I would have thought that all the spies would want Number 6.
When nationalistic Americans brag about our Bill or Rights, I wonder which version they're excited about: the version one gets from a plain reading of its text, or the twisted monstrosity that the three branches of government have foisted upon us.
I think it's the one that exists only in their heads.
Lets not forget the gov't research labs -- it would be nice if the U.S. gov't didn't shut down such research to appease an ill-informed political interest group.
Otherwise known as "the electorate".
You're a bit behind the times there chum. These days weekend binge drinking is the very epitome of fashion.
We as a nation are rightly proud that we've moved on from the times of lonely old men nursing pints of silty beer in tobacco stained pubs to a bright, new future of dynamic, young (allegedly) women clutching their high heels in one hand and a bottle of WKD in the other while their doting beau gallantly holds their hair aside as they're sick into a policeman's hat.
Truly, this a golden age.
Contact one of the big class action lawsuit attorneys. if you can convince them that 10K customers or more are being cheated for more than $100 per year, over a period of years, they will be glad to work for a percent.
And, if past experience is any indication, that will be somewhere near 99%. When was the last time you heard of a class action getting the complainants anything near full restitution?
Actually ignore that. In my naiveté I expected them to be transparent about the PPP stuff.
I wouldn't have a problem with paying for that... if they were honest about it.
A less drastic, but equally annoying solution might be to just turn it off for a month. See what they bill you then.
"It was turned off" is a lot more likely to persuade a small claims court to your side than "I was overcharged by 14%, and here are the dozen esoteric ways I can prove it".
Have you Americans *still* not gotten over this whole Marxist/Communist/Socialist = EVIL thing yet?
Why would they? From what I've seen there are a great number of them that don't even understand their own nation's founding principles; I can't count the number of times I've heard/read people complain about private entities not abiding by the first amendment. Getting over a smear campaign against the red/yellow terror from decades ago is likely one of the least of their worries.
Not Morgan Freeman, Gordon Freeman. We are talking particle physics here.
Yes, but Gordon Freeman would be a terrible narrator (unless you can tune in to his inner monologue).
They'll have to claim the fix the games to make them interesting, and that it's performance art and not competition perhaps.
Of course it is. Just look at the way some of them fall over; sometimes it borders on interpretive dance.
An authority is a person who can tell you more about something than you really care to know.
