This is not just a hardware issue, it is a software issue as well.I have several small businesses that I started more than 20 years ago. I invested in software to help run the business. I bought QuickBooks, Photoshop, Office, and others.When Microsoft switched to their "tiles" based operating system startiwith Windows 10, much of my software would not work on the new platform. I've been maintaining several Windows 7 desktops and laptops so my businesses can continue to work using our existing software.This is ok for the desktop work stations as replacing parts is easy. On the laptops it is much harder and they are now definitely facing the end of their lives.Microsoft no longer "supports" Win 7, but at the same time they refuse to allow it to become open source so users themselves can support each other.I remember at the time Won 10 was released, an internal MS memo was leaked that bragged how the new OS would make old software obsolete and how this wiukd be worth hundreds of billions of dollars to software providers.

This is why I dont have a boss. Its a hard hard life, but Id rather struggle through the ups and downs of being my own boss than work for a corporation. Ive worked with others of course, but as an equity owning business partner, never an employee. Ive managed to do it for 15 years now, and its rewarding. Sure, Im answerin emails on Sunday and scheduling meetings at 8 PM, but its worth it. Ive made hundreds of thousands of dollars in a year, and Ive had times where I lost it all on a bad deal and ended up spending a few months on food stamps. But I managed through it all to buy a house, own a car, and go experience the world. As I get older (Im 35) I get better and more experienced. Im confident in my ability to adapt and survive, and Im not afraid of risk or scared Ill end up homeless. I believe in my value, and Ive never in my life had to sit in front of some manager and get a performance review. I expect many of these tech layoffs will result in ppl betting on themselves and starting companies, and I would put money on at least a few of them coming back to those bosses in a few years as their boss after an aquisition or merger.

To appreciate that difference, you need an open mind and a willingness to read a one page comparison. And for it to make any difference, you need to be willing to change your opinion. Yes, the two situations are different, but forget Trump and look at it for what it is. It’s bad. In the garage, next to the Corvette? Worst of all, despite Trump’s being more serious transgressions, I think Biden has increased the likelihood of Trump being our next president.

When the out of state (actually, out of country) gold mining conglomerate (actually, a subsidiary of a subsidiary) came in to Ridgeway, South Carolina, opposition was fierce. l know. l was teaching near there at the time.The "environmental whackos" claimed the open pit mine would destroy the surroundings. They failed to stop it, and after 11 years of mining, the mine company left. Were the "wackos" right? You decide.Today, the open pits are beautiful lakes. But, to quote Wikipedia, "The mine management company, hopes that one of the lakes will eventually be usable by the public for recreation." Currently, they are too poisoned.

Having the most superior technology is not just a question of employment and economics, it's central to national security.When the Barbarians got better weapons than the Romans, they replaced them. First so did the Goths, then the Franks... The latter, fortunately established a second foundation of Rome: by the late Fifth Century, the Frankish army was the Roman army in Gaul, under the elected king and Consul Clovis.Clovis' own father was a Roman imperator (top general), or at least Childeric was buried with the famous purple mantle of imperators. So the Franks replaced the Romans… but as friends and cultural descendants.The foundation of the Franks was itself Roman, in the Third Century, and the Salian law was originally written in Latin... probably by Roman generals cum lawyers who were anxious to romanize the Germans, and helped to create the Frankish confederation. By 310 CE, would-be Augustus Constantine's best troops were Frankish, and with them he conquered the empire.With China or Russia, we do not have a comparable situation. Neither was really created by the West... So we can't afford to hope that they will restart the West sometime in the future after the biosphere collapses....The solution to the various environmental crises can only be technological. We are condemned to innovate, and that means, ultimately Quantum Computing and tech we can't yet dream of. Nothing short of that will do to find the solutions we need for spaceship Earth. So invest!

I live in Australia. Possession of guns is tightly controlled, and “open carry” is illegal. Australia is not an “armed society” like the US. But it is certainly at least as polite a society, arguably significantly more so. I base my opinion on multiple visits to the US, and lifelong saturation exposure to US culture.

"Fixing traffic" is the wrong metric. We need to provide transportation. Widening highways does add capacity, and in some places, that's what's needed. We can't just say that we widened a highway, and then there was still traffic so the investment was worthless. What would the traffic have been like if we didn't do it? Mass transit improvements are the right solution in many places, but not in every situation. A vigorous investment program in a variety of solutions is the way to meet our transportation needs.

While it’s true that doctors try to save premature babies born at 23 or 24 weeks, and millions of dollars are spent doing so, there’s no mention of whether or not it’s ethical to do so. Many times these babies grow up with significant developmental issues that strain the psychological and financial resources of families. All because we generally cannot bear to deal with the fact that sometimes fetuses don’t make it to full gestation. We’re averse to accepting and dealing with loss and death in this culture. The medical community’s ability, and insistence, to push the envelope of maintaining life at all costs, pushes the boundaries of what’s acceptable or expected. Why does no one question the expectation of maintaining life at these gestational windows?

Waiting rooms with natural light. Every one of my medical appointments, in five different facilities, has a waiting room that is internal, with no windows.Don't allow TV's, especially those tuned to Fox (not)news. I actually quit going to one clinic that televised Fox loudly while I was there for hours getting infusions. The nurses were cheering for Trump's inauguration. I switched care providers.Gowns that don't leave gaps. I'm very small -- just over 5 feet, just over 100 pounds. You can't expect a gown that covers a very large patient to have any chance of being comfortable on me, just as one that worked for me wouldn't work on a very large person. I understand Henry Ford Health System in Detroit completely redesigned their gown, with ample input from patients, and that they are very popular. Why has no one else done this? Most of all, give the patient the chance for some comfort and dignity.

Bret, if that couple earning $400K in NY reports all of their income, and does not overstate their deductions, they have nothing to worry about even if they are audited by the IRS. Republicans are running another con when it comes to funding the IRS. Most Americans have nothing to fear from the IRS because there is very little that they can do to cheat on their taxes even if they desired to do so. For the average American, their income is reported on W-2s, and 1099s so they must report it all. With the cap on state and local taxes, most Americans don't even itemize their tax deductions so they could cheat on that side of the ledger. The IRS, which collects over 96 percent of the revenue needed to fund the federal government, has been starved by the Republicans for decades. We need to modernize the IRS infrastructure, and hire and trail IRS Agents to audit complex business returns of corporations, partnerships, and wealthy individuals.

Socrates And, oh, I forgot! At the end of my four-year teaching stint in Turkey, the US dollar went from 440,000 lira to 1,600,000 lira! Four-fold increase. Those with money put their funds into a "Repo" account (that's what they called it) that returned something like 130% per day on an annual basis. I found a 75,000 lira coin in the street from years earlier and showed it to a fellow Turkish teacher. She laughed and told me that they had purchased their home for that amount "way back when the lira was worth something."

Although I agree the president shouldn't entertain any debt reduction talks in connection to raising the debt ceiling, this is a good time for the Democratic Congress to call the republicans bluff by saying they are open and eager for talks that include raising taxes on the very wealth, including capital gains taxes and inheritance taxes. Democrats seem so scared to raise this, even though the Trump tax cuts are unpopular and widely known to be a central cause of the rapid rise in the deficit. Republicans may be successful in spinning this blackmail as Democrats unwillingness to face fiscal responsibility. If Jefferies and Schumer make it clear that Democrats want to reign in the deficit, and outline a reasonable strategy of higher taxes along with measured cuts, then the republican's bluff will crumble, and their suicide mission will be all on them.

Two of my close friends, Indian transplants to the U.S., are perplexed by the concept of “cultural appropriation.” As they explained to me, they believe the concept of a “culture” being a sort of possession of a group of people is bizarre, and should not be exclusive to any single Peoples. One of these two friends is a fairly famous chef, recognizable from her television appearances and social media presence. She given her non-Indian/Southeast Asian friends sets of bindis as gifts - and encouraged us to learn how to wear saris, dupattas and cholis. Some ugly-minded people , including Indians, have told her she’s “too Indian” in her image and work, which resulted in her, rightly, doubling down on incorporating her culture, educating her fans and viewers, and sharing with an open spirit her country’s and religion’s culture with the intention others adopt what in both speaks to them.

What this article has failed to mention is the craziness and greed of the investors. Carvana, 80 billion dollars worth. Really? And now it’s under 2 billion? I’m 72 years old and have all my life’s savings in investments in various forms but never forget what my father told me during my middle school days when he was teaching me “how money makes money” and the magic of “the compounding interest,” that I should always try to find out what a company should be worth and “ son if you do not understand then stay away from it.”

What the Republicans do not want to admit is that under Trump, the national debt soared to $7.8 trillion dollars, in large part to his $2 trillion tax cut that apparently has benefitted primarily the rich. It is the largest increase in the national debt over the past thirty years. So, as the House Republicans begin to sharpen their knives, they would do well to remember that if they cause a default on the national debt, they will be the ones who will pay the price for the ensuing chaos. Even if the Republicans only walk right up to the precipice, the effect on the markets, the economy, and the world will be significant. The loss of confidence in the US by the rest of the world will never be regained. Only Chia and Russia will benefit.

Republicans have defunded our government. Not just as they are now threatening, but as a long term process. Fifty some years ago, in 1970, the highest joint filer tax rate was 70%. At that time, CEO to average worker salaries were at a ratio of 11:1. The CEO at roughly $95,700 was taxed at 60%. In 2021, the CEO to average worker ratio was 399:1. The CEO earned roughly $31,880,100 and was taxed at 37%. The corporate tax in 1970 was 49.2%, in 2021 it is 21%. The tax rates for high income families and corporations have come down dramatically while their percent of total income has gone up dramatically. Yes, they pay an increasing part of taxes collected because they are the only ones with a relatively increasing share of income - an eleven fold advantage in 1970 to a three-hundred ninety-nine fold advantage now. This is amped up by tax advantages given their corporate stock and bond holdings....and Republicans aim to keep it going that way to their campaign contributors.

As I’ve said before, and I’ll say again…my bank knows exactly the source of every penny of income in my bank account. My bank knows exactly every penny I spend and where I spend it. $700,000 suddenly appears in his bank account paid to himself from his own company - a non-entity that has no source of income. It is a company that literally does not exist. Surely someone has the tenacity and temerity to discover the source of this fortuitous windfall. This is beyond the scope of an “ethics” investigation. This is a crime committed while he was a mere citizen, before he became protected by his new federal position as an elected official. Please dear god, can no one stop these people. The have publicly spoken on the house floor that they are are going to steal everyone’s Social Security.

The author tries to be thoughtful but by ignoring the actual players in all of this, his optimism is as misplaced as that of the conservatives on the Right who reacted to Trump's election by saying it might end up being a good thing for our country. We saw how that turned out.The Right Wing of the House to whom McCarthy conceded so much power are a crew of election deniers, insurrection supporters, "great replacement" believers, and genuine narcissists who love being on social media and in the news and have found the best way to do that is to disrupt things.The so-called Freedom Caucus includes about fifty members of the House, many of them election deniers and all of them y dangerous people. We're talking such people as Lauren Boebert (who only recently passed a high school equivalency test and has hinted at believing in aliens), Marjorie Taylor Greene (an open supporter of QAnon and White Nationalism), Matt Goetz (who only recently narrowly escaped teen sex trafficking charges and who is obsessed with going after the FBI), Jim Jordan (who supported the Jan 6 insurrectionists), Chip Roy (who passionately argues America stop sending help to Ukraine). The Right Wing will make sure the next two years are focused on Hunter Biden and his laptop, and you can be sure they'll fight one another over who gets to hog the mike during the hearings.These not legislators and they have not the slightest interest in the bipartisanship and democracy Mr. Levin says he longs to see.

Or just going to grab some dinner outside my hotel when my flight is delayed, suddenly I find myself reading reviews. I'm beginning to be aware that I'm just wasting time, but it's hard to stop, you keep thinking you'll be making an uninformed choice.

After years of fretting over the state of our country, I’m done with that. Let’s have it out in the open, let polítics get chaotic and messy, and let these extremist voices force some long needed conversations to happen. I disagree with the Freedom Caucus on almost everything they stand for, but political engagement seems at a modern high right now, and that is what we need. We took our democracy for granted for too long, let the extremists and robber barons shape our country in the background with dark money, while we were too distracted by the every day to pay attention. Democracy requires all of our attention, not just those with time and money to spare and fortunes to protect. In our early days we got a lot wrong that we are still paying for and trying to fix today. But I’m starting to think that the wildness of the political scene was something we had right. Maybe, for example, it’s not healthy that we haven’t gone past the first round of votes for Speaker since 1923. It’s not “just politics”, it is life or death, freedom or autocracy, abundance or decline, so let’s treat it accordingly and see whether the values this country professed at its founding are still inspiring enough today to win another round in the battle of ideas.

It’s a Mad Mad World The last time I used American Airlines (on a code-share airline but booked via American Airlines) the check-in agent took explicit pleasure to share with me his indifference to my wish to obtain a boarding pass -- so as not to wait curbside until the code-share partner airline employees got back from their two-hour break. There's something to be said for "career" airline personnel paid well enough to tough it out till they reach retirement age. Like your old high school teacher who's "over" their lifetime profession but hanging on for a few extra years, counting the days until they get their pension.Who knows, perhaps the other airline alliances are equally awful.

While living in Beijing in the early 2000’s, I watched while loads of American businessmen turned over the keys to the kingdom -largely intellectual property and know-how- to Chinese companies (that by law were associated with the Chinese government, and by extension the Communist Party) to get a slice of the Chinese market in joint ventures where the Chinese partner was/is the controlling interest. At the same time, American universities trained thousands of Chinese and other foreign national students in science and engineering. Some stayed; many returned to China because their experience in the US was not particularly welcoming, verging on racist. Still is, as evidenced by the steady rise in racially motivated hate crimes. At the time, it was predicted that the Chinese would overcome the US higher education system in STEM fields within 30 years. It has not taken that long. And now we have regressive Christo-Fascist parents across the US demanding to be in charge of public education, banning books and science, restricting girls, and allowing their sons to play video games and watch porn instead of studying. This was never going to end well…

One frozen pizza, topping, as it were, several online surveys, is glaring in its absence here.So let me introduce to (some of) you the one and only ... Home Run Inn.Based in the Chicago suburbs and shipped nationally for around $8.00/27-33.5 oz., Home Run Inn pizzas are parbaked with a yeasty, beery, buttery, slightly crunchy medium-thickness corn oil crust, and in their richest variants - Meat Lovers', Sausage and Pepperoni - a decidedly higher ratio of combined protein and fat to carbohydrates than almost all their rivals (with the exception of the aptly-named America's Choice Triple Pepperoni from the Save-a-Lot chain of discount grocery stores, fully 260 of whose 430 calories per serving, or c. 60%, come from fat alone; I love it almost as much as I do Home Run Inn).At Meijer stores here in the midwest, and at Publix stores in Florida, Home Run Inn pizzas go on sale often, for $5.79 or so, with Publix running the occasional Buy One, Get One Free sale. I welcome fellow HRI fans to chime in.

So fiendishly clever, so wildly original, so devilishly challenging that this might well be my nominee for Puzzle of the Year. It has LATE SHIFT to compete with, but still... I had to work much harder on this one. I was tearing my hair out in the NW and had to go elsewhere to find out what the theme was. Now if I'd known GROWLERS -- but I've never in my life heard of them. I know my kegs, my steins, my vats, my taps, even my simple glasses -- but what the hell is a GROWLER. Without GROWLERS, the theme cannot be figured out in this section. All you know is that you have a rebus of some sort.I moved to the NE corner where I was stymied as well. So I went directly to the revealer, filled it in patiently, and then went back to the NE where FORCEPS (I had the EPS) broke it open for me. There was, you see, no other surgical instrument ending in EPS.My mouth fell open at RO? for the place in the 1947 news. ROSWELL, of course!!!! SWELL!!!! So in this one I took the development in the other direction -- going from SWELL to SWEL to SWE to SW to S.And now, finally, I was ready for my challenge in the NW. As I went from G to GR to GRO to GROW, I saw that my answer at 4D was GROWLERS -- whatever the heck they are. And, tada, finished!!!!!!Just wonderful, Dan and Quiera! You challenged me, you baffled me, and ultimately you made me feel really smart. I loved this puzzle!!! It's a real BEAUT. Kudos!

Phyliss Dalmatian Haha... good point from a rich 'consumer' point of view.But I was talking about the way the crazy high fashion market in food and clothes (not watches :-) does actually have a wider longterm impact on 'lower' culture - and people like you or me who don't have to worry about a rich consumer's 'investment' being consumed - because we get a delayed reward in our cookery books and wardrobes, and on our plates.A lot of Haute Couture is only as they say in the trade 'directional' rather than something even rich people would actually wear.Similarly, a lot of pretentious expensive food culture is more directional than edible.

I believe the pandemic has exposed the vulnerability of supply chains when concentrated in a single country. Also, China has used its leverage as a large trading partner to coerce other countries economically.For instance, Beijing halted rare earth shipments to Japan for one month when that country detained the crews of Chinese boats which trespassed into Japanese waters. Chinese citizens were also urged by the state-run media to boycott South Korean exports after that country decided to induct a US-made anti-missile system. And when small Lithuania upgraded ties with Taiwan, Beijing blocked 90% of Lithuanian exports into China as punishment.All these examples should serve as a cautionary tale to countries seeking to expand trade with China or base supply chains there. Further economic integration will only give Beijing further leverage over countries. The need of the hour is to shift supply chains to democracies such as Mexico, India and Indonesia or at least to friendly countries such as Vietnam.The US also needs to implement an ambitious trade strategy to counter China’s position as the largest trading nation. China has already displaced the US to become the largest trading partner of South America, Africa and Southeast Asia.

The picture captioned "Flooding along the Sacramento River" needs more explanation. That is the Yolo Bypass, an area that is farmland when it's dry and wetland when it's wet. During heavy flows in the Sacramento River that might threaten the levees protecting Sacramento weirs (gates) in the levee are opened to flood the Yolo Bypass. In the past this might occur in more years than not but this year is the first time the Bypass has filled in ten years. Long-time Sacramentans are used to driving over the water on an elevated causeway as they head west from the city. There other similar flood-control structures elsewhere on the Sacramento River.

I know of 2 relatives who have a permanent falling out because of this same loan situation. The lender said "when you can" and the borrower believed that this meant "no pressure" with time to recoup and recover.But the borrower felt that the lender would see attending to accumulated necessary repairs to their home as reasonable, and that it wouldn't affect their strong, trusting relationship.Wrong! The lender's feelings were hurt, just as yours were, leading to a permanent rift. As soon as those feelings were made known, the borrower paid back with generous (unrequested) interest.Still, it was too late. And a completely unnecessary rift -- with all the attendant estrangement and ugliness -- remains in their family. Reach out. Fast. Say you're so glad things are going so well. That you're moving toward retirement with upcoming expenses and, no pressure, but you wonder if they are ready to return the $X,000.Done. Everyone's compassion, goodwill and dignity remain in place.

Four of his employees died at The Pulse nightclub shootings.Founded and ran a tax exempt charity, Friends of Pets United.Was mugged in 2016.Voted "nay" on the House fiscal 2023 spending bill before he was ever sworn in.Instead, they elected someone who lied about all of the above and:Has a criminal case filed against him in Brazil for fraud.Has most certainly violated election law reimbursement claims.Had a gross income was $55,000 in 2020, but was able to loan his campaign $700,000.00. They elected a swindler, but did't know this until after the election unfortunately.

Annie Perhaps it's a bit more change to stormy weather* than "climate change," which, in reality, is the weather conditions prevailing in an area in general or over a long period of time. California is in a well-documented long-period of drought, not storms (which will not help the drought much). Today, in SoCal there's a 65 pc chance of rain at 4 pm. By this Thursday the chance of rain drops to 5 pc. Not really long term.

I have this uneasy feeling about all this Tec-by-the-train-loads. Seems to me buyers like you 'n me are beginning to get overwhelmed by all new and fancy technology that few really understand and possibly half the population deemed as buyers never really needed to deal with. I think we are seeing a massive revaluation that is now exposed because of rising scarcity of extra 'just for kicks' money'. Much of TV advertising and store openings is not guaranteed to result in rewarding sales when cash get tight. Just go back to where we were 10-20 years ago and you'll find the world will not sink. That appears to be a major reason for new spending with money that was not really available in the first instance.

Richard Blaine There's a certain satisfaction in seeing McCarthy getting his comeuppance. McCarthy has always lacked a moral compass. He tries to figure out which way the wind is blowing & then head that way. No wonder some don't trust him. The radicals on the right have no desire to govern, only to cause chaos & try to jam their way into more power. The country is against them, & the party should be as well. The GOP needs to find a more rational & courageous moderate to be their speaker & then force the radicals to fall in line. Even if it means threatening to fund challengers to them in 2 years. Having said that, there's something to be said for spending curbs in exchange for raising the federal debt. Will we ever fix the ballooning federal deficit, or will we watch it spiral out of control? Earmarks to direct federal money to individual projects are out of control. Earmarks vanished for a decade after 2011 following the “bridge to nowhere” & other embarrassments. Last year's $1.5 trillion omnibus spending bill contained no fewer than 367 pages of pet projects that lawmakers earmarked for their home state or district.

"content": "Richard Blaine There's a certain satisfaction in seeing McCarthy getting his comeuppance. McCarthy has always lacked a moral compass. He tries to figure out which way the wind is blowing & then head that way. No wonder some don't trust him. The radicals on the right have no desire to govern, only to cause chaos & try to jam their way into more power. The country is against them, & the party should be as well. The GOP needs to find a more rational & courageous moderate to be their speaker & then force the radicals to fall in line. Even if it means threatening to fund challengers to them in 2 years. Having said that, there's something to be said for spending curbs in exchange for raising the federal debt. Will we ever fix the ballooning federal deficit, or will we watch it spiral out of control? Earmarks to direct federal money to individual projects are out of control. Earmarks vanished for a decade after 2011 following the “bridge to nowhere” & other embarrassments. Last year's $1.5 trillion omnibus spending bill contained no fewer than 367 pages of pet projects that lawmakers earmarked for their home state or district. Congress brought home the bacon for some 5,000 separate earmarks at a cost of $9.7 billion. Insane. The GOP group of 20 is also seeking to heavily fortify the U.S. border with Mexico.

The source of the current decline accelerated during the Reagan/ Thatcher partnership when they promoted the idea that government was at the bottom of most of our problems. The result is that the economy is regulated just enough for the wealthy to gain more wealth and those on the bottom to scrounge around for scraps. Brexit promised a fool’s paradise of a past that never existed. Instead, it’s helped create a modern version of Dickens England. Imagine if all the wealth of London real estate was spent on social needs.

Krista The actual non-sense is your argument. First, the credit card analogy is misleading, unless you happen to have a printing press in your garage that can lawfully print money. The United States does, and so long as the dollar is recognized as the reserve currency, we are spending OPM. If, as these fools threaten to do, we reneg on our obligations, then that debt will become real in a very painful way. Second, the notion that the government simply needs to reduce spending everything will be fine is completely false. If the entire “discretionary” budget (i.e. the Defense Department, the EPA, etc. - EVERYTHING the federal government does) were eliminated, we would still be $200bn in the hole. Third, you are not paying more for eggs because the currency has been devalued. Inflation is a global problem. In fact the dollar is trading at record levels. Roughly 60% of the national debt has been run up under Republican administration - 25% under Trump alone. They only care about it when they think they can dupe people like you into voting for them. As soon as they regain full power, they will go right back to tax cuts that never actually pay for themselves and unfunded wars. The last time we had a balanced budget was under Bill Clinton, the last time we were even moving in that direction was under Barack Obama.

Contrary to conventional wisdom, the best way to build a multiracial coalition is not by meeting in the mythical middle. The only way for the Dems to win back the white working class is to move well to the left, and own that move. Stand strong, unified, and proud about it. Stand with absolute confidence about it.Centrists and moderates shoot this in the foot when they seek compromise. Because that compromise can't help but drastically weaken the effects of an all-encompassing agenda toward equality and justice for all. By definition, the most effective public policies, the ones that helps the most people, in the most timely fashion, can't be watered down via the process of compromise. They must maximize benefits, the pool of beneficiaries, and timelines. Falling short on any of that reduces its effectiveness and opens itself up to demagogues on the right.In short, the Dems have to go big, all-inclusive, and now. Anything short of that keeps the door open to the MAGA movement, which is essentially fascism in new clothes.

L1 (I'm 68 and used Match and Plenty of Fish for 8 years before meeting my wife 4 years ago.)Folks routinely have knee-jerk biases that rule out candidates before first communication. They think they need someone younger, beautiful, rich, fit, with a horse, living on the coast, etc. Anything that prevents folks from giving you a chance is a liability. When folks get to know each other enough to find they are attracted, they discover their knee-jerk reactions no longer apply. So craft a profile that will get that first contact, and work from there. As far as I'm concerned, L1 has zero obligation to state either her health status, nor things effecting her sexuality unless explicitly asked by someone that has contacted her.Second: Not saying something is not a lie. I would go further than that and argue that a "white lie" used to open the door, but promptly acknowledged is also fair game in the dating world (though the perpetrator of the white lie has to be prepared to accept the consequences.) Years ago I, at 36, responded to an ad by a woman that billed herself as 39. Before the end of our first date she told me "I need to tell you I'm 42, but I've faced such bias about my age this is the only way I could get much in the way of responses." Since I was already hooked, her white lie immediately acknowledged, didn't bother me in the least.Misleading Photographs are NOT fair game whether they portray you as years younger or pounds lighter.

GWTSMDA That loyalty still exists. I know of 2nd generation owners who would like nothing else but to insure their employees would still work at the company after they are gone. It is not the employer/employee relationship that is the problem. Financial markets drive employee investment. In the end, employers have little say. The fact that at some point in a company's existence employees become assets that upon sale turn into a cash is the main driver and their value is ultimately determined by the next owner. Every business has a future value and all its assets, including its employees, are marked to market. And if the market says less is more, then employees are cut. If the market has no immediate say, as with the 2nd generation employers I know, they stay.

"content": "GWTSMDA That loyalty still exists. I know of 2nd generation owners who would like nothing else but to insure their employees would still work at the company after they are gone. It is not the employer/employee relationship that is the problem. Financial markets drive employee investment. In the end, employers have little say. The fact that at some point in a company's existence employees become assets that upon sale turn into a cash is the main driver and their value is ultimately determined by the next owner. Every business has a future value and all its assets, including its employees, are marked to market. And if the market says less is more, then employees are cut. If the market has no immediate say, as with the 2nd generation employers I know, they stay.\n",

VC funds tend to lock up investor capital for 7-10 years. And only about 2/10 portfolio companies make up a majority of the returns. What is true is that low investor confidence results in more trade sales and fewer IPOs. This is where the vc backed company is sold to another company. Often the buyer will require the company sell assets to settle debt. Venture capital investment is not the same as a loan. It’s entirely speculative and high risk. Returns are often largely reinvested into new opportunities/other companies. It is fashionable to hate on capitalism and finance but the truth is many companies would not even have a chance to exist without it, and workers would have even fewer jobs to compete for.

The make china great party-which opened diplomatic relations with china in 1971 and subsequently off shored millions of decent jobs to China, has slashed education and health care benefits for average Americans, sided with the special interests who cause the cost of education and health care to keep rising, slashed taxes for their ultra-wealthy donors and corporations like oil companies donating to them(and prevented the IRS from going after ultra-wealthy tax cheats and corporations by slashing their budgets to the bone), demoralized the EPA(scientists left in droves because of Trump just as the damage from climate change got worse). The far right party in fact is the Drive America into Decline party. Some economists predict China will have a bigger share of world GNP by 2100 and the far right party is trying to ensure that it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.It is very clear that the far right party wants to keep cutting taxes for their billionaire donors-and preserve those cuts and tax loopholes, and allow them to massively commit tax fraud and avoid paying taxes. They slashed the IRS budget and only 13 percent of questions from average taxpayers are even getting through to the IRS.They even want to do away with the IRS and create a national sales tax which sounds completely crazy. How will sales taxes ensure 12, 28 or 35 percent taxable rates when they claim the deficit is already high ? The far right party has become unhinged

JEH The very wealthy (whose income comes mostly from investment earnings) definitely pay a low share, thanks to the lower rates on investment earnings and things like the pass-through income tax deduction. The working poor, while they may not pay a lot in income taxes, have payroll and sales taxes to pay (and sometimes property taxes). Also, in most countries health care is provided through the tax system. So if you include healthcare expenses (see the work of Gabriel Zucman and Emmanuel Saez), American "tax" rates jump up. (I realized this when I moved to Canada and saw my taxes rise but my health care premiums fall, basically offsetting each other.) In general, wealthy (and even middle class) people are taxed at much lower rates in the US than they are in other advanced nations. The poor are taxed less, but also have poor safety net benefits. So overall, the US system is far more favourable to the wealthy and upper middle class than are other nation's systems.

Magical thinking indeed. Nobel laureate Elinor Ostrom, in her seminal book "Governing the Commons" (1990) devotes a full chapter to the disputes over the Colorado River and multiple attempts to litigate and re-negotiate the relevant "water rights," including not only the "upper" and "lower" basins and the 7 states and various Native American parties, and Mexico, but also smaller jurisdictions and consortia within each state.While she has multiple examples of smaller and more "traditional" societies coming up with workable solutions to the so-called "tragedy of the commons," the sheer size of the problem of the Colorado River (including the numbers of people, numbers of jurisdictions and competing parties and the magnitude of economic interests and propensity to engage armies of lawyers) practically requires that the U.S. government impose a solution.Yes, then it will be taken to court and probably all the way up to the Supreme Court. Unfortunately, the current majority seems enamored of the ancient formula: Might Makes Right (in this case, "Might" = "Money" and I fear they will favor the biggest and wealthiest corporations who have a stake in the water rights).

She was referring to renewables and fracking as all us suburbanites understood, but those from coal mining towns were adamant about their hatred for her. Instead of digging in and finding out more about her ideas, they were bamboozled by a city slicker from NY, the quintessential image of someone they SHOULD have mistrusted. And so there, in their dead end jobs in a dying industry, they remain.Is that the outcome they were hoping for? Is that what you think best served them? Did they learn even a tiny lesson, or did they just become more hard core MAGAs?

Brand this on to your forehead. You are totally and the only one looking out for your welfare in the working world, not corporations, not unions. The loyalty arrow only goes one way from you to the company, there is no return.Keep your eyes and ears open to what is going on in the world and company. If there is talk of a layoff or even downturn get out first rather than be in a crowd of people looking for work.The union will make sure the company follows the rules, but you will still be laid off and the union officials will still be getting paid. If you do have a union make sure you get a withdrawal card or they will make you pay an initiation fee all over again.If you are laid off you are entitled to unemployment benefits, sometimes the union can help with getting that, but in a mass layoff the unemployment agency is usually overwhelmed. Ask the company for severance, ask the union to get you severance, you may be turned down by both, but you have nothing to lose. Ask for health insurance, same deal. COBRA is very expensive.Cut back on your expenses immediately, if we go into a recession you could be out of work for over a year. Consider moving, consider changing careers, you may have to dumb down your resume to get work in another field.I've been where you are now, it is not fun, it can be humiliating, but it is survivable for you and your family. Good Luck

Republicans should really be leading by example. If the Freedom Caucus members feel strongly about this issue, they'll no doubt have a list of cuts to spending in their home districts. They'll also be open to tax increases to replace deficit borrowing, which only makes sense given that the era of massive deficits was launched by Reagan's cutting taxes on the wealthy so we could turn around and borrow the money from them.

artist I went to a state university in 1969. Tuition was $400/year. My parents both worked and earned $8,000/year. So my tuition was 5% of their income, which was below the median income of $9,400. The same state university tuition today is $7,070/year. So to spend the same fraction of their income, my parents would need to earn over 140,000/year, compared to a median of $89,000/year. In other words, tuition has increased over 17x while median income has increased 9.5x.

And there's a damp patch in my kitchen wall that needs looking at if I have time because it could be MI6. Had to remove some bits of MI8 wallpaper recently so it might be necessary once again. If I'm feeling creative after that, I might just LI4 a portrait in my sketchbook before the daylight has DI6. I definitely won't ME6 with the wiring of the overhead lights that aren't working; an electrician will have to come. Typically a man...like in today's Bee where there are no mad or ad ones but there are those standing in LI4 and others stuck in the MI6.😉When the electrician comes I want to discuss how to save more than just nickels and DI4s. Solar panels on the terrace? A small WI8 in the back yard? How would that work? I expect sooner or later lots of open spaces will be WI10 to the hilt, so why not all yards? Oh. Yeah, you're probably right...the noise and the disruption of nature and neighbors.Never MI4. We're just beginning to work on alternative energy sources. Better, and quieter, technology is coming soon. Until then-- further reduction of consumption is advised. Reminder to myself: Have the electrician install LED spots when doing the rewiring.

The fund should be bolstered through more funding by other wealthy countries, like the U.S., the U.K, France, and Switzerland.Military intervention, conversely, is a dreadful idea. It might well hasten the loss of the rainforest.

That is, the average White American has a net worth ten times as high as the average Black American, and that gap is rooted in residential racial discrimination (i.e., redlining, urban renewal, etc.).A must-read on this subject is "The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America" by Richard Rothstein...So is "The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together" by Heather McGhee.

No Open-House Party. Influencers Just Want an Open Door. Developers are teaming up with niche influencers who trade targeted posts for entry into luxury residential buildings. It was still dark on a recent Tuesday morning when the photographers began gathering in the lobby of Sutton Tower, an Upper East Side skyscraper that was still under construction. By the time the sun had broken over the Manhattan skyline, 30 of them were snapping away in the penthouse, creating social media content for a combined following of nearly two million.

Please I wish they'd just go away. A lot of people have difficult relationships with their families or have suffered loss. Yet most of them will never be able to give their families the finger after banking an inheritance of 30 million pounds from their granny, let alone a Netflix deal and a plush palace in billionaire Oprah's neighborhood. Enough with all the entitled attention-seeking.
