But the fact that they'd be in the air means they'd have more space, so accidents would go down!
I'm reminded of this quote from WKRP in Cincinnati:
"Les, you can't even ride your scooter to work without getting into an accident. What makes you think you think you could pilot a helicopter?"
"Well, there's so much less to hit up there."
Do you think anyone will want to buy stocks if the Democrats stay in power?
Wrong question. The right question is "Do you think anyone will want to invest in stocks if the republicans get power?"
With an increase in capital gains taxes, people will still buy stocks. What will change is that they will hold on to them longer, which can only be a good thing.
With more "long" investors, corporations can begin to invest in long-term strategy, rather than focusing solely on short-term profits that cannibalize future profits.
Increasing capital gains taxes will have a negative impact on daytrading leeches, possibly forcing them to lose their gravy train and making them have to do something constructive.
This is pretty much a win-win-win-win scenario for workers, corporations, investors, innovators, and the economy.
Consider a country with ten people, one making $1M and nine making $1k.
The one making the $1M also happens to be an entrepreneur who likes to create businesses and hires the lower-income persons. If the first guy's income tax is increased to 90%, then he can't create those new businesses.
Why not? If his tax rate is 90%, he's making $100,000 after paying the $9,000 to his employees. (Remember, it's income tax, not gross sales before expenses tax.
The whole "rich people shouldn't be taxed as much because otherwise they won't create jobs" is pure, unmitigated bullshit.

Also known as "the Monty Python and the Holy Grail" sequence.
One of the reasons why big business loves Windows and isn't that interested in Linux other than maybe Red Hat is because if things go horribly wrong, there's somebody with deep pockets to sue.
Yup, that's why the London Stock Exchange sued MS after the entire fscking exchange went down in flames, right?
Oh, wait - no they didn't. They licked their wounds and switched to Linux.
Methinks your premise is flawed.
So a company with no history in the industry is annoyed because IMDB won't list their pre-production film.
No.
A company with a long history in the industry is annoyed because IMDB won't list their pre-production film.
How is their problem different from any other production company without a history of releases behind them?
It's different because they *do* have a history of releases behind them.
Your problem is that you're parroting the IMDB's response, and ignoring reality.
I am a lucky person.
Or maybe you're just really good at what you do, and other people recognize it.
Linkedin are just a bunch of spammers anyway.
I got an email from them, claiming that someone I knew wanted me to join. It was a spammer - the "custom message" that was included was a single link to a spam site in China.
The email had a "if this is spam..." report button, so I used it, and noted to linkedin that I didn't know the person, and it was *obviously* spam (the link was to a spam site.) Their automated system thanked me for reporting the abuse, and I thought that was the end of it.
Two weeks later, I receive a "helpful reminder" from Linkedin, telling me that I hadn't confirmed or rejected the invitation. Not only had they not taken any action, they helpfully included the spam link, and seemed blissfully unaware that I had reported this spammer's account two weeks prior.
Linkedin are just a bunch of scummy spammers. I blocked all email from their domain since.
When you're aware of a trademark issue you have to defend it or you loose it.
OK, everybody start submitting DMCA reports. They'll be out of subscribers in no time flat.
Wonder how many false accusations will result from this operation.
LOTS. Considering how trivial it is to forge an IP address on a peer to peer network, and how simple it is to find which IP addresses are french, they are one 4chan meme away from the whole country going dark.
If someone has the IP addresses of the French parliament members, that would be a good place to start, IMHO.
This has happened before - they have a problem with their DNS servers, and the entire site becomes unreachable.
I gotta wonder who in their right mind sets the TTL of 25 seconds on a major site? What a great way to overload your DNS servers and make your site unreachable when they go down!
I believe this particular one will be called the "hefnersaurus"
That reminds me of when they started rolling out those club cards around here. The assertion was that they'd save you money if you allowed them to track your purchases. As it turned out virtually overnight the price on pretty much everything jumped drastically in price, leaving the club price suspiciously similar to the previous normal price.
It's pretty simple:
It costs money to maintain the "club". That money has to come from somewhere. At the beginning of the "club" it's paid for by non-members (sale items only apply to members.) As time passes, everybody who shops regularly becomes a member, which means that 99% of their customers get the "sale" price, which means that there's not enough non-members to cover the costs of the data collection.
The end result? Prices rise for everybody.
Where I live, there is one local grocer who doesn't have such a program. Their prices are less than all the stores which have the programs (usually, a "club card" sale price at another store is the same as the local grocer's regular price.)
They regularly get asked "when are you going to have a club card?"
People are such fucking morons.
It doesn't have any impact on the case, but it does have an impact on the readers.
Think about it - this is a site filled with pasty white guys who live in their parents basement. You mention one of the parties is a cheerleader, we're all gonna click the link to see if there's a picture.
We still won't read the article, but we'll go looking for the pic, and so the submitter will get a few more ad impressions.
For God's sake, stop researching for a while and begin to think!
