When the U.S. sneezes the world catches cold. Remember the global recession caused by our housing and banking crisis? The rest of the world has a big stake in political choices. Yes, we are still that important. At the rate we are going not for much longer but at least the next ten years or so.
Every government expenditure should be posted on the internet. A few "black" national defense operations could allowed but that would only account for a few percent of the budget. A balanced budget and tax surpluses would quickly occur.
For hundreds of years no one in the world did any unless Christian White males let them. We allowed Mao to take over China. We still have military bases in Japan And Korea. When India mastered western weapons they did get to be quite troublesome so is was best to let them go it alone.
Uh, wasn't Herman Cain a black person? The Chicago machine trumped up sex charges against him, just like they did to Obama's previous opponents. Romney's so squeaky clean all they can do is make false accusations about his tax records. Besides that Obama is not African American, his father was pure East African, no American slave ancestry at all. And exactly who paid for his collage education and what where his grades like? He gets his opponent's records unsealed, maybe the Romney campaign can do a little unsealing themselves.
Most writers and singers are one hit wonders. You're saying three months copy write is enough, it's mine now, create something else. If I create something it's mine for four years, if you want to use it pay me, other wise, create something your self or do without.
My bank has more obscure questions. What make was your first car? Name of favorite pet. The car someone could guess with five or six tries but the pets name is recorded no where, besides after three wrong answers the account is locked and requires a phone call from my home phone to unlock.
On the television series American Gun they demonstrated a spring loaded stock that allowed the rest of the AR-15 to recoil into the stock and away from your trigger finger, when the gun, and trigger, recoiled back against your finger the trigger was pulled and the rifle fired again. The rifle only fired once per trigger pull but springing action pulled it five times per second. That's about half of a full auto M16 but still it looks the same and as far as I know legal.
Sensor and camera at every intersection. Car pulls into warehouse, identical car with unregistered chip pulls out, cops pull it over before it goes ten blocks. If a $400 phone can lead police to the robbers house a $20000 car should be able to.
Have you seen the amount of hardware most young people have implanted in various and tender parts of their bodies? If you can stick a stud in your tongue or navel a small RFID in your forearm will be nothing.
In what way does anyone watching BBC content in another country diminish your viewing enjoyment or cost the BBC income? Watching their Olympics feed instead of NBC's may lose eyeball time for NBC's advertisers but in not way does anything negative to the BBC.
You can not have successful single payer unless you also have single provider. Multi-million medicare frauds are common with quarter billion frauds not unheard of. Single payer will be twenty times bigger than that. Government will have to employ all doctors and nurses as civil servants and all medical devices supplied by government contractors. Imagine the VA for everyone.
How do the poor get their food stamps without ID? How do they get section 8 housing with ID? How do they get welfare without ID? Are there that many people who live completely off the grid that they could turn an election if registered? How do they even freaking REGISTER with ID?
I find it amazing that every email, tweet, and Facebook post is saved and retrievable forever but a million dollar bank transaction disappears in milliseconds
In 1998 when I was 46 I went back to school. Writing reports was actually fun. Using Word on my computer allowed me to type my thoughts without having to worry about typing mistakes or spelling. Then when I ran spell check and proof read my work I could easily edit my paper. My youngest son, now 21, taught himself touch typing to keep up in chat sessions when playing online games. Younger kids with smartphones don't need that so forced keyboard usage is needed.
If we can't see someone we experience more distraction trying to visualize what their expressions are. I find myself concentrating more on what the person I am talking to is saying because I can't get any visual clues, and less on what is happening outside my car.
We hired soldiers to guard our crops and business. The generals decided to in-cress their pay (taxes) and offer more services. So now the hireling has become the master.
In stead of blasting hundred's of billions into space and and a trillion a year playing whack the Taliban, how about we invest in electronics fab labs, American auto factories, textile mills, Southern invasion prevention measures. Borrowing one and a half trillion every year making bombs and rockets to nowhere makes a few defense contractors rich but are really just make work jobs that pull money out of the economy. We need to invest in energy independence. That means refinery's, pipe lines, transmission lines. Factories and mills where Americans can get a job. We are in an economic war. Business can not be allowed to import goods just to make an extra dollar of profit. Yes, your new iwhatever will cost more, and Walmart's shelves might get a little bare but more people will have money to spend and taxes for welfare and unemployment will drop.
Out fifteen trillion dollar economy will keep rolling along. There will still be plenty of pork for greedy pols to grab. We have hundreds of thousands of collage graduates and none of you can figure out how to create wealth? Any one can con or steal someone else's money. Distributing tax money to people so they can just spend it on useless stuff does nothing to in cress the amount of money, just different people have it.
The Earth is not in a crises. India and China are increasing their energy usage daily. If we turn out all the lights and sit in the dark, world wide carbon usage will still in cress. We need to spend the next twenty years building up our economy. Then from a position of wealth we can explore alternative energy sources. The worlds brightest minds are working on it and when renewables become reliable and sufficient for our needs we can switch over. Collages and universities wont close, just now more graduates will be able to find a job. The first person that says Smoot-Hawley I'm going to find you an beat like a rented mule. How could the economy get any worse? Government insures no one starves or loses their home. During WWII Compan s sacrificed profits for the war effort, millions had their lives uprooted and hundreds of thousand died. In four or five years of the same kind of effort we could create another Manhattan Project. Put every able bodied person to work.
attack unemployment at the source and mobilize a well trained army in a coordinated production effort. The dieing part is optional.
That is exactly what Kwik Lok Did with their plastic bag closing tabs, the flat white clips that keep potato and other produce bags closed. Their trade mark is the shape of the plastic tab. You can't buy substitute clips because anything that would fit their bag closer machine and actually keep a bag closed would look like their trademark.
Corn future price $5.80. Loan rate $1.95. As long as price is above 1.95 no subsidy this year. Sugar, on the other hand has a tariff on it raising the price of sugar, to the benefit of American producers.
My mother-in-law was in fair health with well controlled diabetes but seven years ago, at the age of 62, a fall down a flight of stairs left her in a coma with a broken hip. Every year brings a new life treating condition, kidney failure, congestive hart failure, osteoporosis. Her medication cost $1000 a week. She spends 4 or 5 weeks every year in intensive care, which is where she is at this very moment. Her hospital cost run about $250,000 a year. She is expected to pull through if the nurses don't kill her. They gave her a potassium iv because her blood levels were low. Her kidneys barely function and the resulting edema put her in intensive care again. The family keeps a 24 hour watch on her but her husband had drifted of to sleep and they snuck that one by him, I'm not kidding, and this at a large university hospital.
Now multiply those cost by several million. No wonder nurses are trying to reduce the patient load. Talk about unsustainable. All you young people out there, no one is coming behind you to pay your medical bills so eat right, don't smoke, and try not to fall down a flight of stairs.
Well, to keep this discussion strictly on course, We seem to be having crony capitalist using government and government money to enrich the few who control the system. On the other hand we have crony Fascism where government bureaucrats try to take over corporations to control the workers and seize more of the profits.
There is so much grey in the labor situation I myself have dropped out entirely. I seem to be using a pocketknife in a sword fight so goodnight gentlemen, see you later.
A closed shop is a monopoly, no join union, no get job. You have obviously never tried to work some place where union guys didn't want you there. Have you ever hired people and made a payroll? I will concede that mega-corporations with quasi-governmental powers are a danger not just to workers but citizens in general. The larger the employer, the more regulations are needed.
But medical device manufactures do use sex to sell their products. I worked for a man who's daughter sold medical supplies. She was HOT. She also was one of the top sales persons for the company. With Daddy's money she didn't need a job but she loved the attention.
Unions are formed so that workers can demand wages higher than the labor market would actually provide. This is supposedly a good thing. If I own a business and I form a sales union with my competitors to keep prices higher the market demand provides I would be charged with price fixing and conclusion. Why should I have to pay artificial high prices for my workers but can't charge artificial high prices for my product?
