The people here are against government interference in our lives. We want liberty and freedom. We don't want government welfare (from government schools to corporate welfare, though many people support charity when it's not forced via government violence), taxes, social security, vehicular registration, drug criminalization laws, drivers licenses, government involvement in private relations ie marriage, copy"right", and so on. If there is no violence, actual threat, coercion, or fraud there should be no crime.
You don't really want that. If you did, you would move to any number of countries with no effective government. Somalia, for example.
What you are asking for is to be fucked over by the wealthy, with no government to protect you. Good luck!
Your only power is your vote, not a letter nor an email nor a text nor a post nor a tweet.
You really live up to your username ("dumb"), don't you! Do you think that any politician cares about people who don't vote? The people who don't vote are the sheep of the sheeple.
Instead, vote for a third party, or write in a name of a politician that you respect. It sends a message; perhaps a small message, but better than none.
It is not known what information intelligence officials were looking for, only that they wanted Yahoo to search for a set of characters. That could mean a phrase in an email or an attachment, said the sources, who did not want to be identified.
That is a request that is so obviously unconstitutional.
But, perhaps, we should consider why Yahoo acquiesced. Perhaps when the NSA was wiretapping those connections between datacenters, they discovered something that could be used to blackmail Yahoo, or its CEO, or both.
I wonder if, retrospectively, people will consider her the worst CEO ever, taking the crown from Ballmer?
She has merely fiddled while Rome burns. Upsetting the employees, making small acquisitions that did not add anything of value to the company's portfolio, took no bold moves, nothing.
As I have said before, the board could have put a monkey in her office and been hundreds of millions of dollars better off at this point.
Read a transcript of the interview. He explicitly said that he could not name the former president of Mexico. There are lots of foreign leaders he could have said he admired.
I'm sorry, but if you have a "brain fart" on a foreign policy question, learning the names of a few foreign leaders is something that you obviously need to do. It's not being slow on your feet, it's being stupid about your preparation.
As for comparing him to George Bush, that's such a low bar that it says nothing about his intelligence.
He donates to his own foundation to get tax breaks
Actually, you are wrong here. There isn't any evidence that he has donated to his foundation for many years. After all, if you don't pay any tax, there is no tax break to be had from donations!
Instead, he has used other people's donations for his own benefit. Either settling various allegations, or buying large self-portraits.
Any loans Trump made to his campaign have been repaid. At this point, he is the first presidential candidate to actually profit from his campaign.
Apart from all the simple-minded stupidity that Libertarian beliefs entail, are you really going to vote for someone who doesn't know or can't remember what Aleppo is, nor name any foreign leader?
Whatever your beliefs on Libertarianism, Johnson isn't credible as a presidential candidate.
I'm guessing the IRS didn't get a single Rupee from this employee, nor the employer's contribution in payroll taxes.
I would guess that someone at GGP's company knowingly set up a shady (and possibly illegal) deal to employ cheap labor. Lower down the hierarchy, they don't realize the illegality. The illegality is why they can't actually hire any of these "good" H1-B holders, but it's not because the illegality is limited to the H1-B holder or the contracting companies.
they will report to the government that he didn't actually work in the US. We found out later that they were paying them in Rupee in India. Loopholes are for the dishonest and greedy.
I am struggling to see the illegality here, apart from the rate at which the worker was being paid. The fact that he was paid in Rupees? So what? As long as the relevant taxes are paid, there is no issue. In fact, it appears that the illegality was committed by the contracting agency and they have more to fear from it being reported to the government.
It's quite common for employers to keep H1-B employees from looking elsewhere by lying. They bluff, as I suspect they are doing in the example you cite. Perhaps your company should talk to an immigration attorney?
The really gold standard of stupidity is that some Trump supporters think that there is a sizeable population of 1%-ers who are quaking in their boots at the thought of a Trump presidency.
These dumbfucks actually think that Trump will bring about change that will be against the desires of the wealthy.
After the alert mechanism was misused in my state for an Amber alert for an incident hundreds of miles away, I turned these alerts off.
I suspect more people would turn them off if they knew how (it's not obvious on Android -- used to be in settings, but then moved into the messaging app).
They could probably have put a monkey into the office instead of Mayer, and be in the same position. Maybe even better because Yahoo would not have made all those failed acquisitions.
It's not even that she laid out some grand strategy or attempted some potentially groundbreaking acquisitions. There has been no vision, no risk-taking, nothing. Her only strategy appears to be to deploy employee-unfriendly policies, while benefiting from special arrangements for her personal life.
I doubt it. Shat this says to me is that Apple is getting desperate to sell the watch and is offering a heavy subsidy to Aetna to make this deal happen.
Anyone who deals with such placement knows that you get a flood of obviously fake, misleading, and just plain silly applications from certain Asian countries
Advertise a job in Silicon Valley and you will get lots of applications from ethnically Asian people who are local and either have green cards or are citizens. There is no reason to assume that this issue is in any way related to foreign applicants (who can be legitimately discriminated against).

Go to 1:01:10 to see what fat (a tallow candle) can do to wood with enough velocity.
Alternate translation: "We have a system, but it is not exactly like the description in some unimportant manner"
Or, given the delay in issuing this non-denial, it could mean that it existed yesterday but not today.

But, she is set for life, financially.
The US tried an incompetent fool before: George Bush. It didn't work out so well.
Personally, I am not voting for Clinton. Instead, I am going to write in Bernie Sanders.

Also, it's going to show that he have given nothing (or almost nothing) to charitable causes.

Yes, because no one has ever pushed a malicious ad into an ad network and got the ads published on big-name sites.
Everyone knows that AV detection rates are all less than 100%.
If the pharmacist can't substitute the Adrenaclick for an EpiPen, then EpiPen isn't generic.

The board were just acting like the original Yahoos (from Gulliver's travels).

I have an HP Multifunction that works great and is cheap. On the other hand, it is only used for scanning, so HP has made a loss on the sale.
This promotes the notion that you should never install updates. That's a really bad lesson.
