The issue here is not that we think it is impossible, but that it isn't cheaper. While the prices might seriously go down, the price of the rest will go down as well.
We know we can make planes that fly a lot faster than what they do now. Does not mean it is something we should do.
Many countries have a working healthcare, yet the US decided to go with an inferior option. Many countries use a way of securing CC payment (pin code) yet the US decided to go with an inferior option. Many countries use metric, yet the US decided to go with an inferior system.
Somehow I hope this time it will be different, but I have my doubts.
It is easy. They outsource it all. No, not to India. They just outsource it to the companies who then send them press releases. That is about 90% of the work done The other 10% they copy and paste from Reuters.
They should start with one. In one country and if possible one legal district. First you need to get acceptance of each local political entity. That mean city, province and state. And in each one you win, it must be connected to the next one and that all the way from start to finish.
At the same time you need to compete with the fast trains that already exist all over Europe and are backed by public money.
If they could start with just one and pull it off, that would be great. If you want to invest in money, see what lawyer company they use and try to buy shares there, because they will be making a shitload.
At least he was honest. Can't say he lied. What he does is legal (although not ethical) and if people do not like it, they indeed should go either fuck themselves or change it that it isn't legal anymore.
If I drive 50KMH in a 50KMH zone and you think it is too fast, you can also go fuck yourself or change it that the limits are lower.
The legal part should be closer to the ethical part and that should be our way to say to him that he can fuck himself. Unfortunately we do not have a real say in laws. Fuck me, right?
So you thought that it is/was not possible to influence elections? The US government thinks otherwise. And as somebody living in Europe, yes we know what happens if people are unhappy.
You can't fool all the people all the time. It just take some time.
...until Sessions announced he'd found the leaker and was pressing charges. And then, all of a sudden, we get the usual right-wing "background check"
If they do this for somebody so low on the ladder, can you imagine the witch hunt they would do if it where somebody much higher up who spilled secret information to foreign states that are not really allies? What? They don't? How do you spell hypocrite again??
I do not care what the original purpose was. Things change and it sure isn't the purpose now. And the purpose now may change in the future.
The purpose of most parts of North America was to get money to the UK; France; Spain and The Netherlands. Somehow that has changed a bit as well. It is nice to know where things are coming from. It is also nice to understand that there is a difference between past and present.
And people wonder why I do not use my own name since forever. It is because of this. I do not know if what I say now will be legal tomorrow. I have learned this many years ago when I talked with people who had joined the Nazi party (the origial one) What was acceptable and even demanded at that moment, changed a bit later.
We have seen it with people protesting mixed race schools. We have seen it with many other things.
I am not even sure if I will agree with the many things I believe in now, so I would not want anybody to hold it agaist me later.
The private school maintains it's freedom to accept and reject whomever it wants
Not true. They can, for example, decide to accept a certain race and deny another. So the rights they have to refuse are not limitless. They should be defined up front. e.g. they base it on the amount of money they give and/or on results and/or other things.
Wether or not hate-speach was on the list of 'no access' is what is important. They can not alter the rules after the game.
If this was all the case or not, I do not know:. Just because something is a private entity does not make them above the law.
I live in Socialist Europe where we have Unions in all companies. Even here people can get fired for "Sorry, it does not work out." Now what that means, compared to "You are caught stealing, so we fire you for that" and the other is that in the case of theft you get nothing. No payout. No unemployment benefits. Nothing.
In the first case you get a settlement of minimal 6 weeks (in Belgium) and perhaps even more and you are entitled to get unemployment benefits.
So there is a minimum period, depending on how long you work somewhere. It will be more if you work there e.g. 10 years. This is the legal minimal time. Sometimes they will give more just so you won't make a stink. e.g. I got 7 months at one place where I worked 2 years. Had I thought that wasn't enough, I could have filed a lawsuit, but if I had lost, I would only have gotten the minimal amount.
So no damning evidence needed. Just the knowledge and will to pay out and realize it will be cheaper than keeping that person.
I would say this could easily fall under a loss of trust
Last time I visited the US I went through JFK. Took about 3 hours to get into the country. What I saw reminded me when I traveled to East-Berlin by car. The same mindless stares of the people. Some just sitting on a chair doing nothing. The inefficiency was amazing.
Get in line, wait for three hours. Have people read the paper you filled out. They look at it as if they understand what it says. Look at you passport and make it look important. Get a paper, with a stamp on it. Walk 10 meters (30 feet) and hand over the paper to somebody else who reads it as if I where able to falsify it somehow in those 10 meters.
"Yes, but there are sooo many people arriving in JFK". No, there where not. We where the only plane at that time. Luckily I did not have a connecting flight, because I would have missed it.
The sole reason was inefficiency.
On top of that, what social media should I now avoid to be connected with? Is/. social media? Is Usenet social media? Is Imgur.com? The nice thing is that If I ever decide to go, I need to fear that I forgot something and they can deny me entry based on that.
Perhaps this is their way to refuse journalists to the cuntry (Not a spelling mistake)
Several years ago (20 or so?) there where news broadcasts that where 30 years old. I assume they used it to try out 24 hour broadcasting and did not yet have the content to fill it. I was in a job where I was awake at that moment. I started to realize that the news was almost identical with what we had as current news with names changed and different locations, but basically it was all the same. People went on strike,. There was war. Prices where to high. I then decided that if was just a news consumer. I just took it all in and let it slowly brainwash me.
At the same time I was at a pub in Dusselforf where they had 3 Telex machines printing out the Reuters news as it came in. Reading a few articles with a few beers was nice. The next day I read the same articles almost verbatim in the newspaper. So what do they actually add as value?
I have not watched any news at all. I do not miss it. I still can talk among the best about current event and it makes me realize even more that people just repeat sound bites.
Understand that the news wants to sell you soap and you are the product. This even goes for newspapers who want to sell ads.
To me, as long as you are not take action, news is not that important and more distracting than helpful. It produces fear, uncertainty and doubt.
Talking with editors of TV News I am even stronger in my believe that not watching news is a good thing.

As if I am reading (audio book actually) "7 Habits of Highly Effective People". The part where he explains the golden goose.
Unfortunately that does not mean that the US will go an identical way.

That could be defined as racism in many places.
These amandments I hear so much about: I think I am going to print them out as they have much more vallue as wall decoration.
I live in Brussels. I have the same thing here. And your point is?
They must have been dumb asses for not going to the US, right?
The exception? Wow. I never knew that Europe didn't exist.
They thought they voted for King Willem-Alexander of The Netherlands when they voted for The Orange One. Silly mistake.

Just watch. It will get worse. This is a problem for Late Night TV, because they can not even hyperbole his stupidity.

To me the real issue is that Companies are fighting for policies and are on the side of the people.
1) Why are the politicians against the people?
2) Why are the people not doing it them selves?
An easy solution to this whole thing is as obvious as going to metric: have doors that go to the floor like a civilized country.
I wish, But Apple disagrees with you. Round corners.
Yes, I know it is stupid and that is not how it should work, but you can bet that they would have tried to pull it of.
