The laws were created to prevent vote buying and intimidation. If you had to prove to someone how you voted, this would be one way to do so. Making it illegal is the only logical way to prevent that.
True, that that's not the only reason for this. There are potential extinction events that having a plan B would give humanity a chance to continue...think...disease, WWIII, asteroid or super volcano. That said, I'm curious what level of human population is sustainable...it will likely evolve with technological advancements.
We get it, you're anti-capitalistic. So, in the hierarchy of needs, where (or how) do you expect people to get the motivation to build this, especially if they're not given a ticket for the ride? It will take years to build, and those people will need everything that they need right now just to live...how is that "funded"? Should we just call Habitat for Humanity? Sarcasm aside, I'd personally donate time to a project like that, but still gotta pay the bills.
Anecdotally, I've been through two hailstorms that were bad enough for the insurance company to replace the roof on my house. I think my insurance company hates me...the last one cost them over $30k.
My old white '98 Grand Prix looked like a giant golf ball after a hail storm back around '99. The insurance company cut me a check for nearly $2k. In less than a year, all of the dents popped out on their own. You literally could not see a single dent.
Depends. I may turn around and talk with them (I have several bosses, and I'm a low level manager). They might see spreadsheets, documents, or email. Or they might see me surfing/. while I eat breakfast or lunch.
All that said, it simply shouldn't matter, as long as I'm getting the job done, and not abusing the company's surfing policies, or claiming time that I didn't actually work.
As a midwestern transplant to the DC area, I was surprised how unfriendly people in the DC metro area are. Say hello to someone you don't know?...you'll get a look like you've got a third eye on your forehead. I've been here for 35 years, and can't wait to get the hell out when I retire.
You don't just ask people what class they fall in...you'll get inaccurate results. How many "rich" people volunteer in a group of 61?...or even 400.
There are regional and generational differences...the article didn't say if the experiment occurred in just one location or if they experimented in a variety. Or, did they consider the age of the participants.
Also, it's quite possible there's another explanation. There's plenty of prior work showing that more successful people are able to assess things more quickly than less successful. But no, let's jump to the SJW conclusion. Empathy has been shown to be a trait of successful people as well...
Even cheaper is an open office with unassigned seating at less capacity than the workforce total. Since not everyone is in every day, they figure they don't need one desk per one person. You just pack people in at the next available spot.
"Hoteling" has at least already gotten a bad reputation among many major companies that have tried it. I can name several that have experimented with, and given up on it.
The popularity of these among upper management is typically because of cost or control reasons. They're much cheaper than closed offices, and management can walk by to see exactly what you're doing. Typical penny wise & pound foolish mentality. The constant interruptions that occur end up costing them much more in the long run. And if this is how they think they need to see what people are doing, they fail at being managers. It's simple enough to give people tasks with milestones, and monitor their progress. I'm fortunate in that I'm able to work from home periodically. I get much more accomplished there because the only interruptions are from the phone or the doorbell. That said, I don't want to give up the face to face discussions that happen in the break room and hallways at work.
The video is evidence of nothing more than boorish behavior. Something nearly every male I've ever met has been occasionally guilty of. There's nothing in that that's related to any of the women that are accusing him. So again, we're back to is there any actual evidence, or not. So far, you've got nothing.

It already is.

""Self healing" my ass."
Nobody said it was a silver bullet. Get your head out and heal that ass.
"This is why major changes to the fabric of a country are usually required to pass a far higher hurdle than merely 50% of the voters. "
Did it enter the EU with more than 50%? I'm just asking because I'm too lazy to google.
"Blah, blah, blah,...the sky is falling"
The UK was doing just before the EU, and it will be just fine after Brexit.

and that this will occur before a sufficiently large asteroid hits Earth
So, these countries are wasting their money planning to destroy or deflect it then?

You insinuated that they were going up because of the disaster, not simple inflation. There's a difference.
Um, no. My premiums didn't go up after either incident. As for knowing how insurance works, I rely on my kid who did a three yr LDP program at GEICO.
Well, you can multiply that $30k by a couple hundred homes in my neighborhood alone.

How many times is "excessively"?

Those are at pornhub.
Can't be. Kids in the 80s didn't dress like that. And they certainly weren't as dumb as this.
I clicked on his name and saw the photo. He's still wet behind the ears...clearly qualified to be a /. editor.
Was there an orange toupee with it?

Trump wasn't talking about that in the video, and you clearly fail at understanding what the word evidence is.
The video is evidence of nothing more than boorish behavior. Something nearly every male I've ever met has been occasionally guilty of. There's nothing in that that's related to any of the women that are accusing him. So again, we're back to is there any actual evidence, or not. So far, you've got nothing.
