It's funny how socialism has such a bad reputation in 'merica. It's automatically equated to "evil" Commmunism.
Of the top 10 most prosperous countries, half are socialist countries. Norway, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, and Netherlands. Of the top 10 most happiest countries, the majority are socialist countries.
It's funny how much happier people are when they don't have worry about things such as primary and university education, housing, health care, insurance, transportation, etc. It's also interesting how that correlates to a more productive society, making the country in general more prosperous.
Denmark often ranks in the top 5 year after year on both lists. While they have a 60% income tax, the people still manage to have more money in their pocket than the typical American. Why? The costs of their necessities are ridiculously low because it's distributed amongst the entire population. Their net income is higher than a typical American who has to eat the high costs of living (for the typical American, almost 50% of your income goes immediately into housing [rent, mortgage, etc.], then tack on health insurance, car insurance, loan debt, etc.) While Americans are racking up quarter million dollar debts just to go to school, Danes get paid to get a Master's Degree at University. Or rather, they're getting their collective investment returned to them when they go to school.
ACA is a good step forward. If everyone pays for health insurance, the costs will come down. You'd think fiscal conservatives would be all over that. Well, they were when Romney did it, but then suddenly were against it "just because."
What size is the population of the countries you are talking about? Norway 5.0 million, Denmark 5.6, Finland 5.4, Sweden 9.5, Netherlands 16.8 million.
How many are in the US... 318 million. We have states (California 38.8 million Texas 26.6 Florida 19.89 and New York 19.7)with larger populations than the largest of these countries Netherlands, in fact 22 states have a larger population that Norway hell there are more people in New York City than Norway.
How homogeneous culturally and racial are these countries? Very.
You are comparing tiny homogeneous groups of wealthy countries to a large continent spanning ethnically and culturally diverse mass that is the US.
Apples and Oranges.
You would be better off comparing the US (318 million) to all of Western Europe (397.5 million). Only that isn't a fair comparison either as Europe has a several thousand year head start on its development of infrastructure, its road system for example first started by the Roman Empire.
Red Hat is operating right out of Microsoft's playbook.
Remember when Microsoft was buddy-buddy with Apple, and IBM?
Once Linux is completely dependent on Red Hat controlled technologies, Red Hat will always be two steps ahead of the competition, it will be seriously difficult for Linux users to use anything except Red Hat.
What happens when Red Hat decides there is no reason for more than one package management solution? Red Hat will say that users demanded one standardized package management, and systemd will only work if Red Hat's solution is installed. Wait for it.
to late. Linux Standard Base (LSB) requires support for use of rpm (redhat package manager) they railroaded that through despite debian ubuntu and others protest.
Not really as velocity approaches C it becomes a asymptotic curve as you have mass a positive mass you will never reach C without infinate energy.
If you can do all transactions in bit coin it could be fairly difficult for governments to track.
Yes, it isn't like all bitcoin transaction are public, open for anyone to see.
but you could use a new address for every incoming transaction making much harder to trace.
Indeed, the old school 1920s system of having a nigger named Belvidere driving one around is much safer for the car owner. Of course, poor Belvidere would get impaled on the steering wheel shaft in a crash.....
Or we could just have a drivers test that was more rigorous and improve our mass transit systems like bus and rail to cut traffic and give bad drivers a way to get from point a to point b without driving themselves.
... that more people care about the unreality show crap such as Kartrashians[sic] then the spiritually minded Oprah
[Kim Kartrashian] has 25 million Twitter followers, about a million less than Oprah Winfrey and nearly 5 million more than CNN Breaking News.
I remember back when I had no clue who she was. I thought people had started watching Star Trek Deep Space 9 because I kept hearing them talk about the Cardassians. Sadly I had misheard. I do have to say I would watch a show about the Cardassians, especially if it featured Garak he was the best of the characters to come out of that show.
Why did a mega-corporation fail where a single guy succeeded? It's simple:
And you think Facebook and Zuckerburg isn't at least as evil as google,
"Apple's Next Frontier Is Your Body"
Sounds kinky.
Unfortunately for your fantasies, they will probably limit themselves to the right hand or the forehead, like the original plan went.
So if the mark of the beast is an apple emblem, does that make apple the forbidden fruit?
Unfortunately observing these type of quantum interactions has a tendency to break links thanks to Heisenberg Uncertainty principle I believe. So you get one bit of info.
