However the State has tried many times to stop or limit how much they pay the citizens. The current Governor did cap the amount that they paid for last years dividend and the State is currently trying to impose an income tax.

The people love the PFD but the State would love nothing more than to spend every damn penny of it.

Considering that Obama never sent the treaty to the Senate for ratification, the United states was never a signer of this treaty.

The reason Obama never sent it to the Senate is that both Republicans AND Democrats were against it and would not vote for it.

This is not about Trump and his policy's. This is about America and what a terrible treaty this would be for America and all Americans if the Senate ratified it as currently written.

Trump would be smart to punt this to the Senate and let everyone see that most Democrats in the Senate would not support it as written either.

At least it has a headphone jack! ;)

So it appears Snowden gained access to areas past his security clearance, downloaded classified materials to a thumb drive and high tailed it to China, than Russia. Sounds more like a spay than a whistle blower to me.

When a phone is reported lost or stolen the MEID and the SIM card # are added to a list and cannot be used on the VZW network. Often though the first thing a

competent thief will due is turn the phone off preventing any GPS locating software to track the phone. The phone will either be sold to a person who does not

check the MEID # (and when they try and do an ESN change will be told the phone is on the lost stolen list and to please take the phone into a VZW Corp. store.)

Or they take the phone someplace like Cricket and they will flash the phone to work on the Cricket network. Another option is the phone will be parted out.

The article says that Verizon telecommunications (landline/internet) was the company handing out the meta data. Verizon and Verizon wireless are 2 separate company's. The pre paid is a spin off as well.

There is no confirmation that Verizon wireless has handed out any meta call data to date. That being said I would imagine that all telecommunications company's have handed over everything the government has asked for in my opinion.

What?

Add all the numbers from the white pages into a data base and whats left is all of the unlisted numbers. The numbers are sequential.

Bonus money is paid for sales of 4g phones.

Upgrade a customer from a basic phone to a 4g devise adds to the monthly bonus.

Upgrade a customer from a basic phone to a 3g device you get.... Nothing.

On Verizon if you have an unlimited Data plan they will throttle you if you go over 2gb in a congested area for 2billing cycles.

What is needed is more money, much more money. Only money can solve this problem. They need a new tax on all cell phones like the e911 tax. Once we have collected a few tens of billions of dollars will they be able to address this issue.
Do not worry about the cost though as I am certain right around election time a graph will show up explaining how this system will have saved us money due to the reduction in crime.

Money well spent!

Of course they will never have enough money so maybe more taxes and people will solve the problem. All of the money collected will of course go into the general fund and be allocated for more important things, hence always needing more money.

To get a restraining order in most states you see a magistrate and fill out some paper work. The restraining order is issued de facto and is a civil order. A person does not have to do anything to "deserve" a restraing order. No proof of anything is required to get one. Just say you fear the other person and get a restraining order.
Restraining orders are a wonderful tool to do an illegal eviction and steal the other persons possesions and keep any rent and security depost.

When you look at how fast Veizon has been rolling out the 4G coverage the arguement that carries will not upgrade their networks losses some steam. The incentive right now is to push as many customers onto the 4G network as fast as possible. Double data deals if you upgrade your device to 4G are going on right now at Verizon.
I suspect that 3G users will be pinched as service "degrades" over time just like carriers did when digital towers were replacing analog.

The devil is in the details.
Unlimited as long as you are on a sprint tower, roam onto another carriers tower and you will be charged for that data.
