But nobody can answer what happens when someone pre-marks 1,000,000 ballots and stuffs them into ballot boxes.
There have been multiple places where the total paper ballots cast exceeded the number of eligible voters. Paper changes the fraud, but does *nothing* to stop it.
That's why open voting is better. The average person believes that their vote is counted as they intended. Florida 2000 proved that wrong. Many people (over 1,000,000 by some counts) had their vote "spoiled" or lost. Why vote if it'll just be thrown out? But with open voting, you can look up how you voted the day after the election, and if the government says you voted differently than you intended, you can appeal your vote. The only way a vote can count is if you can verify how your vote was counted. Not just verify how you cast it.
Well done electronic voting is better than well done paper ballots. The problem is that everyone compares well done paper to the worst of the electronic. That and I'd expect "well done" electronic to move to open voting and abolish secret ballots.
So what stops your boss from filing in your ballot for you, getting you to sign, then sending it in for you? Any system that allows others near while the vote is cast is open to all sorts of different abuses. If you allow that, you might as well abandon anonymous voting. Open voting has much less fraud than secret ballots, so long as the government is relatively stable. It was only abolished in the US because of a little Civil War.
So how does that let a blind person vote unaided (the original reason electronic voting machines were "invented")? And how does that fix the large number of people that don't fill in the bubble completely or otherwise spoil or partially spoil their ballot? And what happens when someone stuffs the ballot box with extra votes?
I have voted in over twenty elections using optical scan, and there have never been any problems. If there were problems they can be fixed by a manual recount.
Great, so how does that stop someone stuffing ballot boxes? Anonymous paper ballots are vulnerable to stuffing and loss.
I usually work 40 hours a week at over market pay. Not everyone has it as bad as you think. You pay less than market. That's all that counts. No matter how you try to justify it. "We are just a little better than the sweat shops." No thanks.
You don't hire based on the person's stats alone. You don't hire based solely on past performance. You need to hire based on fit and potential. The problem is that the hiring managers and HR can't gauge potential, so they look only at past performance as a gauge for future performance (despite all the disclaimers to the opposite for investments).
I remember that practice (ID/birthdate for all alcohol) from Albertson's in Dallas, but I don't remember all the specifics, that was years ago.
So, it looks like you're right, assuming check-cashing established are not required to check ID in any state.
I've never seen any place that "required" ID, it just ends up that fraud is accepted by the person not accepting ID. And cashing a check in your own bank requires no more ID than a withdrawal, and is handled like a deposit/withdrawal in most cases, and not a "check cashing". And not all banks require "ID", but many will require proof of identity. Swiping your ATM card and putting in your correct PIN is sufficient, and isn't a picture ID. But the "real poor" don't have a bank account of any kind, and the government pays by check, so how do you collect your SS check if you don't have a checking account? You have to get it cashed. By a bank, if you meet their requirements, or a usurious loan shark (checks cashed no-ID place) if you don't.
Without a definition of "hotspot" the story is useless. Is every unsecured home WiFi router counted? Secured store WiFi that you get a code for when you buy something? Unencrypted walled-garden sites? Pay-only unencrypted WiFi?
This seems more like a count of APs, not hotspots. They don't mention what you can do with them. If you have to pay to get to the Internet (other than cafes that you have to buy a coffee), then it isn't a "hotspot" it's paid wireless internet.
I mean... you're failing basic rhetoric here. Its sad. Try harder.
Ah yes, the Slashdot Concession. Rather than discussing the facts, you discuss the discussion. You win. You are obviously here to assert opinion as fact and harass anyone with a different opinion until they say they agree, so you "win" yet another argument. I'm not 12. It's not worth my time.
https://www.google.com/search?... Some people get carded. Often the clerks are told to card *all* women. The older ones find it flattering. Most guys don't get carded. You mentioned your wife gets carded. Do you? Did she ever get turned away if she said she didn't have it on her, or did they let her through? The "exceptions" are the supermarkets selling wine that card 100% of people, even George Burns would have been carded. The transaction won't work unless it has a birthdate entered, and the clerk gets in trouble if 50% of the people in her line shared her birthday.
It was taken down the day after the announcement. There are rumours it will not be put back up because of the announcement. It's a PR stunt, not hoax, to ensure it gets put back up. And the article doesn't really say anything.
The humor is that by that reckoning, they'd need to tear down the Lincoln memorial if Obama came out gay. The idea that a future holder of the same job should have any relation to the past (and dead) holders of the same position. They might as well make Apple illegal in Russia, as the CEO is gay, so all Apple products call for sodomy.

When we go back to ballot stuffing? That'll solve all the problems.

Just incomplete circles, crossed out votes, partially spoiled ballots, and stuffed ballots. Aside from all the problems, they are problem free.
I have voted in over twenty elections using optical scan, and there have never been any problems. If there were problems they can be fixed by a manual recount.

Yeah, I can pre-mark 1,000,000 ballots, and stuff them without a trace. Much easier to manipulate elections with untraceable paper ballots.

That just means it's a senior position that pays $20k per year.
Good luck on your application. Let us know how it goes.
But then end up only hiring liars.
You left out the people advertising "entry level" with 10+ years required. That's code for "we pay well under market", and are to be avoided.

Are you on the current iOS?
So, free internet, but no food is a "life of luxury". You have an odd definition of "life of luxury".

But bad news for two billionaires is bad news for the country. And bad news for 300,000,000 consumers is not bad news for the country.
Yes, China is dumping rare metals, batteries, trains, solar panels, and still making record profits selling at a loss. Something doesn't add up.

I truly want to see a half-naked gay horse.
