ISP could make access slashdot extremely slow to impossible to access if they didn't like its content without neutrality. Same goes for the FCC comment section on net nutrality. They could fastlane Britbart and FoxNews and basically cripple access to liberal sites. Or, perhaps more to your horror, they could do the reverse. Net neutrality stops free speech by curtailing access to a tiny rotting pipe if the ISP so chooses.
Makes sense... except that Net Neutrality is exactly the opposite of what you posted above. Net Neutrality [i]prevents[/i] the ISPs from throttling your access based on what you are trying to access.
The rich can leave, or at least move their wealth to somewhere the government can't reach. Wealth/capital is fluid and goes where it's value is highest. Who will you tax when you run out of rich people? As Margaret Thatcher famously quipped;"Socialism is great until you run out of other people's money."
Give me Basic Income.
Why should others be obligated to simply *give* you that which they worked hard and sacrificed to obtain? What right do you have to essentially make people who create wealth slaves simply to support you? Go make your own damned money and stop trying to get the government to do your thieving from others for you!

And when he can't get a job to "work hard and sacrifice" due to outsourcing and automation, he will have have two choices:
1. He can starve to death. 2. He can get money to live on via an alternate method.
I am willing to bet that he will pick "2". Since someone else has the money, he will need to get it from them. Which way would you prefer?
1. Give it to him via a basic income paid for by taxes 2. Have him take it from them via criminal activity
Get enough guys like the above guy and you "work hard and sacrifice" guys will be in a real pickle.
PS: A large number of those who "worked hard and sacrificed" people who have the lion's share of the money did anything but to acquire it.
Trump sold the voters on the danger of ISIS and Islam when in reality only a tiny fraction of a percent of the population has ever been killed by them.
He then proceeded to dismantle the healthcare system with the blessing of his voters despite the fact that millions of people are killed by curable illness every single year.
Go figure.
People do stupid things (like vote Republican) when angry and/or afraid.
We elected a charismatic narcissist bullshit artist and now they're surprised when they find out that he lied to them? Go figure indeed.
Several democrats who ran for state senate had this as part of their platform. This was an issue that was brought up at multiple caucuses across the state and in the state convention as well. The only surprise is that their were some republicans who were willing to favor people over profit on this vote and join with the democrats.
There are quite a few of the GOP MN state legislators that are more moderate (at least the ones from my area). The state GOP controls both the House and Senate, but they can't simply push their agenda too hard due to Governor Dayton's veto power.
Unions only serve to protect the least amongst the employees. That's why they uniformly prevent crappy folk from getting fired for cause.
Bullshit. Unions exist because at one point or another Management decided it would be more profitable to shit on their employees rather than treat them fairly.
Companies that take care of their employees generally don't need to worry about unions.
By electing a president of a multinational corporation who staffed his cabinet with globalist billionaires? Yeah, sure, bro.
Trump is Schrodinger's president. He can be both an isolationist hate filled xenophobe and a globalist sellout at the same time, whichever his detractors think is worse in the moment!
Queue the mental gymnastics trying to show the president is a white supremacist yet is selling out his nation.
No gymnastics needed. Trump is a master bullshit artist, pure and simple. He can be whatever he wants his audience to think he is.
The Right likes to harp on it because it's another way to attack "Big Government", one of their bogeymen. Why? Because it's the Federal government which creates the consumer protections big business hates, a.k.a., regulations.
Until they get their hands on the checkbook. Then deficits (and the debt) don't matter anymore.
If deficits mattered then they need to be making them smaller (like we did during the Obama years). From what I see about their budget proposals they will do the exact opposite.
No, sorry. Employers simply offer employees what they are worth right now; employers aren't going to "invest" in employees because there is no legal way in which employers can bind employees to them.
There was this concept called "loyalty" which used to mean something for both employee and employer back in the day. Employers took care of their employees through good pay, benefits, and job security. Employees in turn bent over backwards and did a good job for the employers.
Employers burned that bridge when they started treating employees like disposable commodities instead of people. "Bind" employees? How about treating them well so that they WANT to stay?

Where's the giant, Mansley!?!?!?
HRC had too much baggage
Yup, 25 years worth of it heaped on her from the GOP character assassination campaign. Never mind that the great majority of it was not actually hers.
Certainly not completely without her own baggage but not of the magnitude the GOP would like you to believe.
I bet there are lots of people right here on Slashdot who would argue for it.
Right on up until it becomes apparent that they are next to "starve and die".
Partially disagree. It's malicious but that doesn't mean Trump isn't stupid too.
Trump is not stupid. He is an asshole narcissistic bullshit artist. I would add sociopathic but that would be redundant, as he was a CEO.

I've heard of a horse....
But what is a "draft" horse?
The original All Terrain Vehicle.
Don't try to understand women. Women understand women, and they hate each other.
two thirds (63 percent) think they'll struggle to find the right people in the next year.
Translation: Idiots who will work tons of extra hours for peanuts.

The layers of fake news are wrongly arranged, because they are ill laminated.
We are Dyslexic of Borg. Prepare to have your ass laminated.
Tax the rich.

Myth? I'd call it a bald-faced lie.
Well, I guess that's one way to get out of this chicken-shit outfit.
To properly define what a planet is, I think you need to first define what a moon is.
Moon: a body that orbits another non-stellar body where the center of mass is within the larger body's radius.
Planet: a spherical body that is not a moon or star. Sub-groups include gas giants, terrestrials, minor planets, double planets, etc.
I'm probably missing some nuance or details but you get the picture.
Cats were worshipped as gods back in ancient Egypt. They haven't forgotten.
These are the ones from the TV show and movies.
