The problem is that a single company has a monopoly on that medicine
No, they don't - they hold a patent on the fool-proof spring-loaded syringe.
Doctors use epinephren on a regular basis, they just have to draw a dose from a medicine bottle and inject it properly. The EpiPen allows anyone to slam a dose into the leg of someone suffering without any training.
Please explain. From which Middle East country are our major oil companies stealing oil from - AFAIK every oil producing country in the Middle East is paid for every barrel of oil they produce.
...after defying authority? George Washington Thomas Jefferson Ben Franklin Etc...
You have heard of the Declaration of Independence, haven't you? The signatories of that document 'turned themselves in' by publicly announcing their intentions to 'defy (British) authority' - they didn't publish their treasonous document under a pseudonym or 'leak' them to the press. Their act of defiance was literallythe worst-kept secret in the 13 colonies at the time.
Conservatives don't care about the law, only what they can make political hay out of. I don't see them calling for the arrest and prosecution of whoever hacked the DNC emails, but if somebody did it to the RNC they'd be howling like mad.
Cute, but since hacking DNC email is clearly a crime (and no one is claiming otherwise), why the need for Republians (or anyone) to 'call for the arrest' of the hackers? Is it now the case that unless you specifically demand prosecution of a crime committed against others you are presumed to be supporting the crime/criminals that committed it?
Snowden is an anti authoritarian whistle blower, specifically about the authoritarianism that conservatives put in place after their utter failure to prevent 9/11.
Who ran Washington before Bush? (Democrats)
When did planning start for 9/11 attack? (Years before Bush took the oath of office)
Who made it harder for intelligence agencies to share information on suspects/investigations? (Hint: Not Republicans)
Before TSA was invented (in RESPONSE to 9/11) how do you imagine the federal government could have prevented 9/11? On 9/10 the 20 hijackers were simply men from the Middle East that we're learning to fly jet airplanes.
Can you imagine if a Democrat had been in office? And yet we never hear anybody talking about what a massive screw up that was.
Except for you, the 9/11 commission, and nearly anyone you ask - who doesn't think (in hindsight) the events leading up to 9/11 constitute a massive national security 'screw-up'?
Apparently when George Bush took the Oath of Office he accepted responsibility for every intelligence failure yet to be discovered from the previous administration...
They are building in the infrastructure to handle the traffic they expect in the future. Forward planning and all that. It's something that the west can't really do because the economic/commercial benefit of doing it today isn't great enough, but China thinks about the longer term.
Then you said:
That's kind of what I was getting at, although I'd point out that Japan has private property and a democratic government and still managed to build infrastructure better than most western countries.
They are't interchangeable, As far as property rights, democratic government, or infrastructure.
Our usage of lead-acid batteries is more toxic and we have a tremendous number of those being discarded each day
Your ignorance is showing. Lead-acid batteries are recycled, with recyclers typically paying a decent price for the 'dead' battery. BTW, it is also illegal to 'discard' lead-acid batteries - why not take a field trip down to your local auto repair shop and ask them how they discard lead-acid batteries?
Once all the ice melts, I think it will become a highly sought-out retirement destination - and retirees drive a lot of golf carts, which could be powered by Panasonic batteries.
largest lithium mine in USA is half an hour away...think on it a bit
Ok, I'll think on it a bit - will the factory take in raw, unprocessed lithium or will it go to a refining plant to prepare the lithium for manufacture?
With the mine 30 minutes away or 8 hours away, what is the difference? the lithium still needs to be loaded on to a truck at the mine and then unloaded at the factory - the only difference is the extended travel time, which is really quite cheap.
Deny it all you like, but the fact is that America is slowly but steadily moving towards more liberal social and political systems, not away from them.
The election and re-election of a novelty President ("The First Black President!"), Democrats (liberal) have lost both the house and senate since the 2010 election, but sure, convince yourself otherwise if it makes you feel better. Republicans (conservatives) have been winning elections since President Obama told them if they want their ideas to be considered they needed to start winning elections.
Avast didn't store the data they collected, but they did report statistics on which sites were accessed most frequently. "5.1 percent played Pokemon Go, while 0.7 percent used dating apps like Tinder, Grindr, OKCupid, Match and Meetup, and 0.24 percent visited pornography sites like Pornhub."
I'm impressed, I would have put those numbers much higher.
Right, because only a moron has their wireless device set to automatically re-connect to SSIDs they have previously connected to - if you read the excerpt above you'll see they used SSIDs identical to popular hotels, coffee shops, etc.
And of course, by moron I mean everyone that accepts the defaults on their iPhone, Android, other device.
And as he will soon discover, if he manages to become President, for all this talk of how bad illegal Mexican immigrants are, the agriculture industry of the border states would collapse without them.
Do the immigrants have to be illegal to work in agriculture? Why can't the positions be filled with the tens of thousands of legal immigrants we take in every year?
The reason Americans don't want those jobs is they don't pay what most Americans consider "living wages" (though, oddly millions of immigrants manage to live off them...), if you remove the low-wage illegal workers farmers will raise wages, legal immigrants will take the positions, and while your food may get more expensive, every worker will be legal. The availability of low-wage workers keep wages depressed, remove the low-wage worker and wages go up.
"Unlimited" to Verizon means "unlimited as long as you use less than 300 kilobits per second continuously". Which just happens to be almost exactly the minimum bandwidth for a Skype video call. Ponder that for a moment.
Sure, I'll ponder that for a moment, then point out that you seem to think there are people that literally Skype 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 12 months every year, never stopping to eat, sleep, go to the bathroom, etc. I suspect many/most customers lead more balanced lives then that.
Wiring every home in America is a slightly larger exercise than accomplishing the same in New Zealand. Oh, and the the last thing I want is the US politicians owning the last mile of every cable tv/internet/phone system - it would quickly turn into a means to gouge the haves to fund ever more free stuff for the have-nots.
This story skips over a point I wish was included - are the current customers, with the soon to be 'out-dated' routers already paying a monthly fee for their (old) router? I suspect they are, so this is simply a change in the amount, not so much a 'new' fee.
bye you tax evading piece of shit. why contribute to the state that's services enabled you to have a nice retirement fund in the first place, right?
WTF is wrong with you? Pretty sure he paid taxes every year he drew a paycheck n California, and if he's lucky enough Trl his house in CA I'll bet you the next owner will draw a paycheck and pay more in gross payroll taxes than he would as a retiree.
So, his moving from the state more than likely increases California's tax even use, but sure, call him names for wanting to have a better retirement.
It's people like you that make so much easier for people to leave California.

I do click - I right-click on most everything that arrives in my inbox, just to see where it leads.
But I believe it - here in America, nearly half of all Americans vote for [Democrats|Republicans] without giving it a second thought...
No, they don't - they hold a patent on the fool-proof spring-loaded syringe.

Yet somehow an entire industry of Canadian on-line pharmacies exist to service the American drug market...
So Republicans are fighting for price controls and the Democrats are letting the market set the price?
I think you and I have different definitions of what a "Free Market" looks like...
What prevents an American from buying EpiPens (or any pharmaceutical) on the international market?

Then turn it off in the BIOS.
Seriously, this is not a 'secret' function built into the CPau, it is a feature implemented in chipset and controlled by a BIOS setting.
