No it's far more basic, it's about avoiding paying for anything not just those things considered important.
Pretending that raw amoral greed is "liberty" was a spectacularly good PR move by Koch and all the rest. While there are plenty under that label who are not amoral they are sadly mostly just "useful idiots" for what is really just worship of Corporations under another name.
Here's one of the more interesting ones from an earlier time he said it. http://www.nj.com/politics/ind... According to the article he said he'd file a legal challenge to the 14th Amendment in an effort to revoke citizenship from millions of people born in the U.S. to mothers who arrived in the nation without documentation. So it's not just flag burners he's threatening with exile for defying a wannabe King.
Which US citizen group is he talking about revoking their citizenship?
Those who exercise free speech in a way he doesn't like apparently. Google "trump revoke citizenship" for more about the fallout due to a tweet from that twit.
Just as well you can't be held accountable - that confusion of scale is like comparing a pond ripple to a tsunami. Cocaine ravaged ex-DJs go on like that but do you really want to come across the same way? I don't think you have actual brain damage as an excuse.
If you have stuff in your emails that can sink you or your boss then those are the incredibly stupid ones. Considering how many ex-spooks there are in politics (such as that guy that was running in Utah as an R alternative to Trump) you do not want to put your stuff where someone else can read it without a lot of trouble and then remember it later. If a third party hosting service is asked to give access or gives it freely as a matter of course how are you going to know? If they get hacked like we found out yesterday that Yahoo had what good does it do when you don't find out for three years?
After Watergate it should be obvious that political parties like to get hold of the secrets of other political parties, so from that perspective in what way is outsourcing confidential communications sane?
Trump is a "citizen statesman"? Stop wasting all that money on white nose powder. He's a fucking autocrat and has already been talking about taking US citizenship away from people - he is indeed anathema to the founding of These United States. Back then they would have called him a Royalist.
Yes, yes, I get it that anyone bad must be Hitler by a certain mindset, right the point where Saddam, who compared himself to another monster, Stalin, was still given that label. Despite that trend it's worth considering that when some people say Fascist they mean something other than Germans with skulls on their hats. Here's a well written bit on what to watch out for: http://www.nybooks.com/articles/1995/06/22/ur-fascism/
Donald Trump looks like he may be going down that road some time soon and it's scaring the shit out of some people.
Spooks don't like being named especially if they say something that people in politics will not like. That's why we see so many articles like that instead of "CIA Analyst Fredrick Fishmeister says..." Is it true? Spooks spend so much time crying wolf or other lies that it's hard to say.
One of the reasons behind the current case is that one of the drivers involved had the rate changed on him when he was in the middle of a transporting a customer. How is that "independent" in any way?
That's the problem with many of the commenters on this article. Acting as if everything that is not a 9-5 office job is contracting is somewhat naive.
In the 1990s I was a contractor, which was fine, until I started getting more than 90% of my work from one client upon which I had tax hassles because I was then considered an employee. The people who only work for Uber would not be considered contractors in most of the world.
I'm probably the same age as you or older, but since I listened to what my students were complaining about in around 2000 and paid attention later I've noticed that the "any idiot can get a job" situation you were familiar with growing up has gone. Those menial jobs you remember that could keep a poor student on baked beans are not so easily available and hiring happens by word of mouth. If the kids don't already know the person who is hiring they probably won't even hear about it.
Not traditional? It's just very old fashioned piece-work such as was common in the West a century ago and the third world now. You just haven't noticed because it's taxi trips and not shirts.
Ah yes, the guy who graduated in the middle of a boom or went to work for daddy. Your situation is the unusual one. Also kids today have it tougher since the shit menial jobs you or I could always find eventually if there was nothing in our field are going to undocumented workers being paid under the table.
To add to that one of the events that led to this case was a driver being informed of a rate change right in the middle of a job. Independent my arse. It's a "pray I don't alter it any further" situation where the employees are expected to take whatever is decided by Uber management.
I'm surprised windmills are increasing the price of power for the mainlanders, though. What's that about?
In Australia apparently they cause storms that knock down transmission lines. They probably give cats fleas as well.
It's about a ridiculous habit of charging at windmills that for extra hilarity is hundreds of years after a satire about idiots charging at windmills was written. Idiots seeing the new as a monster to be opposed is apparently a plot that never gets old.
This is slashdot, you should know better than to think those are the only choices.
If getting your stuff in the newspaper is a catastrophe then expecting a third party and everything on the way to them to keep your secrets is just asking for trouble.
BTW, the MS Exchange suite is very well named. The best thing to do with it is to exchange it for a different collection of software.
First...what exactly does the "Department of Energy" do for us in the US?
It turns out that if you give "free enterprise" a lot of slack you with energy supply and distribution you end up with things like Enron's pricing scam in California. No regulation or control at all and only the most profitable places on the coasts would have electricity. Other stuff too.
But if you're the head of the organization and the rest of the organization don't obey your orders, it's not "your" organization, is it?
If it's every order, then yes, but if it's orders that lawyers have massive problems with then that's a pretty standard situation with newbie managers.
It was interesting watching a middle manager wander into a steelworks and try to throw his weight around when the line operator knew that not just the CEO but the board as well would be a bit pissed off if he followed orders and did something that would halt production for a month. Sometimes orders can't be obeyed for reasons of policy, charter, the law of the land or sheer impossibility. In the case of this EPA thing it's more "you are just being a prick, wasting everyone's time and looking for heads to kick - try again".
I said this elsewhere but I think the massive fuckup was outsourcing. If it was inhouse they could just change the password and ring the guy up and say "your new temporary password is sword-a-da-fish". Yes, it does sound a bit Marxist to do it that way, but if you want to keep stuff secret paying an advertising agency to handle your email is not a good step.

Expect a lot more of this shit at the whim of your new King.
How the fuck did the USA of Jefferson, Washington and all the rest end up like this?
It was a response to some pretty annoying and naive pidgeonholing you had perpetrated above.
Lucid? I don't fucking think so.

New? It's 19th century piece-work disguised by lies.
"Ride Sharing?" As if the driver is going to drive to your destination whether you are in the car or not.
Since the Uber piecework employees are providing their own cars, fuel etc it would be a losing proposition to do it at minimum wage.

It appears that the court disagrees with your well crafted expert legal opinion based on decades of experience (or not).
Yesterday Japan passed a law to make casinos legal in their territory.
Coincidence?
Very unlikely.
Trump is working for Trump and not America.
In Australia apparently they cause storms that knock down transmission lines. They probably give cats fleas as well.
