All this revenue that could be pulled by the one time largest shipper in the US, but for some reason, they keep losing billions a year.

Governor Nikki Haley, R-SC, who appointed Scott, is also a fairly prominent South Carolina politician. (After all, she's the governor.) Haley's parents immigrated from India; she isn't descended from slaveowners either.
Debatable. Slavery has existed in India for quite a long time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_India
Assuming that the United States had cornered the global market on slavery is very short sighted.
Its a very sad state in the world that any article - even those who not even talk about global warmning - get dragged into that flame war by the deniers.
I think sarcasm would be more appropriate then denier. You know, humor.
Of course it could also be a reaction to past performances of science chicken little prognostications.
As a 1099, you are not an employee and the company is not responsible for any benefits. So the company can on the fines for the ACA.
I found it easier to start my own company. Yes there are painful trade-offs (wearer of many hats), but if I'm putting sweat equity into something, I'd like to be the beneficiary. I get to dictate direction and scope, and feel so much better about my future.
Another business that can't survive without tax payer money to help keep the costs down on a vehicle that only wealthy folks can afford. Brilliant.
I'd be willing to bet you're one of the ones that wanted to shift healthcare from those that currently don't have it from those that have it leaving those that currently have it not having it due to it's unaffordability.
Ouch, my brain!!
All of these media "giants" became giants because they offered alternatives. Yet, they all think that their business model will be eternal. The studios fought against cassette tape recorders, VCRs, video rentals, streaming TV, MP3s, torrents, iTunes, time shifting. In other words, anything that made it more convenient for viewers to -- you know -- view their content was seen as something horrible. If they had their way, we would adjust our schedules around the 6PM Tuesday timeslot to watch some sitcom. Why do they fight technology so fiercely when they should be embracing it? Find out what people like to do and offer a solution... Or, develop a new way and people will flock to it.
It's not fighting the technology that is the issue, it's about fighting the distribution method that is their business plan. If they could quickly monetize the new distribution methods, they would embrace the change. The problem is that large corporations are not agile enough to adapt quickly enough to the ever changing technological shifts that take place today. They invest billions (along with tax payer funding at times) in an infrastructure that is meant to provide a stream of income to profit from, only to be obsoleted in a shorter time frame then was projected. These large companies can not just change on a dime and expect to stay profitable.
Regulation gives everyone a nice level playing field.
It also ensures that inventiveness is removed from business.
Really? Have you *seen* the proliferation of charges the airlines invented, to boost the bottom line? They must employ the equivalent of Einsteins and Shakespeares of customer ripoff to come up with those.
Yes (or do you mean the govt mandated 9/11 fees?). And it's up to you as the consumer to pick which airline you wish to fly. And who are you to tell a business how much they can or can't charge? The market will determine cost. Stop being a lazy consumer.

It should be up to the airlines whether or not allowing voice calls would cater to their passengers, but airlines should have leeway on how they enforce their policy, such as being able to forcibly disembark a passenger immediately upon violating a voice-call prohibition.
How dare you let businesses determine their own methods of business. You NEED the government to tell you how to run your business since you suck at running it and some lifetime politician knows more about your business then you do.
I bet if the "suspect" was named "John Smith" and white he might not have been arrested.
I'm surprised that didn't make it into the summary.
To add more quotes for you, it's called "Race Baiting."
... even a tricycle can become deadly.
Stop blaming the car.
The problem is the driver.
That Porsche may have 600 hp, but in the hand of an excellent driver, it would be still a very safe car.
Exactly. It's like blaming the gun.....just sayin.
Pulling the life support or not assisting to keep someone alive (living will) is different then assisted suicide.
Yes, it probably was an over simplification of a very complicated matter. When does life begin and where does it end. Defining suffering would be an issue here. If someone is suffering from depression and want to commit suicide, is that justification to aid that person with it? Or are they in constant physical pain? The there would have to be some kind of measurement to decide if an assisted suicide is warranted. Then who would make that decision on said suffering?
Since someone(s) justified abortion to pass the highest court, why not assisted suicide? They are akin to taking a life IMO. It's just the circumstances that differ.
Folks don't seem to mind killing them while they are in the womb, so why wouldn't it be valid to do the same for someone who is actually suffering?
The slippery slop here is who is responsible, because it will be challenged. You are of sound mind and body, but then a grandchild will take the doctor/hospital to court, because there is no way grandma would kill herself. Talk about having a super-iron-clad-irrefutable contract requirement.
For God's sake, stop researching for a while and begin to think!
