You'll always have a corporate overlord as long as you have capitalism, so why not a reasonably enlightened one?
Not if we properly enforced the anti-trust laws. Monopolistic behavior is not capitalism. And enforcement of that is required to actually have competition, which is one of the primary goals.
I love how people turn a diplomatic request into a "command". What was the U.S. going to do to them if they decided not to comply? Seriously? I remember hearing this kind of crap from my German landlord's kid when I lived there back in the 80s. He seemed to think we wouldn't leave if the Germans didn't want us there. But what happened when de Gaulle asked us to leave? Or the Philippines?
Yeah, we've done some stupid shit invading other countries, but Sweden?
There's a big difference between "Opposing", and violence. Protest all you want, and stop acting like petulant children. It doesn't help your cause, and in fact turns people against you.
Ah, then I consider you lucky as well. The only place I've driven extensively, where people had a clue, was Germany(six years back in the 80-90s). Yes, they drive fast, but they always pass on the left, always use their turn signals, and it's extremely rare that someone does something unexpected, though it got a bit sketchy when the East Germans started showing up. I remember being told that drivers training cost the equivalent of about $1500 back in the '80s.
Try to keep up. You're talking about after the fact. And even then people don't give a shit about learning how the fuck they should be driving. There is no legal requirement for them to know, or be tested upon their knowledge other than the silly exams that just about any preteen could pass. Do you think more than a small percentage of them have a fucking clue? Drivers licenses are handed out like candy in the US, and it shows by how poorly people drive....sitting in the fast lane, talking on their cell phones, putting on makeup, reading papers. Does any of that matter to them? Do a few points matter to them? Not until they're close to losing their license.
I'd be interested to know what cars do this. I'm not aware of any, certainly not any gasoline sports car that one would consider taking to a drag strip, where you typically hold the brake down, and warm up the tires a bit. I know for a fact that it's not true for my Dodge Jeep or BMW.
The reflex reaction to the car lurching forward when you hit the brake is.... hit the brake harder...
But you don't push it to the floor on the first application. And, you most certainly don't get to 100% that the log is showing. There should have been some intermediate number unless they're logging infrequently...it's not an on/off switch.
Having not RTFA, I'm wondering about this 100% reading, and how frequently log entries are made. You don't go from a full stop to 100% normally...the accelerator isn't an on/off switch. No, people don't depress the accelerator to the floor, especially going in reverse. And, even if you thought you had your foot on the brake instead, you wouldn't be attempting max brake pressure w/o some prior motion. It just doesn't seem to add up, in spite of my knee jerk reaction that it's likely driver error.
Your expectation does not match the legal requirements in the U.S. While desirable, too many people just don't give a damn. We should have fixed this situation long ago, but fortunately, we'll be saved in the not too distant future by self driving vehicles.
Some states only require One participant involved to be aware of the recording, in which case this would not be illegal as Facebook is aware of it.
IANAL, but I don't believe this applies to a discussion where the party (FB) doing the recording isn't even known to be a part of the fucking discussion. It would be like me calling my wife, an having someone else listening/recording our phone sex w/o our knowledge.
Hardly insightful, and in fact a baldfaced lie. Here's what you get when you google "bay area unemployment rate" The unemployment rate in San Mateo County was 3 percent, while the unemployment rate in Solano County was 5.6 percent in February. Marin County recorded the second lowest rate among Bay Area counties at 3.2 percent, followed by San Francisco County at 3.3 percent, employment officials said.
"Oh please!", and hyperbole, does not make you correct. Nor does the fact that the few who are, get the majority of media attention because otherwise it's not "newsworthy". There certainly are some, and studies that point it out, but "requirement for the job"?...Oh please!
As a fiscal conservative, my knee jerk reaction to the idea was that people would just be lazy, wanting something for nothing. But the article is thought provoking, and I'd love to see some country or state be the virtual laboratory for some serious experimentation.
Well, now I'm gonna state that I think you're stretching the truth in a few places.
1. I highly doubt that you've ever met "a fair number American political refugees". Let me rephrase that. They were more likely to have committed a crime, and fleeing prosecution, and making the claim that it was for "political" reasons.... http://www.theguardian.com/uk/...
2. Dual citizen or not, Americans abroad have long been required to pay taxes on money earned overseas. Myself included, which I did for over 12 years. It's hardly just taking their money. There's a rather large "Foreign Earned Income" exclusion, which exempts about the first $100k of income. https://www.irs.gov/individual...
3. Renouncing citizenship isn't difficult. What could be an issue for someone is if they're trying to do so to escape debts, taxes owed, or military service. This is from the State Dept's site: E. TAX & MILITARY OBLIGATIONS/NO ESCAPE FROM PROSECUTION Persons who wish to renounce U.S. citizenship should be aware of the fact that renunciation of U.S. citizenship may have no effect whatsoever on his or her U.S. tax or military service obligations (contact the Internal Revenue Service or U.S. Selective Service for more information). In addition, the act of renouncing U.S. citizenship does not allow persons to avoid possible prosecution for crimes which they may have committed in the United States, or escape the repayment of financial obligations previously incurred in the United States or incurred as United States citizens abroad.
It's certainly not a good solution. Where my kid went to school, they sent us a list of class subjects that parents could opt out of for their kids...mostly sexually related. While I didn't opt her out of any, I could certainly see it being stigmatizing having to leave the room in front of the other kids. They need a better method.
Your definition of propaganda is fairly unique. I'm pretty familiar with what it is, having lived in several countries and traveled to dozens more. If you'd like to discuss one other than this, that's fine, but it's what I'm referring to...

Oh stop the bullshit. The investigation is ongoing, which you just admitted. That's a big difference from "The FBI has found "no criminal wrongdoing".

Um, no. Think about what you wrote, and come back when you sober up.

And you have, son? Try not to talk down to people, especially when you don't have all of the facts either.

Rolling into a parking space at 5-10 mph, you are moving about 10 ft/sec.
5-10mph? Maybe straight in, and slamming on the brakes, but parallel?..not a fucking chance. 2 or maybe 3mph if you're in a hurry.
