Stopping talking like freakin' liberal, ya crybaby.
You see, hiring Americans is un-American because this is 'murican free enterprise at it's finest, making glorious profits for anyone "willing to work hard to get ahead" (TM).

Insanity? Welll, yes. But that's the very definition of good theater, in my book.

Yeah. Look how well that's worked out for the pharmaceutical industry.

So you suggest doing nothing to arrest the carbon emissions that appear to be fueling the climate change. That is, in effect, nothing. "Slowly evolving change" will not get it done. Certainly, some scenarios indicate that we've already passed the tipping point. And yet you advocate "caution". Like I said, insane.

TFTFY. And yes, I will happily stipulate as much if you will admit that the vast majority of the tiny minority of "climate" scientists who still deny the overwhelming evidence have dubious credentials or have an interest in preventing meaningful change in energy policy, or both.
Wait for it..., wait for it... Yep. Crickets.

Actually, it is neither. It just is. As in "just is" a fact, readily observable and incontrovertible. Now, the suggestion that it is something else is, itself, a highly "political" statement clearly aimed at diminishing the weight of the fact that an overwhelming majority of those best equipped to assess the data have arrived at the same conclusion. No, the matter is not "settled". No scientist worthy of the title would even suggest as much, but the constantly repeated meme that we should thus do nothing until it is "settled" is simply insane.

I beg to differ. The whole idea of social networks is to con the sheep into providing personal details that can be sold to those willing to pay for it.

...little people, for that's all you lot are. A bunch of beggars. We will decide what's best for you and we will tell our underlings who pretend to regulate us what that is. You will kindly shut up and enjoy your bread and circuses.

So, by your reasoning, ever single cell with distinct DNA is a "life", deserving of all the rights and privileges of a living, breathing human being. Sorry, not buying it. Try again. You may yet find a way to render your metaphysical beliefs into something approaching reason. Until that time, kindly keep your beliefs the fuck out of my liberties.

A more ignorant reply I can not remember seeing here on /. Unless, oh, I see. You don't give a shit about "the little people" for whose protection the regulations were enacted in the first place.

Just yet another small group relying on provincialist reasoning to deny the existence of something that vast majority of the world's experts agree, after carefully collating data collected on a truly global scale, does exist. Same ignorant denialist shit. Different day. If you substitute "Energy Industry Shill on Fox News" for "Swedish Farmers" would this even be news?

We'd be interested to see the data supporting your 99.9% number, but we know that you're just talking out of your ass so we'll just call bullshit right now.
Now let's talk about your misguided (not to mention grammatically awkward) notion that "Your doctor is no better of a person than anyone at the insurance company." What a remarkably naive notion that is. While there, is to be sure, a wide range of expertise (and character) among physicians, comparing those two populations is almost pointless. What is an important point is the fact that insurance companies, whose single over-riding motivation is profit for their shareholders, have been dictating to doctors how to care for their patients for the better part of three decades, and it shows. Compared to every other western nation, the value we get for our health care dollars is poor, at best. Get that part right, at least.

No. They would not. Basic living expenses, common to all incomes, do not change. The guy who's left with $85 million after taxes doesn't have to worry about choosing between paying the heating bill or feeding his kids. Ever.
Jeezuz. How is this not patently fucking obvious?

Wait... What? You mean delivering small, low margin items, on a local basis, is not a viable business model? Well, shit... Wish somebody'd told us.

The numbers that actually matter to the average worker are quite clear - the economy is shit right now. No, "the market" is not a useful index for that. Not by a long shot.
