No, just because you've read about a few jackasses in the news, tv or interweb, doesn't make it the norm for the vast majority of parents. Those are all busy catching eyeballs to increase revenue with the latest train wreck...it's just not reality. Why do you think we hear stories about some beautiful young getting killed or kidnapped, for weeks, and yet every single day there are multiple murders across the entire country. It's because they're not interested in reporting the actual news, they just want your attention to sell ads.
Funny, I've had no problem supporting the evil bastard before him, or the one before him, or the one before him, going all the way back into the early 70s. I do what I do, not for who's in the office. I do it for my country. And even when I disagree with a president, I hope he/she succeeds, in winning wars, fixing the economy, etc., because if they do, it's good for us all.
How about if you could help fix Social Security, or the screwed up VA Hospitals? You wouldn't work on those because of who's in the WH? If that's the case, you're just a worthless POS.
And people wonder why government contractors charge so much. The amount of compliance related stuff we do is amazing, and god forbid you fuck it up because you can be banned from future proposals...more likely just fined, and I'm not talking slap on the wrist. It's also why most small businesses can't afford to be the prime on a large contract. They need to team up with a large experienced contracting company just to get their foot in the door.
Most recent RFPs that I'm seeing already include a carve out for small business to get a percentage of the work. Which is why my company is teaming with about a dozen of them on an upcoming effort. No, you're not likely to be the prime on a major contract until you've got history, because that's taken into consideration in awarding the contracts...you need to show that you've got a track record. It's kinda like graduating from college and getting your foot in the door the first time. It's much easier the next.
So, if you had the opportunity to help fix social security, or the VA hospitals, or make government more cost efficient, you would say no just because of who's in the White House? Got it, you're a piece of shit.
So, the economy != the stock market. And, the stock market has been on a rocket sled upward since Trump won the election, but as with all bull markets, there come corrections, and you have no evidence that this is anything but one of those. And, the S&P 500 is still up Year To Date...the "Stockmarket" (sic) is != to the Dow 30.
So, you're attempting to color all contractors with what these individuals did? And btw, Manning wasn't a contractor. Are there shitty contractors?...sure. You think we could do the job w/o them?...you're delusional.
Sure, as if it's not hard enough to find talent. You think these companies are going to collaborate on who worked for the government? Hell, most of them already have government contracts.
Except that the economy of pre-2007 was a well known bubble, and beside the point that I was refuting with the GP. 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.
Weren't you already tracked when you handed over your passport to the TSA agent? What's the difference if the ID you with facial recognition? Either way, you're geolocated to that place and time. Don't they need to check people to see if they happen to be who they say they are, or would you prefer that they just let anyone board?
I have Global Entry (GE), and am a 60 yr old white male. Coming back from a recent vacation to Iceland and Norway, I was "identified" by TSA for additional screening in Reykjavick, taken into a back room, patted down, etc. Note that Iceland Air doesn't participate in TSA Pre, and when identified, I handed them my Global Entry card, and that was also of no help. Don't get me wrong, I love skipping the line when getting back here...GE has saved me hours of wait time. You do also get TSA-Pre on international flights, but only with participating airlines, and you'll likely need to notify that airline that you have GE...they won't know unless you tell them. I just put it on all of my frequent flyer profiles.
I was curious how they determined the number of pollution related deaths...
Zhang, West and colleagues analyzed concentrations of two pollutants, known as PM2.5 and ozone, from a 21-year computer simulation of air pollution across the U.S. PM2.5 are very small particles suspended in the air that come from power plants, motor vehicles, industries, and some commercial and residential sources
They then related the declining concentrations of PM2.5 and ozone to the geographical areas in which people live and the causes of death in those areas, using data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, to estimate deaths from air pollution during the period. They estimated deaths from ischemic heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lung cancer and stroke related to PM2.5, and from respiratory disease for ozone..
Interesting, but I'd be looking for some validation of this before pointing to it a fact. I've seen too many simulations, and estimations (both used above) that ended up being garbage in, garbage out.
Mandatory promotions? Oh noez!!! What if people *want* to stay dead-end code monkeys their entire career, until they are fired at age 35? What about *those* people?
If you know any "code monkey" that was fired at 35 (not during the recession), then you know someone who couldn't code their way out of a Hello World.
Who TF still answers unknown or blocked phone-numbers nowadays?
Anyone who has parents that they're caring for in a nursing home, or hospital does. I get calls all the time from people I don't know, about various issues with my mom. And while you probably don't give a damn, the vast majority of people over 50 aren't using Whatsapp or messenger. Now, GTFO my lawn.
I have yet to see a human listen to, or intentionally record, a voicemail.
Then you're not paying attention. I get and leave VM frequently. I'm often on conference calls, and can't drop to pick up an incoming call from my disabled mom or mother-in-law, or doctors office, or one of the ~50 people I supervise. I have to clear out my old VM about once a month just to keep it available.
I report repeat offenders, or any of them that just piss me off. All of our numbers have been registered since DNC list first came out. As for Cox (here in VA), they haven't been of any help with my landline, even though I pay them an additional fee to block unwanted calls. I'm going to look into some of the tools mentioned here.

As if voting has made any difference in the past thirty years, at least...
What? It worked just fine keeping HRC out of an office she had no business holding. Not that Donald belongs there.

Yeah, because you clearly need to be a younger white male to be a terrorist

FWIW, I'm 60, white and male...no tattoos, and have a registered Global Entry number, and yet I was recently stopped for extra screening.

Can we start with the Antivaxers, Gluten-Free, and anti-GMO crowd.
Except that manufacturing jobs in the US have been on the rise since 2010...

Sorry, I'm gonna call BS. Your internet toughguy approach isn't going to stop any telemarketer.

Proof right here that the right is full of retards, I guess.
Proof that the left doesn't care about retards! Um.
Proof that there are retards on both sides
So, because you're happy with your current deal, others should just suck up the imbalance? Sorry, leveling the playing field is long overdue.
Well, I suppose that's a fair opinion. I was looking at it from the viewpoint of it being unfair to women, non-heterosexuals, non-Muslims, etc.
