No, it isn't. It is merely being intellectually lazy to consider everything through political lenses. This is what gave us the current cesspool of people always on the lookout for "micro-slights" so they can submit to the temptation to get angry and then turn that anger into obscene outbursts in an adolescent bid for attention.
More to the point, dark matter is matter that doesn't collide with physicists so they get to ascribe to it any perplexing properties they like and then feed it to the rest of us in a bid to act like they do understand how it acts in the universe.
Welch was a pathological dick. He did nothing for GE of worth, and certainly wasn't looking for the future. His main claim to fame was cutting his employee roster and cutting back on basic research. That left GE getting into the mortgage markets which is only now recovering from by unwinding it. His had no foresight, no imagination, an android could have replaced him with no discernible difference in performance.
Really? Do a google search on "Panama Papers". Hell, it even has a wikipedia page on them. And no one stopping you from going to Guardian and reading them. I suspect the U.S. doesn't give a flying rat's ass about them. Not that many Americans had accounts with the Panamanian firm, those that do mainly seem to have them for purchasing property in L. America. Also, the U.S. has rather lax laws, so there was no need to go to Panama.
There is speculation that the U.S.'s own Panama, Delaware, will have to open up but I have my doubts. Their financial cesspool of legislation makes a lot of money for the state. Many companies incorporate there because of their lax laws. They are also the kingpin in bankruptcies...case in point, SCO, but they are small potatoes to what's really going on there.
Idle hands are the Devil's workshop. Don't believe me, go anywhere with high unemployment. It isn't that they are not making money, it is that they can make it through illegal means. And paying us for doing nothing won't work, we have a virtually limitless appetite for new stuff and experiences.
I like to think of it in terms of campaign financing. If you give candidates money, besides getting yet get more of them, they'll take the given money and still ask for more contributions from the public. The human mind won't be constrained by your pink unicorns.
The lawyers are on autopilot due to their agreement to continue to proceed long after reason and/ior the death of SCO. Their paralegals are working overtime during coffee breaks to file these appeals.
"This should also allow some businesses who have been hesitant to make the transition to Windows finally jump in feet first." Oh, you mean all two of them? This will do nothing for businesses who will still be leery of using anything that is not strictly Windows. It is merely PR, costs them nothing, and promotes their alleged software.
You are thinking Medicaid, and the rules are not as you describe. Medicare is health care for the Blue Haired so Grandma doesn't have to come and live with you so you can take care of her.
Trump Supporter: Yer guy is a serial philander. Cruz Supporter: Yer guy is a serial misogynist...and he doesn't like women. TS: Oh yeah, your guy's kids are monkeys. CS: BS, your guy's kids descended from them walking fish the just discovered. TS: Scientist!! CS: That too low...BLAM...BLAM, BLAM, BLAM... TS: BLAM....yer Ma!...BLAM, BLAM, BLAM... CS: Yer Pa!...BLAM, BLAM, BLAM...
After the fight, Trump is interviewed: All CSs are scientists!!! Cruz is interviewed: I summon the wrath of Jesus upon that rat on your head!!! T: Scientist!! C: Rat!!! T: BLAM...BLAM, BLAM, BLAM... C: BLAM...BLAM, BLAM, BLAM..
T (dying in a pool of his own blood) interviewed by Wolf Blitzer: How do you feel right now? We're gonna win this one because I'm a winner. C (dying in a pool of his own blood) interviewed by Wolf Blitzer: How do you feel right now? Obama...Hillary Clinton...Trump is their love child.
I personally am a strict Constitutionalist on this matter. Every gets to keep and bear all the muzzle loading, black powder and ball firearms they can afford. No semi-automatic, automatic, six-shooters, etc. were ever thought about by the Forefathers (long may they wave). Their clear intent was to allow only the firearms of their day.
The Classified Email scandal is a molehill masquerading as a mountain. Most of those emails were incoming, and the part that are National Security are more likely of the form "Putin starches his shorts" (the grimace doesn't come from nothing). No part of the security apparatus at CIA and DoD is going to entrust the State Dept. with anything serious, they aren't that stupid.
It doesn't matter, they Republicans are always playing with the same gasoline and lighting it. With the gerrymandering, the Republicans can control voter outcomes in their favor statewide. As everything, it is a probability distribution. And organizations like the Koch brothers have been playing the probability game very explicitly.
Well, if you are talking about the House, the reason it is so heavily tilted Republican is because they've been very successful in gerrymandering their districts. That explains how they can win the House but lose the Presidential election. The Presidency is very hard to gerrymander. The Senate also shows this because the voting is statewide for any state. One would have expected after 7 years of Obama that were the Republicans so popular, they'd have a super majority. They don't, and they stand to lose what majority they have now in the upcoming elections. The gerrymandering extends to the state and local seats which are heavily Republican.
What is needed is a fair and balanced software program to define Congressional boundaries. It won't happen because both parties won't agree on what is fair and balanced and both are aiming to gerrymander in their own favor after the next census.
Yes, and posts like yours show one of the main impediments towards using nuclear power, i.e., totally unrealistic ideas. You see, it isn't that you can generate power from nuclear materials, it is how you can generate power from nuclear materials. The how is the tricky part involving physical plant, access to material, how much of it you have to work with, etc. This generally comes under the heading "economically produce power".
You might be able to count on the Congressional races, if by that you mean the House. But I doubt it. The Republicans have been very effective in gerrymandering districts. This makes me think they based their party on two lies: 1. they were popular because they looked at the House and the state governments and saw many Republicans, and 2. that the rank and file actually believed their philosophy after they chased most of the Bill Buckley types, who could think without blowing a gasket, out of the party leaving them with a party of eejits. And they campaigned so hard against the government they were supposed to serve that now they have someone in Trump who'd like to drown them all the Potomac, they have the temerity to complain.
The Democrats are no better, but this post is already too long.
"military industrial complex" You are about 30 years behind the times. Most of the defense contractors (those that are left) are busy catering to the rest of the economy. The military part just isn't big enough for them to care that much about. Just in raw terms, DoD's annual budget is about $600 billion. That's a lot of money. About half of that is salaries and benefits. Of the $300 billion you have left, that doesn't all get spend on acquisition. About $64 billion goes to research activities of all kinds. About $74 Billion goes to operations and maintenance. The rest goes in various accounts for all kinds of things. In the their 2017 request, they are asking for about $120 billion for acquisition.
Acquisition doesn't mean it all gets spent on guns, it also included DoD overhead for the oversight people, desks, blah, blah, i.e., anything it would take large organization to manage acquisition infrastructure.
So if you are expecting to swing a $17 Trillion economy with about $100 billion DoD acquisition, you need to be an economics professor eating funny mushrooms.

Hmm...the real disease is the Republicans...don't believe in science and think it is some sort of dodge devoted to...to...well something wrong.

Or maybe those stories weren't as big as they are in your mind?

If everyone lives by "an eye for an eye", soon we're all blind (paraphrase of Gandhi).
Trump? Didn't you hear? He just accused Ted Cruz, his wife, and his kids as evolving from fish.

" sent to us to force the world to follow the dark cult of THE FALLEN ANGEL" I don't think we need to bring Ted Cruz into this.
Good question. Why would you think that? S. Korea or Japan is much closer. Or the Aleutians if they are desperate to see American women.
I doubt the U.S. would waste a torpedo on that tub.
Stop watching TV, it is bad for you.
