Uh, of course you "still have" bad things that engineers do, but it'd be a lot lot worse without professional engineering bodies that regulate certification, and the social science courses that most (all?) BEng programs mandate. Don't kid yourself.
Please explain the double standard at the heart of A normally chooses A, so a bunch of A think it's a good idea to let B pick.
What I generally find are that the people who complain about stuff are the people who are not where they want to be, and for some reason, they think that a true ideal meritocracy will favor them even though the only people they're really competing against are the people who are favoring trying to make things more fair.
At this point, the civilized world doesn't need to worry about the government coming at them - they need to worry about the multinationals coming at their government. Trade agreements are good in theory. This is the problem. People look at trade agreements between countries. They are more like agreements that companies want to make, with no particular interest in being fair. Citizens tend to have no particular interest in being fair either, favoring what is best locally. Governments *should* in theory be working towards a general contract as we do locally. Compromises that are beneficial. But people vote for governments or vote for weakening the power governments have over the single minded goal of industry.
That requires a metric ton of qualifications. (What does still bought it mean? What article? Actors in an article?)
I mean, I'd think the answer would just be "yes". If you want to own property, you need to put it in your name. Journalists pay the price of being more transparent than pretty much anyone else out there. I don't understand the opposition to it. The easier it is to not be transparent, the easier it is for organizations of people, be it companies or otherwise, with the money to do so.
Reality has never nor will ever be a meritocracy. Sorry buddy. You are where you are in part because of your merit, and in part because of things you have no control over. Join us in reality.
When people complain when things are unfair, that's good. When people complain because trying to make things slightly more fair constitutes being unfair, that's dumb. It's really simple.
That's a strange position to take whether or not you are for or against this. It could be applied to literally any technology, policy, or anything that helps law enforcement solve crimes. Crimes were solved before computers, although I don't think anyone would argue that the cops should just get along fine without them.
That's being pretty blind to the miracle cure fake stuff and programs sold in the western world. Homeopathy, vitamin supplements, etc.. it's all the same crap, just named and marketed in culturally compatible ways.
> But there are people who feel that it's not a problem or worse, that it's some sort of divine mandate to have as many children as they possibly can
Yeah, they make TV shows about those folks, and they're by and large Christian. You know, the dominant religion in the states that's against birth control, abortion, and just voted in the President?
So that man *is* beholden to businesses! His own? Except, he'll make all the right policy decisions because his businesses are well meaning competitors who like to fight fair, not the wrong policies decisions that career politicians do for big businesses?
The mental gymnastics are impressive. I'm investing in straws.
Or just the opportunity for nitpicking. The idea of a perfect democracy is stupid. Nobody wants the tyranny of the majority. Representative democracies are good, so long as money is kept out of the advertising equation. This is where the US has a problem.
I chose not to be a billionaire because I didn't want to put in the kind of effort, dedication, and in these times, stoop as low as one needs to acquire such a fortune.

Yeah, but some more than others. Like in Trump's case, way way way more.
Surely you didn't just look up countries by population, right?
Oh, of course you did.
*facepalm*

That's adorable that you think that.

Honestly, if you're keeping shit on your phone that can send you to prison you're too stupid to live.
And there we go. The just world mentality rears its ugly head.
People are stupid.
Yeah - usually the people who think they are smarter than everyone else.

Because the type of people who read Breitbart are the type of people that would wouldn't bat an eye at getting their news from their Facebook feed.

Hey look, the onion wrote an article about you: http://www.theonion.com/articl...
This Kool-Aid is delicious! Let's have more of it!
A fact is not half true. There are votes, there are a record of them, and that number is known.
Jesus. "A half true fact." On a fucking technology and science website.
The date 11/11 is like sticks, and there's basically a term for single guys in China like .. stick man or something similar.

Who are you speaking to about foreign policy, Trump?
"‘I’m speaking with myself, I have a very good brain’." - Trump
Between who would hire experts to make proper decisions and who thinks he knows the things he doesn't know, I know who I'd side with.

Low information voters for the win!
