic around me.
If their country sucks so badly....they should fix it there, rather than come here, get mad at our country's culture and protest, waving the flags of their country of origin at the damned rallies.
Its a tough world, but it really isn't our problem.
We have plenty of problems with our own true citizens we need to address and take care of first.
By stopping DACA you turning kids into criminals. They had no control in entering this country, have lived here for 20 years
Well, sad their parents were so unthoughtful and put their children in such a predicament.
However, they are STILL here illegally....DACA didn't legalize them. They were still illegally here, it was that DACA said they'd not be deported (in general).
DACA wasn't a constitutionally backed edict from Obama, so it has been rescinded.
Those kids, sad as it is...were and still are here illegally.
If people have been productive in society for that long without committing other crimes then why deport people that are already contributing to the local economy?
Hmm..so, if someone commits burglary, and steals $10,000 or so dollars and gets away with it. And...over the next 20 years, they never do anything else wrong, gets a job, contributes to society and then they are caught, we should just let them go, because they have been good all this time?
You're of the mind, that someone commits a crime, that if they are good on their own for years before being caught, then we don't even bother applying the consequences of the law to them?
Back then, TV was religion and every room had a TV.
Err...pretty much every room still has a TV??
I mean, I do...and in general I pretty much always have at least one TV on in the house, depending on the room I"m in. If I"m moving between rooms regularly for something I"ll likely have at least 2 televisions on at any given time.
Don't most people...?
I don't know that I have hardly ever visited a friend's house and there not been a TV on.
Except for where that intersects with treaties, the requirement that the destination country agree to accept the deported person, refugees, and so on, and so on.
We're talking primarily Mexico right now...
And when exactly did our treaties change with them on deporting back to them?
Hell, only a few decades ago, this wasn't even a question....hell, look for the funny references to it in Cheech and Chong's Up in Smoke movie....it was just common knowledge even in the 70's.
So, did we change our treaties with these countries since then?
It's because he's a racist, a good deal of his supporters are racist, and he wants to remain popular among them. The end goal is to reduce the number of people of Latin American origin in this country. Not to restore a proper constitutional balance. That's only a happy coincidence.
I don't think that the majority of folks in the US, nor the majority of Trump supporters have a problem with Latin or any other type of immigrants, as long as they are LEGAL immigrants.
Don't forget, the ones in question here are here ILLEGALLY, and by law of the land as it currently stands, are to be deported.
I agree that the immigration process needs to be updated and better regulated, and made to not be so $$$....however, that is no excuse not to enforce the currently laws.
If we don't like the laws on the books, then change them.
That is where the energy and push should go, not by defending people here illegally, who by definition have broken US immigrations laws and are in criminal violation.
Well, while I have not had time to verify your statements about Espionage...it is pretty clear from existing law that if you are in the US illegally and are caught, you are to be deported.
Please see the 10th Amendment that affirmed that the Constitution was to have most power reside with states:
From the Wikipedia article: "It expresses the principle of federalism and states' rights, which strictly supports the entire plan of the original Constitution for the United States of America, by stating that the federal government possesses only those powers delegated to it by the United States Constitution. All remaining powers are reserved for the states or the people."...
However, if you think that DACA is unconstitutional then why wasn't it successfully challenged?
Actually, I believe there are at least 10 states that were about to bring suit on DACA, and I believe with the precedent set by throwing out DAPA(?), that DACA would have been tossed too.
This was the president expediting the inevitable and saving some legal time and $$$.

I don't do FB or twitter.....and have no problem putting my phone down.
Do people out there really have it so bad that they can't bear to put down or miss a FB post or tweet?
Sounds borderline addiction to me.....is it really *that* widespread?
Is this generational (mostly a millennial thing)?
Well, with most of the mexican population now illegally residing in the US, it is now important news here....
If that were true, then you'd not see all the men (and many women) having affairs, and the high divorce rate, etc.
The drive never stops...hell, my Dad at upper 70's still looks and chats up women while we're out.
It never goes away.
Ouch...man, you need to renegotiate....someone is getting WAAAAAY too much of your bill rate for federal IT work with a clearance.
You should be pulling in 6 figures for that.

I mean, seriously, can we not wait a day or so to get votes tabulated and backed up with manual counts of physical ballots?
Isn't getting the will of the people worth it taking a day or so to make sure it is real and accurate?
All my stuff is cotton....what is considered "plastic" clothing that a dryer would vent dangerous lint out...?
But no, I do get pissed when I see non-citizens, illegally in MY country, waving the flag of a foreign country, protesting MY country.
You'd think they'd see it as a bit counter productive.
Not me...I don't generally even answer the phone for voice in the car, and do NOT text (read or write).
I do this because I like to drive FAST...and I know I need to pay attention to road conditions and traffic around me.
I just hope they don't become mandatory....I prefer the fun of driving myself, hence my always buying sports/performance cars.
Brexit isn't sounding so bad now, is it....?
Exactly how are our US immigration laws racist?
Expensive? Yes...
A clusterfuck of paperwork, and red tape? Yes...
It takes waayyy too long of a process? Yes...
Racist? How?

Nothing really vague about that.
