It just passed the House via voice vote. The Senate is all that's left. And if it passed via voice vote, it'll probably get unanimous consent in the Senate.
Obviously this is not the case because the AC spoke of bank runs being "such a problem". I don't know about you but every few weeks we have a bank run in my town, which is why I keep all of my money under my mattress.
Sometimes I think that we're being inundated with people from the 1920s every time a cryptocurrency story appears.
In every American major professional league except baseball, the star players will play unless there is a significant injury. So basically people are betting against the injury report that teams must provide.
Especially in basketball, the top teams will rest their star players once they've clinched their playoff seeding. Some even do so when they play two games in two days because the science shows that people are more likely to be injured if they are fatigued. In football this only happens in the last two games at best due to the shortened season; each game matters. In soccer, weeknight games often feature a lower quality lineup.
The civil war is a great example. The reason for doing it was to centralize federal power particularly for the Presidency both direct and financial. The justification was freeing slaves.
Columbus, OH, kind of. We have two providers (Spectrum & WOW) both with their own set of wires. We'll never get more than two, though. It's not worth it to build out the infrastructure and convince people to switch.
I know I'm a bit behind the times but when I was in school in the aughts, my TA was doing research on how to overcome the large amount of clock skew you'd have on such fast chips. It seems like a 5 GHz chip would have problems with that.
I assume that in your country you have a parliamentary system where a loss of supply is impossible (and would cause an election). In our system... well it doesn't work that way. Some executive departments have no legal authority to spend money because Congress has not appropriated any.
Setting aside whose fault this is, it can continue indefinitely. There is no override to break the stalemate. Congress must pass something the President will sign or provide enough votes to override his veto.
We have a cert at my employer that expires on Christmas day. Every two years our websites go down for a day or two until the guy who is in charge of it gets back in.
When you have a culture of "that's not my problem" to such an extent, it's pretty normal for things like this to happen.
Yes. More people are a net benefit to society as a whole, but they may displace people locally. This, outside of old fashioned racism, is the tension in our immigration system.
Yes, working for an industry that deals with insurance companies really opened my eyes to how it all works.
There's basically a list price and an allowable amount. Different insurance companies negotiate different allowable amounts, but the amount the provider bills them is generally the list price. The list price basically made up, but it's so high that no one in their right mind would pay it. If your insurance company isn't in network, there is no contract so the provider bills that list amount, the insurance company pays some lowball amount and you get hit with the rest of the bill.
Because the provider has the ability they will often intentionally miscode a bill so that it's out of network, hoping that they can come after you for the full list amount. They will also lie about what's covered and tell you that your insurance doesn't cover something so they can try to get paid more. Most people don't know the game, so they just shrug and make a payment plan.
The insurance companies are not helping, but really it's the providers that should shoulder the most blame.
Fair enough. I consider a problem "solved" when it doesn't exist anymore.
Here's something that should never happen. No one should ever go bankrupt due to medical bills. Not "if they do this one neat trick", they'll have a good chance of not going bankrupt. I mean in 100% of circumstances, no one should ever go bankrupt.
Sure, I'm not losing sleep either, but if Google is making useless changes to their websites in order to specifically screw with Edge, that's bad. If they are making useful changes to their websites...and it happens to screw with Edge. Not really their problem. Of course I didn't RTFA, so I can't really say which is which.
We basically solved the retirement problem with the 401(k) system.
No...The median American has a 401k balance of about 75k. I don't know about you, but I could probably live on that for 2 years. Many people have zero retirement outside of social security.
Your comment on healthcare is reasonable, but I had to stop and reply on the 401k thing.
Don't feel bad. You're right and he's wrong. Inflation is not simply the amount of money in circulation. No one outside of a few cranks believes this. Properly understood (and Wikipedia properly understands) "In economics, inflation is a sustained increase in the general price level of goods and services in an economy over a period of time."
The amount of money in circulation is related to inflation but it is not itself inflation.
Yeah, that's based on international law and norms. However, if a superior orders someone to arrest a diplomat, the diplomat will be arrested. It's not like the handcuffs won't lock or something.
We're so far off the reservation right now, I could easily see the FBI arresting a diplomat and holding them for an extended stay. We're getting pretty close to the point that there are no consequences for high level executive branch employees breaking the law.
They don't have to buy them out. My employer can fire us all tomorrow an not pay us anything more than the money they owe us for Monday and Tuesday. Sixty weeks severance is pretty nice.

I expect, the IRS native solution would end up being usable, but clunky
Yes. We have this for Ohio taxes. The Ohio website is not great, but it is usable. Of course, they allow you to use H&R Block/TurboTax/etc.

It's a brave new world, no doubt.
No.

It happens more often than you think.

This is exactly why I run Folding@Home in the winter months.

Trump could rape a blond-haired, blue-eyed little girl on live TV while burning an American flag and he wouldn't be removed from office.

Shhh! They didn't teach that at MBA school!
How quaint. You think that the President admitting that he committed a crime would ultimately lead to impeachment and removal.
Not really, and I used it pretty regularly. It had some predictive AI built in, but it was just another messaging app using whatever protocol.
All people want is something that is:
1) Secure
2) Has a first-class web client
3) Falls back to SMS
