That's nice, but like upstate NY, should the rural areas of these two states always be completely dis-enfranchised?!? A winner-takes all approach to electoral vote allocation is anti-democratic. One would think that the Democrats would care for a concept that is part of their name. No, they want 10-15 uber large cities to dictate everything for the entire nation. Not very nice at all - and certainly not tenable.

You forgot to mention that they will drop "statistical anomalies" to further massage the data to meet the whims of the administration in power. I imagine successful grant recipients are currently massaging it on the other end to meet this admin's needs to keep that grant money flowing.

The indoctrination camps that people call universities nowadays are far less credible than experienced NASA scientists that have created that site to have a channel outside of the echo chamber so a real discussion about observations can occur instead of the horrors we called science during the Obama administration (gotta keep that grant money flowing). Personally, I'm not a climate change denier but I hate the current group think approach to how it is being analyzed.

You're speaking English instead of German, Arabic or Chinese, so something is working. Kudos for going back through multiple administrations for your examples instead of cherry picking MSM fad topics of the moment.

Hmm, well which country would have endured the most economic damage and would have born the most financial burden in supporting this "deal". Meanwhile countries like China and India would have feigned support and compliance. Net pollution is a bogus metric, compare pollution/GDP and the story is VERY different.

LMAO! Seriously? "CNN just reports the news" I haven't seen a US based news channel report the news or perform anything resembling journalism in quite a while. CNN is one of the worst, multiple recordings of their executives talking about their biased strategies have been released, you might know that if you watched multiple channels. BBC and Al Jazeera are still pretty good. Al Jazeera gets understandably biased when middle-east issues are discussed.

How are they signing up for benefits then? Those aren't handed out to people without ID?!? The argument that some people are too poor to have ID is a false narrative. If true in 0.00001% of cases, then I'd be happy to personally hand the occasional person 10-20 bucks to pay for an ID.

Well even if fraud is "rare" it is happening. Remember the sill lady that said on national television that she voted for Obama six times because she got an ObamaPhone?!? These apathetic elections we've seen the last 3-4 cycles could easily be decided by a 1-2 percent tampering or busing in of fraudulent voters, etc. We need to shore up the integrity of our election process on all sides. Voter ID, registration analysis, "cyber" -- and all the disinformation campaigns that have recently erupted. There should be a penalty for deliberately spreading lies. What kind of @sshat fabricates a story and spreads it as truth. They're going way beyond misinterpreting facts nowadays.

Back to the article, if they are really deregistering people based on an imperfect algorithm without sufficient notification to allow the affected people to easily correct the situation before election time, that this is certainly unconstitutional. If true, the lawsuit will be successful.

Nazi's, the only thing more disgusting that an ISIS terrorist cutting off a kids head. Imagine the horror of the meth lab trailer parks their recruits must come from.

Streamline treatment for the less-pc sins like being fat and smoking. Why is the nanny-state unrealistic utopia of banning things always the go-to solution for progressives?!?

Sounds like old data. Any citations in the last 2-3 years of any repute?

Nice collection of pros. The biggest con was casting Ryan Gosling for this. His movies are almost always better in fast forward x2. Any scene with him in it drags on more than it should. He had some weird Thailand movie that was especially improved in every manner in fast forward - even the music improved. Unfortunately it turns the moving into a 1 hour short.

We already have one of the highest corporate rates in the world. Any tax increase will be borne by the middle-class. Upper class always has a way out or they'll switch countries to avoid paying their fair share. The average citizen needs to plan on getting prepared to take care of themselves - colleges don't seem to focus on that and probably should. Blaming everything on "the man" and marching in ANTIFA get-togethers probably doesn't pay that well.

On the other hand, the world is over populated in many areas. Why don't we stream-line the treatment processes (and related expense) for smoking-related illnesses and let people choose to remove themselves from the planet a few years early?!? Besides, if they don't die of smoking, it might be Alzheimers or all manner of other even more unpleasant ends. Non-smokers will get to enjoy their retirement a bit longer and smokers will remove themselves from being beneficiaries. Nanny-state tactics are an unpleasant form of fascism anyway.. If my latest memo from the thought police is current: smoking is bad, drinking is bad, but for some reason Marijuana is more socially acceptable.

Yeah, I have a Motorola from 2013 and it still runs great, but I can't get updates. I'll have to flash it eventually. I can't imagine the number of bugs I'm probably vulnerable to by now. If Congress wasn't so woefully ignorant about everything, I'd expect them to take some action to make our computing lives more secure and protect the consumer. All the tech biggies have lobbyists working against us...
