That's why you don't want a wall...just to let all the aliens in to be on your side. We need a wall now, to protect us from those vacuumbacks, and anchormicrobes!
The "republican base" doesn't give a flying fuck about net neutrality, Certainly some corporate lobbyist donors do, and that's the crux of the problem.
12 years in terms of rules on ISPs? Yes, that is longstanding.
You clearly don't have any idea what Pai is proposing, so maybe you should fucking look it up before speaking out of your ass. I'd expect much more from a 4-digit member here.
Comcast, AT&T, Verizon and the National Cable & Telecommunications Association (NCTA) have spent $572 million on attempts to influence the FCC and other government agencies since 2008.
If you could be bothered to read the article, it explains that the long standing rules are from 2005:
Back in 2005, a small phone company based in North Carolina named Madison River began preventing its subscribers from making phone calls using the internet application Vonage. As Vonage was a competitor in the phone call market, Madison River’s action was obviously anticompetitive. Consumers complained, and the Federal Communications Commission, under Michael Powell, its Republican-appointed chairman, promptly fined the company and forced it to stop blocking Vonage.
That was the moment when “net neutrality” rules went from a mere academic proposal to a part of the United States legal order. On that foundation — an open internet, with no blocking — much of our current internet ecosystem was built.
Because just like the electric company, or the water works, they're acting like public utilities and should be treated as such. There's no competition...they are virtual local monopolies.
I'm with you on wanting to fix it, but want to point out that when a company wants to hire someone, it's a simple matter of writing the requisition to the specific set of skills that that person has. Compliance requirements force us to interview other people, but we can also choose who we interview.
The media is well aware that they can generate revenue by simply putting Trump in the headline of any article because the tribes will come out on both sides to sling curses at each other. It's a sad state of affairs that we're more interested in calling each other idiots instead of focusing on what's in the best interest of our nation. The press doesn't help, and in fact hinders us in that aspect.
The only things they want to take him seriously on are...
The recording of his pussy grabbing comment. Which, while juvenile, is in no way anything more than locker room talk, and hardly evidence of an actual assault.
Any comment against north Korea. Because it creates drama (and thus revenue) when they talk about him bringing us to nuclear war.
And anything else that makes him look bad. Not that he needs a lot of help with that.
I was right there with you until Corporate personhood.
We've allowed corporations the power to wield undue influence in this nation by virtue of the fact that their "voice" (i.e., lobbying ability) far outweighs that of nearly every individual or group of citizens. Our individual votes have become nearly meaningless compared to the power of corporations in our government. That's not "personhood", that's bullshit.
Additionally, if we're going to allow for corporate personhood, then those corporations should also be bound to bare the responsibilities for their actions. There should be no "too big to fail". And executives of those companies should be in jail.
There's a distinct difference between researched data and some guy's internet site, and that's really what it is. But go ahead and claim someone else is ignorant because they choose to look for actual evidence instead of something spewed out of your anus.
You left out sour and umani...that's it when it comes to taste buds. Anything else is based upon smell...which I can tell you from personal experience at having lost my sense of smell for about a month after a serious nose injury, is very important.
"You *can* do it with lifestyle changes. I did it "
Anecdote != evidence.
Congratulations and good for you. We're not all equal. Age, family history, the type of work you do...a lot of factors come into play beside simply exercising and eating right. FWIW, I've been fighting my own demons with this...(really) bad family history, I'm 59 and I sit at a desk 40-50 hrs a week, along with another 10 hrs commuting. I still exercise 2-4 times a week, and do annual half-marathons...but I really need to get more active because the weight keeps ticking up, along with the BP. And, it's not likely to get fixed until I can retire and not sit on my ass all day.
The problem with this "common sense" is that it changes. Your "common sense" is based upon your experience, and isn't common to others. It was once common sense that eggs, liver, salt, and other items were good for you and then later bad for you. Where's the common sense in that? We've been told to cut fat from our diets, only to be told that once again, it's okay. Margarine was supposed to be the good replacement for bad butter...what happened there? The list goes on and on...nuts, bacon, potatoes. milk, red wine, coffee. Please tell us what the common sense is there.

Stop posting shit I disagree with, and you won't have that problem.

Al Gore already claimed credit.
Please stop asking questions in the subject line of your articles. I've seen at least 3 of them today, and the answer is always NO.

Because there are enough people like you who can't spend the 2 minutes it takes to sign, and yet post here complaining about it.

Thanks, I was #78203
Or, you could argue that nobody turns away from watching a train wreck.
Why would it when things are becoming more and more automated?

I said it last year, the scary thing about Trump was not that he may win, it's that he may not have been lying to try and do so.
And while I didn't vote for Trump, the scary thing about Clinton is that she was lying whenever her lips moved, and most of America knew it.
The only things they want to take him seriously on are...
The recording of his pussy grabbing comment. Which, while juvenile, is in no way anything more than locker room talk, and hardly evidence of an actual assault.

You need look no further than the media to determine why Trump didn't spend much. NYT estimated that $2B was spent in free publicity for him.

NIH says " the precise mechanisms linking salt to high blood pressure are unresolved."...feel free to google it.
