You might also want to look for news stories about dubious use of absentee ballots in St. Louis City elections. Either people who vote absentee have a natural predilection for voting for the status quo, or somebody has some 'splaining to do.
Black Americans have been at the forefront of this patriotic effort to keep Social Security solvent (well, solvert-ish-er), by not living as long as average.
Nobody said anything like that, but for real anyone working hard to defend the legitimacy of Russia Today is probably a traitor.
Nobody was working hard to defend the legitimacy of Russia Today, Anonymous Coward.
Rather than go down that infinite regress, why not address the topic at hand: The U.S. government seems to be surveilling the holy hell out of Seattle.
For a time, a previous employer (or was it my current one?) outsourced to a company in rural (very rural) northern Missouri. (Yes, I realize the redundancy. There's one county near the Iowa border that has fewer people than my high school had students.)
It seemed to work OK, but it came to an end for some reason I don't recall. Probably bureaucracy.
Yep. Go into that overseas factory, stack those jobs up on pallets, secure them in shrink wrap, load the pallets into containers, load 'em onto cargo ships, sail them across the sea, unload those containers, transport them to empty factories, unload the jobs into those factories, and put Amurricans back to work,
Yes, I know the "bringing those jobs back to the US" is a metaphor. A clueless one, but very popular.
"Idiocracy", despite much anecdotal evidence, is not a documentary. Neither was "The Marching Morons" nor "The Little Black Bag".
Correllation. Causation. Usual remark regarding A and B both correlating with C.
As places get more prosperous, the birth rate goes down. Education goes up. (Or at least, schooling does.) Countries often have a mix of places during their transitions.
Come to think of it, this is just an instance of Herbert Stein's Law, though not an obvious one. "If something cannot go on forever, it will stop."
There are groups of people and institutions which suffer bad consequences due to this failure of vastly inferior engineering colleges to meet minimum expectations. These people and institutions have an incentive to figure out what to do about it, and do it. And have incentives to quit doing things that don't work or work so well they are no longer necessary.
Whoever would be in charge of mandating internships -- especially if it's a government or quasi-government agency -- would operate under a different set of incentives.
Being successful may not be at the top of its list of things to consider. (Or even on the list.)
Abolishing itself after unremitting failure (or spectacular success) definitely isn't.
I wonder why the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) didn't simply publish statistics showing unemployment rates for graduates of engineering colleges? (Or just the ones that don't suck?) That seems an obvious approach.
But I don't wonder much.
Seems like a great opportunity for a company like Yelp.
Unless I'm misinterpreting "Budapest's public transportation authority" or this is a mistranslation, we're talking a government agency, or a business enterprise wholly owned by a government or set of governments.
Not a corporation in the usual sense of a company with stockholders who can sell their shares, but more like a "corporation" such as the FDIC or FSLIC.
That's why I support Net Neutrality, even though I don't know what it is, who is to be punished for doing what, how violators are to be caught, how selective prosecution is to be avoided, what it wasn't needed in the past, and why it is suddenly necessary now.
And of course, anything that is "for the children".

Some of that explaining happened in court. It did not go well for the accused.

I'm afraid you're going to have to be more specific.

Nice to see Americans in general pitching in.
If you worked for Google, you'd just get fired for a politically-incorrect statement.
Are you sure you want me to do this? It might cause you a brain cramp.
Surely by now someone someone should have posted a link to this: http://www.theonion.com/articl...
Slashdot, I'm very disappointed in you.

Good thing? Bad thing? WTF?

Care to share your reasoning, Mr. C.?

Unlike everyone else, who loves taxes.
Well, some simultaneously hate paying taxes, but love it when other people are taxed.
And a very rare few who love being taxed so much, they pay extra, just because.
Apparently, Warren Buffet and Bill Gates are not among that last group.

Golly! A politician doing something hinky for political reasons! Inconceivable!
Alert the media!
Oh, wait a sec. A Democrat? Never mind.

I have nothing to say.
Never try to help souless corporation.

Government-owned business operates badly. Who could have expected that?
Anyone who knows much about the Soviet Union, for starters.
That contract was just an Area 51 thing. Nothing to see here. Move along, move along.
Time to watch that Woody Allen documentary, "Sleeper", again.
Isn't someone in Saudi Arabia supposed to lasso a suitably-sized iceberg and drag it home, to be melted for its fresh water?
He's probably waiting for it to break up into more manageable chunks, and tow one of them.

With Trump at the helm we're now failing the American version of America.
It didn't start with Trump, of course.
As someone who has read the Constitution and observed the government, it's obvious to me America has been failing for quite some time.
"No longer".
Good one.
Not that there's anything wrong with an organization having a political agenda, including a news organization.
Unless, of course, they claim they don't.
But it's pretty easy to detect and expose such dishonesty, generally.
