Isn't it possible the deployment of self-driving cars AKA Google cars would reduce the chaos and allow the dense traffic to actually move?

That "old version" was the current version less than 2 months ago. I shelled out the money for my daughter to have a full legal copy of PS5 and now the only way to get the bug fix is to shell out more money for the latest version. My kids just got taught a great lesson by Adobe on why people pirate their products. I say BULLSHIT on this policy by Adobe.

In my world TEA party and normal people just does not belong in the same sentence. But thanks for the giggle

Problem is the market forces types are the ones that said put a profit incentive into reducing reducing carbon emissions and then let the market take care of it. Me I would just rather have the EPA make rules about carbon emissions and then you meet them or go out of business. CAFE is the government mandating vechicle mileage and seems to have worked.

Honest yep, working for the benefit of his constituents, maybe, Bat-shit crazy absolutely.

Gotta agree with this. Used to be a firefighter now I work as a network engineer. Still fighting fires for a living.

You a funny man expecting adult conversation from an Anonymous Coward. Funny funny man.

Your previous comment said those who haven't earned it should not keep it. The heirs did not earn it so why should they keep it. Just pointing out a logical fallacy in your argument.

Also the taxed twice meme needs to die. Money is taxed many times on its journey through the system. I am taxed on my earnings, then I pay sales tax when I spend my money OH NO taxed twice. I am taxed on my earnings by the fed then by the state then by the city OH NO taxed three times.

Stop whining and learn this: Taxes, the price you pay for civilization.

Our parents and grandparents paid much higher marginal rates in the 50s and 60s and the economy boomed awfully well.

"So the private industry failed them, thus the government stepped in. Now onto the US.. how exactly has the private industries failed to provide fast & affordable internet? Where is only "slow, horrifically overpriced ADSL" available?"

Easy, try moving outside of a city. I live 15 miles east of Colorado Springs and my only choice is ADSL resold by the local phone company, 6up 1down for the low, low price of $59.99 per month. Yeah I know I choose to live in the country but you asked where is only slow, horrifically overpriced ADSL available and I told you.

PS: This applies to a large part of the United States where cable is not available. Move outside the city before you make such stupid statements.

PSS: I lived in outback Australia (Woomera) for 5 years and the telecommunications availability in the two countries is very similar pretty good in the city piss poor everywhere else.

No, conservatives believe if I have it I am not giving it up. How else do you explain the opposition to estate taxes? The heirs did not earn the wealth but somehow conservatives can justify the heirs keeping it all.
