"These people as guilty - are you one of them"
vs
"What are ***you*** guilty of????"
Also what happens to the data, could it be used to track your movements and identify your personally? "There was a murder near where we stopped you last month - what were you doing?"
A phrase only Americans use but they imply (/expect?) that it holds true for the rest of us.
If you are blindfolded in a ditch with and ISIS loony behind you holding a gun then; trust me; they have "...the most powerful job in the world....." as far as you are concerned.
The American people need a significant cultural, linguistic and self-perception overhaul to stay relevant in anywhere but the board room and on TV.
"......There are no longer enough jobs for everyone......"
This may be true but many parks, beaches or other wilderness zones need rubbish removal or environmental action. Wouldn't be a bad thing for people to be legitimately employed to help clean up the mess that we all contribute to/plant a few trees etc. Even the feeder jobs (driving workers to site, organising labour, maintaining equipment, providing education, etc) would have a positive stimulus to the economy.
Maybe $0.5 trillion of the $3 trillion could be used to make America/The World great again. I think it would be a wonderful message to send to the future generations that we recognised the value in investing in our environment and in particular in the value of the contributions of those who would do even the most menial tasks to support it.

From I understand the asteroid belt is quite far away in comparison to the moon. There are many logistical and fuel considerations to get to asteroid X, install something on it, mine or move it. Even if we do (from what other's have said) we might be able to make heavy raw materials but that's still just one step in a long journey.
LEO is an option but look how long it takes us to build IIS and its non-capacity for volume production or habitation. Also isn't there heaps of junk in LEO at the moment that is hazardous to space craft?
I am curious why the moon is not the first choice
Think of it like building a camping hut. Bit by bit materials are sent by unmanned vehicles. The only have to go one way so the fuel requirement is less (and they can form part of the construction material). Like the IIS it doesn't matter who sends or makes them as long as there is an open/coordinated design so they can be assembled or collectively utilised.
A problem with asteroid mining is that there is nothing there by the time we arrive. Surely by installing a power grind and robotically build habitations prior to going up there we would gain vastly more knowledge about creating colonies off Earth? "In an ideal world" we would create a monitored habitable farm on the moon with proven practices & stored farm produce long before we step into our new home.
I have to say I am not a fan. My kids school teaches coding in Year 2 onwards. Clearly the curriculum is based on "lets dumb down coding for kids and teachers" and has no real world applications. This is evidenced by not being able to pass on any of my PHP dev work to them. Filthy leeches.

This is one of the most biased headlines I've seen around recently. This isn't journalism, the headline is literally telling you what to think of the law instead of just stating the facts of it.
Well they couldn't put facts of their research in it our they would be arrested
is that they're very, very media savvy. They understand the value of PR, and are not above saying things they don't have any real plans to do just for the publicity effect. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure they'd be happy to lop off a few CEO heads (especially the Jew), but I'm guessing their primary aim is to keep us talking about them.
And you know, we do have to talk about them, because that's the way our society operates and they know it. But we don't necessarily have to give their chest-thumping any credence. I think that's the primary thing they want; if we treat them as powerful then they will gain credibility and that will attract adherents. So let's review; the guys they're threatening are famous, high profile billionaires. They're already attractive targets for domestic terrorists and criminals; they're not soft targets for any screwball Americans might inspire for votes.
Americans also can get other things from from making largely empty threats. They can get whip up Middle East anti-Muslim sentiment, which serves America's purposes very well. The droves of Muslims eager to get away from America's control undermines the legitimacy America's claim to having established a new world order, so they are very quick to publicize the fact that anyone trying to leave is going to get kicked by Hungarian cameramen.
If you don't want to be an unwitting American stooge, take a deep breath and put them in perspective. Sure, they're a bunch of dangerous fanatics, but they're 1 mile away. And yes, they're bound to have a few homicidal crackpot adherents here in the Middle East / Asia, but those crackpots are just a drop in our big bucket of homegrown homicidal crackpots, and we hardly give our native nutcases any attention at all. We're already taking our homegrown fanatics and mass killers in stride, so it's just a marginal effort to worry about Americans.
That's Americans in a nutshell for us: they're a marginal concern. Not to say Americans doesn't have a place on the list of the things we need to be concerned with, but it hardly deserves to be the center of our foreign policy, much less the center of our national policy.
encryption backdoors was "a waste of time." But he did say that encryption was making the job of the NSA and law enforcement more difficult.
What like before there was communications to tap or DNA forensic science so law enforcement would have to find the first black or homeless person and pin it on them?
Which is why the main control is interest rate, if you get high interest you save more and low interest you spend more.
Interest rate have little to do with spending - they are a tool to control borrowing (and inflationary investment). The economic function of interest rates nowadays is to drive credit creation - the ability for the financial sector to create wealth by loaning out the same dollar many times.
High interest rates remove the ability for people to borrow but attract external investment. This can be a useful technique to draw foreign investment into your country.
The quoted point does have value for people with variable rate mortgages. Since interest is a large part of their monthly payment and often people borrow up to 80% of the value of their home, movement in interest rates (not matched with movements in income) will cause - often significant - changes in movement in available cash which leads to the spend/save more scenario. However very little economic academic debate is focussed on the individual hardships of the poor. Economics in general is more focussed on the macro level as constantly demonstrated by the ineptness of the acts of politicians.
In Australia we have a statistical unemployment issue as the many factors can stop you being counted as unemployed (for example not being able to arrange childcare or not being available for work because you are in a course)
In Australia there is a very very very large service industry that feeds on the bottom dwellers of the recruitment sector by getting people into government sponsored courses. They get payments from the government and from the training organisation (who also get payments from the course attendee).
So basically you have millions of government/taxation dollars to fund the apparatus around one aspect of welfare - with the statistical upshoot of showing lower unemployment rates to voters.
If a Dutch town is doing away with the machine that keeps the welfare recipients under the watchful eye of the government to justify their payments in the eyes of voters then I can't help thinking that there is more money being saved and more to go into useful things.
Personally I would want all education and healthcare to be free - an educated and well society will achieve far more than a unemployable one that is ill and most likely broke.
Agreed. The money will quickly flow back through the system anyway, and will end up as a profit for some company somewhere. People don't just sit on their meager cash.
Except that much wealth is created in capital growth, for example real estate investments. If someone has a property worth $500k and another has one worth $10mil then the value created through inflation means the latter gets a far larger real growth in wealth. If someone chooses to by the latter house (without credit creation via borrowing) then cash is being absorbed and not flowing back.
The real problem with the whole Wealth, Work and Equality conversation is that there is enough resources and productive effort to produce a generous life fore all humans but we don't have an equitable system that shares it.
You have far too many guns in circulation and that is the root cause of all of your domestic suffering
Every other country in the world goes WTF at your collective inability to grasp this basic concept. If you don't want guns pointed at your kids then give up yours.
There is nothing wrong with access to guns in controlled circumstances like ranges but they are not tools for defence of your home. They day that you stop packing them is the day that criminals don't need to (and wont so they will avoid harsh sentences if caught).
If you get rid of the guns then cops might be less trigger happy.
Of course this is not going to happen an these circular discussions will continue because its a great wedge issue to keep your votes going to corporate puppets. And since I am in full rant - the US today is exactly the type of country that it chose to rebel from to gain independence. Congratulations you are your own worst nightmare and completely apathetic to the conditioning that you regularly accept.
Yeah I had an account that I wanted to win so I did a find and replace for "SaaS Solution" with "Enterprise Grade Cloud Technology" on the {successful} proposal.
Truth be told its still an ancient and buggy PHP app.
......The sad thing is that most people care, but not enough to do anything about it.
100% of the people responsible for this are the US Population. These voting citizens support a two horse race between almost identically corporate shills for bread and circuses.
If someone came along and said - "Make me President and I will withdraw all troops from everywhere the day after my inauguration. Apart from that the democratic policy process can find its way through congress." they would not get a blip on the radar of votes.
Basically the US voters are saying as long as *I* have my bread and *I* have my circuses then I am a-fucking-o-k with my taxes funding the killing of others for reasons I fail to comprehend.
No, management is paid to get the most work out of you for the least pay
Totally wrong. Management is paid (as part of their budget) to deliver business outcomes with the fiscal and human resources at their disposal. The reason why HR always has a seat at the executive table is because fundamentally every business that does not the well-being of their people as a high priority is destined to fail.
Once you have an offer and acceptance it would be nice if all employees treated their colleagues up/down or adjacent with respect.
If you are truly working in an environment of "..most work out of you for the least pay.." then get the FUCK OUT OF THERE. In my experiences any workplace hostilities are because of individuals not because of a corporate structure designed to enslave you. If you feel that way then solve your problem by finding a career/life that is free of such things.
In Australia your employment contract is a summary of your real "on paper" contract and the subsequent verbal changes and acceptance of those changes. This is basically if you accept changes to your verbal contact by not rejecting the duties and taking payment for them then it forms part of your contract.
Picture a dev who is asked to set up a few email accounts while the sysadmin is away. Sysadmin comes back and she passes on all email user management to the dev.
1) The dev accepts the work and it forms part of her employment contract - rejecting it in the future breaches that contract
2) The dev rejects the work citing that it is not part of her duties (saying "contract" is confrontational at that stage)
You can always tell your boss - "You know when you brought me a coffee were you just being nice and helping out or is it part of your duties/contract?"
Pay more, more will come. Very simple. Why would anybody bother to learn / earn experience for your shit-pay job? Your problem is YOU.
No the problem is you, you, you and me. Whilst we all want cheaper "everything" and use online bidding to push prices down we create a cost/price based business. I have a SaaS platform and the pressure to sell seats for under $100 is huge. If that seat wants support then profit margins quickly are eaten away.
We are an Australian firm. Our latest hire is a Dev in the Philippines because the western world is over priced (not their fault because they have too much costs & taxes).
Oh and I have started her our on the "shitty jobs" so she knows what not to do (and can incrementally improve to code). She is enthusiastic and putting in a good effort . You see it called a "job" not a "happy-happy-la-la-time-on-someone-else's-$$$".
Many people embrace their responsibilities to climate change by recycling more, using less energy and changing their living routines. It surprises me that they don't have the same attitude towards fiscal responsibility and expect their governments to borrow more prosperity from their futures to keep the illusion of wealth dancing in front of them.
