UBI would allow the govt. to do away with other programs...welfare, food stamps, etc., etc. That would actually offset a lot of the cost because the administration of all of those other programs would go away. Everyone gets a check...same amount, no fuss, no muss.
As a conservative who doesn't believe in giving participation awards, my initial reaction to UBI was that it would just be another welfare state program. But after reading more, I believe it may have merit, and needs to be tested. Especially with the inevitable automation of nearly everyone's jobs...maybe not in my lifetime but certainly in my kids.
"Why does a tie imply professionalism? Why not focus on how efficient your employees are and the accomplishments of your company instead of associating it with arbitrary fashion? This applies to your customers as well."
The customer is always right. They get to vote with their wallet or feet, and don't have to be professional.
1. Dress codes (outside of safety) have little to do with working hard and more to do with enforcing unnecessary conformity.
If you're an employee who deals with customers then suck it up. Your employer has every right to demand you dress appropriately, else you could be costing them business. Don't like it?...gtfo. Our office has a business casual dress code...don't come in wearing shorts or flip flops. If you want to be a slob, go somewhere else.
I've also had occasion to ask HR to talk to a female employee about her exposing a bit too much...every day. I'm no Puritan, but sheesh, the office isn't a place to share your cleavage, or wear skirts that expose your panties.
Um, their membership fees are a drop in the bucket compared with the amount of stuff people buy annually. That doesn't begin to cover corporate overhead.

Looking at just about any sport I can think of, I can point to equipment improvements in nearly every one of them over my adult life. If you don't think those improvements should be patent-able, then you probably just don't believe in patents. Sure, many patents are absurd, but to claim all are is just as ridiculous.
Why not? Is the research into the aerodynamic characteristics of a golf ball more or less worthy than the research into the hydrodynamic characteristics of a blood vessel stent? For that matter, someone who keeps active as a golfer is likely to be healthier longer than someone who is sedentary and requires drugs and other medical interventions to live. Certainly you'd agree that the sporting goods companies have done more good for public health than Martin Shkreli ever did as CEO of a drug company.
Research is research, and the law says that inventors can profit from their inventions. I'm sorry you don't like that.
You're seriously trying to argue that golf ball aerodynamics is as important as a life saving device? It's not like golfers would quit if they only had shitty balls to play with, so your point about being active is pointless. Please point to any sporting goods company that has done good for public health when it wasn't simply in their financial interest to do so. As for Shkreli, that jackass can burn in hell.
Golf balls. Someone actually designs the things? What an awful way to spend your life.
My dad used to design boxes. At least they were specialized to hold automotive parts, so they weren't just cardboard cubes. Ford and GM would send him a part...he'd create a box for it. You'd be amazed how many patents there are...he had a few.
The claim that 3 planes could be landing at once is only valid if the winds are cooperating...you don't land with a tailwind. With any serious wind, you've now limited everything to a single queue because the planes will all need to go single file into the wind.
Except that there have been numerous cases of the U.S. seizing assets of foreign governments. They've done so with Iran, Russia, and others. Do you really think they'd be afraid to do so with Ethiopia?
Italian prosecutors wanted the four Marines to stand trial in Italy, but an Italian court recognized that North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) treaties gave jurisdiction to U.S. military courts.
What the parent said, and if you're not tailoring your resume to the requisition, you're doing it wrong. Also, don't be afraid to apply to positions where you don't meet all of the qualifications...especially in large companies where HR often takes a template format and puts shit in that the actual hiring manager doesn't care too much about, or are just "wish list" certs for the perfect candidate...in the end, I'm going to hire the best I can get, but I do have to hire reasonably quickly to meet my schedules, and if all I can get is someone with half of the wish list, well, that's all I get.
Don't buy whatever the hell you want. But don't come back whining about not getting work. As a hiring manager, I pick the best from the resumes that come my way. And I do care about my team's and their quality of life when it comes to normal work hours. So, take your crybaby attitude right to the unemployment line.
Code that meets the actual requirements, securely, w/o memory leaks everywhere, and doesn't have to be rewritten because some dumbshit took shortcuts, or didn't know wtf he was doing.

Increase your next babys birth weight with this one easy trick.
Seems like an odd thing for an SJW to say.
"A nuclear shutdown presumably also leads to both job losses and fear, which may be factors."
If this were a factor, we could then blame Hollywood for low birth weight.
We could certainly blame Hollywood for the increase in density between the ears of all Americans.

Billions? Membership fee revenue climbed 3.6% to $603 million

Profit != Corporate overhead
Their membership is over 85 million globally. Membership fee revenue climbed 3.6% to $603 million
Oh, and their profits dropped considerably in '16.
Um, their membership fees are a drop in the bucket compared with the amount of stuff people buy annually. That doesn't begin to cover corporate overhead.

Seriously though, how can a golf ball have 11 patents on it?
Let me help you with that.

A change in our legislation won't do it.
We can write laws until we're blue in the face.
The foreign, sovereign government can tell us to get fucked.
There is no "they," right?
Doh
As someone who didn't vote for either of them, I'll just say you're both idiots.
4-8%, or to put it another way, 1 out of between 12 and 25, doesn't bring the word "rife" to mind.
All this is telling me is that there's a much higher percentage of risk takers in business than in the general population...shocking.
