I like SWTOR, but it is disgusting how they limit core functionality for anyone who is not a subscriber. There are things you absolutely cannot get without paying monthly.
I've been looking at trying Path o Exile. The skill tree is fucking amazing, and the in-game store is almost completely cosmetic. You only have to pay for extra character slots and guild member slots.
The problem is both with physicians and the public. Many physicians finally give in when morons repeatedly demand antibiotics to treat things that shouldn't be treated with antibiotics.
The other problem is the overuse of antibiotics in animal feedstock. Irresponsible livestock growers add it to feed for prophylactic purposes, despite it not being necessary (outside of inhumane conditions, such as mass poultry farms). In the latter case, there would be mass die-offs because of chickens having to live in their own feces due to overcrowding.
Successful enterprises depend on government intervention now because there is no longer any other option available due to the depth of current government intervention.
There were successful enterprises before government intervention on their behalf. Otherwise we'd still be living in caves.
The Bush administration may have okayed them as a Federal vendor, but Bush had nothing to do with them being assigned to complete a task that wasn't signed into law until long after he left office.
I think Bush is an asshole, but this failure can't be laid at his feet.
You can't lay off US government employees in most cases, which means the IT department would do nothing but grow regardless of need. It's also hard to fire the incompetent, which has effects that should be obvious.
Indeed. If they don't leave you any other options, there's nothing hypocritical about receiving something from the government while arguing to change the paradigm.
Personally, I see it as the only way to change things at this point. By having as many people as possible bleed social services dry, there might come a time when it is not possible to sustain the system without making rational, positive changes to it.
The same thing happens in other types of economies, particularly the "Marxist" ones. You might have a job, but good luck buying anything because nothing is available. Think about the broad lines in the old USSR. It doesn't help to have a job if the nation's price controls mean that there's not enough supply to go around.
Additionally, while it would complicate the paperwork to enter into an agreement (for some people, usually those with more than enough money to pay for a lawyer to do the work), it would drastically simplify the dissolution of such a union. The latter tends to be the more contentious under current US law; far more so than is necessary.

If we went to war with China, there would have to be. Otherwise the US would collapse.
You apparently don't know anything about libertarian thought if you believe that to be the case.

You can upgrade companions with astral diamonds. No need to pay anything.
Same with assets. I don't know anyone who pays the outrageous amount required for the profession asset boxes.

No, they won't die from super germs because they aren't in the hospital. Most antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections are contracted in hospitals.
No, that's just the ignorant hearing but not understanding.
No, they contain bactericides, which are not the same thing.
A bactericide is as much an antibiotic as fire is an antibiotic. The difference is in how they kill the microbes.
Many of them are not caused by C. diff., but by MRSA, which is a staph bacteria.

Are you saying the raw cost of silicon isn't important? It's the single largest cost in the production of solar panels.
It's not the EPA that does that, it's usually local enforcement. And yes, it does happen, just not at the behest of the EPA.
The Iraq war was a gigantic subsidy to the oil industry.

The comment didn't say they were. They just rolled all of the taxpayer-funded incentives up in the same blanket.
Umm, yes. 100ml of water plus 10ml of water frozen as ice weighs more than 100ml of water without the 10ml of ice.

Indeed. I'd like to see some corporate death sentences handed down.
Yup. "Fair share" is an ever-moving goalpost. It's invariably used to provoke an emotional reaction, rather than a logical one.

Bah, that should be "bread lines."

If the "general welfare" clause was intended to be interpreted as broadly as you claim here, there would be no need for Constitutional amendments.
