It's the same thing. If you've got thousands of people moving to NYC, and they're all living there, essentially tax-free, that's a massive, massive burden on the city. Tax money goes to pay for basic services, of which NYC can barely maintain as is.
My wife and I are both professionals, with no children, and we choose where to live largely based on the public transit available. We won't move to a place without public transit. I don't think we're alone. I think good public transit is almost always a benefit to an economy.
I'm in NC. The only good part of the state is the liberal RTP area (with high taxes and great education). The rest is a shithole. I suspect the same of TX and UT, too.
What are these magical low-tax states with educated workforces and low taxes that you speak of? Last I heard, it takes tax money to create educated people.
Is it any wonder that leftist policies universally have lead to bankruptcy and mass death?
Yeah, look at California and Massachusetts. They're shitholes compared to the splendor of hard right leaning places like South Carolina, West Virginia, Kansas..
Again. Compared to invading and occupying Middle Eastern countries for decades, that's still, relatively, pretty small potatoes. It's rail track. It's not a fucking trip to the moon.
Boy, if there's anything that says "privacy, reliability, efficiency, and security", it's "Twitter", "Square", and "Bitcoin". Sign me up! I've got money to waste!
He was supposedly just moving money around (was it legal? I don't know), but I wouldn't give that amount of money to some unknown, startup company even for a millisecond. That amount of money only gets moved around from credit union to credit union with wires, as far as I'm concerned. I wouldn't even do a cashier's check for that amount of money.
"So we had to get very, very tough on cyber and cyber warfare. It is a huge problem. I have a son—he’s 10 years old. He has computers. He is so good with these computers. It’s unbelievable. The security aspect of cyber is very, very tough. And maybe, it's hardly doable. But I will say, we are not doing the job we should be doing. But that’s true throughout our whole governmental society. We have so many things that we have to do better, Lester. And certainly cyber is one of them."
This has the smell of yet another chicken-little, panic-the-plebes boost-your-power propaganda operation.
First off, congrats for being able to smell academic papers. I have to read them with my eyes, and then interpret them with my brain. I wish I could just smell them. That would certainly save a lot of time.
Secondly, who gets what sort of power from this paper that you smelled?
1. The whole "Commie" thing makes you sound stupider than your ideas already are.
2. I never said people couldn't pay for schools. If people want to, they should. They should do it without public money, though.
3. Wait... and you use "Goebbels", too? Are you calling me a "Commie" or a "Nazi"? Do you even know the difference, or are you just some Trump-loving uneducated hick who doesn't know what words mean?
No, I'm interesting in raising everybody UP to the lowest level. In the US, the rich don't give two shits about the poor, and that's wrong. The US has become a culture of, "I've got mine. Fuck you". Education should not come down to money. That's immoral, and it's stupid from a society aspect.
People like you lie and call any attempt at giving poor people a decent standard of living "Communism". Fuck you.
The difference is that the credit unions are answerable to ME. I'm an owner. Credit unions are member-owned non-profits. The banks are answerable to the shareholders. They don't care about me. It's a tremendous difference. My credit unions don't charge me fees, pay me great interest, and I can get them on the phone 24/7. I have yet to see a bank that comes anywhere close to that.
Studies show that when poor kids have to go to school with rich kids, then educational funding evens out, and everybody gets a comparable education.
Studies show that when funds are diverted to charter schools, the public schools get less funding. And invariably, it's the poor kids who remain in public schools, because their families can't pay for the difference between the tuition for charter schools and the vouchers being given out.
"School choice" = public funds helping to subsidize private educations for wealthy kids = taking money away from public schools
Ir's an awesome marketing ploy. There's tremendous gadget addiction (at least in the US right now), and some people are starting to realize it, so why not make an app that lets people pretend they're tacking their addiction, while in reality, they're getting even more addicted? That is fucking genius (and evil).
Oh, you're talking about school vouchers. Yeah, I think they suck and they lead to uneven and unfair outcomes for poor and minority students. All students should have to go to public schools. Only then do students all get equivalent quality educations.
Self-care and wellness applications for smartphone devices have been booming. Meditation apps, like Headspace and Calm, have grown into huge successes on app stores by helping consumers manage anxiety and stress.
Instead of using an app, how about turning off your fucking phone? Jesus. We don't tell heroin addicts that they'll feel better with a little more heroin. People need to turn their phones off, or even better, get rid of them completely. Almost nobody NEEDS a smartphone for anything.

One sentence has two completely different, unrelated ideas? I doubt that.

Did you mean that Bitcoin is "none" of those? Because it is exactly none of those things.

Me, I do socially acceptable addictions that are common in Seattle instead.
What's that? Smart phone addiction?

I understand statistics very well, thanks. If you're not scared, it's clear that you don't.

Their browsers have been fine for the past few decades. You must be thinking of the 90's.
Regardless, it's better to have THREE options for browsers than TWO.

Damn it, that was my fault. Boldfacing is plenty enough. I was just momentarily dumb.

In my experience, when credit unions make a mistake, they fix it. The depositors are the owners of credit unions.
In my experience, when banks make a mistake, the depositors pay for the mistake. They don't care about the smaller depositors.
Oh, you're talking about school vouchers. Yeah, I think they suck and they lead to uneven and unfair outcomes for poor and minority students. All students should have to go to public schools. Only then do students all get equivalent quality educations.
This article is beyond stupid.
