That's why right wingers should stop bitching about taxes and social spending. You have your boot heel on the necks of the proles for too long, they'll decide to come for yours.
It's not "single payer". Itâ(TM)s 48% of taxpayers paying for everyone. At least call it what it is.
Sure: elitist bullshit. Pretending that the poor don't pay sales, property and most importantly payroll taxes (which are automatically deducted for health care) is engaging in sophistry.
There is more than enough work to give every person a job, automation or no automation. Fixing America's existing, crumbling infrastructure alone would create millions of jobs. Rolling out a high-speed rail network would create millions more. As would putting up windmills and solar panels all over the place, backed up by pumped storage if need be.
Moreover, this "debate" is like most others - the so-called champions of science have long since abandoned any hope of convincing cultists with facts, reasoning or citations and have learned to just ignore those engaging in willful dumbfuckery
QUITO/LONDON (Reuters) - Ecuador has given citizenship to Julian Assange as part of its efforts to allow the WikiLeaks founder to leave the country's London embassy where he has been holed up for more than five years.
Ecuador made the move hours after the British government refused a request from the South American nation for Assange to be given diplomatic status, which could give him immunity from arrest should he try to leave the embassy.
It doesn't matter what her job was, human beings simply aren't built to focus on mundane actions for hours at a time with no interaction. Expecting otherwise is another Uber penny pinching fail.
1) Sweden goes to great trouble to get Pirate Bay founder in custody from Cambodia
2) As soon as he arrives in Sweden, Svartholm is held in effective solitary confinement and interrogated for weeks without a lawyer on completely separate charges for Denmark. People have falsely confessed to murders they didn't commit in far less time.
3) As soon as Svartholm's sentence in Sweden is finished, he was handed over to Danish authorities to be tried in that country for the aforementioned separate charges.
So Assange haters should feel free to stop gaslighting people at any time. The man has perfectly valid fears about the Swedish farce being a pretext to hand him over to the United States.
Uber's self-driving division is a hot mess (like the rest of the company) but that's not the fault of the prole trying to make a few bucks an hour. There are large driving courses free of pedestrians that Uber could be using, but it must cost more than the prole, so they decided not to.
The problem with this narrative is that Ecuador just granted Assange citizenship. Not the kind of thing you'd do if you're just trying to evict someone.
If the big thugs are arguing amongst each other directly, they're less concerned about proxy wars and imperialism in places like Latin America. Keep 'em occupied and worried.
The millions and millions of people who have died in your proxy wars or murdered by CIA death squads during the cold war are fascinated by your ideas and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
Sweden agreed to hear him at the Ecuadorian embassy, dropped the charges and now he's only wanted by the brits for jumping bail
Statute of limitations doesn't run out in Sweden until 2020. Assange steps out of embassy, the UK police would be happy to hand him over to Sweden, where he can be interrogated for weeks without a lawyer for Wikileaks activity, because he hasn't been officially charged in the US (as Assange haters keep reminding everyone). Then deported to said US. They've done it before:
And OF COURSE "the guy monitoring the automated car didn't know she was crossing" (or was it a girl, I thought guy when I saw the video but I've heard it reported that was a female). HE/SHE WAS LOOKING AT HIS/HER FUCKING PHONE!
As you would be, if you were driving for hours and hours without having to do anything, and on a road with little traffic. The hating on the human minder is entirely misplaced.
I still remember dumpster-like cabs, waiting for more than an hour for one to arrive, and sightseeing detours that were common before Uber.
All of which you can get with spades with Uber as well. The hate on taxis always seems to be based on anecdotes, confirmation bias, and ignoring the fact that Uber is burning through billions in cash every year. If you were running a taxi business, how easy would you find it to compete with an unlicensed competitor that can afford to lose money for a decade or more? And what do you think will happen to Uber's prices if they manage to drive taxi companies out of business?
Yeah, sounds like when parents get a diagnosis that their child is autistic and blame it on the flu vaccine they had last fall. Correlation, causation, etc.
Isn't "pee-lover" Trump already being investigated?
1) Petty partisan theater. Same reason Clinton and Obama were investigated for blow jobs and Benghazi, and not starting wars in Yugoslavia and Libya without Congressional authorization. Going after stupid shit like Stormy Daniels, not real shit like all the businesses Trump started in Saudi Arabia while running for president and then giving them a huge weapons deal.
2) Salve for butthurt Democrats who nominated the worst candidate in history. Also to keep their base compliant and distracted, so the corrupt assholes responsible for Trump in the first place can stay in control of the party.
3) Psyop to get the public on the side of confronting Russia. Same as the propaganda about Saddam planning 911 and having WMD's. Dick Cheney must be kicking himself these days, though. He went through all the trouble of having Colin Powell present fake evidence to the U.N., but who knew he could go make assertions to the press without any evidence whatsoever, and people would just eat that shit up with a spoon?
Hilary was already investigated. For years, and nothing.
Because her name was Hillary Clinton, and the aforementioned bipartisan immunity for crimes committed by high level officials.. If her name was Hillary Smith, an unconnected bureaucrat who mishandled classified information and then committed obstruction of justice on top by destroying evidence, she'd be serving an effective life sentence. That Hillbots continued to excuse her unsecured, unauthorized email server after a sailor was sent to prison for taking half a dozen unauthorized selfies on an unsecured phone shows the capacity for people to be partisan hacks. Really, really, really stupid partisan hacks.
So you're saying that Trump gave ISIS the location of Russian generals? That's a novel conspiracy theory.
The U.S. has been in Iraq and Afghanistan for over 15 years, and other countries almost as long. How many U.S. generals has Al Queda/ISIS/Taliban been able to magically target with mortars.
You either don't understand the word "literal" or you read waaaaay too much Russian propaganda.
This is hilarious. Russia literally invades and annexes part of another country and a fig leaf of a referendum is all you need to give them the thumbs up.
Insert Luke picture here because everything you just said is false. Russia had an existing base in Crimea - if moving troops through there is an invasion then the United States invades 30 or so locations in Germany alone every year. And repeating myself since you skipped it the first time:
How is is totally legit for the U.S. to overthrow the elected government of Ukraine, yet totally illegitimate for Russia to accept Crimea's vote to be annexed.
The call about dropping the sanctions was on Dec 29th.
Distinction without a difference. Did you read your own link or even it's title?
Presumably, a delay would have enabled a new Trump administration to veto the Security Council's condemnation of Israel. Flynn made the call to the Russian ambassador and stated the administration's case. On Dec. 23 (after a one-day postponement of the vote), the Russian ambassador called Flynn back and basically said nice try, but nyet, Russia wouldn't be succumbing to the wishes of Team Trump. The resolution passed later that day, with Russia voting in favor of it, and with the Obama administration declining to veto the resolution and abstaining from the vote.
Flynn was in contact with the Russians about a UN vote in exchange for sanctions. That he talked to them a week later does....what to change that fact?
Sanctions that are still complete bullshit. If the USSR had overthrown the government of Canada and immediately started brining the junta into the Warsaw Pact, it's not as though the U.S. would sit around with its thumb up its ass. And if the USSR then slapped America with sanctions for any response would be the cherry on top your BS sundae.
Regardless of his involvement or not, it's hard to argue that Trump and Brexit have not done that. And it appears Russia was involved in trying to get the far right elected in France too, which would have had a similar effect.
So now Putin is not only responsible for Trump, but Brexit as well? Don't forget the poop in the hallway. As for France, their own intelligence agency debunked that conspiracy theory as soon as it happened, but that doesn't stop it from lumbering on with the rest of the Russiagate zombies.
Doesn't matter if you think Trump and/or Brexit are good things, what is undeniable is that they have created great turmoil and weakened relations between former allies.
Still not seeing any evidence for Russiagate or an explanation for any of its plot holes. People have been warning about the problems posed by the EU for decades and they don't have anything to do with a country that has a smaller economy than austerity-crushed Spain.
discourse in the US is now incredibly divisive and angry, far more so than before
Ah yes, the most amorphous pillar of Russiagate: they're "trying to sow discord". The problem with that little chestnut is: why would they need to? Did Russiagate come with some amnesia pills to make people forget about how the right wing completely lost their minds on the Clinton's the 90's? The Bush Administration running around smearing anyone who wasn't totally supportive of the Iraq invasion, or supporting gay marriage bans across the country? The Birthers who believe to this day that Obama is a muslim born in Kenya? The butthurt Democrats who call Trump a fascist who wants to be a dictator?
May as well accuse Russia of throwing a cup of gasoline on an already raging forest fire. You'd think people's bullshit detectors would go off when Russia is even accused of being behind Black Lives Matter protests, because black people didn't know they lived in a murderous police state before being told.
For dullards, maybe. Hillary isn't going to be prosecuted by Trump's DOJ for the same reason Bill's DOJ dropped the Iran Contra investigation: to continue the de facto immunity to high crimes and misdemeanors. If an administration of either party started upholding the law to politicians, the deep state, and the military-industrial complex, the bubble propping up the American Empire might just pop. Trump sends Hillary to prison for mishandling classified information, Corporate Cory or Kamela "slave labor" Harris might actually prosecute Trump for his warmongering or corrupt weapons deals.
Throwing Obama into Michigan at the last second like that is evidence of "Oh fucking SHIT!!!" at the highest levels of the Democratic Party.
Sure was, but isn't that last minute panic evidence that Hillary did not target those states?
Yes, she was that bad of a candidate.
Easily the worst of all time, as she lost to Trump. Speaking of Obama, he every-so-politely called Hillary out for her lazy hubris after the election:
"You know, I won Iowa not because the demographics dictated that I would win Iowa. It was because I spent 87 days going to every small town and fair and fish fry and VFW hall, and there were some counties where I might have lost, but maybe I lost by 20 points instead of 50 points," Obama said.
2016 was Hillary's election to lose, right up until she lost it. Had to work hard to do it, too.

Uber plowed into a pedestrian at full speed on a well lit road, whereas this driver ignored six seconds of warnings to take control.
FTFY. Money accumulated != money earned.

Non sequitur. If Ecuador just wanted to show Assange the door, they wouldn't have just granted him citizenship.
Uber's self-driving division is a hot mess (like the rest of the company) but that's not the fault of the prole trying to make a few bucks an hour. There are large driving courses free of pedestrians that Uber could be using, but it must cost more than the prole, so they decided not to.
If you're still that ignorant of the situation at this point in time, there's literally no hope for you.
