Don't misrepresent my statements, if you want clarity ask. There have been 0 successful democracies because major problems can not be solved. Problems in many cases are not even recognized because problems are always someone else' problem. If they are recognized, by the time everyone can agree on a solution it's too late. The longest lasting pure democracy didn't make it a full generation.
Can you provide me a number for how many pure democracies have ever survived for any extended period? Going through history, I find exactly 0. Sure, companies are not Governments but tend to work on exactly the same principles.
That said, perhaps they have some form of Republic. I didn't read their full company charter to see.
Sargon of Akkad did a video explaining the Pewdiepie situation very well. Sadly the only people who want to learn are people who don't know him (like me) or get information from the far left who started the petitions, threats, etc... Those people are stuck in confirmation bias, so will simply call Sargon a [insert_ism/obe]. People who knew him already knew this was coming so don't need the lesson.
I "almost" agree that Youtube has become a better source of information than broadcast "news", but probably for different reasons. There are a few people I subscribe to and follow, but most of the time I use that information to find sources. It takes me 5 minutes to read a transcript versus 5 minutes to read someone's analysis of a transcript. When the majority of media ignores information that does not fit a narrative and cherry picks for an agenda, my time is better spent with the actual source making up my own mind.
Most of the time the herd will wander around and graze peacefully, get fat, and have lots of offspring. Then comes the storm and the herd runs off a cliff wiping most of them out.
Interesting concept in a way, but leadership is not just checking boxes. Leadership is being able to react to situations and provide guidance to people to keep them no track.

Context is everything and lacking context your statement is a lie. The guy made a couple satires based on claims of him being a , not a normal staple on his channel. The allegation was that since some white racist like him he must be racist. That beauty should sound familiar right? By the way, some Muslim extremist likes your post, so you have to be a homophobic anti-Semite.
The "take offense at everything" generation has ensured that the overwhelming majority of comedians will not perform on a Campuses. But hey, enjoy Amy Schumer shows ever week because a white chick insulting men and pretending to be a slut is comedy everyone can enjoy for an eternity right?
As "slew" stated, I'm guessing that the bosses do hear and consider the ethics presented by the scientists. I never stated or insinuated otherwise. That does not mean, nor should it imply, that those are the only two voices in the equation especially when you look at funding. Funding is not a single layer up the food chain, it may be dozens of layers up the food chain. The public at large has no input on those decisions, and quite frankly can only find out about them after the fact.
I'm not really sure what you were attempting to argue, but what ever it was you failed.
Not from College student. "RE: Aliens in my University. We are hiding in a safe space and have no idea what is out there. Please write something nice on a note and slip it under the door after sanitizing the document. As we consider the amount of analprobaphobes on campus it should be known that messages not fitting our confirmation bias will be ignored."
Sure, and then your boss/funding source says "your fired or collect a fat check". This is an age old problem with science and power. Sadly we can only control ourselves, so if we don't China/Russia/Germany/England (anyone with enough money and manpower) will.
I get it, it sounds good on paper. Unfortunately morality of the scientists is not the only issue.
Davis's failed and corrupt party politics on the Democratic side resulted in a successful recall. Davis followed a long history of Democratic scum milking society dry with empty promises, massive wealth redistribution of the middle class, and open corruption. A non-politician was voted in and started trying to fix the mess. As President Trump is seeing, there is a constant sabotage effort from the Marxist left. Considering the efforts of the Alinskyites, a non-politician still did a decent job. Issues with giving Drivers licenses to illegals were pushed back, not put in by Brown. Issues of massive increases to vehicle registration were pushed back, implemented by Brown. The Democrats and Union cronies illegally campaigned against him and his policies (found illegal by the US Supreme Court).
But hey, it's always someone else's fault even when the Democrats wreak havoc. Your tactic is to lie, and keep repeating the lie relentlessly. Alinsky learned from Himmler, and you morons either get it or follow along with the goose step your party chants. What is hillarious is that you idiots actually believe chanting "down with Nazis and Fascists" defends your use of Nazi and Fascist tactics.
6 of one, have dozen of the other in a way. Germany and Japan are much more strict on obtaining a drivers license, licensing a car, insurance for a car, and the cost of the car is higher. Trains are absolutely more economical in Europe and Japan, but also require a lot of Government funding.
I agree with the push by anti-car people, but the US can't really be compared to Europe or Japan simply because the economics are vastly different. A train will cost nearly the same prices as a Flight, and takes little time off a drive once you calculate stops.
Japan and Europe are also different in that their cities grew up around trains, not around roads and airports. Train stations are common hangouts for people to shop, eat, and even go to the bar to hang out for an evening. Trains also run much closer together. The US trains has no such support. Train stations happen to be far from any such niceties and convenience. Mountain View is one of few exceptions where shops are close enough to walk to outside of the Financial district in SF where only one system runs. Trains run every hour outside of the city, not every 10 minutes like most of Europe. Nobody wants to sit in a Train Station in the US, but in Europe and Japan it's a hangout.
In a small sense, I agree with you. My point is that the economics for trains, not limited to just CA but CA was responded to, are a complex issue. CA lied about the trains and it's mostly for cronyism and corruption, which we probably agree on.
You are missing a key in the questions. Will a person drive for 3 hours costing 10.00, Fly for 1 hour for 200.00, or Train for 2 hours at 200.00. People that can spend more will Fly, people with less money will drive (first time novelty ride does not count). California claims that somehow all of the wealthy people will be hopping on the Train instead of Flying, and all the people without money will be able to fork out airline prices to take the train. Money here is a huge motivator, and I agree trains in the US today won't work.
Japan, Germany, England, Trains are okay but tend to be the _only_ option for many people because they can't afford cars. Distances across country are much smaller, and the Government subsidizes trains pretty heavily.
Look at voting trends in urban areas which vote almost 99% democratic over the last 50 years. Your claim for citation is delusional at best, dishonest at worst.
Every claim you just repeated by the State has been proven _False_ by other agencies who did not "fluff" numbers and use hyperbole to determine usage. To be cost effective the train will need to cost more money than an airline ticket and the overall commute time cuts small percentages off of driving. Usage of the train will be minimal, just like Amtrack who requires massive federal funds each year to operate.
Every penny of that train is deficit spending by the Government with minimal private investment because private companies see the investment as a loss. The ones who have invested are doing so banking on the loss.
New and shiny will always attract funding. Old and boring, not so much.^W^W^W^W^W^W^W Corrupt politicians don't care about people once elected, they care about more power.
3 Groups filed briefs as far back as 2005 requesting that California update the overflow spillway as part of the re certification process. The overflow was found not to meet standards and caused risk. California put 0 money into the issue and ignored it. But hey, we got more welfare and crony projects like the Bullet-CrazyTrain. http://abc7news.com/news/repor...
"You are mistaken. Climate change due to fossil fuel is blamed for ALL displacements of people for weather events like flood and drought." That distinction is critical, and not maintaining the distinction is intellectually dishonest. History is full of records dating back thousands of years describing floods and droughts which caused mass migration, famine, and all of the illness that comes with those things. Those are not from "fossil fuel", but normal natural events.
Rational discussion with people who are intellectually dishonest is a fruitless pursuit, which is why there are so many fervent skeptics. Passing blame and claiming everyone should pay taxes with no plan of action has resulted in absolutely no progress on real issues from Fossil fuels, like pollution. The barrage of appeals to emotion and "nuh uh" responses get us nowhere.
60% is what your Government publishes as the average for all taxes, not the restriction you placed on just earned income. Add in your retirement taxes, property tax, sales tax, pension fees, dividend and capital gains taxes, and the _average_ tax rate is 60%. Some estimates put it at 55%, and I did find another article which shows 51%, but it is still one of the highest rates in the World.
Typical leftist bullshit. Go to Detroit, Chicago, Flint, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Toledo, or any other place with high welfare rates and low job opportunities. Not that you want to do any actual work that would harm your ideology, but the facts are plain as day. Oh, and while in Detroit or Chicago perhaps you will get shot due to the overwhelming economic opportunities Democratic (Leftists) have given those once great cities.
For part A I'd recommend you read the conversation in context. Following more than a single post is really not that hard for someone who believes they are smart.
For part B, bullshit. You do realize that you can find all Federal Tax forms on IRS dating back well over a century right (example)? Spouse were not listed on Federal Income Tax forms until 1944, and marital status was not listed in the Federal forms at all. Who was President? Democratic FDR, and the reason was to help population growth after WW II.Deductions for individuals were not part of our taxes until 1958, which again was to help with population growth during the cold war.
Part C, another fabrication like part B. I have no idea how someone believes a Will is the same thing as Taxes, but then again you are 0 for 2 and don't seem to be bright.

The login you are responding to is from Facebook, so I'm thinking you were just trolled. Regurgitated talking points and faked news mentions.

Which means that people will continue to FLY, not take a Train. You can go read the independent studies and their findings.
For years, client scientists have been saying that AGW will bring about more droughts and more floods.
