which may tie in with what you've posted.
It is an odd way to run a country, where instead of rule of law, you have public servants making decisions based on which political party they belong to. And you only have two parties.
Seems a bit weird.
Our parliaments have been far too generous to the industry lobbies.
True, but the industry lobbies are the ones paying for the parliamentarians, so they should get fair value.
I'm pretty sure it was George W Bush who said "You gotta dance with the ones what brung ya".
You should have another look at the summary. The piece is from the TUC, a UK union group.
Workers in the UK have proper healthcare regardless of how many hours they work, or who they work for, they don't have to go cap in hand to their overlords hoping to avoid bankruptcy if they or their children get sick.
It's what civilised countries do.
Yeah I mean it's not like Palin said anything like:
"My son like so many others, they come back a bit different, they come back hardened, they come back wondering if there is that respect for what it is that their fellow soldiers and airmen and every other member of the military so sacrificially have given to this country. And that starts from the top...The question though that comes from our own president where they have to look at him and wonder, do you know what we go through?"
–Sarah Palin, blaming her son's domestic abuse incident on President Obama, January 20, 2016
I mean, seriously, Sarah Palin has proved herself so stupid and useless that she never managed to even finish her term as governor in Alaska.
So stupid and useless that even Fox News fired her.
...we had two incredibly successful wars during his term in office.
So, you're pretending that
1: Dick Cheney was in charge? (You may be correct, after all, he made a hell of a lot of money from those "two incredibly successful wars.")
2: Those two wars were actually successful. I mean, for anyone other than Mr. Cheney and his friends, who made so much money from them.
So with more and more judges being conservative...
I'm not actually American, so I'm not that invested in it really, but that does seem like an odd way to run a country.
Where I live, we have rule of law, and judges don't get to inflict their religious values on the rest of us, but if you're OK with it, that's your business I suppose.
Perhaps they think that is better than voting for people that despise their culture and call them "rubes".
I wouldn't know. It's kind of hard to think of them as anything other than rubes after hearing them defend people like Sarah Palin, Donald Trump or Dick Cheney.
Is that why the Democrats removed the Fairness Doctrine?
Oh, no wait, it was a slimy Republican did that, so that his friends could set up the Fox News propaganda channel to convince rubes that voting against their own interest was a good idea.
Your post proves how well that worked.
Too cowardly to even log in and spew your nonsense too I see.
It's really is awful.
My wife broke her ankle last year, and was seen immediately at the A&E by a series of well trained competent doctors and nurses.
She was then admitted and stayed in hospital for the next three weeks and had an operation.
When she did come home she had a home help person come to clean the house, and the district nurse checked on her for 6 weeks or so.
But it get worse! So much worse!
When she decided some (extra) physiotherapy was needed, I had to pay nearly $15 per session!
I know !!
People CHOSE to go with them years ago and are CHOOSING to migrate away...
That's what we're doing. It will eventually cost Oracle something like $50 million per year from what I understand.
They made the mistake of lying about license costs to the wrong executive, and he is not fucking happy.
Hello, there's your problem right there.
You can't imagine that there might be other cultures that have different ways of dealing with each other.
You should get out into the world more. It might open your eyes.
I have been keen to do this for a while now, but have always assumed it would be a total hassle with the whole whitelist/blacklist thing.
Does it in fact wind up being a lot of work, or should I jump right in?
You should be aware that right now the Saudis are bombing Yemen into the stone age because they want a government that the Saudis don't like.
The Saudis are using weapons the US sold them. (Also France and the UK).
There is no point fixing the sewers.
And money is speech. This is just the US political system in action.
You are not needed for it to function the way it is supposed to. Those with a real stake will make the decisions on the issues that will affect their bottom line, using the tools they purchased.
If the people who run your country decided that money would be the deciding factor in any important decision (and they did) then get out of their way. They have a country to run.

I say, that's rather good. Well done that fellow.
Funny how it's always that Anonymous Coward fellow with the anti-climate change views.

So. the only way you think the left can compete...
No. I don't think there is anything even close to a Left in US politics.

My gods that's a stupid comment.
Almost every assertion is untrue.
Ha! Immediately above your stupid, trollish idiocy a sensible logged in user has directly refuted you.
You're a fool.

1/3 sounds bad, but it's so much better than nothing.
That must be an awful way to live. You have my sympathy.
If the gov would use it's resources instead of hiring corporations they would save so much money it's unreal.
You seem to have missed the point of what the US military is actually for. It's not for saving money. It's for spending money. Your money.

Thanks. Not interested in SIP at the moment, but that all sounds great.
Thanks. That does sound good, but I think I would like to run my own server. Unless it winds up being a lot of work. In which case I don't.
They don't want applicants who don't use Facebook, because that's the only way their HR departments know of to screen people.
Not where I work. Our HR people can't figure out how Facebook works.
I have been keen to do this for a while now, but have always assumed it would be a total hassle with the whole whitelist/blacklist thing.

...having your country bombed to shit by a hostile dictatorship with the backing of the US government...
Holy shit that's not even debatable, it's just a plain fact, and the comment gets modded Troll?
You lot are all wankers. You're too shitty to even log in so you can be identified.

We recently saw how throttling helped fire departments communicate...
Thanks for coming Ajit.
