We all pay. That's how it works. Gas taxes and registration fees. The driver paid for a license. The truck had sales tax. It's a distributed payment method. Not a pay as needed system. Unless they go on a toll road. But that's a separate rant.
They worked within the margins of error. He didn't say Hillary would win. He said there was a about a 7 in 8 chance she would win. And when you look at the numbers by state and figure out how many votes made a difference in the electorial college numbers he was remarkably accurate. Don't blame him for most of the country not knowing how statistics work. Blame people for not voting because they don't understand statistics.
What I really don't get is how people that believed then could say "We have seen naught progress on the last big promise. Let's go bigger" 6 years later and decided that Brexit was a good idea. "Look at all the money that will be freed up for social programs." Money created through trade. Trade that stopped. On an effing island completely dependent on trade.
Sure, my country elected a conman, got 1% wiser and fired them 4 years later. And yet here we are again going "you know, things were sure easier when we had a conman in charge. Even though that last year we thought we were going to die or that the conman was in on a conspiracy to make us think we were going to die. We should bring him back."
Have you seen the Venn diagram of pey saying "if we shrink government social spending people and charities will step up to fill the void" and "billionaires are using money to control people"?
How do I feel about Gates? I'm not even sure I know. He increased productivity by leaps and bounds. He donates unfathomable sums of money to good causes. He has a problem in that his wealth grows so fast that it's almost impossible for him to donate it fast enough to actually end up with less money at the end of a year than he started out with but that's kinda the problem with having billions of dollars and trying to actually do good instead of paving a road to hell. He engaged in monopoly practices. He likes to eat the same thing over and over and over again. He is buying up farmland at an insane rate with the idea of big things. I got so many mixed feelings that I don't know how you would know when I don't know myself.
So was polio, measles and American citizens supporting Russian politicians. Once you think something is history you are dealing with a whole population that is naive to it and the process starts all over again. The only thing we have successfully consigned to history is small pox.
"Let us honor the memories of those we lost by fostering a spirit of solidarity and kindness."
They were lost by fostering a spirit of solidarity and kindness? No, they were lost by inaction. They should have run this by an editor because that doesn't say what they think it says.
We watched 1 through 66 recently. We will be going back for more. It's like watching someone put in their 10,000 hours one episode at a time. The art, story telling, direction, cinematography, sound etc all improve with each episode.
The data is conflicting. I think they had already made up their mind on that topic before messaging me. My reply just reinforced their decision. It's hard to separate causation and correlation in that case.
My standard reply was "hailing frequencies open."
Needless to say it was the opening line that let multiple women know that I was single. Surprisingly it had a 100% success rate. I was the best nerd.
The Hague would like to know your location.
