I have a relative who knew that he could get a job at another company within a month, and was being mistreated by management. It was a small department, with only 3 people, including himself and the manager. The manager routinely used the "if you don't like it, then quit!" line. One day he'd had enough so he said "Okay, you're right, I quit" and spent the next 2 hours filling out exit paperwork to quit same-day while the management blustered astonishment. The department manager was miserable for the next two months as he had to personally fill-in for the work with massive overtime until a replacement worker could be hired. Upper management eventually moved and demoted this manager to elsewhere within the company AND HIS CO-WORKER WHO WAS LEFT BEHIND WAS TREATED MUCH BETTER FOR THE NEXT 5 YEARS THAT HE WORKED THERE.
So keep in mind that you might not be "screwing over your co-workers", there is a chance that you will improve conditions for the others.
I thought there was a way to objectively decide morals: write rules ahead of time. If the car is driving in a perfectly legal manner down its lane in the road, and the 10 people in the road are jaywalking, then the car/driver is in the right of way and should proceed rather than kill its driver. Maybe try to slow down and not hit them so hard, but the car ought not sacrifice its driver for the mistakes of others. You get my point: if you don't want to get run over, then don't jaywalk. Conversely if the vehicle is driving on the sidewalk, and 10 pedestrians are standing on the sidewalk, then the autonomous vehicle ought to swerve into that tree to preserve the pedestrians because you're not supposed to drive on the sidewalk.
It's just another case of the elitists wanting to vote again until they get the outcome they want, and then the voting will stop forever. One would think that if the EU was such a great thing that never would >50% of the population even consider leaving. However, despite celebrities, countless experts, and foreign leaders all endorsing the Remain vote, and proclaiming catastrophic economic conditions for the UK if the Leave vote wins, the Leave vote still won. Would the Remain voters have demanded another vote if Remain won? By what margin would the Leave vote have won if the elitists of the world did not launch a massive campaign to support the Remain vote? It looks like this was a truly epic win by the Leave vote, and now very sour grapes by the Remain side.
I've heard one of the justifications for a Universal Basic Income as: if there is a huge welfare state paying out entitlements, there may be such a huge overhead cost for administrating the programs that it may more efficient to eliminate the administration and use the money instead to simply pay out the Universal Basic Income. Everyone will get $X each month for rent/food/medicine. What happens if someone spends their money poorly, such as blowing it on drugs or gambling, and then they have nothing left at the end of the month to eat or pay their rent. As a society what do we do then? Do we just shrug and let them die in the street? Or do we restart the bureaucracy and have a UBI plus an extra welfare program for irresponsible spenders?
If you knew that the cash that you saved will buy less than it does right now, how would you protect it? Buying bitcoin is one possible answer. By the way, the fear is not deflation. Deflation would mean that your cash can buy MORE in the future. This is a devaluation, where your currency will buy less. China fears that they will need to print up large amounts of cash to bail out several bankrupt industries, and is attempting to devalue now to prevent a massive crash.
Ted Cruz has been mathematically eliminated from winning the nomination by virtue of voter delegates to the convention. His choice for vice president running mate matters about as mine: 0% chance of winning a legitimate vote. So therefore I nominate Ben Carson as my running mate. Quick, someone call a press conference!
I view it as less about "wishful thinking" and more along the lines of "give us power". This is an advertisement to say "Only big governments controlling the economy and the electric grid and research and dispensing money where they see fit -- can deliver an energy revolution"... in 10 years however, which will be enough time for us to get out of office and stash our $$$ in a safe place while the project isn't complete and the next generation of power brokers deal with the boondoggle and debt.
I'm confident that American trucking jobs will be safe for quite awhile; American roads are so shoddy compared to European roads that no self-driving truck will be able to navigate the potholes.
Considering that more ISPs now have a data cap, I would like to see a quantification of how much data the advertisements eat up, and then multiply that data as a fraction of the monthly cost. We could use that as an absolute bare minimum.
They are financed by Saudi Arabia, an "ally" of the United States and the Obama administration, who buys materials through the United States, which are smuggled through Turkey (another United States "ally") into Syria and ISIS territory. The reason the NSA is targeting the citizenry is because if they followed the money trail, then they would need to need to begin arresting other administration officials.
While the $1 billion theft was prevented, approximately $100 mil was still stolen. Not bad for a heist. Bangladesh is very angry, and will do anything at this point to blame others.
while others, such as the stand-your-ground law that allows individuals to use deadly force in self-defense, actually increase gun-related deaths significantly
I'm pretty sure that part is a designed feature, where a homeowner can kill a rapist or a burglar.
And don't get me wrong, this isn't a Republican vs Democrat thing. This is an outsider vs Professional-Politician-Insider-who-is-Bought-and-Paid-For-by-the-Banks thing. You can rely on Hillary, who has made tens of millions of dollars at the behest of the banking cabal, rely on her selling out the most American jobs to overseas operations.
Trump also has a habit of getting even with those who have wronged him. If Twitter were to suspend his account, and Trump wins the presidency, they would probably be in a world of hurt. It's would be the opposite of what large corporations normally do: send lobbyists and donors to both sides such that they're on friendly terms of whomever wins. They would likely be shooting themselves in the foot with that type of response, especially since Trump would likely gain publicity from it.
The 40 million figure is misleading. After working with SSNs, I can tell you that it's mostly not the Social Security Administration accidentally issuing the same number to multiple people. The numbers are associated with multiple people because someone has chosen to use someone else's number fraudulently.
I've followed the tournament Fighting Game scene for a few years now, and it seems like there is a lot of crossover of the top tier players. They seem to exclusively play fighting games, but of course the top tier players are certainly only a small subset of the purchasers/players. Considering how visible they are, I wonder if the marketers think that's how all genres work?
Currently there are vehicle repo men who us video license plate readers. They work for private lenders and/or dealerships, so you can avoid the police / insurance company thing. I'm not sure if they have capability beyond license plate readers, like if you want to identify a make and model. Normally they mount the video camera onto a small car, and then troll neighborhoods and commercial parking lots until they identify a plate for a car they want to grab, and then they call in the tow truck. Potentially they could let you know if they get a hit, rather than you sorting thru video to get your hit, and then geo locate it to try and track it back.

Is the current economic system so inevitable or desirable that those things are preferable to just letting people stay home?
Yes, an economic system where some people work, while others do nothing but take from the producers is called SLAVERY.

They should have checked their own website for press releases within the past year to find a case that was prosecuted.

It's not hard to say, over there weekend there was a currency devaluation in China.

Do you honestly think there would be the same number of tax cheats at a 95% income tax rate, as there would at a 5% income tax rate?

The base mechanisms of Communism have been failing for the past 100 years, but I'm sure it proves nothing, right?

I have a family member who owns Apple products; she did not upgrade her phone for 5 years, and didn't upgrade her laptop for 7 years.

Kind of like how Obama opposed free trade and said he wanted to make changes to NAFTA, but then once he got in office we can see how that turned out.

Be afraid. Very afraid.
