The proposal was to take more wealth from estates. That means the guy who earned it is dead.
It might mean the guy who earned it is dead, but it that isn't the exclusive meaning, or even the principal meaning, of the word 'estate'. Consider consulting a dictionary before accusing people of strawman arguments based upon your opinion of word meanings.
uVerse wasn't an option due to my distance from the CO.
U-Verse isn't an option for anyone any more, as ATT has stopped accepting new subscribers. They haven't kicked off the existing subscriber base yet, but you can bet that day is coming.
Opinion stated as fact. Nice work. And regarding "not with a majority of the popular vote", give it up. You sound like a football coach complaining that his team lost the game despite gaining more rushing yards than their opponent.
While it's true that given enough time all businesses fail, we're talking about startups here, not speculating about the heat death of the universe.
Actually, about 80% of new businesses survive their first year; 69%, their second year; 61%, their third year. After 5 years it's down to just under 50%, and after 20 years it's around 20%. Of course, that's ALL new businesses, not just the Silicon Valley unicorn-hunter variety. More info here.
Are the control systems at plants not isolated from the outside world?
If not, why not?
It seems obvious that they should be.
From TFA (yeah, I know; too bad TFS didn't mention this small detail): "The safety and control systems for the nuclear reactor and other vital plant components are not connected to business networks or the internet," Wolf Creek spokeswoman Jenny Hageman said in a statement. "The plant continues to operate safely."
No kidding? You actually need to graduate high school to get into college? Color me shocked.
The original poster posited a "vicious circle" in which you need to get college acceptance to get the HS diploma you need to get college acceptance. Since in the Chicago case you just have to demonstrate that you have a plan, I'm sure a conditional acceptance would fill the need.
Barely living above poverty on a six-figure income, dreaming of the day you could actually afford to buy a house or save for retirement is a rather unique climate that is somehow justified with little more than Califuckinawesome weather...
I already do that on a five-figure income in Silicon Valley.
Hate to break it to you, but US poverty line income is five figures ($22,162 for a family of four with two children under 18).
If you want a phone that isn't a consumerist piece of trash that you'll throw in the garbage in two years, you need to go with Apple. I don't know why Google fanbois hate the environment so much, but they should get some ethics and some taste.
This is more than a bit specious, given the average iPhone user's propensity for upgrading whenever a new model is released.
The problem is that these are not "entry positions". They are the only jobs available for people trying to support a family. They don't pay enough for one person to live on and certainly not enough to support a family.
Funny... "simply look for the next job and find one that pays more"
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2.7% of workers hold minimum wage jobs. So probably not the only jobs available, don't you think? I'd also like to hear from the people who believe that giving a small pay increase to such a tiny fraction of the labor force will have a significant effect upon the "velocity of money ".
I don't care to research them, but suffice to say Trump has been covered/reported on in Time magazine, and I'm not sure if the articles cited on the fake Time cover are real, and if real were from the issue with the fake cover photo.
Finally, it's odd and embarrassing that the photos/fake covers were on the wall at some of his golf clubs, but does it, in any meaningful way, matter?
I've been chuckling at the people who seem to think that vanity magazine covers never existed before the whole "Trump fake Time cover!!!" baloney. You can even get an app for your phone apps that will create these things.
Unlike the summary suggests, the Volvo is not a driverless car.
It's not just the summary. The TFA is entitled, "Volvo's driverless cars 'confused' by kangaroos", and contains such suggestive phrases as, "Volvo's self-driving technology is struggling to identify kangaroos in the road" and "the problem would not delay the rollout of driverless cars in the country".
The good thing is that the car's sensors and algorithms can be fixed. It sounds like it's mostly a case of Volvo overlooking the effect of jumping animals. According to the Volvo information about their autonomous cars, they have camera, radar, laser, and ultrasonic sensors. With the right algorithms, the car should be much better than a human at detecting animals at night, and respond much quicker too.
According to TFA, Volvo has been working on this problem for two years. I'm guessing the "right algorithms" have been right around the corner for some time now.
Were you really in such a hurry to troll that you couldn't apply some basic reading comprehension, or did you comprehend but were just overwhelmingly infuriated at his omission of what would have been a helpful comma after "to"?
Go to google.com.
Click the 'Shopping' tab.
Type in product to search for.
See many different products from multiple vendors.
So, what's the problem?
Click on the little circled 'i' beside "Merchant links are sponsored".

Products and offers that match your query. Google is compensated by these merchants. Payment is one of several factors used to rank these results. These results are based on your current search terms and may be based your visits to other websites.
The EU court apparently believes that merchants who don't pay Google to display their products in Shopping should have their products displayed along with the products offered by merchants who do pay Google.
You would also disprove about 90% of Earths religions
Nah. The Christian religions would just cite John 10:16 ("And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.") and be about their business. And I'm sure the non-Christians would find a way to rationalize alien life as well. There's just too much money and power at stake to give up easily.
"first televised interracial kiss" No, that's a myth. Star Trek did NOT give us the first interracial kiss.
The first known interracial kiss on television was in a British broadcast of the play, "You In Your Small Corner", which aired in the UK in 1962. The first interracial kiss on American network television was in the episode "Plato's Stepchildren," which aired on 22 Nov 1968, when Captain Kirk (William Shatner) kissed Lieutenant Uhura (Nichelle Nichols). The Star Trek kiss was widely believed to be the first interracial kiss on any television broadcast ever, until the "rediscovery" in 2015 of the British broadcast.
like many laws passed in this state by the environmental left it has been co-opted to by wealthy NIMBYs and misguided do-gooders
I think you mean, like many laws passed in this state by the environmental left, it was poorly written, opened the door to many unintended consequences, and was pushed through in a hurry to give its sponsors the appearance that they were "doing the right thing".

You seem to be confused about the difference between anger and disgust.
NET Income Tax is illegal.
GROSS is not.
Fantastic. Let me know when you come up with a way to tax my gross income without affecting my net.
Opinion stated as fact. Nice work. And regarding "not with a majority of the popular vote", give it up. You sound like a football coach complaining that his team lost the game despite gaining more rushing yards than their opponent.

Need diploma to get college acceptance..
Spoken like someone who never got a college acceptance. Most college applications are due well before the end of the last year of high school.

2. I have also never faked a Time magazine with myself on the cover and put it on the wall at work, and neither has anyone I know
If you google "put yourself on time magazine cover" (no quotes) you get dozens of websites that allow you to do just that, for any number of magazines... this isn't some fringe thing Trump invented.
I don't care to research them, but suffice to say Trump has been covered/reported on in Time magazine, and I'm not sure if the articles cited on the fake Time cover are real, and if real were from the issue with the fake cover photo.

Bonus points for defense not having enough dismissals to get rid of all the disgruntled Comcast customers who are called for jury duty.
Nice sentiment; however, there are no limitations on juror dismissal for cause. Only peremptory dismissals are limited.
And the first season of True Detectives.

4MHz? Even a Nintendo Game Boy is faster than that.
The original IBM XT was clocked at 4.77 MHz. Not a barn-burner, but it started a revolution.
Trump accused in obstruction investigation means Trump accused someone of obstruction.
Trump thinks it means exactly that.
Yeah, poor reading comprehension can be found in all walks of life.
