Do they hold a monopoly type position in the city? If yes a requirement like this should be in the contract. Did they agree the contract? If yes they should comply with the agreed requirements or loose the right to operate in the city.
I agree with the second part you said.
The first part... government has created this problem. I really tired of governments getting to create a problem then grab even more power to fix a problem they created (like HCR)
It's funny because in San Antonio, Google is sending free shirts to advertise the incoming google ISP. Of course, it says the t-shirts are coming in 2-4 months and no eta on when the actual ISP is coming.
When you have 24 hours of fake news from CNN followed by a 2 minute "we were wrong but only because the president is so terrible it was easy for us to make that mistake", that is far more damaging than a "far-right" site that has no credibility pushing fake news.
The day that CNN publishes their retractions for the same amount of time that they published the fake news without using the apology as another chance to throw digs at the president will be the day their reputation goes a little up.
Hell, the way they phrase their banner shows their hate "Trump holds economic news conference while Houston floods."
CNN plays all day at my work. Just when I think I'm losing support of Trump, I'll end up in the cafeteria and see those banners and remember that there is an enormous propaganda compain trying to make me feel that way. I really didn't think the press could treat someone worse than Bush Jr (who I am sick of and wish would disappear - him coming out against Trump doesn't make his haters like him and it makes his supporters regret him)
Remember if you are dominate you get in trouble as a woman and are a bitch. As a guy you are bold and have leadership. It is a double standard
That says more about where you work and who you associate with. Where I have worked, overly aggressive men are called assholes just as quickly as the women are call bitches.
Yes! I can finally come clean with my 10 year vendetta against you and let you know I have been down modding everything you say due to you saying you didn't like Babylon 5! That was like calling my mom stupid and since that means you did call my mom stupid, I will never forgive you!/jk
Come on. The rest of the world (at least the loud internet portion) has not found the US credible in over a decade. Who cares?
Next huge war where Europe needs us again, we will get that respect back. I just hope we hold back and let enough get destroyed so the rest of the world learns they need their own damn military instead of relying on ours while constantly bashing it.
Do I have to have a fist fight with an intruder irst? I think I'd probably lose and know my wife with severe MS would most definitely lose.
Or do I have to record myself saying "stop! I have a gun" then prove they understood the warning before I can shoot (while hoping they stand still so I can go through whatever dumbass checklist you think I should complete before firing)?
We do the same once they reach a high enough level where I work.
It's pretty much if there is nothing we can do, then there really is nothing we can do.
The problem is that so many companies put people that are not empowered on the front lines that customers expect to be able to hear a yes after being told no if they climb high enough. If there weren't so many fake no's being told, this wouldn't happen but I imagine it does weed out probably 8-90 percent of complainers.
Yeah. First you get customer service, then support help level 1 and then they transfer you to level 2 whose calls are routed to what I firmly believe is the level 1 guys again but with the hope that the next level 1 guy is a bit more knowledgeable through outside skills. Then you get told it will cost you 100 to send someone out to your house as they no longer have level 3 help. At this point, I have usually found the answer via google or one of those youtube videos (which I used to swear against but now appreciate.)
I think the above AC described it pretty well - Ubuntu did a great job making Linux more user friendly and easier to install. The thing is, now Debian is easy to install (and has been for at least 10 years but even easier now.)
Debian is a lot more customization and does a better job letting you build from ground up. Ubuntu acts like it lets you do that but then has packages depend on so many others, it quickly ruins the point.
I would not want to come back to work after a break like that either. It would also feel like two shifts.
Regarding the rest of your post, I wish I had your life - or at least work life! I know you worked hard to get to where you are but man, your days just sound amazing.
Yes, but Spain doesn't go with this American idea that a middle-class livestyle requires that you live in a house an hour's commute away from work so you can live as far away as possible from the poor people.
So ask for the perp to wait for the backup? Try to aim for their face with pepper spray> Hope that the taser is enough to stop them from charging. Not to mention pulling that stuff out and getting it armed and ready versus pulling a trigger on a gun.
If someone breaks into my house, even if I had a taser and pepper spray, shooting them in the chest would be my go to response. And not because I think I'm tough. Quite the opposite. I imagine I could be overpowered quite easily which is why I would not fuck around with anyone that broke into my home. And if I was helping my neighbor, same thing - while announcing myself so my neighbor doesn't shoot me.
Honestly, we ctirtize the cops for defending themselves (and charge and arrest) and then wonder why the cops are so slow to respond to poor, crime ridden areas. I know I'd avoid a situation where not only I would have to live with the image of killing someone (even justifiably), but that I would then have to be second guessed and accused of being a racist, bigot, or whatever for doing it. It's much easier just to ignore the 911 call and not deal with that mess.

But now you know that is Showtime's fault. Sue!

Not is we allow them to sue the manufacturers and everyone else they want rather than have any responsibility
Of course, Mozilla is now funded by Google, the largest data broker on the planet.
I thought that changed a while ago and they are now funded by yahoo?

Do like me: opt out of the mod thing entirely.

Imprison who? Everyone that took a check from the company? CEO down to the call center agents and shareholders?
I guess that shows the government should get out of this, huh?
If you kill in home burgler while they are inside your house in texas, there is no court case involved.
I prefer not to kill someone. That is why I lock my doors.
Really? What do you believe?
Do I have to have a fist fight with an intruder irst? I think I'd probably lose and know my wife with severe MS would most definitely lose.

Your gun jammer is bypassed by a dumb-magnet
Or by not using a smart gun
I doubt that they have a smart gun pointed at your head.
I am in the process of making my house "smarter" so forgive the bad joke
"Echo, fire gun"
"Sorry, I could not find gum."

It's not very good slashvertising. No one reads the fucking articles. I only looked at the link when I tried to figure how this was slashvertising.

Then we would have a society ruled by only those capable of fighting.
I know the Klingon rules of ascension sound great on paper...
In a story not related to the US. Your imperialism is showing
Why does Spain need to compete in the global market?
Also, it's funny how you criticize that other countries have to adapt to the US while taking a story about Spain to talk about the US.

Maybe we would if we were the size of Spain.
