If an institution is too big to fail, then Politics was involved in getting it there, and politics will be involved in keeping it there.

As a Libertarian, I'm okay with failure, for the sole reason that failure is what fuels innovation.

That being said, Bernie is an interesting cat. He is a true socialist, who believes government has the ability to manage and shape the economy without unintended consequences. My experience is that most of the economic problems are due to (caused by) government interference, and not allowing the natural forces to work themselves out. Sometimes the lions eat the gazelles, sometimes the bugs eat the lions.

I would settle for "within a couple blocks" if the schedule didn't suck. To get from my house, to the mall across town, takes just under two hours. It is ten minute drive (city streets). If the buses had shorter routes, and more frequency, they could do much better in ridership. THe problem is, they have long routes that don't really go where you want.

IMHO a bus loop should be 15 or 30 minutes. Not the hour long loops they currently make.

Currently, if you miss the bus, you're screwed.

It means absolutely nothing at all. They still have unfettered access to the data, they might as well hold it themselves. This is simply a move to absolve them of blame/responsibility down the road.

He is not just a bit disappointing, he is worse than either side predicted. The (R) underestimted him, and the (D) were simply delusional that because he was "black" he was different. And now, they thing HRC is different because she is a "woman".

Anyone willing to vote simply because she is Monica's Ex-Boyfriends Wife (The practical extent of her actual accomplishments, as former First Lady, Senator, and Secretary of State)

Were his lips moving?
Is he a Politician?

Evaluate for true = Lying.

CITATION NEEDED

Who would that be? It isn't GWB, because there has never been a legitimate trial. I dare you to point to Malaysia kangaroo court ruling. Because if you think that is okay, then you also should subscribe to all of their laws, including those against gays and drug users.

Here is a quote from Polifact ..

http://www.politifact.com/trut...

Those people who view one side as better than the other, because they are "less evil" are simply delusional.

Those people who view Government as our protector against ... our government are even more delusional. Governments tend towards power accumulation and tyranny. There is only one restraint against that, revolution. However, give people enough circuses (NASCAR, NFL, NBA ...) and they don't have that problem.

I am in IT, but not in Security. However, I don't need to know security to know that a large part of the problem is that money fixes problems, and nobody wants to spend the money needed to fix the problems. Further, problems are pushed down to the people least able to fix them (consumers) more often than not.

These security breaches are going to be even more prevalent and no amount of security will ever resolve them completely. The real fix, IMHO, is to assume that all this info is publicly traded, even when it shouldn't be, and work the problem from there. IF the systems were in place that made assumptions such as this, the problem is much easier to define, and fix.

Guess who is a big proponent of H1B?

That is, unless she flip flopped on that too.

Yep. Don't like it? Use duckduckgo.com. Meh. A non-story.

That problem isn't the taxi's problem, it is a train problem. I could design a bus system in New York that would Eliminate the need for Taxis.

We've had the old system in place since the dawn of the Industrial Age. It no longer suits our needs because we don't need Industrial Education. YET, we are fighting to keep it, rather than use the metrics we have available under the information age to have appropriate education for every student at all times. We no longer need Teachers, but we rather need facilitators, to help kids maximize their potential at the time they can attain it. The methods of Industrial education do not afford us the ability to teach the smart kids like they are smart, and the slower kids like they need.

This is going to require a huge shakeup of status quo.

" I'd rather see an injection as the corpse looks less... mutilated and gory."

Less Exotic.

It starts out that way. And then, it doesn't end up that way. Franchise agreements always end up hurting the public in the long run.

If you want to fix the streets of New York City, implement better public transportation. New York could use a nice bus system.

That is utter bullshit. It is fear mongering at its worse. What is the worst possible thing is to have Government Granted Franchise agreements, whereby politicians can be bought and paid for by those companies buying up such agreements. The public is never served by such agreements in the long run.
