Oh, you mean like Obama telling Romney that he was wrong about the Russians just five years ago? Glad you guys have finally come around. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Interesting, because the administration just got the UN to vote 15-0 on sanctions against NK. He also signed the VA reform bill. While the Obama administration did squat to help the veterans hospital crisis. Have you checked your 401k lately, oh the horror...he's been terrible for the US. Even CNN acknowledges that he's been successful against ISIS.
Are they getting some shit wrong, yes. Net neutrality, climate change, etc.
Is he a jackass, absolutely (and no, I didn't vote for him). But then so are you with your hyperbole.
For all you big government fans, here's evidence that the government isn't here to help you. No, in fact, it just came in your mouth, and you continue to thank it for doing so.
We need term limits, and we need to get the money (lobbyists) out of action.
Unsafe? Meaning what exactly? Are they in some kind of danger? Maybe they'd get a paper cut from the memo? Other people have opinions, and often opinions that you will think are bullshit. That in no way should make you or anyone else feel unsafe unless they are in a position of power over you, or somehow acting on those opinions in a physically unsafe manner. Do you seriously feel unsafe in the office, but not while driving to work every day, while next to the jackass texting on his phone?...that's fucking UNSAFE. This is not.
Unless he was in a position of power with those coworkers, there's no grounds for worry. This is nothing but an excuse to make the drama go away. Google doesn't want to have this conversation, and while it's happening on their dime, it probably should be a national discussion.
They'll be fine, just buy them some flowers and chocolate. But mind you, they'll never forget any perceived slight, and everything will always be your fault.
Thank you. I am not a liberal, though some conservatives would call me a "RINO" due to some positions I hold on social issues (Eff them, but that's another conversation). I think you hit the nail on the head, and many of my peers would agree, but can't speak out freely on the topic.
Funny, we just got the UN to apply sanctions on a 15-0 vote against NK, cutting off 2/3 of their exports. Are you displeased with that too? What more would you like us to do? So, just because you hate Trump (I'm not a fan either), doesn't mean you need to get all whiny about him taking vacation while Congress is out on recess for the entire month.
I made no such statement, particularly in this instance because I'm not familiar with it other than through this article. I made a general case comment. OEM manufacturers don't steal or borrow. The military sends them back to the OEM for this kind of work. Get it? Okay?
Old aircraft are often retrofitted to make use of newer technology, saving a lot of budget vs. creating an entirely new aircraft. I've seen testing periods that lasted weeks.
FWIW, I spent six years in Korea. Everything was done to the minimum standard to make a sale. There was a complete lack of anything like OSHA...some here would call it a libertarian dream (and I say this as a small govt advocate), so there were plenty of accidents, and building collapses, and other things that occurred due to a lack of regulatory control. Note that in spite of all these negative items, I enjoyed my time there.
When Hyundai first arrived in the U.S. back ~86, the cars were complete crap, but people bought them cuz they were cheap...my first in Korea was a new, loaded '85 Hyundai Excel for $4625! And, it was a total piece of shit. Hyundai quickly discovered their vehicles weren't selling once folks discovered how bad they were, so quality improved, but without any safety improvements. It took years and a lot of pressure to fix that.
Some other memories I have of my time there...
Typical new homes didn't have 3 pronged outlets until the 90s, and when they did, they were quite literally miswired. I examined my own with one of those outlet testers, and found them wired every which way.
I tried to have some copies made of my door key at a local shop. When the vendor handed me the new key, I took one look at it, and realized she'd used the wrong blank to make it...you wouldn't be able to even stick it in the hole. In spite of me showing her the difference, she kept insisting that I try it.
Pharmacies act as virtual doctors, and can sell you all kinds of things you couldn't get here, no prescription required.
If you need anything from a government office, you can be expected to pay some graft if you want it done in any kind of reasonable time.
Yeah, I've occasionally seen these (though I honestly don't recall the last time) in the U.S. The difference being that here it's the exception, not the rule.
I'm not talking about multistory apartments. I'm talking residential homes with coax strung everywhere. Between that, power & phone lines, it looked like hell, but it was effective.
Sure, if you don't mind the cable being tossed from rooftop to rooftop, not minding the eyesore. It's easy to do when the houses are mostly butted up next to each other.
While I generally agree with you, because I think it's important to be able to trust your employees, I think you'll have a difficult time finding anyone who hasn't been at least a little deceptive in an interview or elsewhere. 100% truth just doesn't happen. I hate being lied to, and take note of those I catch in it, but also realize that I'm being hypocritical because I'm also not always 100% honest. You don't even get that between spouses.
Because we're spending our tax dollars, we should be investing them in our own economy as much as possible. If you're spending tax dollars overseas, and at the same time having to pay unemployment to people capable of doing that work, then you're doing it wrong.

Maybe you'd like to read the https://www.un.org/disarmament...
But don't let the facts get in the way of you're bashing of the U.S.
Do you have any idea how mountainous it is? Nukes don't go through mountains, so you'd have to drop a hell of a lot of them.

"...not because of loud-mouth douchebags with baseless opinions."
We won't hold that against you.

All he has to do is identify as a trans-trans-gender :)
I suppose, at the end, it'll be for the courts to decide:

More likely, Google will pay him off to avoid the public scrutiny of a court case.

Damn, I'm going to have to use 1.21 GW to go back and beat you to this. Bravo sir.

Yeah, I'd be aiming for a Republican city...they have all the hot women.
So, don't move next to a military airport? Got it, check.

Then why does my HR dept demand that I give preference to women and minorities?
