I must dissagree with you - and state categorically that whether the laws are good or not is not a relevant consideration, The single greatest risk to peace, freedom, democracy and human life in the world today is corporations flagrantly ignoring the rule of law.
This. A thousand times, this! "Citizens United" notwithstanding, corporations are not people, and certainly not citizens. They should exist only as construct that is explicitly and implicitly subordinate to government and the citizens that the government exists to serve.
There is great potential for abuse with these things, and the Trump admin is not afraid to make the hard decisions on these types of things, optics be damned.
Your damned right. The ability to take actions and against citizens and their property, and to then be able to hide those actions from public scrutinty is a hugely dangerous thing. My gawd, the potential for abuse is...
Oh... wait.
You actually think that such assaults on our Constitutional rights are a good idea? You are an imbecile.
As for exhaust note at idle, for my money, nothing tops this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?... Granted, it takes a few tries to get 'em all lit, but when all 28 (yes, 28) cylinders are firing, there's nothing like it.
Yes, we're very much at the start of the new tech hype cycle
Keep in mind that most tech hype is actually correct, even if premature. People laughed in the 1980s when hypers predicted that home computers would be popular, and in the workplace there would be a computer on every desk. But that is what happened. Likewise, people rolled their eyes in the 1990s at the notion that online shopping would be popular, and many people predicted that smartphones and social media were passing fads.
Well, no. I didn't reject the notion of PCs, or ecommerce. I do reject the notion of "AI" becoming a thing in my lifetime. First of all, what's being hyped as AI is not AI, as AI has been defined. At most, we're talking about "machine learning", not the same thing at all.
Didn't trump just make America great again? How can we still have homeless people?
If they live at Amazon, they aren't homeless. You see? American is great again, thanks to be big business.
I don't even think Cruz is legitimately religious. He knows what buttons to push to get his voters riled up and to the polls. Most of these kinds of politicians don't have a genuine bone in their bodies. For them, religion is always the big show. They're the ones at the front of the church singing the loudest, proclaiming their faith in God the loudest, and believing it all the least. He's a con man.
This has been the key page in the GOP's playbook for decades. Abortion and gay rights are a guaranteed dog whistle to the typical, so-called conservative voter. Now that the gay rights thing is all but settled (and to my LGBT friends, yes. I know that there are still many who think it's not and who bear watching), the new threat invented by the Right is the MtF transgendered using the women's restroom. That one will keep getting them elected for another ten years or so. Meanwhile, the interests of those fearful tools of the GOP, who voted "to protect the children", are going to be shat upon, again.
He's a manager - he needs to understand the 20,000 foot view. Unfortunately, these guys don't seem to even get that. This bill was probably written by lobbyists and given to the Senator with a nice big contribution check to his re-election campaign.
Jeez... Ya think?
Seriously, campers. This is how it works. In the U.S. Senate, campaign contributors are the constituents, not the voters. You can fix this, but you have to start getting involved and supporting candidates who will support a Constitutional amendment that will remove corporate money from U.S. politics. https://movetoamend.org/
And people still think we need more government intervention...
Well, yes, but not in this area. What's your point?
Trump is president AND a billionaire, and you're just some loser who whines on the internet.
And there isn't anything else to say.
Your conclusion does not follow the premises provided. You fail Logic 101. And that would explain why you're a Trump apologist.
Some people's religious beliefs include "I should kill anyone who disagrees with me." Some people act on their beliefs.
So it's the killing you object to then, and not the beliefs. Have I got that right? Good, because I agree with you completely. Religious doctrine, the xtian bible for example, is full of dangerous ideas that no sane person would believe enough to actually act on. That doesn't mean the whole religion is bad or it's followers inherently evil. Right?
I believe in tainting data - swap your grocery rewards card with someone else. Become a monk for income purposes, or turn vegan for health surveys
This. The entire Internet still thinks I was born on December 7, 1941. You know, "A day that will live in infamy."
For God's sake, stop researching for a while and begin to think!
