I think you mean republic, not democracy. The former is a representative system with some democratic aspects. The latter is mob rule and tyranny of the majority.
I was born in 1968, and just missed out on the vaccination back then. However, before going to Afghanistan in 2006, I had to get a smallpox vaccine.
Fortunately, I had it easy since I never had it before, and it was only like 2 or 3 pokes. Those who did get it when they were little for some reason received considerably more than us first timers.
And (yes, I am going there, because based on the Many Worlds hypothesis of the multiverse; this is the universe where I post this) a lot more LGBTWhatever focused content.
Wal-Mart needs to hire a skilled marching band sousaphone player for each scooter they have. And then when someone uses a scooter who is just fat and not actually disabled, they get followed around the store accompanied by this little ditty.
If they are that concerned about their fat customers, make those scooters require proof that the customer is qualified to park in a handicap space. If they are not, then they get a cart or a basket and must walk through the aisles like any other able bodied person.
But no. Next thing these fuckers will focus on developing are Buy 'n Large hover chairs ala Wall-E instead.
Beat me to it. I was just about to post "Sounds like Made-up Statistics". I used to download music from piratebay, but not anymore. I get a ton of song in my Amazon Prime account, and if the song is not there, it's available from Youtube or Vimeo or some other legitimate source.

So basically the modern version of Cassette-recording off the radio. Even if the stream-ripping was blocked, these people have NO intention of buying the music legally. Claiming these customers as "lost sales" is ridiculous. (Especially since many of them are children or teens with no money.)
.
And for many, a lot of this piracy is merely retroactive backups of stuff they had legally acquired years ago anyway, and can't be arsed to do the digitizing themselves. Whatever.
Could it be that stronger privacy laws in the EU are why you never see Chrome Books there? Remember, these are devices from a company that thrives on selling out its users to any advertiser who will pay them enough.

I think it comes from the plane that all righteous flies and unrighteous spiders (those not worthy of Spider Valhalla go to); The Infinite Turd.

Thank you. That is a much clearer way to describe it than I could come up with.
Actually, the wages are part of the greater operating costs. Profit is simply what is left over from all of that.

And that is why vampires should not be able to come out at all, even at night; unless the sky is totally overcast or it is new moon.
The moonlight is still sunlight after all, even when reflected onto us; so moonlight should snuff out a vampire as easily as sunlight.
Science vs the supernatural. Science wins, bitches. (But it rarely wins bitches)

Perhaps it uses the same tech as those BMI readers that can tell how fat you are without needing to weigh you.
Like I posted in the Alexa article earlier...

Faraday Gloves... That sounds like a good name for such an invention.

Keeping a copy locally though ensures it is available for your listening pleasure after it does suddenly vanish from YouTube.

That's easy: Anonymous Coward. Like, duh.
They obviously greased the right palms, and managed to get away with it.
They paid off the right people, perhaps? Who knows?

All I have to say is...

I just realized, with a rectal thermometer; you technically get mercury in uranus.
Planet 9? Planet 9? Planet 9?

Turn me on, Uranus. Turn me on, Uranus. Turn me on, Uranus.
