Just go hit the water supply of the very rich politicians in Tallahassee and add these same chemicals right up to the limit, in their water. Once their kids show up with Cancer and other interesting diseases, THEN they will be interested in making HONEST laws.
Most Companies pay their CEOs with stock, which the CEO works hard to get its price way up, typically by cheating.
However, if they would pay their CEOs with none publicly traded stock, along with regular salary, then CEOs have a STRONG incentive to get decent dividends rather than focus on the stock price.
Obviously, he is NOT going to regular theaters.
MOST of them SUX BAD.
I am finding that Regal and Alamo are becoming decent.
OTOH, AMC? Please. PURE JUNK.
We need green cards to be given out for techs, while killing off the H1B.
Hopefully, this will be addressed in the next CONgress, or perhaps in the lame duck.
Seriously, living in a place like highlands ranch, which is loaded with well-to-do techies, and having other communities around here, it sux waiting for Google to get here.
Come on Google, work with netflix, amazon, etc and spread out faster. All it takes is a bit of money from all of you to really his this hard.
So, you think that 'the man' sticking it to consumers is right?
Do you believe that if a rich man murders a poor man, that the rich man should go free?
By having VW pay what the car was worth PRIOR to the report, will not bankrupt VW.
And if the car is paid out at full value towards a VW/Audi/Porsche EV, than it helps VW turn the penalty around and sell cars instead of giving money.
Mine is a win-win, where as, your suggestion is that a rich one should get a free ride on society..
Actually, if done right, VW should be made to buy these cars back at original price and then allow that to be applied towards an EV from the company, OR they get the value of the vehicle PRIOR to knowing what was wrong.
Seriously, the west, if not the world, needs to get its act together and figure out taxes amongst the nations. It is silly that nations like Ireland are playing games with taxes so as to bring corporate HQs there, and ignore what is really going on.
At the same time, the west need to start taxing goods that go across borders. It is amazing to me that our GOP fight this, even though it would level the playing field.
NASA is NOT paying taiwan to develop this. THis is a partnership with Taiwan in which Taiwan is paying for their half of this. Basically, they are supplying part of this mission, while NASA is putting it and other items on the ground.
IOW, this does NOT take away from American jobs.
Funny, how Obama's Justice Department dropped the only voter-intimidation/suppression case documented in recent history — as if that was curtailed by something too...
interestingly, that is exactly what was happening in Penn. the driver had his hands off and it was at the point of turning off stereo and slowing down. Then when driver put his hands on it, he turned it off and then took it off road. IOW, this is another fuckup who wants to blame Tesla and sue.
In a nutshell, because of first W, and then O, funding new space, I think that we are about to witness an explosion in growth in space that we have not seen since the 60s.
If BFR really will lift 200-250 tonnes to LEO for less than 300 million, that will also change things even more. Oddly, to keep its costs down, it had to be launched at least 1 / quarter, if not 1/month. For all intents and purposes, that means that we will go to the moon because it is cheap. That will then lead to going to Mars.
You are right that SPaceX CURRENTLY is the only new space in terms of actual production.
However, once Bigelow gets approved for adding to the ISS and then building our their own space station, this will enable lots of human launching.
At the same time, BO is hard at work on creating cheap ORBITAL rockets, so, they will also be able to take advantage of this.
Boeing, L-Mart, Northrup, ULA, etc. etc, i.e. old space, have to make massive changes. As new space takes over, those companies will see their money gutted and will be forced to dump the MBAs that run those companies now.
First off, New Horizons and Juno are pretty much the ONLY missions that were funded out of W's admin. And even that was barely. W's ppl did NOT want either of these, esp. New Horizons. They wanted all of the money to go to Constellation.
OTOH, Obama has had to not only deal with everything being underfunded at NASA under W's admin, but, they ignored many of the REAL needs. For example, W's admin blew 10s' of billion on Constellation and had NOTHING to show for it due to being a job's bill.
In addition, it was shown that we would not be able to do anything with Constellation as it was way too expensive to launch.
Then we had the issue of running out of Pu-238 for radioisotope thermal generators. So, it was O that had to push this over BOTH the GOP and Dems (mostly dems though).
in fact, Obama had to take from planetary exploration to keep CCDev going. Personally, I love automated exploration. BUT, the issue is that we need to lower the costs to explore space. With FH coming soon, along with Dragon V2, we will be able to see more science to ANY LOCATION IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM for a FRACTION OF THE COSTS NEW HORIZON OR JUNO.
Yes, FH will be able to send 14 tonnes to Mars for that 120M. IOW, for less than 1/3 of what it costs us to use DIVH, we will send 2x as much cargo. THat is a great trade.
BUT, it still gets better. Red Dragon is being built and will be able to put 2 tonnes on the surface of Mars. And this is for 200M TOTAL (FH and Red Dragon).
If this is truly accomplished, that means that we can send 2-3 missions to Mars, Jupiter, etc for less than what it costs to do Juno.
The ability to land 2 tonnes on Mars, OR multiples tonnes on one of the Jupiter moons, OR put multiple tonnes on Cerres is huge.
In fact, combined with the MMRTG, a red dragon should make the ideal lander for numerous areas throughout the solar system.
you obviously did not read what we wrote. He and I were actually saying mostly the same thing.
You are correct that neither party has been all that keen on Space/NASA. Sad. I would argue that the GOP has been the worst, though at times, they have had leaders that pushed it.
BUT, Dems have been fine with funding NASA. In fact, every program that comes along, they want to fund. The idea of CUTTING would not make sense to them, EXCEPT, when they have a PERSONAL project that they want to have more money. THe dems who backed the GOP on going after new space was Barbara whats-her-name who backs the new telescope. That nightmare is so over budget and yet, she continues to pour money down its throat. WHy? Because it is in HER backyard.
BUT, again, it is O that has had the foresight to keep going with a COMPETITIVE launch env that we have not seen sine reagan became president. Shortly, we will have not only competitive launch, but competitive space stations, combined with new space going for the moon with a base. And this is all in the next 5-6 years.
first off, Grumman BUILT the lander, but it was designed by NASA. Just like the shuttle.
Secondly, if you noticed, I said NEW space, not private. The new space companies are aggressive and doing what old space USED to do back in the 60s, i.e. R&D on their own.
Sadly, old space (Boeing, L-Mart, ULA, etc) are ran by MBAs that make sure that their executives and stock holders get every single penny that come there way, rather than invest into their company.
Look at ULA. They fought to keep RD-180 claiming that it was their only rocket, while ignoring the fact that they have the Delta (all American). Can Atlas compete against F9? Nope. NOT EVEN CLOSE. ULA has been heavily heavily subsidized by us, and yet, they did NOTHING.
Where new space is going to make changes, HUGE CHANGES, is that they are making things CHEAPER.
It dawned on me that even Cygnus is a rip-off. Bigelow can actually make an inflatable disposable unit that is lighter, more volume, and cheaper than cygnus.
NASA has been treated as a Jobs program by CONgress (BOTH parties). The GOP attempted to kill off competition, esp. SpaceX, to their monopolies, such as ULA. BUT, once new space is up and fully running (BA, along with BO, and SpaceX; hopefully, SNC), this will allow NASA access to the solar system for a fraction of the costs. That will also mean that NASA will be able to do a great deal more including on robotics.

If they do this right, they can convert these to hyperloop instead of slow cars.

The test mode cuts the performance about 20%. IOW, the poor bastards bought a real POS.
so?
The other 2 crafts that might make use the LIDS would be the Orion capsule as well as SNC's Dream Chaser.

More likely that our gov will sell JD to China.
Hell, W sold all sorts of military manufacturing to China. Sad.

They already have it. Everything is logged. That is how they knew of the 2 AP accidents
and yet, it is the in the GOP areas that the observers are being denied.
Funny, how Obama's Justice Department dropped the only voter-intimidation/suppression case documented in recent history — as if that was curtailed by something too...
Really? Link please.
No, the Penn accident is NOT being investigated by NTSB. Nobody died, and now we are that AP was not even involved.
interestingly, that is exactly what was happening in Penn. the driver had his hands off and it was at the point of turning off stereo and slowing down. Then when driver put his hands on it, he turned it off and then took it off road. IOW, this is another fuckup who wants to blame Tesla and sue.
all these companies giving up their capital and ip only to sell a few more items. such idiots.
