Not quite. Leaving the decision of whether you get health care in the hands of people who make more money if they DON'T approve treatment is a mistake.
Good. If someone is going to cut a hole in me to fix bits that have gone wrong, I want them to be seriously good at it.
Would you prefer someone who is a bit less than seriously good at it, or someone who is seriously good at it, but who has already worked 10 hours that day and could really use some rest?
It's hard to tell if that's related to age and income, or just a general inability to understand that every government project has negative unintended consequences all out of proportion to what it as to accomplish...
Yeah, like that ARPANET nonsense. WTF was that about?
And if there are 1000 kids in the school, the chances that there's nobody who can kick your ass is 0.1%, so chances are you're going to have to try a different strategy with them. Or get your ass kicked just like you did before you decided that violence is the only answer to everything.
You don't have to be able to defeat them in a fight, you just have to make beating you painful enough for them that you're not an attractive target.
If people need parenting advice it shouldn't be from Slashdot. Come to think of it, if people need parenting advice, they shouldn't be having kids.
Most industrialized first-world nations have a birth rate that is below the replacement rate. We need to encourage people to have MORE kids, not fewer.
- for washing, there's only so much you can save, you know. (Short of stopping washing. Then again, looking at one particularly stinky co-worker... please, please, please don't. Saving the planet be damned, go take a shower;) Heating 1 litre of water by 1 degree has a lower limit on how little energy you can use, because, you know, it's just physics. Plus heating it was always as efficient as it gets: converting electricity to heat, we can do with 100% efficiency. It's only converting to other stuff that starts to be inefficient. The only thing that works differently is the insulation, and I think that's getting better too.
We can do it using solar energy, and you don't even need any photovoltaics to do it.
Solar thermal basically consists of using the sun to heat up your water in your water heater, and electricity to heat it up the rest of the way, or when the weather isn't being cooperative.
Before worrying about the quality of your future and the future of your dependents, you have to make sure that there WILL be a future. Getting fired and made homeless pretty much kills that.
The slashcrowd can look at previous reactions to this bit.
Your point?
I think his point is that your way requires your employees to place a very large amount of trust in you that you won't try to screw them out of their bonuses, and most companies simply haven't earned that trust.
I guess they could tack on another $100 to get a driver's license. After all, the poor really don't have any choice but to drive.
I suppose they could simply do what they do with insurance - simply refrain from getting it and drive anyway. I don't think even WE can incarcerate that many people.
Right now I'm trying to look up information on whether Nixon was ever formally charged with a crime in Watergate. Ford's pardon "granted Nixon a full and unconditional pardon for any crimes he may have committed while President", according to wikipedia.
Yeah, I know Wikipedia isn't exactly a scholarly source, but I'm not writing a research paper here.
I'm sure Bush would at least try to argue that he could preemptively pardon everybody involved, maybe even himself so they couldn't press charges after he left office. It would be a lot less ridiculous than some of the arguments made by his administration.
The intelligent folks would start the indictment towards the end of Bush's term, and have it run through after he is out of office. No sentence should be passed while George Bush is in office. This way, when faced with SOLID jail time, Karl Rove will show how his underhanded life will play against George Bush and Co when he starts blathering about every bad thing he and his buddies in the White House did during his tenure. And you can bet that it would happen if he did face jail time.
Bush can pardon Rove even if no sentence has yet been passed. For precedence, see the pardoning of Richard Nixon.
I know a guy who got blackout drunk and had sex with an ex-FB of his. She got pregnant, and refused to have an abortion.
Turns out the baby wasn't his. It also turns out, she KNEW this, lied to him about it, and had intentionally been having sex with guys with no protection in order to get pregnant. She saw this guy as the most financially viable (long term), so she told him the baby was pretty much definitely his.
I'm still surprised anyone gives these studies any credence at all. The only data we have about this is the testimony of the person, and there's a substantial stigma against remaining a virgin, hence a very large incentive to lie.

There's a fee because the government wanted this to stay quiet. If this were a legitimate court ordered process, Comcast wouldn't get anything.
Basically, it's hush money.
Not exactly. The people at the top of the two parties are likely quite different.
They're just getting paid by the same corporations.
It wasn't worth it at all.
If you're a target for a bully, there's very little you can do for the big picture. That's the job of adults and the school district.
If you're a kid getting beat on, then you have to take care of yourself any way you can.
No, then you have to use more political strategies than overt physical force.
But when you're dealing with a bully beating you up, you just have to make them think other targets are more attractive than you.
Solar thermal basically consists of using the sun to heat up your water in your water heater, and electricity to heat it up the rest of the way, or when the weather isn't being cooperative.
Seems your way in doesn't exist anymore.
This is exactly why I stopped listing my Master's degree on my resume.

I had not heard of this (I'm from Texas too).

They'd never want to make it hard to get a driver's license. It would grind the economy to a halt if poor people couldn't get to their jobs easily.

I prefer to ask them for a copy of their CC information.

Exactly. I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed, or numbered! My life is my own.
Maybe, but we're talking about Steamboat Willie here, not Cinderella or Snow White.
