Do most jobs last more than two years in 2018? We're not living in 1958 where someone could go to work for GM or IBM at 21 and work there for 40 years till retirement.
Employers can fire you at a moment's notice -- why should they expect more loyalty in return?
Personally, I wouldn't avoid jury duty. I actively WANT a chance to practice jury nullification and throw (a small amount of) sand in the gears of the sorry excuse of a justice system that exists in the US.
Except that the Czech Republic has a very similar climate to the most heavily populated parts of Canada. No, no. The problem is long working hours and long commutes in the Anglosphere.
He did things in the wrong order. You go to a non-extradition country, and THEN you leak what you need to leak. Assuming he leaked anything and isn't just a fall guy for piss-poor security at the CIA.
Exactly. Give me a nice "third world" phone (Samsung J1 or J3, Moto G4 Play or G5) with removable battery, SD card. May be homely, but at least I'm not forced to buy a new phone every year by the planned-obsolescent unfixable design.
Until you actually want to talk on the thing, yet want the volume set low enough for the entire room not to hear both sides of the convo. Pretty design, shitty phone. Stop with the artsy-fartsy designs, give something functional. A bezel isn't the end of the world. In fact, it's preferable since it gives a bit of protection to the edges of the (fragile) screen/digitizer glass.
"Earpiece behind the screen" or "bone conduction" will always sound like utter shit compared to a good-quality earpiece speaker. Why sacrifice sound quality for bragging rights about screen size? Stupid. If you don't want the "phone" function, get a damn tablet and STFU.
I'd rather have a good earpiece, not some crap workaround that uses the entire phone face as a speaker. I TALK on the phone, more than I use it as a pocket computer, so I want it not to sound like junk. What's the big deal about a 1/4" stripe without a display on top and bottom. It's a functional device, not artwork, for G-d's sake.
Healthy food can be enjoyable and taste damn good. It's not about coercion, it's about teaching people to find/prepare healthy food within a given budget. And also increasing access to healthy food in a given area -- many "corner stores" only stock heavily processed "foods."
Doubt it will happen -- a lot of people want to become doctors even if doesn't always pay great. It gives a lot of opportunity to do good. What the government might need to do is subsidize medical school in exchange for working for a public health system.
But paying taxes for military homicide sprees in the Middle East and to lock up 1% of the American population obviously is a right. Got to love the good 'ol US of Ay!
Good food is cheap if you cook it yourself. Big bag of salad greens: $2. Big bag of tomatoes: $4. Cheese $3. Onion $1. Pepper $2. $12 + oil/vinegar gives you salad for approximately a week, even in an expensive area like NYC. Chicken/fish aren't expensive, nor are rice, potatoes, or greens. You can eat well for less than fast food costs every day if you know how to cook half decently.
Why did we spend good money on moving it, again? Since when is appeasing religious crazies in Israel (and their Christian Right loony supporters in the US) a matter of importance?
Cole was an attack against a military target, not civilian terrorism within the US. Frankly, it could have been avoided if the US Navy was used for domestic defense, not parked in places where it's not welcome.
This seems like a return to the bad old days of pop-up ad windows over pop-up windows, but now with extra bandwidth-sluuuurping video. Disable. For good. With prejudice.

To sum it up in a word: no. Employers are not required to offer vacation, or to pay overtime over 40hr/wk for higher-paid workers.
Problem is that in the US, "excellence" is defined as 60 hour weeks with a pitiful week of vacation every other year.

Apple? What's Apple? Is it a toy company for aging hipsters?

Bragging rights and design driven by art-farts, not engineers. Yep-pers. Let's make a worse-sounding, more fragile phone, because we can.

Food that will keep for enough time to distribute it in prepared form typically isn't healthy -- contains a lot of preservatives.

The "more affordable" areas often lack paying jobs or access to education (unless you're majoring in football).

Sadly, all American politicians have to pander to religious shitheels who are willing to start a war to prove a point.
Thunderbird for desktop, Pine/AlPine for shell, K-9 Mail for a phone.
Webmail is for the birds. And I'm not organized or disciplined enough for the "Inbox Zero" cult.

Death to America = bluster, and more bluster.

Wouldn't that be "governor-general" vs "president?"
States can still regulate it. Better yet, tax it and use part of the tax revenue to pay for treatment programs for problem gamblers.
