$250k is still rich, it's just not as rich as in previous years. People making more than $250k only represent about 1.5% of the US population meaning that 98.5% of Americans make less than that amount. No matter how you slice it, $250k is rich, unless of course they're incompetent and spending all of it each year.
Because the poor are stupid enough to believe that they might some day be rich with enough hard work, and the rich are neither plentiful nor stupid enough to buy into it as a vote getter.
Technically speaking Clinton was a conservative when it came to economic policy. He just wasn't the sort of bat wing insane nutter that typifies fiscal conservatives these days. And ultimately, that policy did in large part lead to the dot com bust.
That being said, at some point, we need to just leave well enough alone and allow the markets to correct themselves. Restore sane regulation and tax policy and things should mostly right themselves. It's this tendency to bail out banks and other institutions without demanding permanent changes be made to keep it from happening again, combined with insane mergers that's keeping it from happening.
In general yes, but once one ages into Medicare the outcomes for Americans in that age demographic are significantly better than anywhere else in the world.
The trick is surviving long enough and in good enough shape to gain access to it.
Anyways, I thought by best they meant the best system at ensuring that the unwashed masses can't have money in their savings accounts.
They free load on our pharmaceutical industry mostly, but there are a few that operate over seas, most of them are based in the US.
As far as the rest of the industry goes, they have different standards, same goes for Canada. Ultimately, when you opt to circumvent FDA regulations in any fashion, you're taking your own life in your hands and it could work, or it could go horribly wrong. The standards are just different, they aren't necessarily higher or lower.
I find that hard to believe. Health insurance in the US is expensive, but it's not that expensive. When I spent 3 days in the hospital recovering from a heat stroke the bill the insurance company paid was $13k and that was mostly testing and bed space, the money that wouldn't have been anywhere near enough to pay fort heart surgery in Europe.
Unless, you're suggesting that in Europe, they allow us to freeload on their system, I can't imagine how it could be that much cheaper than in the US. A fairly typical cost for several months insurance would be a couple grand tops, and most likely not even a thousand.
You should give Reiki a chance. It's something you can do for yourself, definitely better than suggesting that it's bunk. Same possibly goes for chiropractors.
That being said, the implication that they're not really for life saving treatment would be correct. At most those two treatments would be helping quality of life, although, probably not that much when one is terminally ill.
Also, 2 years is an awful long time, the laws involving the right to die don't generally consider somebody to be allowed to take the option unless they have 6 months or less to live. Experimental surgery ought to be similarly marked, except possibly for investigative treatments.
Not necessarily. It's more or less inevitable. The more education one has, the more difficulty one typically has in seeing solutions that don't come from that view of the world.
Somebody that's studied statistics and probability theory is probably not going to do very well playing poker for long periods of time because the knowledge from those areas tell that person that the odds don't change over time. The problem is that ultimately they do, the human component of the game does get tired, does make mistakes and does respond to various types of streaks that might happen and the numbers that one runs based upon the theory don't work if they don't take those external factors into account.
Likewise in this case, they've PhDs in their fields, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they're nimble enough to be able to fold the protein in the way they want to in a simulation. However, if the players are figuring out how to use the results, that would be incredibly embarrassing.
No, the reason why we're still burning coal and oil is because there's a lot of people out there that stubbornly refuse to contribute to finding an answer. Both oil and coal receive huge subsidies. And really we were on the right path to getting off oil in the late 70s, but stumbled when gas prices became affordable again.
Blaming it on the environmentalists is just a cop out for the fact that there are a lot of people out there that are too short sighted to see where things are headed if we don't change.
Environmentalists are looking at the downsides of every possible way of getting energy. Which is a good thing, somebody has to do it, and at least they're looking at the environmental cost, something which corporations only do when they're being paid to clean up the mess.
I'm not sure where to begin. Of course they did it for money, even in the current era you have to have money to pay for food and clothing somehow. I'm not sure how you could misread my post to suggest that that is not the case.
But, it was much viewed much more the way that a lot of people view photography now. The artist had training with the tools necessary to take down the inspiration. The word plagiarism, for instance, didn't even enter the English lexicon until the early part of the 19th century and an awful lot of writers wouldn't let anybody in their library so that they wouldn't have to reveal whom they were plagiarizing.
The whole notion that art is something that happens in a vacuum because of a person's hard work in the absence of other exposure is complete prattle.
It's unfortunate that that is considered laudable. Ultimately, people like George need to be grateful for the fan support. Star Wars was great, in its way, but screwing around with people's memories is a great way to piss people off. Especially if you go in and muck around with something that has become such a substantial piece of the culture.
Actually, the thing there is that it's only been in the last few hundred years that artists were willing to start taking credit for work they produced. Prior to about the 19th century, it was God or a muse that did the work, the artist just put down on paper or however else the results.
The consumer is where the works ultimately go, if they're not able to soak into the consumer then there isn't really much art going on. Personally, I find it annoying, but ultimately have to accept that it's not what I make of my work that ultimately matters, it's what the viewer makes of it. Sometimes it's pretty amazing and other times it's pretty depressing.
As far as Star Wars goes, I've been saying for years that George needs to recognize that at this point the fans own the work, and that he really needs to rerelease the original versions, perhaps rescan and remastered, but from the original materials with the highest fidelity in mind. It's arrogant of him to not recognize that he managed to bottle lightning and to leave it as is.
Which explains why they were later sued by Xerox? They weren't granted permission to steal the ideas, they were granted permission to visit the facility and ultimately Apple sued MS for doing what Apple had already done.
Just because it's Apple doesn't mean the theft was any less theft.
I'd personally be more comfortable with an app that could be scanned by a barcode reader the way that my library card can. Makes it a lot harder for somebody to skim my information without my knowing about it.
The difference there is that Intel doesn't have any IP in this area worth protecting.
Also, what you're conveniently ignoring is that most of the source that AMD has came from ATI and was prior to the change in strategy. It's not easy to go back and retroactively open source things for which you may or may not already have the rights. I'm guessing that there's probably a fair amount of other people's IP involved. And even if there isn't, the legal team does still need to go through and make sure that they aren't going to be sued for releaseing something they shouldn't.
In anybody's eyes. The point of reconnaissance is to do it without anybody realizing that you're doing it. If they know then they will adjust to it in some way.
If the site is often broken and randomly changing, this would probably be why. You do want people experimenting and finding fixes, but if you don't have any coordination going on that's just as bad.
Like what specifically. The only things I can think of are funded solely or in large part by the various governments out here.Other things like Disney Land are out east as well.
What's more, this was funded by federal tax dollars, I personally see no reason why it should be restricted to a one day viewing on the East Coast.

I thought we were trying to eliminate the FPS aspect of schooling and make it more of a RPG or possibly puzzle game.

I take it you're a regular viewer of Fox News.
Environmentalists are looking at the downsides of every possible way of getting energy. Which is a good thing, somebody has to do it, and at least they're looking at the environmental cost, something which corporations only do when they're being paid to clean up the mess.
I guess your mother is safe then.

I think this speaks for itself.
Actually, the thing there is that it's only been in the last few hundred years that artists were willing to start taking credit for work they produced. Prior to about the 19th century, it was God or a muse that did the work, the artist just put down on paper or however else the results.

I think that's called "turnerizing" and it is a pejorative.
Which explains why they were later sued by Xerox? They weren't granted permission to steal the ideas, they were granted permission to visit the facility and ultimately Apple sued MS for doing what Apple had already done.
Just because it's Apple doesn't mean the theft was any less theft.
About as ironic as that Alanis Morrisette song
I'd personally be more comfortable with an app that could be scanned by a barcode reader the way that my library card can. Makes it a lot harder for somebody to skim my information without my knowing about it.
Well, to be fair, they did steal the idea of stealing other people's ideas from Apple. They couldn't just do it immediately or people would notice.
