As a tax payer, you don't get to decide what your taxes are spent on, nor does any agency or government official owe you squat for an answer. They may even require you to file a FOIA request to get an answer. Government employees are responsible to those who oversee their agencies...hint: it's not you. You only get to put your $.02 in during elections.
Yes, there's plenty wrong with the federal government, but your lack of understanding it isn't helping you.
The only reason she's at all relevant still is because of the sound bites she supplies the media. They follow her around waiting for these moments. And Trump, by allowing her to do that endorsement of him, showed once again, what a clown he is.
Saying this as a conservative.... Why does anyone give a shit what she says, other than we all like to watch train wreaks, witness the Trump media storm. She's a total embarrassment to the right wing.
So, if Slashdot is going to post this crap, they should give equal time to "Reverend" Al. Both sides have their idiots.
Read the paragraph below. It talks about "use of airspace". That doesn't exclude anything.
The Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration shall develop plans and policy for the use of the navigable airspace and assign by regulation or order the use of the airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient use of airspace. The Administrator may modify or revoke an assignment when required in the public interest.
The Supreme Court has previously ruled on the ownership of airspace above property. When your 3 year old can jump high enough to inhibit the "safety of aircraft", then you should worry. That and your bird comment were both a bit childish.
There is also the small issue that you don't own their airspace above your property
It would seem that case law isn't in agreement. At least SCOTUS has indicated below 83ft is yours, and it ends somewhere at or below 500ft. http://www.slate.com/articles/...
So, if FB decided to filter out pro-Trump commentary, would that not be discrimination against customers? Would it not be similar to say a bakery that decided not to make cakes for gay weddings?
FWIW, I'm not a Trump fan, and haven't made up my own mind on this or the bakery issue.
Again, you stated that they don't control it, when in fact that is false. Your point about it being no different from an insurance company is irrelevant to what you claimed. "Government does not control healthcare for medicare patients".
And, while you may believe private insurance wouldn't be any better, that's at least debatable.
Agreeing with parent here. Six figures in the D.C. metro area will barely get you a decent low level manager in private industry. It's expensive to live/work here. The government needs to at least be somewhat competitive if they actually want someone with a little bit of talent.
You better be including all of the bullshit lawsuits brought by ambulance chasers. Ask any doctor how much they pay for insurance to cover that crap, and it all flows down. We also need to break the Insurance/hospital cartel.
It sure as shit does control medicare patients. My 77 yr old mother has been through numerous surgeries over the last several years, and is in need of more. However, Medicare limits how much time she can spend in rehab after surgery to under 100 days. She's used that up, and has to wait for a cooling off period before re qualifying, in spite of being in dire need of surgery again. It's not the doctors controlling this, it's the fucking government.
There's no such thing as intellectual property. This violates nothing, not even copyright law- when they sue private servers, they use the EULA and the DMCA.
Certainly not in your mind, but in the real world, you know the one with judges, lawyers, etc., they'll gladly remove funds from you to make you suffer for being an IP denier.
Indeed I have been there several times but only to visit relatives (aunt taught at Mass General, and uncle worked at BBN, and MIT Lincon Labs) who've since retired to Oregon. Love the town, and attitude, but my conservative side wouldn't fit well there. We're also likely moving to NC to retire in the next few years...visited several times to check out Asheville, Hickory and Lake Norman.

Sorry, no. You can't request your own mod up, and I'll never waste one on an AC anyway.

Clearly, there's no intelligent life here, so why would aliens care?
So hateful...
Looks about as good as HRC with makeup/facelift.

It would appear that Congress passed a law allowing the FAA to regulate airspace. Is there some part of that you disagree with?

You clearly have zero understanding of the fatality rate for air vs. surface travel. Come back when you learn to google it before posting your BS.

This. She didn't wait on slow government IT. She got stuff done.
Like protecting the embassy. Oh, nevermind.

So, what does the CCIIO do if they're not in charge?

He purchased an early Apple II, and invited me, a high school student, to come over to learn how to use his new toy
Did he give you candy with that?
Not an English major here, but I always thought that only the quoted content belonged within the quotes. The comma isn't part of that. No?

Yes, Clinton sucks
Doubtful, or Bill wouldn't have had all those girlfriends.
Co-sponsored by 6 Republicans and 3 Democrats. Plenty of blame to go around.
