is this a bot or someone with no time on their hands and no life? I see this same tired argument in the same general words in every post here these days
completely missed the point however sure, if you wanna spend your money to try and take money from others, so they can not even give it to you... i see no good reason you should not be able to do so
I was referring more along the lines of how one can opt out of paying the political donations portion of their union dues, i should be able to opt out of non essential taxes and if people want their 5 million dollar new court house, instead of making everyone pay when the old courthouse is doing the job just fine, let people crowdfund it and not raise my taxes.
extrapolate that to NASA, wars, social engineering policy etc.
Its allowing us to put our money where our mouths are
I dont expect taxes to pay for a lot, taxes should be for the basics needed. crowd funding is giving us a chance to do it different, back the things we want done without being forced to pay for the things we dont
i have a similar method of shopping. First i figure out the type of product im looking for. followed by hours of research before pulling the trigger. In this instance i simply could not find what i was looking for after a week and the ads helped me
I recent got a new car (well new to me) and one of the things i want to do is get fitted seat covers as the interior is an off white and i am....well a slob
so after looking for a few weeks i havent found anything that fits my needs (fitted, not leather or fake leather, and well made)
well I noticed some ads all of a sudden starting to show up for fitted car seats and eventually i found what i was looking for because of google ads
I will admit it is the first time ive found it useful, but when ads are done right, they are not a bad thing
i didnt know the term either, but after looking it up i agree
when I am on my phone there are 2 types of pages that if i get them, i refuse to go to again
sites with popups that dont get blocked by adblock, no i dont care about what you are trying to sell me, show me what i asked for
the other is "list" sites, where they have a list that might have 10 photos and no (or very little text) yet they want me to load a new page for each item on the list. It is even worse if i can go to the site from a desktop and not have the page split over 10 pages so why do it to me on mobile? I know why (ads) and I dont care. I dont want to a - waste my time clicking next after i look at each slide for 5 seconds, and B i dont want to waste my phones data package on a bunch of ads, that take up more data than the content im looking for to begin with!
Slashdot Mirror
people are leaving because they dont feel valued when someone who just got hired is making as much as them, having been there for 10 years.
the point is this man did what all those noisy people have been demanding...and its backfired
so all of us who dont think people should get 15 bucks for flipping burgers can point to this as an example of why its not a good idea
sure, also sexism cause why not?
they were not mostly non military, they were industrial cities
yes... i know....
what logs?
would be funny if they sent them literal wood logs
if you eat almonds, you are doing more damage to the west coast than my driving does. have you seen the water needs for a single almond??
regardless of your thoughts on how everyone should live, this is the world we actually live in.
id love to get 200 MPG (what car does that??) now, but i wont trade off size and comfort for MPGs

thanks for the context. I havent had time to read up on it as of yet.
my brand new v6 impala gets 21 if im lucky. 30 is great mileage in the states. we dont drive small death traps like the rest of the world
blame regulations for that not willpower
howcome i read she wants all homes solar powered by 2027?
Of course, a nice carbon tax could fix that in a hurry, if that is what we as a country wanted to do.
with the costs going up across the board as it is, we dont need any new taxes. especially here in NY
do you have the line by line breakdown on expenses? I dont but id really love to see what it is, see what that 800 million is buying
having said that, WHY isnt there a breakdown, line item, for all costs that our government spends?
the IRS will freak out if i miss one little thing but they spend trillions a year and most of us have no idea where our money is actually going

the IRS should look into this
i have a similar method of shopping. First i figure out the type of product im looking for. followed by hours of research before pulling the trigger. In this instance i simply could not find what i was looking for after a week and the ads helped me
or maybe you missed the last sentence where i said "when done right"
or your just an AC and i dont know why i wasted my time replying
thats not entirely true. some ads are welcome

as long as they dont plan on releasing him (they said they dont know if they can) it shouldnt be an issue. simply print a larger one as needed
i take it you are not american
they want to mandate free birth control we should have free access to law information
the cost should only be related to procuring and making paper copies (like foia)
therefore post it online, and everyone wins (except the extortionists)
