And what exactly is their 'worry'?

In this case, wasn't it the lack of a typo that you hated?

...of the Japanese Constitution protects against illegal search and seizure.

Man, that sounds so awesome. We here in the US should totally add that to our Constitution!

JUST RAISE THE DAMN GAS TAX!

Seriously, I can't believe that the government is going to setup yet ANOTHER giant bureaucracy that will effectively track our movements, when the obvious solution is to raise the gas tax rate to account for improved fuel efficiency.

If you Oregonians don't vote out every single nimrod that votes to even look into this boondoggle of an idea, you get what you deserve...

You weren't doing this already? On a brand new massive website that you just rolled out to millions of people? To quote Gene Kranz from Apollo 13: "Tell me this isn't a government operation..."

I'm thinking that the irony of your statement is lost on you.

The court is not really forcing the girls to get the vaccine. This is a case of the mother not wanting the vaccine for her daughters, and the father wanting the vaccine for them. If the father hadn't wanted the vaccination either, then the girls wouldn't be vaccinated. More of a custody dispute than a vaccination dispute...

But if IPO investors aren't able to easily sell their shares later on, they are going to be less likely to buy the shares of the company in the first place. Why do you think IPOs raise so much money?

Everybody who would like their private therapy sessions recorded and stored by the NSA raise their hands.

Um, this is still how it works. I have several stocks that I have held for a long time, I have no plans to sell them, and they pay me a steady stream of dividends from their profits. The stocks have slowly risen over the years.

Now you could buy and sell your stocks every few minutes/hours/days hoping to make a buck, but the 'market' itself doesn't require you to do this. It is an individual investor's choice...

One more reason why having the federal government run everything is such a bad idea. If Facebook had wasted this much money and had such a poorly functioning website, people would move on to some other social website and they would be out of business. Amount of my money wasted: zero dollars. Sometimes the market really does work.

In the case of Healthcare.gov, it will never get shut down or go out of business...ever. hundreds of millions of dollars of our money will continue to be thrown down this rat hole, year after year after year.

But the people that are most likely to use this website (low income) don't pay federal income taxes anyways, and they get subsidized stuff from it, so what do they care? Keep voting for more federal government involvement! Free shit for all!

A government project has gone several times over it's original budget? Shocking!

This pretty well describes the stock market. I buy a piece of the company, and if they make profits they give dividends (or the price increases and I can sell some or all of my stock to make money as well).

I'm unsure how this is different from the system you envisioned in the previous quote?

Wage Slavery is not the same as Slavery. That's sort of the reason there is a completely different term for it...

So, the workers received goods (through the company store) for their work, and were free to leave at any time... and you consider that slavery? I don't think that word means what you think it means.

What kept the worker from simply leaving the company town? If they weren't physically stopped from leaving, then it is by no means slavery. You could argue that minimum wage workers today make so little money that after they spend on necessities, they have no savings. Are they slaves, too?

Cars catch on fire after accidents all the time. Cars (Electric or Gas) are hauling around a lot of stored energy, and an accident can cause that energy to be released in a rather sudden and violent way (fire). Until there is some more info on this fire (and what caused it), I don't see what the big fuss is.
