Since the beginning of the current 'crisis' the fed has dumped between 1-1.5 trillion dollars on the market to try and help alleviate the problem. Now, eventually this will cause inflation. Probably. Except everybody else has done much the same thing so maybe not. Anyway, my point is, we could absorb writing off all the current Chinese debt if we had to.
Costco wouldn't be a worst case scenario because they tend to have a lot of floor space compared to their inventory. A normal grocery store has much less area dedicated to empty space between the registers and the rest of the store.
I was moderating this topic, but I'm going to have to burn those mod points to point out just how fucking stupid of an equivocation the phrase " In most of the US you don't have to join a union to work in a union shop. Now, you have to pay the same costs as dues to support the infrastructure (stewards, negotiators, etc) that benefits you, but you don't have to actually join the union." is. That is seriously the dumbest fucking sentence above an 8th grade reading level I think I've seen someone write.
It wasn't that old woman's first time at the rodeo. She had imbibed McDs coffee before and knew how scalding hot it was, yet she still decided to grip it between her legs and wrestle with the lid in a car with sweatpants on. If she were a guy, that might very well have been Darwin award worthy.
You can't really 'modify' a modern sub to have quieter propulsion. The system is literally built into the hull of the ship. It would probably be only marginally more expensive to just build entire new boats than to do a modification to existing boats.
The government takes plenty of drug money through asset forfeiture. Especially in Florida, where the fast boats confiscated by the coast guard generally get bought by relatives/friends of the drug dealer who they were confiscated from.
Item 1, the housing bubble actually started before the dot-com bubble was even a dream, and merely accelerated exponentially during the late '90s and 00's. Item 2, when the dot-com bubble crashed, everybody who made it out with assets looked to put those assets into something. Real estate was very, very hot. Item 3, the infusion of dot-com money along with the tricks that were originally introduced to mitigate the pain of lawsuit avoiding but with high risk of default loans caused the bubble to inflate extremely quickly. Item 4, Bush tried to partially lance the bubble(It wouldn't have completely worked, although the actual crash may have been a bit softer) on at least 2 separate occasions, but was shouted down by the Dem peanut gallery, and Barney Frank in particular. Moreover, Bush didn't consider it important enough to expend significant political capital on, an obvious mistake on his part.
Or it could be that this is utter bullshit. Seeing as insulators are bigger and MUCH more stable targets the probability of hunters regularly shooting the cables instead of the insulators is slim to none. Once or twice, perhaps. Not on a regular basis however. Given rainfall/snow and wind patterns in Oregon during fall and early winter it's much more likely to be weather related.
My numbers assume that official inflation has been calculated correctly for the last 7 years ago as well, which is kinda unlikely. Much more probable to assume the numbers should be a bit higher.
Soo, you want us to destroy and rebuild Western Europe, Japan, and China again? I suppose we could do that. Also, 200,000 in 1944 was equivalent to 2 and a half million dollars. In '63 400,000 was equivalent to almost 3 million dollars. Which means that the tax actually brought in trivial amounts of money because the number of people making that a year in the US at the time wouldn't have numbered over 100.
Is someone producing lead spaceships that I don't know about? Any slingshot maneuver that would return the craft to earth in a remotely expedient matter would fry the occupants.
Technically true as Man will never fly until we build large enough habitats on the moon and start genetically engineering people to have wings. Bat wings would probably be easier than bird wings.
Sooo, we need to figure out how to drop comets into the ocean while at the same time slowing them down enough to mitigate the effects of the ensuing tidal wave. Where exactly would we get rocket boosters that big?

Don't forget they are quite good at rape and killing porpoises and infants from rival males.

Exactly, let me know when they come up with a handheld neutrino detector.
Uncut mainlined sarcasm I suspect.

Illinois not being one of them. The are most definitely a "you're joining the union bub" state.

The law allowing gun carry in national parks.
Belgian mid to upper class from the late 1800s actually. So neither farmer nor anglo-saxon.
Not true, you can ask for definitions and such, but it has to be an approved source.

Yeah, those dastardly deacons for defense members killed a whole lot of white folk
But the 6000 series consumes so much less power than the 5000 series it's not funny. Same for heat.

Not really, the government was just jealous. The only Ponzi schemes allowed to operate are their own.

But only if those looking on understand anything about the game, which the AC clearly does not.
The people in control of the government are overwhelmingly arab.
