Great idea, we should hold a rally and try and get every Ashley Madison subscriber (and their spouses) to write their elected officials to get the laws changed...
I think a key motive is simple. Try to get people from using cheap Walmart wi-fi routers and get something more reliable. Because most people will blame their ISP or website if their wi-fi sucks. With a good connection that means more you tube and allows Google to implement more streaming type services.
A few points:
Most home wifi users simply use the wifi router their ISP provides, and in those cases where the ISP-provided link and router are sub-optimal, blaming the ISP is perfectly appropriate.
The Google router costs $200, and it is designed to replace free/$40 routers? News flash - there have been business-class wifi routers available for years with gigabit interfaces, dual band support, multiple SSIDs, and QoS. This is nothing new.
The average home user has wifi bandwidth that is already multiples of the advertised bandwidth of their ISP connection - faster/better wifi doesn't solve slow downloads. Speeding up the last mile doesn't speed up every other mile between you and your streaming server.
Google wants to put a $200 computer in your house, and they want you to pay for it.
What was wrong with Katrina-era models? We knew several days before it hit shore how bad Katrina was going to be... The issue was the pitiful evacuation, not the lack of advance notice.
As for degrees getting in the way, when you're applying for a job that you believe the company may see as "too easy" for you, put that you're seeking the expected salary range in trade for new/novel/exciting.
It's a CV - you don't have to list every degree you've earned. Is an employer going to fire you for having a 'secret' masters degree?
Also, it is a reasonable thing to address the elephant in the room, why an over-qualified candidate wants the job. For example, shorter commute, new technology, new challenges, etc.
I once had to apply for a job THREE times, my first two resumes were tossed as over-qualified. Only when I walked into the HR office to drop off my third resume in-person which included a cover letter that specifically stated I understood the pay was modest and the position was part-time did I get an interview. I had a very productive and happy five year run at that job until I choose to move out of state.
Simple question - how can voter fraud be proven if you don't check a voter's ID?
In some states it is actually illegal for a poll worker that suspects a potential voter is not who they claim to be to ask that potential voter for ID...
Homeless people can typically have 'mailing addresses' at homeless shelters for free... They get assistance checks, and other important mail sent there.
You need photo ID to enter a FEDERAL courthouse, not your county courthouse.
You need photo ID to apply for state assistance, 'free' Obamacare healthcare coverage, and to attend a speech where Eric Holder (our then head of the DoJ) insists that it is racist to require voters to prove their identity... Seriously.
You can't enter the White House without photo ID, you typically can't cash a check without photo ID, can't board a plane without photo ID, nor can you buy certain over-the-counter cold medicines without photo ID, lest you be considered a 'smurf' collecting pills for someone cooking meth.
You need photo ID to apply for a job, to open a bank account to deposit your paycheck into, and you need photo ID to file for unemployment.
And birth certificates are given to new parents when their child is born - they only have to pay for a copy of their birth certificate if they lost the original.
If their home is their RV (or truck, or whatever), then they have a driver's license...
Problem solved.
About those 'homeless pilots' - wouldn't they too have something called a Pilot's License?
An actual homeless person can likely establish a legal residence at a homeless shelter, thus giving them an address for ID (and gov't benefits).
Seems to me you have decided Voter ID is a problem, but fail to recognize you can't come up with an example that demonstrates your pre-conceived (yet non-existent) problem.
Limiting voting to citizens is a good thing.
Requiring Photo ID (which courts insist is available for free) is a reasonable way to accomplish the limiting of voting to citizens.
(You didn't do this, but) Declaring that the poor, minorities, and elderly are somehow incapable of securing and retaining state-issued ID is insulting to the poor, minorities and the elderly.
... or all the money spent to save the country from the results of tycoons like him that caused the banking crisis?
Trump owns neither a bank nor a stock brokerage, how did HE cause the banking crisis?
Last time I checked the banking crisis was caused by a federal government that viewed home ownership as a civil right and forced banks to underwrite riskier and riskier home mortgages (zero percent down? borrow 120% of appraised value on a home?) AND then guarantee those loans if they go tits-up...
The problem is that every program that exists has been created was done so with political support and you can't kill it because it still has someone from Congress or the Senate getting upset.
Reminds me of Sen. Harry Reid, standing in the well of the US Senate, explaining that we can't cut government programs, because every job cut impacts an actual person that loses their job...
No, the issue is the environmental studies - remember the "shovel-ready jobs" Obama funded with hundreds of billions of (borrowed) dollars in his first term? It went from a job creation initiative to a punch-line on late-night TV in about a year. The issue there wasn't funding - funding is easy.
So wait, we should evaluate Presidential Candidates based on their performance in private industry BEFORE running for office?
Republicans were mocked for doing just that in 2012 and 2008, you know pointing out that Obama never held a private-sector job, never led anything, and never had to make a payroll before becoming the leader of the free world... Or pointing out Romney's success in the private AND public sector (Romney Care? Salt Lake City Olympics? etc.)?
Spy satellite photos are ALWAYS classified, as is 'signal intelligence' - both were found in the 40 emails reviewed so far. Even if the other 29,960 emails she turned over are not classified, those emails were classified simply by the nature of their contents.
She doesn't get to argue intent.
She doesn't fet to argue ignorance of applicable law - she sent emails to every member of state telling them not to do what she did regarding work on private email servers.
Setting up that server was an intentional act, whatever her motivation was - she claim it was an 'accident'.
Tell you what, go back and re-read the article substituting Dick Cheney for Hillary Clinton and Vice President for Secretary of State and let me know if you would support Cheney the same way you support Clinton...
Remember how her Rose Law billing records 'mysteriously' just appeared on the table in the Private a Residence portion of the White House? The Private a Residence is, arguably, one of the most secure places in the a White House, which is, arguably, one of the most secure buildings in the world...

He knew he was gay, he knew it was punishable by death if discovered where he lives, and he trusted his secret to a Canadian website.

That would work, right?

A Texan working in Ohio can vote in Ohio - he just can't also vote in Texas in the same election cycle.
If they had proper ID to register to vote, why can't they be asked to produce THE SAME DOCUMENTATION to actually vote?
How is it NOT racist to require ID to register to vote, yet racist to ask voters to bring that same documentation to the polls?
Remember this poll worker? She insisted she did nothing wrong...

Which part of this (direct quote from Trump, in the brief summary above) makes you think Trump isn't concerned about our infrastructure:

Bankruptcy is a tool used by corporations - GM was bankrupt a few years ago, but they still seem to be putting out cars last I checked.

So Secretary of State Clinton never sent or received ANY classified emails during her entire tenure? Ever?
Why did she have an email account? So she could get pictures of her granddaughter in designer dresses and yoga routines?
