"A UBI that's financed primarily by tax increases would require the American people to accept a level of taxation that vastly exceeds anything in U.S. history..." "
He's missing that it should be funded by cutting services. When welfare is canceled, you save all that. You put that against UBI. The irony is that the conservatives who hate welfare will complain that welfare is too small to fund UBI. We need to increase Welfare!
Because that punished people that make $2500 a month. If you make that, you are better off not working. Or illegally working cash jobs. UBI will pay the "top up", it's just a top up from $0 to $2500, and doesn't decrease if you make $2500. This will encourage people to work and benefit themselves, while the "top up" programs often punish you for working.
But anyway, spending more than the next 8 or 10 militaries _combined_ makes no sense whatsoever.
Consider that 7 or 8 of those on that list are explicitly allies. Our two most militarized allies are enough to defend us from anyone else (or everyone else). If that makes you feel powerless, buy some guns.
Nobody has the ability to attack the US. The only possible attack vector is if the US abolished all the nukes, and so Russia or someone decided to nuke us. The opportunists couldn't muster a force great enough to take anything. A fool is someone that spends $1B on a security system for their home to protect their single $1M car. Nobody cares that much about the US to try to invade it.
And we could de-fund the military and still have the largest military on the planet. That you are too dumb to problem solve doesn't mean everyone else is too.
When you consider the number of people who join the military as a form of UBI, we are probably close to it. And look at FairTax. They want UBI, just set unlivable low, and FairTax is a conservative idea with Conservative backers. Make the "prebate" in FairTax higher, and you have a conservative-created UBI program.
Merely inserting a diskette could infect your machine.
Inserting a disk into a running machine would do what? You don't even really mount the disk until you try to access it.
There are lots of vulnerabilities if you run insecure programs on it. Trojans, worms, and viruses had different meanings back in the day. They'd all operate differently, but would all require use of an infected (insecure) file. Anti-Virus was all about scanning insecure files you were trying to run. Simply put, if you never ran anything insecure, you never had a problem.
It has both no security and perfect security. Security isn't in the OS, but there are also few vulnerabilities. The applications own the security. So there's no reason DOS couldn't be used, it would just need appropriately secure applications to meet your requirements.
While 'black lives matter', so do everyone else's, too.
And that's exactly what BLM means. Black lives matter too. It's only the racists full of hate who can see it only as "black lives matter [more|only]". BLM is the first ALM movement. They just noticed that while all lives matter, the treatment was not equal. If you called 911 with your house on fire and the fire department showed up and started spraying down the houses around yours, but didn't try to put your fire out, if you said "my house is on fire" to one of them, would you think "all houses matter" is an appropriate response?
All lives matter. BLM recognizes that. BLM is making the racists angry by pointing to the burning house everyone is trying to ignore.
How can all lives matter if Black lives don't matter?
Blacks here in America don't have a corner on the unfairness and suffering market, it's all over the place, and I'm beyond weary of it all.
So innocent black people should get gunned down by the police on your street because you are weary of world violence?
Much like my liberal parents were Republicans most of their lives. They voted in the Republican primaries in Texas because that was the only way to select among the contested primaries that lead to uncontested general elections. Anyone not active in campaigning is likely better off being a "member" of the party they aren't supporting, so they have input into the candidates, as well as among them. Though I do find it interesting he was a Democrat for so long. If anything, it proves his current political moves aren't long-term goals, but a spoiled brat acting on a whim.
Conservative Republicans are green. They just need to have that pointed out to them. The stereotypical Republican is a hunter. Hunters are green. They just aren't the same green as the hippies. They want wild game to be able to live, and that requires some care for the environment.
[Trump] conveniently joined the GOP just before the election cycle
What was he before? Many people don't join a party until there's some need. I have still never "joined" a political party, and participate in a random selection of primaries, depending on the local choices available. If he was "nothing" before, the he seems like a life-long Republican who didn't bother to formalize that selection until there was some reason to do so.
I'm running games off USB just fine on XBone. I just can't run games bought on disk on the USB exclusively. Disks are much slower than USB, and I think systems like XBone test performance of USB and if it doesn't run fast enough, it'll not use it for external storage.
The problem is the pompous idiots in IT, like yourself. Infrastructure is a revenue generator for 99% of the real world. It is the people in IT can't think of it that way. Ever notice how no company cuts off the power bill to save money? Infrastructure is a core function of the business and necessary for revenue generation, every business knows and understands that. That IT managers can't word it that way is IT fault, not CFO fault.
My story started the same, but Friend of Microsoft was my sister. If someone wanted Vista, they could buy their own computer, but not expense it. 98 SE was great for perephrials, and 2000 was great for file-shares. So we had a mix of 98/2000 until XP, then a quick move to XP. Turns out the terms of the licensing for non-profits are a lie. A "purchase" of a lifetime key is good for 1 year. The computer is legal forever, but you can't re-license anything with that key after 1 year. Unless you renew a corporate licensing contract annually with that license attached.
Microsoft licensing is so confusing that every time I've been audited, the results took months, because the MS auditors had to send the results to Redmond for the official response on the keys and such. I was never under or over licensed by much, but I'd get keys from 10 different sources to be able to get the best price on the day for the cost-conscious non-profit.
Hzbollah was unrelated to 9/11, which was one of the reasons actually given.WMDs and 9/11 were the reasons given. Both were known to be false. WMDs was a planned reason to invade. Bush had wanted it for a long time, and Cheney knew it would make his friends at Halliburton billionaires, so there was no reason to stop the pointless war.
The lesson from Vietnam should have been, never enter if you don't have a plan to leave. But we try to never learn from our mistakes, better to claim we never made them.
So voting for him is dependent on his platform of "hating hillary"? He can still work towards his other parts of his platform without changing that. And, so far, nobody has "voted" for him. Only delegates can do that, and they haven't voted yet.

One can believe all that, and still believe in UBI.

You don't re-enter. Detonate the bomb at the edge of space The EMP will cause havoc, and will be uninterceptable.
How can all lives matter if Black lives don't matter?
Fuck the fuck off and stop attaching other shit to what I had to say.
I didn't attach anything to what you said. I just challenged your racists comments, and pissed you off.
So ISIS's goal is the same as the Republicans. Provoke a war, then capitalize on it.
While 'black lives matter', so do everyone else's, too.

English has many exceptions, many for adopted French words. French has a greater disconnect when you are following the basic standard rules.
Mod this up if you support equal rights and care about ALL lives of ANY race, color, creed, age, gender, or sexual orientation.
That's BLM. Why is that so hard for the deliberately obtuse to understand?
So changing your mind is "lying".
Companies file the most patents,
Also statistically you're way off. [...] That's an order of magnitude more patents submitted by corporations than by individuals FYI.
Wow, you agree in a very disagreeable manner. You said exactly what I said, almost verbatim, and presented it like you somehow contradicted me.

If we had won in Vietnam, Cambodia and the Khmer Rouge would never have happened.
