Nobody thinks that private companies have others' best interest at heart, what they do think is that competition will force companies to cater to their customers' desires. If you introduce government control the companies will cater to the the government's desires. The latter will only work if the government decides to have the people's desires met.

Unfortunately that simply is not true, take road projects, many politicians steer the award of contracts to their favorite donors, some even have kickback schemes for awarded government contracts

Flour, sugar, stock, milk, butter, baking soda, baking powder, cheese,... require processing to make. While I agree that fresh foods taste better then the same out of a can it's complete and utter nonsense to think that only using raw ingredients will yield a better meal.

If they were planning on actually copyrighting their customers messages they would have to pay $35 a message. There is also the issue of one of their customers sending copyrighted material which AOL would then claim as their own.

They couldn't use the DMCA, Lexmark put an authentication chip on their toner cartridges and sued SCC for reverse engineering their chip for cheaper cartridges. The supreme court sided with SCC in 2004 and then sided with them in 2014 when SCC asked for damages from Lexmark for the false copyright claims. Essintally you can't claim copyright infringement because you are granting access with your protocol so accessing with a copy of your protocol is no different.

That's is what all vodkas are, they are triple or quadrupled distilled and filtered then water is added at the end to get it to the correct proof. Poland, the birthplace of vodka, grades vodka based on purity. Any vodkas with flavor are infused by putting the flavor agent in after the distillation and filtering are complete.

A good vodka has no taste, it's run through charcoal to eliminate any character, aroma, color or taste. There is a reason the best vodkas are only $40 a fifth, triple distilled with filtering is all that is needed, the goal is to have only alcohol and water. Contrast that with whiskey which is much more complex, flavors from the mash and charred barrels must work in symphony with each other and makers take extra precautions when making whiskey because you cannot filter out any mistakes since you will lose flavor.

Anybody requiring electronic medical devices to survive would be in danger, pacemakers (1 million Americans), insulin pumps (20 thousand Americans), dialysis machines (500 thousand Americans), respirators,... then there is medication that requires refrigeration. Commercial airplanes are built to withstand lighting strikes so they would probably survive the control tower's comms and tracking equipment may not work so there is an increased risk of crashes.

When I have teed off at 8 I'm usually done by noon. The first 9 only takes 90 minutes but since they have people start on the back 9, I usually have to wait while people tee off on 10. After that It slows down considerably. My fastest round is a little over 3 hours but that was a cold early morning round. Playing in a foursome 10 minutes per hole is moving pretty fast just traveling tee to green is 3 minutes which leaves about 30 seconds per shot. Best case when driving to the course and driving home is included it's 4 hours.

How much controversial stuff is taught in High school? Tenure makes sense in a college setting where professors are given the freedom to teach. Tenure in grade school and high school is just a method to protect incompetent teachers. Many states and teachers unions got rid of tenure for that very reason, even then it is still difficult to get rid of bad teachers. Private schools don't have that issue they can hire, fire, and compensate based on performance, couple that with them not being forced to babysit kids that don't want to learn and you can see why private schools routinely outperform public ones.

Time is the biggest factor for me, a 5-6 hour block on the weekends is too large of a commitment I have stuff to do around the house, attend my kids sporting events, or some social function, I just can't commit that much time. If I could get a round in in 2-3 hours I would defiantly go more often.

Even if you read the terms and hit like any way you would not be giving up your rights to sue. For instance if liking a post entered you into a drawling to go meet Count Chocula then the like would constitute your consent to the terms of the drawling. The like would not however reduce your ability to sue if they put ricin in your cereal.

The torpedo would not be able to hit the platform anyway as it's 20-30 feet above the water. A torpedo to one of the floats would be devastating, it would cause the platform to topple over, who knows if the containment would be intact after crashing into the ocean.

My wife says at home, I have 3 kids, 2 of them go to private school, and I still manage to squirrel away 20%. My house is smaller them my co workers, my car is one of the oldest. I just have different priorities.
