When you say remote control shutoffs I suspect you mean an acoustic remote control. This wouldn't work at the depth below the surface that this well is, and the BOP has failed so catastrophically anyway that presumably whatever the remote control would trigger wouldn't work any better than the hydrologic lines the ROVs they're trying to use at the moment are hooked into.
ferries, channel tunnel, trains, automobiles, nope, just won't do... I have driven from London to Athens in less time than many of these people have been sat in airports wringing their hands... I also suspect that it may be CHEAPER to hire a car and drive back home, than to attempt to live in an airport for a week.
I guess you haven't been reading the stores about the Eurostar and the ferry companies having their busiest days ever. Or the thousand euro taxi rides many are resorting through. Have you considered that people would like to get a train or ferry but they're all booked up?
Or you could just teach your kids to be aware but not afraid of traffic and not to run into the road after a ball. And by the way, you seem to have some serious anger issues.
For those unaware, most of the GTA series is already developed in the UK, specifically at the Rockstar North offices in Edinburgh. Of course, as the summary points out, they need some more Britishness in the game to get the tax break (although, frankly, the government would do better to give them a tax break for not setting it in the UK).
I really don't understand how that's relevant. If you replace government with insurance company in:
In a universal care system, the government can mandate that only tests X, Y and Z may be performed for symptoms A and B, or that test X is only done once per year with as long as no symptoms are present.
Then that applies to a universal insurance system. And universal insurance is a type of universal healthcare anyway.
Spread out over the entire country, other people's ill health does affect you. The uninsured reduce the productivity of the country and when they require emergency hospitalisation for a treatable illness then the government will have to pay the bill. And by the way, socialism isn't a dirty word.
And without universal health care thousands of people will allow diseases to progress further because they can't afford to get it checked out. And then the treatment costs more, and since they weren't insured the government pays anyway.
That was ironically in the one part of the country that wouldn't benefit from the bill because their state already provides the bill's benefits! Pretending that the Massachusetts election is more representative than a general election is a strange contortion of logic. That also ignores the fact that the Democratic candidate was totally awful.
Yes, brain cancer is a real learning experience. Jesus Christ, what the hell is wrong with you? Frankly, yes, I believe everyone should be entitled to good health, or at least the best shot at that goal.
It could be a rabid dog, it could be a slip on ice, it could be a drunk driver. My point is that there are plenty of freak accidents that can befall you.
It is inadequate because it doesn't cover everyone. Adequate refers to 'satisfactory or acceptable in quality or quantity'. And I meant in terms of quantity, since if thousands of people are dying from a lack of it, healthcare is not adequate in quantity. You are the one who is arguing over my use of the word.

You agreed to buying it DRMd at the time. If you didn't like it you shouldn't have bought it.

What?
Oh wait, despite what the hyperbole of the summary may suggest this doesn't affect browsers on the Mac anyway.
Can't recall the last time I even used a Java applet. Just uncheck the box in preferences and forget about it.

The ones I've seen in the UK don't actually tell you your speed, they just flash the speed limit at you.

So then why doesn't that happen in other countries? Plenty of other places have universal health care, lower costs and longer life expectancy.
No way. You only have to look at a graph to see how absurd the difference is.

So why is per-capita spending on health care higher in the US than anywhere else, but with a lower life expectancy?
I think that a government option would work better too, but the senate is far to susceptible to obstructionism for that to get through.

Which part of my statement is untrue?
I don't know how many visits to a GP are needed to outweigh a month in the ICU, but I suspect it's quite a lot.
It could be a rabid dog, it could be a slip on ice, it could be a drunk driver. My point is that there are plenty of freak accidents that can befall you.
And you don't understand how sharing the burden of healthcare leads to a longer living, richer and more productive society.

Excuse me, that should be 'You can't have a welfare system without cheaters'. I regret the error.
