Read this image and realize the fail of your "fix". The reality is, you cannot graduate high school, enter college, or even apply for the vast amount of white-collar jobs in China without at least a moderate level of English mastery. China wants to learn English - desperately - because it IS the de-facto International language.
Did I say that? Did I imply that? Nope. However, the AC I responded to implied there were admissions of guilt about collusion - which is, in fact, provably false. Lie to the Government, you go to jail (well, unless your name is Bill or Hillary Clinton). Collusion? Still yet to even get close to an accusation, let alone an admission or conviction. Paul Manafort is charged with illegal lobbying and failing to disclose overseas assets back in 2012 and 2013 - well before President Trump had even announced a run. Collusion - really?
Cool! Then I guess the rest of the world will be fine with us slashing our 22% funding of the UN general funds (and 28% of all peacekeeping costs) and letting someone else fund that role for a while...
Who owns Arianespace? It is 100% owned by European Governments. It is, in fact, a multi-governmental agency with a commercial sheen of operations overlaid.
For collusion? So far I see a few admissions of guilt for failing to report overseas financial assets from 5+ years ago, and for stating a meeting happened in August when it happened in September. Other than that? Not much...
Sure - because it was politically expedient to do so. It was her gold standard, but when it was politically unpopular during the election she quickly disavowed her previous position.
Have they figured out how to get from Bakersfield to Los Angeles yet? Last I heard they punted on that decision until sometime after 2022... So we can move people from Fresno to Bakersfield, great! But still no plan to connect to the second largest metropolitan area in the US.
Firebombing Tokyo was much worse. Without the nuclear bombs dropped a few months later, there may have been many more such firebombings to bring the Japanese to the table to surrender. Of course, there was that little 40 day period called the Rape of Nanking where the Japanese killed over 250,000 people. Talking to my wife's grandmother - who lived through it as an 18 year old girl who was thankfully taken in by a Jewish family (otherwise she was certain to be raped and killed like her best friend), it was horrific. But never mind, USA bad because nuclear weapons.
Brazil is complaining about the tariff? There's a reason that Foxconn built a factory in Brazil - it was to get around the $60%+ tariffs on imported electronics that Brazil imposes.
Perhaps because Tesla is, to date, still a tiny specialty manufacturer. Telsa's entire production - for it's entire lifetime, since 2003 - adds up to less than 36 hours of car production worldwide. Over 72 million passenger vehicles are built each year, and Tesla has barely cracked 300K for its entire lifetime. It's still learning how to walk whilst the rest of the field is planning ultra-marathons. There's a certain level of quality and reliability that comes from decades of building millions of vehicles, that Tesla still has not proven. The extra scrutiny paid to the brand-new - and still inexperienced - kid on the block is entirely justified.
Looks like - other than the value - it has the same volatility of most penny stocks, where a whisper can whipsaw the price tens of percent in a matter of minutes.
Just to follow up on this, this morning (March 8th) at 9:10 AM as I was walking into work at Market and Larkin, there was a homeless drug addict standing in the middle of the street, pissing. As I walked by, a police officer rolled up - don't know what happened after that, but public urination in the middle of the street right in the middle of the morning, right within eyesight (and a 3 minute walk) from City Hall. Gotta love that clean San Francisco!
Oh, I did that too!:) I rode motorcycle all over Malaysia and Thailand - and the traffic sucked. But for much of the city spaces, it was more convenient to use a motorcycle than a metro then hope to find a tuk tuk or taxi (or a rented motorcycle) to get you where you needed to go.
Apprently you've never been to Shanghai. I rode the metro lots of times - IF it was going to where I needed, or I was going across town. For more local runs - or when I wanted to go visit my wife's father's grave in Anting, we'd take a motorcycle because at that time there was no metro/train that even went close to it. You see, as big as the metro is, there is still massive swaths of the city that are nowhere near the metro. The central districts (Jing'an, Putuo, etc) are well-covered, but Pudong outside if Lujiazui? Or out towards Qibao town? Few and far between. But hey, you're just an AC trying to sound smart - and you failed.
I guess NBC is part of the conservative movement? Or perhaps it's those stalwart conservative professors at Berkeley who make things up... I work a few days each week at Civic Center, and the feces, urine, and needles are quite real.
Digital audio on the Lightning port is limited to 24 bit / 48 kHz at best; it does not support most HD formats out there from Tidal, HDTracks, etc.No DSD support either. Nor, most likely, LDAC or AptX HD support. So good general consumer stuff - but decidedly NOT high-end headphone audio quality.
How so? I just paid $2148 for a round-trip business-class seat from LAX to Shanghai, then to Singapore, then back. Nothing more needed - no baggage fees, no early booking fees, etc. One rate. How am I getting "ass-blasted on the back-end"?
Check out cable franchise fees and agreements. They're used quite effectively to grant de-facto monopolies. And they maintain them - as you say yourself. As far as Google fiber, RTFS. Companies are using the power of monopoly and their connection with local Governments to keep Google fiber out, taking it to court even.
Yep, we don't get that here, unfortunately. Yes, some places require that the owners of the wire/fiber make them available to 3rd parties, but they can charge high enough fees that you end up paying more for the entire bundle. It would be cheaper for the consumer to simply go with the owner of the wire/fiber rather than paying 90% of that cost AND then the fee for the ISP.
Nice! So how else do you propose to get to Europe or Asia or Australia? I guess you pine for the days of the steamship... Me, I'll take the fact I pay 40-50% less for a flight - thanks to deregulation. I can afford to pay $2000 for a business-class flight to Shanghai or Singapore, versus the old days of paying effectively $1000 for a simple flight from LA to San Francisco.

That's just what you heard on a Mexican radio.

Only after Trump came out in hard opposition to it. Originally she and her running mate Tim Kaine we all pro-TPP, as well as pro-NAFTA.

I've lived in Brussels, Shanghai, and Los Angeles. Motorcycles and scooters work way better than public transportation. Private transport all the way!
