Expect HUDs to be banned as well, they are a direct assault on ticket revenue and that will not be tolerated
When making such a bold statement, you should back it up with a line drawn from "HUD use" to "less ticket revenue" other than less drivers looking down and crashing.
...but part of the design of the core of the Internet is that it is, in fact, designed to survive a nuclear war.
Which isn't to say you'd have much of the Internet left, but if it wasn't fried by EMP, you could start reconfiguring your routers to connect with surviving nodes.
The backbone of the internet should survive as it was intended, but the more local components (ISPs) would probably fail. Many customers only have 99% or 99.9% uptime, and this is with the power grid working more-or-less correctly.
For this to actually work, we would probably find ourselves switching to a loose-coupled wireless internet (at least for the ISP piece), which is something that has been researched.
I first received my AARP application when I was 25. I displayed it for several years on my office door. I received another not long ago, at 38.
I get one about every other month. I think I'm not living in the right neighborhood...
Or he could have voted for Romney. Anyone who thought he'd be an improvement is naive. It was heads they win tails we're screwed. That's the beautiful two party system for you. Two fucked choices both backed by banks and hollywierd.
The best example was the debate on national security. The best Romney could do was say "I would have done the same" over and over. The only difference between the two is social and fiscal, but even then the difference isn't all that large.
Especially now that Obama has launched three new ones
I don't disagree with most of what you said, but this part stands out to me. I've seen it mentioned by people who identify themselves with the Tea/Republican party but I don't know what three wars they speak of. At best, I can think of our involvement in Libya (where most of Europe got involved too) and possibly a reference to Syria (where in truth we are sitting and watching the government kill it's people). I don't believe we got involved in Mali (yet).

Sounds like someone's bad software application.
You seem to be implying that under a communist workers would somehow be paid a fair wage. All historical evidence indicates that you're deluded.
I implied no such thing: There's actually only one completely non-exploitative labor arrangement I can think of, and that is the work the laborer does for themselves (cooking your own dinner, cleaning your own home, etc).
Probably close to it is service done by the laborer where all revenue goes to the laborer. It's nuanced and has plenty of counter examples. My example is someone sets up a nanny service where they are the sole laborer. They provide a service to customers and 100% of the revenue (minus expenses) goes to them.
If B-52s are fine, why not send in a B-2? It is a great opportunity for actual combat experience with minimal risk.
Exactly my point a few responses up. r00t says that it's too high risk to send in the secret technology.
We need the F-22 for when we enter World War III. Until then, we need to be paranoid about secrecy. Every time you fly over enemy territory, you risk that the plane will fall into enemy hands.
Then why fly the B-2 over Afghanistan when B-52s are fine? Paranoia means untested technology, and we're already having far more sophisticated stealth drones being put at risk and getting lost.
It's already flying.
Not in combat it's not. Same with the F-22. Sexy technology that wasn't used in the last 12 years of tactical bombing of a country with no fighters or anti-air infrastructure. Even the B-2 saw action.
Related to teamwork and historical comparisons...
The modern office better resembles the historical college than cottage industry. Cottage industry was repetitive work done at home. Other than the initial learning, there wasn't a need for knowledge sharing. Today in the office (or out of the office), we are sharing ideas constantly. We do benefit from being able to share information remotely, but cottage industry is the wrong comparison.
Or they are normal people, without much domain knowledge, forced to handle too many cases in too little time, and fit within the rules of a broken system.
I personally find that to be the more plausible situation.
This is the picture I got from someone who works at USPTO.
It is a form of bondage though, as those workers have no freedom to move to a different company on that visa. They are tied to the company. Therefore, they have to accept a lower wage because there is no threat of them leaving for a competitor.
The company doesn't have the incentive to increase salary because the barrier to switch jobs for the employee is very high. The employee could grow in experience and skill to be "Senior" while making an entry-level wage (which is still higher than back home). But the employee must work to increase their abilities or the corporation might cancel their visa and hire someone more capable.

And jacketed rounds aren't an "attachment" (upgrade); they are a requirement from the Geneva Convention.
