More money in bad schools is a bad idea.
In exactly the same way that putting money put into fixing your leaky roof is a bad idea, when the reason it's leaking in the first place is your refusal to put money into it. A cycle you perfected, where nothing can go wrong!
First, fuck you.
Go fuck yourself, you goosestepping National Socialist, you. Being a cop isn't even in the top 20 most dangerous professions when you take out car accidents - which don't have anything to do with cops needing to get their guns off. That "danger" is the entire reason they claim they need to be able to murder people with impunity.
Law enforcement isn't all that dangerous of a job. In fact, it doesn't make the top 10.
Take out traffic accidents (which have jack to do with cops needing to get their guns off), and LEO's don't even crack the top 20 most dangerous professions. We don't allow retail workers or truck drivers to murder with impunity anyone who looks at them sideways, so WTF should anyone put up with that from cops with less dangerous careers?
Even for 10-pounds-of-dumbfuck-in-a-five-pound-racist-nazi-shitbag such as yourself.
Or you could blow it out your racist ass, given the steady stream of black (and white) men murdered by cops for minding their own business.
I think this needs to be fixes in law, not just in a court case.
What do you think court rulings - all court rulings - are based on?
They are being used for controlling people who drive for a living.
Sounds like conflating tracking a company vehicle with tracking a person. The lady in the story didn't have a problem being tracked - as long as it was during work hours.
They make you upgrade to the latest version, whether you want to or not, otherwise your software stops working.
Tell that to my iPad that I haven't updated for more than 6 months because I don't want to lose the jailbreak. Haven't run into a single app - including Apple's - that insists on upgrading to 8.3. Same thing happened the year before that, where I stayed on jailbroken versions of iOS 7.
but then they suddenly decide that your hardware cannot upgrade to the latest OS, without which your software won't work, ergo you have to get a new device.
You can run it on a 6 year old Mac Mini. We'll cry you a river.
iCrap isn't any more popular than Android despite your whining.
He didn't say it was, Hateboi.
It's not "no expectation of privacy". It's "no expectation that your location is kept private". Different thing.
Distinction without a difference.
but you make a valid point
No. He doesn't. Not even close. Implying that opposing H1-B == racism is as stupidly dishonest as accusing someone of racism because they oppose Obama's wars and bailouts.
Contrary to popular belief, the president has no power at all to deal with the national debt.
The Executive:
1) Writes the budget. The budget defines how money is spent. How much money is spent has just a little bit to do with the national debt
2) Signs or vetoes legislation. Presidents say "I will veto this bill if it does/does not do X" all the time.
3) Is the leader of his party, and largely dictates his party's agenda. Even as a lame duck, Obama can cut off campaign money for Dems running for reelection next year if they aren't "team players" on the budget.
The president has more power and influence over the budget than entire committees or leaders of the respective chambers. That's not quite the polar opposite of "no power", but it's pretty close.
Within 400 yards of my front door is a hydro power plant owned by a paper mill.
Power that probably is 1) regulated as a public utility or 2) has to compete with another provider, and cannot raise rates as they see fit.
Complete non sequitur and contrary to fact.
Quite the Randian gag reflex there. Post office! Municipal water! Boo!
Most people want cars, do you want to have to buy a Trabant? Everyone needs shelter, do you want to live in a "project"? Everyone needs clothes, do you want to be limited to what the government supplies? (Good luck if you need orthopedic shoes.)
Now there's a complete non sequitur. You're moving the goalpost from a natural monopoly to other markets that don't have monopolies. Because Randians have no honest answer on how to deal with natural monopolies or market consolidation.
Government control allows the appointment of political hacks to jobs that they're not competent to perform.
Grab yourself a time machine and find the laziest bureaucrat from the most run down Soviet plant you can imagine. He's not going to have a direct incentive to cut corners that get people killed the way corporate hacks do for your beloved capitalists.
You can cast a vote for president, but you can't cast a vote for who's going to be the CEO of Wal-Mart or Exxon.
Was that the debate where Bush took credit for passing a patients bill of rights he vetoed as governor of Texas? The "liberal" media was too busy inventing Gore exaggerations to notice.
