And, like so many authoritarians before you, you read the Constitution completely incorrectly and have tried to twist its words to remove individual freedoms. Next thing you know, people like you will insist we abolish the 3rd Amendment so we can have state soldiers living in each of our houses to ensure no one owns firearms (or speaks his mind, or refuses to submit to unlawful search and seizure, etc.)

c'mon, man...the phrase they use in their narrative is "common sense fork laws"...

So...get rid of management? Because the two are mutually exclusive.

1. 1. This is just another ponzi scheme predicated on the economy continually growing
2. 2. Specific to STEM degrees (?) - how will you force US employers to hire these new graduates instead of H1Bs/offshoring in order to pay the tax to keep a system destined to fail alive as long as possible?

I believe inner city Chicago is a bit more dangerous than 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. The law-abiding citizens that live there don't deserve to have the capability to protect themselves and their families stripped away.

Having a North Korean satellite crash into my home would not make the North Koreans' day, once Washington got involved.

Dude, if it landed on a public company's headquarters then D.C. would be pissed and invade but landing on a private citizen's home? Not so much. In fact, they'd probably write retroactive legislation so your insurance company didn't have to pay you and suffer the loss of profit.

That's not it, at all. They know that even if the the merger is blocked, T-Mobile is screwed. It's unverified by T-Mobile but customers appear to be leaving in droves, customer service is starting to suffer since the reps know they won't have a job in a year, and network improvements will stagnate leaving them so far behind the competition they'll look like Danica Patrick in a Sprint Cup race! Back to being serious, this will be just like what happened to Sun after the Oracle buyout was stretched out into eternity. The only difference is that T-Mobile was viable before buyout talk started and Sun was a zombie.

No matter what happens, buyout blocked or not, AT&T has one less competitor. No matter what happens, we (and especially T-Mobile employees) lose.

Bonuses are just a good way for merit to be rewarded. If you do good work, you get paid more, if you do crap, you get paid less.

Somehow I'm thinking the need to be bailed out with taxpayer funds means you did "crap work" and don't deserve a bonus.

faith is a trump card - it has root privileges when reason only has user level privileges.

You should put that on a t-shirt...

I think gknoy was probably going for the "Trust, but verify" angle.

Technically that makes you sexist, too.
