Since there are ample reports of this happening, which you either choose to ignore or have not bothered to examine, you perhaps should take your own advice.
If you cannot be bothered to Google this, you cannot deserve further attention.
"No, the intent is everything. The intent of a shrinking Republican minority seeking to hold on to power."
In the face, in California, of a Democratic party majority seeking to destroy and eradicate the Republican interference, this seems predictable, an expected response to the majority's punishment of their opposition.
But of course the Left defines all opposition as illegitimate.
"many blue states have gone to an independent commission drawing legislative maps, but you don't see it happening in red states. At all."
Except in Arizona. And that is possibly unconstitutional; From Wikipedia;
The Elections Clause of the federal constitution provides, "The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof."
The Arizona Redistricting Commission was enacted by Proposition 106, citizen-sponsored and decided, mostly cutting the Legislature out of the process.
Imagine if all the money the world spends on what I myself won't willingly give up would, for just one year, be funnelled into things like getting people out of poverty, creating jobs, curing cancer, building infrastructure...
My M8 shows the slings and arrows of dings, drops, and bangs. I can imagine how an edge-to-edge display would be chipped and dinged similarly, and like My Nexus 7 (2013) leave me with edges that nick me. And look horrible.
And would every touch cause an action ? Can I have SOMETHING to hold without opening YouTube? Please?
Any competent hospital knows to have emergency processes ready to stand in in the event of a power outage, natural disaster, or even a labor action.
I'm glad I don't do this work any more. Imagine having to explain to your business administrators that you need to firewall your internal departments from one another, that you cannot allow users to send or receive certain email content, that you must not permit sharing between certain critical functional units, that HIPAA in the US requires you to lock down data so severely you can't even email your own W-2 to yourself.That you need a secure messaging system to work with external users, so that they will need to log in, set a username/password, and tolerate decrypting messages through a cumbersome HTTPS connection.
There are others around here besides Intel, but they are specialty fabs, like RF power devices and specialized CPUs. Some are older facilities and amortized, others result of mergers and consolidations.
Are you not paying attention? It was designed to use younger enrollees to pay for older, more demanding ones, which is actually pretty much a standard insurance model. It was just designed in an unsustainable way.
Yes, I was a CLEC for a brief shining moment. Good business. My competitor is now 20 years in business, delivers reliable DSL service far further than the ILEC, several TIMES faster, for lower fees. The ILEC virtually stopped advertising their service.
I know full well that if/when I lose my current job, I will find it very, very hard to find a similar opportunity. Age, education, and shrinking work forces will put me at great risk of taking a 60% pay cut, permanently. This is the reality for knowledge workers over the age of 40 in the US.
Fear? I'm betting you don't really know it either. My mom grew up in immediate post-Depression America, lurched into WWII, and was married in the height of the post-WWII prosperity that made everything so easy. Until she divorced. Then it got really, really hard. Now she watches the ACA destroy her options for healthcare, threatening her with the choices that may be made in the next few years being given to bureaucrats who will not be able to do anything but cut costs.
And I'm right behind her.
You think the white middle-class in America is crying wolf? We see the snowball coming down the hill.
Look hard enough, and you will find insurgents and terror actors who have more in common with the Right than the Left.
They will be fewer than those who the Left claims to support, less organized and sponsored, and less effective. They damage their own kindred movements more than they benefit.
The Left is a worldwide, organized force. The Right is not so organized. And the Left will use violence for almost any affront. The Right tends to stew until it's too much.

If you are referring to me, I do not post as AC, and did not in this thread.
No, I do not. No.
Careful. The facile arguments of the Libertarians are profound to them, and they rest on the kernel of truth to expand them ad infinitim.
That's their mistake, misapplication of the principles.

I do, finally, get the implication. I just hope you actually do. Which I'm willing to assume for your benefit.

Those pesky citizens again.
20 years ago (1996) crude oil prices were remarkably close ($27-$39/bbl)to what they are today ($46/bbl)
The 1980 and 2008 spikes mess with our perceptions. We are right around Embargo-era pricing (+/-$50/bbl.) from the 70s.
And global economic decline along with fracking has driven global oil prices off the 2008 highs, with no end in sight.
This.
Think globally, act locally. Or individually.

Bah. Humbug.
There is always a reason. You learned that in Economics 101, right?

I know they are.
Did I say ANYONE is going to remedy this situation? No, I did not. Your assumptions are showing.
And blaming insurers for ACA failures is a sad canard. It makes you look bad.

As one who lives within a few miles of several working fabs, I can assure that high-value semiconductors are being made here.
The cheap stuff (and a good share of the high-value stuff) is being made where it should be - where it is cheaper.

Swedish sexual assault law is interesting. There is virtually no defense, the accusation is considered sufficient.
It's become impossible to discern the truth in these cases.
I figured this out on my own in 2015. Not everyone on /. has to be led to the well.
I would sooner believe that the Brexit deniers ultimately blame the US. We've not yet embraced the EU and gone full socialist.
We're facing a similar decision point next week.
And "corporations".
