no, actually, I DO read French news and the only ones that the gov goes after are the small ones. Total, Areva, Orange and Sanofi are all companies that owe money to the french gov, but your gov is doing little to NOTHING.
they focus on the small guys.
My guess is that things will get MUCH MUCH worse, before it gets better. Sadly, this is an example of extremism in politics. Groups like the GOP as well as 350.org are destroying the world.
I am no fan of reagan, but have to give the man credit; he DID re-do the taxes in which he got rid of so many tax breaks. We need to do the same here and solve this issue with these companies.
Stone is correct about NSA. They really are out to stop terrorists, spies, etc. Yeah, there was some issues, which is what snowden FIRST brought up. That is why I have said that he deserved a medal for that.
BUT, the rest that snowden outed should have made him eligible for a bullet between the eyes. He was a true traitor to America, as well as the west.
It is particularly frustrating when you realize that all of the current and old nuke sites had/have plenty of cooling and transmission capability. It is actually relatively cheap to add these small reactors to these sites and then use up the old fuel. Worst of all, we are going to need to replace not just coal and nat gas plants, which is around 66%, but 20% is nukes and will require replacement. With these smaller reactors, we can place 10-15 of these to replace 1-2 GW reactors
Seriously, burying this makes little sense, which is why Yucca mtn was stopped.
So, if we spend a couple of billion NOW, we can have multiple reactors that are designed to burn this up and leave us with minor amounts of radioactive material that will be safe within 200 years.
The fact that we have NOT solve this is because the dems are as anti-science as the GOP.
right. I totally agree with Icahn on this. The reason is that China has made things difficult for Apple all along, and they have ignored that. Now, China will likely block western companies, and soon. The inspections going on, are almost certainly a prelude to that.
they have ppl with guns. None of them are entitled to hunt a terrorists. They are only allowed for self protection.
Basically, NSA has no real power, but, they pass information up the ladder that has been vetted for terrorism, spying, etc.
Which is why I said to move the h1b numbers to green cards. Right now. The majority of h1b is used to move jobs offshore. But green card keeps them here and makes the companies compete.
Saw plenty of Chevelle with 250-300k miles and that was back in the 80s. Likewise, the 60s Camaro, mustangs, etc survived just fine, as long as they were well taken care of.
actually, the old cars back from the 50s and 60s lasted LONG TIME. In addition, we only paid.20-.30 / gal for gas. Dirt cheap to run. And the real reason for the high costs of cars today, is basically piss poor management that mismanaged then and now, and still get bucko bucks to continue it.
OTOH, Tesla's Model 3 is coming and will be be dirt cheap to own. THe reason is that Tesla has a small management team, and keeps things TIGHT. In addition, they are bringing all parts inhouse so as to lower all of the middle men that are creating lots of overheads. Hell, Tesla got rid of the majority of sales and marketing that the others have.
And to be fair, I look forward to Tesla's car after Model y. I am guessing that they will do a sub-compact that gets 200 MPC, with only 35 KWH worth of batteries and costs only 20K. At that time, Tesla is eating every bodies breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Feds, police, NSA, CIA, DOD, etc will attempt to cheat corners on gathering intelligence. Why?
Because it is SO DAMN HARD to get it in the first place. However, where I have a REAL issue is that FBI, Police, CIA, and DOD all have weapons, and all sorts of political will be behind them.
OTOH, NSA, does NOT carry weapons, other than for personal protection. NSA's job is just to acquire intel as well as safeguard our systems (which they are failing on the later). NSA's intel is used for national security, as opposed to going after individuals.
It is insane that FBI thinks that they have the RIGHT to do this.
EVs, because of Tesla, are happening much faster. As such, these other car makers are being forced to also go down the paths of EVs as well as automated cars, all because of Musk.
And the costs / mile will be quite cheap.
Seriously, the costs of driving / mile will return to what we had back in the 60s, which was very low. What is needed now, is to raise taxes on gas/diesel slowly and invest into the infrastructure so that in the future, things will be safer.
no doubt about it. Dragon v2 requires a whole new vetting. However, all that is left is the abort flight and the unpopulated test flight. After that is the first human flight.
Actually, Obama would LOVE to compromise during the intermission. And it would be ideal for the GOP CONgress to do a number of deals with O at that time. For example, we need a decent energy bill that includes Nuke Reactor development. Dems will fight it since they are as anti-science as the GOP (just depends on WHAT science they want to disavow). So that is the time also to cut deals on getting the Deficit cut in half again (say down to 200B).
You are right that it depends on where you live. However, I grew up in northern illinois and worked at an McD in the 70s (as well as in fields and in construction; and all paid relatively a lot more than today's ppl get).
Now, that McD, along with the fields, and the local construction, hires loads of illegal aliens from what I hear. I was surprised since it is so lily white, but what better place to hide at, esp. when ICE has so few ppl and are going to where the majority are.
Considering that I am married to an India, not very likely.,
The real issue is that ppl are ignoring facts because they are afraid of being called racists by ppl like you.br.
As a person that has worked with Target and Home Depot, I can tell you that things are NOT what they appear.
Seriously, I will put money down that they had outsourced to India and was running Windows.
This is no different than the companies in the west that are being cracked over and over.
Nearly all of them had switched to Indian based outsourcing with the previous 2 years.
With most of that, it was having the Indians monitor the production environment and admin it.
Home Depot; Target; Neiman Marcus; DSW; etc. etc. etc. All had switched to Indian outsourcing within the previous 2 years.
And in each case, they were hiring ppl that were paid less than $10K / year. And how is India's best friend? RUSSIA.
To be fair, I would not blame the Indians for this. I blame the companies that will switch when it is so obvious that this low of pay difference makes it TRIVIAL to buy off any of the workers.

I love how France raids American businesses, but ignores French and European Businesses.

If they will build it in America, my gut feeling says that the military will start buying these in large quantities.

China is now bleeding apple dry for technology. They did the same with GM, GE, Westinghouse, etc.
ppl like gates and Welch, immelt, fiorina, romety, etc would actually help America. problem is, that they will be the most protected ppl going.

Damn phone corrections. Pretty funny though.
Actually, SpaceX has 2 more tests for it, and they are ready:
1), the in-flight abort test.
2) sending the dragon to space on its own.
IOW, not much is left for the first manned spaceX flight.
