Cut the plans, give back the money, and I bet you won't see the rebellions...

Please see Debt to the Penny - a Government (Treasury Department) site. Please find the last year that we had a year-over-year reduction in debt (meaning - a real, not paper, surplus). HINT: you'll have to go back about 60 years... After that, we added debt - meaning ran an actual deficit - every single year.

He's a liberal. The Constitution is irrelevant, and can be ignored - or misquoted - at will.

Title 36 Chapter XII Subchapter B Part 1236 Subpart C 1236.22 - rules governing electronic records keeping. In effect on January 1st, 2009. Ms. Clinton set her private server up AFTER this date, clearly in violation of this regulation.

At $18 trillion, that $890 billion wouldn't do much... Heck, it wouldn't even cover last year's added debt.

Instead we kept all those programs, and shuffled those millions of the "employable rolls" to keep the unemployment rate dropping. Record use of food stamps, record social spending, and a stagnant economy. What did we gain? Nothing - except another $8 trillion in debt... And millions still in bad shape.

Great! Beats paying $550 per month up front with a $6500 deductible... Just $1500 for 4-6 months would be a price cut!

It doesn't sound like the wages are too low, it sounds like the membership price is ridiculously low. How many memberships are needed just to cover the machines, rent, and leases, and power? Techshop SF has 17,000 square feet. With industrial space in SF going for $2/SF to start, you're talking 272 memberships just to cover the rent. And the list of equipment present - that's another $150,000 per month in leases (or another 1200 memberships). Leases and space alone are 1500 memberships.

You're looking at 1500 memberships just to cover rent and lease. Not including phones, Internet, power, water, liability insurance, alarms, security, maintenance. And we haven't even started talking about staff.

This is the old dot-bomb model - we lose money on each customer but we'll make it up with volume!

Well there goes Wikipedia!

...Rajendra Pachuri, former head of the IPCC, who stated “For me the protection of Planet Earth, the survival of all species and sustainability of our ecosystems is more than a mission. It is my religion and my dharma.” AGW - the religion of the IPCC!

Wait, so they pay you when you give them 10 kW, then don't charge you when you take those 10 kW back? You make double, effectively? That's a "heads I win / tails you lose" kind of deal... So who pays to keep the grid in place that allows you to do that?

So China pays more for oil than the rest of the world? Oil isn't a global commodity?

Just remember - you can design a MacBook on Windows, but you can't design a MacBook on OSX!

The RoHS Directive came into force in early 2003 and was required since 2006 and on. Apple had a good 4+ years to work with lead-free solder (well, not Apple but Foxconn) and apparently did so with great results for half a decade before the computers being affected. It's probably NOT a manufacturing defect, but a design defect - given that the manufacturing process has been solid for quite a while prior to this issue creeping up.

Better get there before the subsidies expire - and suddenly those cars are $7500 more expensive to the consumer. Which will probably happen in the next 2-3 years.
