Just a couple of issues there - first, why the telephone typetext html? It makes it less pleasant to read which is obnoxious. Second issue, what would be your solution for someone who buys a house in San Francisco when she starts at a company with a generous salary, but the company goes under in three years? Your requirement that homeowners keep property for at least five years would completely screw her if she couldn't find another well paying job in the area, and quickly.
Harder to change every computer system on the planet, and to remember to change your clocks every couple of months. Dang that would be expensive and annoying.
Good thing that's not what anyone was suggesting, then. Look at the post I was replying to, and how Lowes manages to change their store hours a couple of times per year without changing their clocks or computers.
They could also do it in smaller increments so the change isn't as jarring. Easier to get kids up and to school if there's only a fifteen minute time change every couple of months instead of an hour all at once.
Do any of these candidate propose anything that makes sense like expanding the market supply by building medical schools
Lack of medical schools isn't the problem - the six figure cost in becoming a doctor is. Which blocks the profession off for those who don't have rich parents or a tiny minority that qualify for full ride scholarships. Unless you want to sign up for the military, which may not send you to medical school, but probably will send you off to a war zone to shoot at brown people that have never done a thing to you.
olling back some of the regulations that do nothing but block lower cost solutions
Actually a LOT of the diagnostics, some that are repetitive are there just to CYA the doctors and the insurance companies....due to all the unreasonably litigious society we've become.
Corporatist propaganda. Most medical malpractice is never brought to court, and actual frivolous lawsuits being awarded actual serious money are as rare as spotting Big Food riding the Loch Ness Monster.
The founding fathers were elitist pieces of shit who should have re-written the Constitution after being forced to spend ten years picking cotton with no pay.
the vote for people that had some stake in the out come of the republic.
Anyone living in a republic by definition has a stake in the outcome of said republic.
By giving the vote to everyone the floor has been opened to allow politicians to 'buy' votes by promising to fund exorbitant social programs. Which is what has happened.
Elitist dumbfuckery. Right off the bat, if that was what had happened, the Republican party wouldn't exist, and Bill Clinton would have passed UBI instead of gutting welfare. And it's not like you Randians have any problem with politicians who whore themselves out promising tax cuts for the rich and corporate welfare for corporations who already enjoy billions in profits.
But what is wrong is allowing the recipients of social programs have a say in how these programs managed.
As much as it is wrong to say that you, as a taxpayer, have no business having a say in how those tax dollars are spent.
Like questioning Obama's birth certificate, the facts around voter ID - namely that in person vote fraud is so rare it may as well not exist - have been stated far too many times for anyone to advocate for it without engaging in outright sophistry. Sophistry like rattling off cases that wouldn't have been prevented by requiring an ID in the first place, like fraudulent registrations or ex-cons voting in states that don't allow it.
That Apple has developed an unhealthy Air fetish (minimizing laptop dimensions to the detriment of usability) in no way diminishes the advantages of a magnetically-attaching power cord. The company has more money than God, there's no reason why they can't have a minimalist Air line and a proper Pro line at the same time.
Another name for a hardware device that cuts off a device when the lid is closed is a "switch", and it's hardly innovative, even my 30 year old home furnace has a cutoff switch for when the cover is opened.
Right. Just like it wasn't innovative to have a power cord that attaches magnetically, and easily separates from the laptop when your pet/child/own clumsy ass trips over the cord without sending the computer to the floor, because rice cookers had them over a decade ago. So very obvious that it wasn't innovative - yet only one company thought to try it.
Except that the economy of pre-2007 was a well known bubble
A well known financial bubble. Not one for manufacturing, which has been in steady decline since NAFTA.
An 8+ year increase in manufacturing flat out refutes his statement. The reason that it's a smaller sector is simply because of other sectors growing faster...back at your Lies.
Back at your lies, damned lies and statistics. Picking a Great Recession as your starting point for looking a job numbers in just about any sector of the economy is as dishonest as picking 1998 (a record hot year for record hot years) as a baseline to argue the climate has actually cooled.
That's what entitled westerners tell themselves while arguing poor brown people need to practice eugenics. Because each of you uses dozens the times the amount of resources a person living in a third world country does.
As for a real solution, just end capitalism. That would be a lot easier than betting the farm on some kind of geo-engineering project to trap massive amounts of carbon, or hoping India and Pakistan will trade a few nuclear blows so the resulting nuclear winter can stop the climate methane bomb.
The people that are coming over from Africa to Europe are all selfish dicks too.
You mean people fleeing America's wars? Thanks to Obama, there are literal open-air slave markets in Libya - when it used to have the highest standard of living on the continent. It takes a powerful level of dumbfuckery to turn those kind of refugees into "selfish dicks".
You are exactly the type of shit bag people want to keep out. Thanks for showing your "gimme gimme gimme" attitude. As to the rest of your barely coherent bullshit, if they want peace and prosperity so badly, they can strive for it in their own country and make a difference.
Slight problem: that's all projection, shitbag. Because the problem isn't overpopulation, it's resource consumption. And when each of your entitled western asses are using the same amount of resources as literally dozens of people in third world countries - tell us again who has the "gimme" attitude?
1) Women have a preeeetty good idea who they give birth to. Men - not so much. Before reliable DNA testing, rejecting the idea that you are someone's father when you really don't think you are isn't so unreasonable.
2) It's funny how these "Steve is a dick" anecdotes always seem to go back to the Reagan Administration - or earlier. If the guy was such a ragging shitheel, you'd think he would have give his hate club more material to work with since he went back to Apple in the late 90's.
The idea that a few Twitter trolls and a few thousand dollars had any impact on a $9 billion election is a sign of delusion. No, it's not that Obama was pushing the TPP - which is NAFTA on steroids - at the same time Hillary wasn't bothering to show up in the Rust Belt! It must have been Twitter trolls! And Susan Sarandon!
That was an *open*, and *plainly visible* thing. That is not even remotely the same as people pretending to be real users, genuine citizens, and instead being paid for foreigners, pretending to belong to the country they are trying to destroy.
However you want to rationalize your hypocrisy. You do know that Twitter memes and publicly posted Facebook ads are....wait for it...publicly posted, yes?

Obnoxious, elitist myth with zero basis in reality.
Help them maintain a modicum of human existence and dignity for half-pennies on the corporate dollar. Any more elitist questions?

My spider-wingnut sense is tingling. What regulations are these? Mandated FDA testing that might prevent your pain medication from giving you a heart attack?

Dumb.
Fuck.
Er.
Eee.
Why should my tax dollars cover police and fire protection for your elitist Randian ass?
This is not news. Obama drowned the public option in the bathtub long before any Republican or Bush Dog could vote against it.
Single payer provides better care for less money. It's the fiscally conservative option. So fuck you.
Yeahno. Trump wasn't a part of the establishment, which is why they came up with the the Russiagate BS to jerk him around as needed.

Then insert picture of Inigo Montoya here, because you're using that word, sovereignty, but it doesn't mean whatever it is you think it means.
Just like Hawaii and Puerto Rico have more control over their own affairs as part of the USA than as independent nations, eh?
It was easy enough to understand the first time. Maybe ask a first grader to help you understand it?

Which still isn't LA, which means the people there still have to import their food. It's only a question of distance.
