Yeah, then why does Best Buy not display the publicly available prices on their price matching terminals? I haven't bought from them in a long time, but the last time I did, they wouldn't match their own web site. They had a price-matching terminal, and would only match what you could find on there, and it was filtered, and the bestbuy.com displayed on it wasn't the public one. I pulled the site from my phone and showed them. They price matched their own web site then. I heard they got sued for that one, that was about the time I stopped going for good. There's nothing I need badly enough to go there. mail-order is good enough, and other places have cables and such for cheaper, if I need something that day.
The store wouldn't take printed web sites. "It could be edited, we have to pull it up on our own computers and view it ourselves". They wouldn't match at the register, but you had to go to the customer service counter, and get a manger to write out a special price adjustemnt, and they were the ones that would argue to try to convince you to not price match.
And in most cases, you can't price match because they only match on the same part number, and Best Buy pays LG extra money so the washer is part 1000001BestBuy for them, and 1000001US for the rest of the US. So nobody else sells the same "part number" despite them usually being 100% identical.
They actively discourage price matching as much as possible.
Not sure how the former implies the later or even what connection there may be between capitalism and protesting using the national anthem.
The article is about a business silencing free speech because the affected business didn't like it. That's the same as the general population silencing political speech because they don't like it. That the second happens regularly is a direct cause for the first being acceptable. If the second were not acceptable, then the first wouldn't be either. That you don't see "freedom of speech" as being related to "freedom of speech" is not something I can help you with. Perhaps you can Billy Maddison your way to an education.
What you will find are lot of people who are offended by the actions of the athletes, primarily along the lines of "there's a time and a place" and who think that protesting against cops by disrespecting the flag and anthem during a 9/11 ceremony is just beyond the pale
Yet, the same people who complained about sitting during the anthem were the ones that booed during a moment of silence on 9/11. (or at least a similar) They aren't even consistent in their thoughts on free speech. That was the point.
at the same time fining athletes who wore commemorative gear (e.g., shoes with 9/11 painted on them).
No fines were issued. When some people bragged about breaking uniform code, they were reminded it could earn them a fine. The details of the uniform and fines were not discussed, and the conservative media got hold of rumours and ran with them. You should fact-check your statements. But, you obviously don't care about the truth. You just care about pushing your political agenda.
Feel free to prove me wrong. Point out a single player fined on 9/11 for a uniform violation relate to honoring 9/11. Avery Williamson wore the "controversial" cleats, and no fines were given. The threats were over-stated and never given, as reported in the conservative media. Ratings and attendance are up since the boycott. Those protesting protestors are not actually protesting, just complaining, then giving the NFL their patronage. Weak willed whiners is all they are. They can't give up watching men in spandex grapple for one day, to actually protest what's so important to them.
But if the area wants a bridge, maybe they ought to pay for it themselves?
The cost per square mile in Alaska is less than any other state in the USA. Why do you hate the low cost of Alaska? You want to abandon the rural areas, and focus on the conservative havens of the large cities, rather than a fair inclusion of the red states like Alaska. After all, it was Republicans that proposed and voted for the bridge to nowhere. And there were two bridges to nowhere, the Ketchikan one (Gravina Island) and the Knik one. Both proposed and supported by those liberal Republicans, and defeated by those conservative Democrats.
Conditional on them teaching the correct political viewpoint, of course.
I put no such constraints or limitations on there, why would you choose to require a political viewpoint?
No mods up for funny, a mod down, for something. Looks like your funny wasn't, so dissecting an incorrect statement that wasn't a joke (even if intended as such) seems appropriate. They bought the laser division. Laser doesn't come with ink. Just like your joke doesn't come with humor.
Capitalism in the US requires silencing dissent and anti-free speech when it comes to a sport player sitting for the national anthem, but not when supporting those that boo'd a presidential address about 9/11. If you provide bad service, they should sue you, not tell others about your bad service. Suing is the American Way.
TFS mentioned laser printers. HP has been spending all their efforts on ink, not laser, so they are behind. Though that means people can pick up their cheap lasers for $100, but they don't last any better than the ink ones, not like the 20 year old HP laserjets that are still going.
Go watch the reality TV based in Alaska. That'll confirm your bigotry as well. a large portion of Alaskan population is military and support, given that there's more coastline in Alaska than the rest of the US combined. And we can see Russia from our backyard, and they are ready to invade.
The truely government-less places are Antarctica, the Moon, and a number of small islands that are "owned" but unmanaged. So long as you don't draw attention to yourself, you can live 100% government-less in a place with infrastructure. Somalia is just a quick answer, because if you mention Pacific islands, the rightists demand a name and location, so they can argue the point. I've been to islands that literally had no government. They were tagged on a map as being administered by a specific government, but there was no means for that government to do so.
I want roads. I don't want bridges to nowhere,
Alaska gets the least amount of money per area of any state. The bridge to nowhere was linking the largest airport in the area to the largest population center in the area. That both are small by NYC standards doesn't mean they are insignificant to the largest state in the Union. If that's an issue, then you should probably work to expel Alaska from the USA. They pay more than they get back, anyway (depending on how you count the oil).
I want public access to education. I don't want public schools run by $250K administrators and directed by federal requirements.
That's a first. A complaint about public education that didn't mention unions. You do realize that the vast majority of federal rules are driven by Republicans on a crusade to destroy public education? My solution is simple and easy, and neither side likes it, so it must be good. Fund all schools, public or private, based on enrollment. The conservatives call this a "voucher" system. This is voluntary for the schools. Any school that accepts a "voucher" must accept all students who apply, and is banned from expelling any student unless the act for the expulsion is a crime and the child was convicted.
Those few restrictions will leave the education system almost exactly as it is now, and still establish vouchers. Then you an have your "competition" without using "vouchers" as tax breaks for the rich. I went to a mix of public and private schools when I was growing up. All unrestricted vouchers would be is welfare for the rich.
I am taxed at around 25% federal tax, nearly 10% state tax, that is 35 % of my income gone, before I get home. After that, I pay property, sales, and all sorts of other Taxes and fees. And, I am not even in the top tax bracket.
Then you need to make more. I'm in the top bracket, and pay less than 20% tax, summing all state, local and federal taxes (excluding those not levied on me, so I exclude 1/2 of payroll taxes, and other "indirect") tax. US federal income tax is 10% on the 10%, if you properly structure your income and expenses. It also helps that Alaska is a low-tax state. But that's something else under your control. Seems you shop for a poor quality of life, so you can complain about it.
You can step out of that contract. It requires some work, but you were born into slavery. Your argument is that all slaves are free men, as they didn't sign up for slavery. Reality has proven you wrong. Why do you hate reality?
Just move. Then you've fixed the problem. Two in fact. If you move, your neighbors don't have to deal with you anymore as well.
Under which God is this right?
The quote, "Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's" is from the Biblical God, telling people to pay taxes. Which God do you subscribe to? Chances are your Holy Book has something similar.
If it had been all white males, it would have been more acceptable than being all white males, with some paid color. When you can't even find any legitimate tokens, and have to outsource your token non-whites, coupled with the corporate guilt that makes you feel the need to, shows you hate yourself but don't want to fix it. That's the real issue. At least the Trump supporters are comfortable in their bigotry. Rather than Apple pretending they aren't, while demonstrating they are.
I've seen a report where Colin Powell recommended her own server. Clinton Powell himself recommended AOL (documented in a memo to Clinton), because the email servers at the government were so bad. He's since claimed that he never discussed it, that there was no memo, that it never happened. But the memo was then found and published.
The State Department's own report states that she did not seek authorization to run her own server and if she had, it would have been denied (because you know, rules).
At the time there was no means to seek "authorization".
This, like the blowjob, is about trying people on English for a legal issue.
Bill Clinton never had "sex" with that woman. The judge explicitly defined "sex" so the answer would be accurate. Bill Clinton gave the only legal answer to the question asked. That it confused dumb people caused them to try to impeach for telling the truth.
This witch hunt is exactly the same. Everyone before her with email did the same thing. There was no "process" for any of them to get permission to do it. There was no outrage that Colin Powell used (and recommended) AOL to conduct government business. But, after she had permission to use hers (one of the answers found is that the process of authorization is to ask the Secretary of State, and she did, as she was), the rules changed, and explicitly allowed a transition period, leaving her 100% legal, while not following the rules.
She should not have had classified material on it. That is the *only* thing that is of legal interest. But the FBI cleared her, as there was no indication of breach, leak, or maliciousness.
But the Hillary Haters turn it into something else. A massive conspiracy. Nope, that was Rove and the RNC emails. This was the next person in line doing what everyone else before them had, and being the first to get in trouble for it.
If they didn't, they get bashed for not cutting costs. When they cut costs, people complain. What would you have them do? Close from lack of funding? Outsource to the lowest bidder to keep the doors open?
If you suspect it's vulnerable, what do you do? Verify your suspicions? Report them without proof or verification? One is illegal, and the other is ignored. And the vulnerability will remain, to be exploited later.
There have been complaints about those systems. Nobody cared. Until it was compromised on camera, it wasn't fixed. When the ostrich response is the only response, unless you make an elected official look like an idiot, should you have to go to jail for disclosing a vulnerability?
I have written a letter to my MP in support of SkyTran. The local transportation government organization budgeted $80B for transportation over 20 years. For that price, they could put SkyTran over every single road. Of course, I didn't expect them to look at it, and they didn't, but, in addition to the resistance to change, it simply doesn't work, yet. When TelAviv and a few others are up and running with published costs and speeds/safety, someone could seriously consider it. At the moment, any politician that recommends something new bets their entire career on it.
There's nothing in the constitution that prevents people from being cruel to other people. The Constitution is a restriction on the government, and usually then, only the federal government.
Yeah, it follows the shortest path and all paths at the same time, so short out an electrical fire with water, and you put out the electrical fire and secondary fire at the same time. The reason you don't use water on electric is that if you turn a fire hose on a burning electric train, you'll kill the firemen holding the hose.
People get confused over the differences, and make rules of thumb that are simply wrong.
I've not heard anything that points to bad management. I haven't heard anything at all. Once the delivery date was missed, all news about it seemed to disappear. The former supporters seemed to think it was all vapourware. Sure, very part in isolation has been done elsewhere, but that doesn't mean Sky Tran know how to do any or all of them.
