That's probably because they get the vast majority of income in this country.

So do you want to be forced to use non-computer based solutions for your Title II-regulated phone systems? Be careful what you wish for, $MEGACORPS.

You'd think they were part of some hive mind or something.

That is exactly what was intended. The other auto makers are free to produce zero emission vehicles and sell credits too.

Sure. Their motive may be profit, but in this case, they are probably right. Fuel hasn't suddenly become more plentiful and pollution hasn't just vanished from the air, so why should the standards be relaxed?

You will enjoy not dying early from pollution related illness even though you won't attribute that to the EPA regulations that actually extended your life and your health.

E = 1/2 m v^2

That barrier is so big that it would likely take many, many times the age of the universe for the transition to occur.

No, it will take exactly one "age of the Universe" to tunnel and cause the collapse.

No, you fabricated a story without a single shred of evidence to support your position.

It's just a big fat [citation needed]

$3 million is the number I've seen.

Of course their \ equals Saudi-Arabia sell oil for more than that.

I know about the fishing but I didn't thought about the name in this case. I don't see how it make sense either.

I assumed it nothing more than:

Which it's also described as in the article text.

You have to present some facts before you can reason about them.

Otherwise there's nothing to distinguish the claim that Donald Trump obviously took all that extra money and shoved it up his ass for a rainy day from something resembling reality.

Considering that ISIS was trying to scam them, it seems more like a situation where they managed to take the bait without springing the trap. It's just like the pool hustler. He lets you win one for chump change to get you hooked. If you see it coming and say that's enough for you, he's out the money fair and square.

You spun a yarn without even a shred of fact to back it up. I can do that too, but it has no place in this discussion.

I think most of us recognize it when we see it, but keep stirring up that mud! In fact, I did set a few parameters for it.

As for the world comment, the cost of living in the area matters a lot as well. In some places, that $10k would get 3 or 4 months living in an apartment that barely meets code but wouldn't pay for utilities so you'd be put on the street anyway.

I would say though that wanting to live somewhere around the median for one's region isn't greedy. Wanting enough in a single year to be able to retire on with a median lifestyle is.
