I blame the Boomers. They gave us Debt, Pollution, and Narcissists.

The other Clinton started a slow economic strangle with FTA and such.
So there's the real debate - which is worse, another Clinton or Bush? A decision between terrible and atrocious.
The majority of jobs today aren't needed (I.E, Sales). Service will continue to grow as productivity increases.
Today's problem is uneven trade. The USA median hourly wage has been stagnant for 50 years while Asia's has increased 400% - we gave them our jobs. That needs to be reversed.
Or not. This seemed to be the real story: "the collapse of the private student loan market".
Not needing Silverlight (or Flash, or some other exploit delivery engine) makes me happy.
Flash at least caches, but from what I've seen HTML5 does not. I hate the frequent pauses and low quality resolution from streaming. Caching is the most fundamental and stable fix.
The major part of safely driving is anticipating another driver breaking the law. Doesn't look like computers can do that yet.
They tried that with "1m h1b nurses" and it failed miserably. IT gets outsourced because of its extremely low social standing in north america.
Upper management jobs are being offshored now. Sales and marketing aren't - they require knowing the nuances of the local population.
Solar has also been "just around the corner" the last 30 years. It still needs to drop the price by almost 10x before it's economical as a partial alternative - and that's not even getting into storage. "Nest" and smart use needs to be here first, then partial micro solar deployment, then electric cars - that trifecta of electrical production, management, and storage is where the economics will finally start working.
Depends how it's implemented. My locality has a 2 year mandatory emissions check for $20 that has reduced these types of pollution by over 1/3.
Uh... yea, they can shoot stuff out of the sky there. Only the criminals are armed in those places.
Ya'll watch too much TV. If you want to see what a police officer does then ask to do a full shift ride-along. It's rather eye opening.
The negative focus on officers is 99.9% wrong. If you want laws changed then vote for different politicians.
You hit the nail on the head - we don't trust the people involved. To take it a step forward, we are fairly certain based on past experiences that the people involved are NOT working in our best interest.
Never take what is offered. If there are no good choices then write one in.
Does Sanders have any chance to become president? Bush and Clinton... been there, done that, both long term disasters.
The hardest part of climbing the ladder of success is getting through the crowd at the bottom.
