Really? The approval processes at the places I've worked usually require several signatures, usually from more than one person who holds an engineering title. I doubt any of us have a PE.

And nothing whatsoever to do with real products either. Zing!

You can sexualize anything. Should taking pictures of shoes be a sex crime too?

This is no simple issue precisely because of this. At some point, a skirt is so short, that you just do not have any reasonable expectation of privacy period. Intent here is everything, and not only on the part of the photographer.

What exactly about doing this makes it exciting if not for the real risk of someone noticing? If that risk didn't exist, it would be no different than going commando with jeans.

Are you suggesting that thousands of young people weren't disillusioned about the federal government in 2012? They traded in their hope for fear at the ballot box.

He should have been stopped right there. How is an agency which reports directly to the President in any way independent? The President hires the heads of the FCC (so long as they can get through the Senate pissing match).

What kind of idiotic business would just give up until 2017? How the hell am I supposed to eat for the next 3 years? Oh, I suppose that $900 a month should be enough to cover my rent, school loans, utilities, and food. Why I wouldn't even need to give up my caviar!

McDonald's is way behind on this front. Burger King has been using an automated broiler for decades, eliminating the grill cook completely.

I'm fairly certain that if you put that money into the hands of the average citizen, banks would find themselves with a lot of liquidity as people start dumping their debt.

All of them? Every single one? When you make a blanket statement like that, you're either lieing or you are personally deciding who is an expert and who isn't. We would have been a lot better off if that cash had gone straight to the citizenry. I could have paid down all of my debt and be ready to actually spend serious money.

This is a general QA problem. It's hard to get management to listen to on going quality problems. They don't want to spend time on things that do not translate into a quantifiable cost savings or income generation. It take a lot of effort and time to sell the problem.

If everyone is telling you half truths, no matter how many sources you go to, half of it is still lies. How are you supposed to tell which half is a lie and which isn't? And knowing a politician's voting record is really only useful you you can stomach reading the bills since titles are often misleading and the content is extremely complex. No one has time for that shit. Hell it looks like the politicians themselves usually don't have time for that shit.

(3) They need to actually have time to do their own research. This is why people pay for news media (if you still buy a newspaper at least). We TRUST the news to tell us what is going on. You really can't expect the average citizen to have time for much else.

I openly admit that I am presupposing no malicious intent and that the purpose of whistleblower protection is to genuinely help root out corruption in the government. Whether or not we agree on that detail, I think we can both agree that a derogatory adjective of some kind is appropriate.
