Snakeheads aren't carp. Snakeheads actually taste good.
500 cars isn't very many and would merely be a drop in the bucket compared to how much money Daimler AG has.
The OP was a clumsy attempt at humor, but I have issue with claiming that Daimler would be OK with allowing an $18-50 million sale go away.
Never worked as an academic physicist, never even completed a degree apparently.
Never worked in the power industry.
Never manufactured EE Equipment.
Nevertheless knows how to power the world?
This is pretty much every liberal.......... ever.
You are right. But then without tax and revenue from licensing how will the government function?
No income tax there? No VAT or sales tax? No vehicle licensing fees? No drivers' license fees? No fuel taxes? These bogus "licenses" are just the way "progressive" governments enact regressive taxes to keep the rabble from starting their own businesses and possibly challenging the elite.
Trying to make a law suit against current valid law is just idiotic. Try to change the law instead, well if you can.
This is not a rule to follow in a democratic form of government. If it were, then we'd have to have left the Jim Crow laws in place because, after all, they were "valid". Perhaps the government has no right to tell people what, or who, they are allowed to carry in their vehicles.
If I was a paid government shill, I wouldn't be taking public transport to work everyday.
VP Biden did when he was a senator. But he's also an attention-whore who makes five times the average US household money and still doesn't have any money left at the end of the year for charity. With those budgeting skills, he probably NEEDS to take the train.
Its not worse now than it's ever been in the past. Get the fuck over it
The move is shortsighted because it costs money to hire someone and the new person must then learn the culture, infrastructure, and the business.
No they'll just hire some idiot Indian slave labor and offshore them. Cisco's been at this for over 10 years.
Have we become a country so corrupt that we now have to record *everything* in order to have even a modicum of justice? You can't get Comcast to not perform mail fraud unless you have a recording of them saying they won't do it, they only way to NOT have a police officer beat you to death for "resisting arrest" is to record it.
The cop will still beat you to death. We know this, because it's been recorded and it still happened.
As to your question about our corruption, yes. That is where we are at and you can thank Obama for a lot of it. He picks and chooses what laws he'll enforce. It's set a dangerous and deadly precedent in our nation. What's worse is, the next guy may be even less restrained than Obama.
Why should anyone follow the laws when Eric Holder and President Obama do not? Our system has lost its integrity and will likely never recover.
My wife works in HR and I'm finishing off the HR section of my MBA. It's not HR that does this. The HR people have an HRIS system that includes the ability to do forms etc. The managers are the ones that create the forms and guidlines, HR just shuffles the papers around. HR takes the blame because they are the face of the mess but in reality it's middle managers, or in my company they are called "talent managers" who have their heads so firmly up their asses that they convolute everything to the point even HR can't stand them.
We are becoming a country where the rich can do anything they want to everyone else.
Comcast and CenturyLink are corporations; they are not "rich" people, corporate personhood aside. More importantly, they are public utilities. Government has created corporations and offered privileges to utilities, so that's where the problem lies-- not with "rich" people.
Talking heads discussing the weather does not constitute a "weather report" any more than a talking head discussing politics constitutes "news".
Of course, the irony is the fact that weather reports have uncertainty due to the element of randomness, so every weather report is not necessarily "fiction" but it's not "true" either.
Just yesterday I had to engage with my ISP's support folks to resolve a network speed issue. Fortunately, I had saved the chat sessions from when the same problem occurred two years ago. I ended up pasting part of a previous chat session into the current chat session so that the CSR could see what worked last time. Result: problem resolved in hours, not days
I too prefer chat but I ran into a problem while canceling CenturyLink service. They refuse to cancel unless you call them and speak to a "retention specialist". I was furious so I told them in chat that I was deaf and could not speak to a specialist by phone. They told me that was unfortunate but was the only way to cancel.
About 20 minutes of back and forth with them I informed them it was illegal to deny my request based on the people with disabilities act. Within 10 minutes they canceled my account via online chat. It's sad I have to lie to these mother fuckers to close an account. They basically ensured I will never, under any circumstances, do business with them again.
Stellar rays prove fibbing never pays. Embezzlement is another matter.
