It's a much better deal for the student than a loan, particularly if he's getting a degree that isn't very marketable. With a loan he's still on the hook for payments even if he comes up empty on the job search.
Personally, I don't see how this can work - it's too good of a deal. There's much less incentive to find a remunerative job after graduation - lots of people will find jobs that just pay enough to buy video games and pot while they're waiting out the contract in mom's basement.
The personal income tax rule applies even to people who have renounced their citizenship. If, as a US citizen, you move to another country and renounce your citizenship the government expects 1) a one-time 40% tax on all of your assets and 2) personal income taxes for the next ten years. I don't know how many people actually pay - in my mind a person who is no longer a US citizen isn't subject to its laws except when on US soil.
Which misses the point. Corporate taxes aren't an issue because US corporations pay only a fraction of the stated rate. And they do it by using just this kind of legal shenanigan. The US corporate tax rate is stupidly high and provides less revenue than a lower rate would.
Yeah. He took a clock and put it into another case so it sorta looks like a Hollywood version of a bomb. Then when they started asking him questions his answers were designed to provoke suspicion.
The whole thing was a political stunt, most likely dreamed up by his activist father. The case should be thrown out with prejudice, and the plaintiff ordered to pay fees.
Regarding problems with the track... it seems like an engineer driving a TGV train at 200 mph isn't going to be able to do much by the time he sees a tree or washed out track, on account of F=ma and all.
What did NASA build? Rockwell built the space shuttle. So they've been operating an overpriced white elephant for forty years? Meh.
SpaceX really is different, because SpaceX put its own money into the development of the rocket instead of building it on a can't-lose cost plus contract.
You must not be getting the meaning of simple sentences, then: the cliched phrase implies that it will never be available for practical use.
And that's probably the case. Even assuming they get it working at all, power produced in a giant tokamak will be more expensive than battery backed solar. What's the point?
Because the types of industries in which they work have never recovered from the recession. There's no reason to think they won't be back when the jobs are.
It's not a joke, but on the other hand I don't know how serious it was, either. My impression is the Muslim outreach stuff was a throwaway political line that was never meant to be acted upon.
Nobody really knows why that plane went down. People are speculating bomb, and that's probably true, but it's certainly possible it went down as a result of some sort of catastrophic mechanical failure. If it was a bomb they'll know after the pieces are recovered and analyzed.
I'm not sure anybody is really buddies with ISIS. The Obama administration would like to see Assad gone, but they'd like to see IS gone even more. We could work with the Iranians and the Russians on that.
Personally I don't see any reason for the US to be hastening Assad's departure. Sure, he's a bastard, but he's no worse than anyone who would conceivably replace him. Much better, in most cases. Were I elected president I'd make a stamp that says "NONE OF OUR BUSINESS" and use it for reports on places like Syria.
The UK has around 200 aircraft capable of conducting air strikes. I would be very surprised if it were to "struggle" to put 12 of them over Syria, particularly since there are friendly airbases nearby.
They can certainly add more resources to the mix, though. Twelve aircraft is just showing the flag compared to what a first world country like France is capable of.

Something of a no-true-Scotsman argument, isn't it? That could be true or it could be false depending on who you pick as "peers".

Oh? Is Dragon going to cost a billion dollars to launch?
Sure. And where is the overpriced white elephant now?

We took a wrong turn and were too proud to admit it. The shuttle was a terrible mistake.
Whether or not you intended it to be such, you've made a compelling argument for zeroing ITER out of the budget.
And that's probably the case. Even assuming they get it working at all, power produced in a giant tokamak will be more expensive than battery backed solar. What's the point?
There's a reason you can tell that joke every single year.
Because the types of industries in which they work have never recovered from the recession. There's no reason to think they won't be back when the jobs are.
Construction has not yet rebounded. Why would you think the illegals aren't coming back? When the demand is back, they will be too.

It's both highly malleable and dense, so you can hammer it into really thin sheets for (relatively) lightweight radiation shielding.
Did a Russian sub go down around PNG?
But why would you go into a field like that? As soon as the economy recovers, all those illegals will be back to undercut your wages.
Of course it works. If you tried this kind of attack in Israel you'd kill a few people before being gunned down by ordinary citizens.
The Paveway is just the right kind of tool for the job. What else do you need?
