Stories always show the highest possible prison term. Likely, he could trade a plea for much less time but I don't think he should be allowed to avoid some decent amount of jail time (a couple of years at least).
In the USA, the PC rules for what makes you Latino are simple. If you are a descendant of anyone who came from a Spanish or Portuguese speaking country, you are Latino (Hispanic is gradually falling out of favor, soon to join "Chicano").
These FAA employees are what's known as "public servants" and they are apparently more honorable than the Republican senators who ran out of town on vacation rather than fund the agency whose job is regulating air traffic and air safety.
You do realize that Democrats are a majority in the Senate, and that the decision to adjourn before addressing the FAA funding was done by the majority leader, right?
Why let facts get in the way of a good partisan rant.
If a company in the USA put WiFi routers all over a US city in "street side cabinets", they would probably be sued by anyone who goes near the cabinets then later gets any type of cancer (or slight cough probably).
EVERY automaker boss is thinking this right now: "54.5 is only the required average. That means I can still make gas guzzlers so long as there's some shitty little cars somewhere in the books that can do 100mpg. "
No, every automaker boss in thinking, "this is more than 10 years from now, I will be retired with a golden parachute long before we even worry about this."
You are being misleading by trying to represent the command given by one character in a parable that Jesus told as a command by Jesus himself to literally go and kill people.
All this crap about "investing" in education just serves to line fancy overpaid professors' pockets.
The problem isn't just fancy overpaid professors but bloated administration. From 1975 to 2008 the California State University system increased the number of faculty by 3% while increasing the number of administrators by 221% so that now there are more administrators than there are faculty.
In some states there are laws against secretly making audio recordings of people but not video or pictures. I recall a case a few years ago where a man rented a house to people with hidden cameras inside. He got busted because his video recordings had sound, else he would have gotten off.
Should be trivial to make a monitor with integrated short cables and where the stand folds into itself and fits nicely into a laptop bag, with maybe some kind of protective cover for the screen. Would seem a much simpler approach than this contraption.
Better yet, a protocol for allowing a wireless connection to an external monitor. If not through WiFi, maybe using some sort of IR?
I suspect the high cost of stringing lines to rural homes now is a lot cheaper than it would have cost over the years to keep all the failing rail roads afloat.
For some reason people love to glorify China right now because of their economic growth. China is basically a third world country with a privileged class that gets to live in the large cities, it's economy is so large because of the sheer size of the population.
China has passed the US in electricity production but their pollution controls are near non-existent.
Of course this is a monetary loss, something worth half a billion dollars was destroyed. The half billion was spent to create something of value, had it been spent on something else that was not lost, we would have spent the money and had something of value to show for it.
The calculation that will be made is what is the value that each new employee brings versus the added cost. If the cost per employee is $x up to 49 workers but on upon worker 50 the cost for all workers goes up by $y then the cost of worker number 50 is x+50y.
The 50th new worker has to add more value than his added cost plus the change in cost for the prior 49 workers. After that one worker, each additional worker only has to add x+y value.
We could have electric cars too, but the patents on many batteries are owned by petroleum industry corporations.
What patents? I have heard this type of thing before but I haven't really seen any convincing evidence that this was the case. Will these patents expire soon? Is there a list somewhere of all the game changing patents that the petroleum industry holds but doesn't allow anyone to use?
To use the Interstate Highways system for comparison think of this:
The highways go across the middle of nowhere but you still need main feeder roads and that "last mile" to get to a person's home. Not everyone is very close to the main roads or the Interstate and it gets expensive to pave and widen roads to every home, especially when a particular road might only have a very small number of homes on it.
Other things to think about: If you live right next to the Interstate but 10 miles from the nearest exit you are pretty much 10 miles from the Interstate. Wan traffic can be very distance sensitive so many times the bandwidth is much lower for the guy that is several miles from the Hub vs the guy on the same run but very close to the hub. It is expensive to put in a road or lay cable so if a road or cable is going to service very few people it might not get updated/re-paved very often. (roads wear over time while network technology improvements effectively make stuff that is state of the art become stale and seem slow within a few years.)
There are two types of Gas plants. One is essentially a steam plant much like coal but takes much longer to "spin up" than the other which is a giant gas powered jet engine bolted to the ground that can spin up very fast.
The first one is much more efficient and suitable for base load while the other is very fast to put into operation (during peaking) but less efficient.

It's the reason this will fail too.

It means you shouldn't pretend you are using a banana as a phone to make your kids laugh.

Male and female anatomy has some big differences.
Female circumcision is not in any way equivalent to to male circumcision.
I thought most people here kept a text file on standby with stuff they could copy and paste into any story about Gates or MS.

Just like it is easy to spend other peoples money via government, it is easier to make other people sacrifice to save the world via government.
It isn't right to treat factory workers like they work in IT just because they are building high-tech equipment.
Those country boys down in Georgia don't take too kindly to people rumigin' around in their corn fields.
Jimmy carter was an Engineer,
Presidents have been lawers ever since
I am pretty sure that only Clinton and Obama were Lawyers while Reagan, Bush and George W. were not.

Now there is a loophole so big you could drive a truck through it.
