According to the SSA https://www.ssa.gov/budget/FY1... budget page they spent $850 billion in 2013. Even if spending stayed the same that would be 1.7 Trillion in 2 years. This is not including other public assistance programs
Actually I found a better website http://www.usgovernmentspendin... If you add up the Pensions (which the lions share is SSA), Health (Medicare), and Welfare, You get a total spend of 2287.5 billion spent on social welfare programs.
Considering that our total 2015 budget was 3,650.5 billion, that means we spent 62% of our budget on welfare programs. If my math is correct.
Now look at military spending for 2015 and it is 820.2, smaller than either SSA, or Health spending. and only 22% of the budget. If my math is correct
You did not give an exact quote so it is easy to misunderstand. Here is an exact quote
Security. Information that’s required to help keep Windows secure, including info about the Connected User Experience and Telemetry component settings, the Malicious Software Removal Tool, and Windows Defender. This level is available only on Windows 10 Enterprise, Windows 10 Education, Windows 10 Mobile Enterprise, and IoT Core.
My understanding is that "info about the Connected User Experience and Telemetry component settings" is only going to provide info on what settings you chose, so if you chose the security setting, Microsoft will know.
enterprise users can turn off telemetry. Everyone else only gets to set it to basic.
Manage your telemetry settings
You can manage your telemetry settings using the management tools you’re already using, such as Group Policy, MDM, or Windows Provisioning. You can also manually change your settings using Registry Editor. Setting your telemetry levels through a management policy overrides any device-level settings.
You can set your organization’s devices to use 1 of 4 telemetry levels:
Security (only available on Windows 10 Enterprise, Windows 10 Education, and Windows 10 IoT Core (IoT Core) editions)
Basic
Enhanced

If you use Hostgator they still email you your billing portal password every time you change it. I have asked for them to change it or allow an optout, but they have said its a feature.
What right is being denied? The last time I looked the "Bill of Rights" didn't have anything in it about medical care, or marriage, or many other things. However, it does guarantee the free exercise of Religion.
I think the problem is that we believe that everything is a Right, And this is perpetuated by our government
Right to have Internet
Right to have a Cell Phone
Right to get Married
Right to have medical care
Right to have a house
Right to... {insert your special interest here}
These are all made up, they don't exists and are not protected by the constitution. The sooner we accept this the happier we will all be.
You use a dedicated bit of hardware, $240 for a useless fixed config box. I can get a more powerfull laptop that is also silent and can run multiple VM's for the same to less. It also has a built in UPS and wifi that may be able to used as an AP a usb3 to gigabit dongle takes care of the second port."
A laptop that can run multiple vm's for less than $240? I think this is B.S. Also are you running your entire network off that one laptops WiFi? It seems that the only way to wire it into your network would be to get a usb to ethernet adapter since most laptops don't have dual NICs.
I have been running my own router/firewall for years, and I will never go back. Mainly I run it on an old dell desktop I picked up online for $75. I used Untangle as the OS for a couple years, but they don't offer many features in the free version, and their paid version is way too expensive. Then I found Sophos UTM and in there free version they offer everything, just limit the number of devices to 50. So far I have had no problem with that limit. I am really happy with the performance even on my old desktop. I will probably upgrade it to use newer, more power conserving hardware, but that is not a huge priority because power is cheap when I am.
For wireless I run a couple of access points around the house and I have never had any problems.
I actually want Windows 10, and have tried to install it several times, but when the installer boots it says the resolution of my monitor (1280 x 1024) is not supported. Microsoft, please fix this so I can use your software.
Have you actually been to Utah? I live here and have lived here for 15 years. Almost everything you said is false.
But it is full of Mormons
Utah is about 62% Mormon, but that is mostly in Utah county. SLC I would say is more like 40%
and the Beer Sucks
I have no idea about this, but I see a sorts of alcoholic drinks in stores and restaurants. In fact I have a friend that works for Backcountry and he says they hand out beer to everyone several times a day to celebrate wins.
SLC also gets China levels of smog
SLC does get inversion, but it is no where near China levels. However this even happened when the area was inhabited by Native Americans. https://www.ksl.com/?sid=23668... "Utah were between 60 and 80 micrograms". "Hong Kong measures 152 micrograms"
Everything is closed on a Sunday or after 8PM
I wish, but this is far from true. Very little is closed on Sunday, and my wife and I often go out to eat well after 8PM
The traffic is also VERY bad, I-15 comes to a complete halt everyday at about 8 AM and 4 PM
Traffic is not so bad unless you are in a construction zone and for obvious reasons it is worse. I live in Utah county and I can't remember the last time traffic stopped. When I travel up north it gets worse, but currently the only time traffic stops is at Point of the Mountain where they are widening the road.
Good Mexican food there is Taco Bell
False, Mexican food is probably my favorite style of food. Utah has some really good Mexican Restaurants like Cafe Rio, El Azteca, Brassas Mexican Grill and more. I have never been to Taco Bell since I have lived here.
The company I work for has had to start hiring H1B workers because there are not enough skilled local workers. Please move to Utah if you are one of those unemployed technology workers.
There is a huge body of evidence that shows a hell of a lot of police abuse their powers and violate peoples constitutional and legal rights all the time just for the hell of it. Not addressing this aspect of policing escalates the problem.
I am still waiting for V2 of the XBone before I even consider buying one. In the past the V2 of the xbox has made it smaller, cooler, and much more stable. I skipped all the red ring of death stuff on the 360 because I was willing to wait.
Apple usually drops support for hardware after a few years (currently 6 years). If you look at the current OSX system requirements it says it only supports 2009 macs and above

On the flip side Windows 10 will install on much older machines, and in some cases will run faster on a Mac then OSX http://www.theinquirer.net/inq...

According to http://www.reuters.com/article... the iraq war has cost roughly 2 Trillion. So the GP is correct.
