Participant[quote=The-Shoveler]How many centuries have we been drinking coffee now?[/quote]
Interestingly, coffee and tobacco smoking came to Europe almost simultaneously, but from different parts of world.
ParticipantIt will put tens of thousands of computers out of job.

[/quote]Very interesting. Are pharmas working on a pill to neutralize Oxytocin so humans can be more rational?[/quote]
No, but over-the-counter Ambien for toddlers has been approved.
I wanted to create a fake article on fake news website and link to it, but apparently fake news is now prohibited on the Internet.

ParticipantThe chart will look different once you adjust for GDP growth. Since ’97 US is up 25%, Ireland is up 70%.
ParticipantThat’s how government works. If things are running smoothly (e.g. no 2h border wait) your budget will be cut since that other department with perpetual backlogs clearly needs the money more than you do.
Participant[quote=FlyerInHi]Interesting thing about Russians and real estate, they like to have dachas or summer houses that look like shacks in Mississippi.[/quote]

ParticipantSo, a family of 5 earning $150,000/year with employer-based coverage gets to pocket $13k-$14k/year?
Participant[quote=svelte]I’m beginning to wonder if Howard Stern is right – the office will be terrible for Trump’s mental health. Stern submits that Trump has a strong desire to be liked and all of the darts that are shot at the President – any president, R or D – will send him tumbling over the edge.
What Stern says kind of makes sense. It would explain the ultra bully persona and love of rallies surrounded by his faithful and adoring fans.[/quote]
He is used to people trying to guess what he wants and bending over to fulfill his overt and covert desires.
He must be feeling very disrespected now when he is being challenged by all kinds of people. Not just wealthy competitors, but also disabled journalists, poorly educated whites, even illegal immigrants.
You get to be the president and all of the sudden everybody feels free to argue with you. Maddening.Participant[quote=Myriad]What’s going to drive the system to the breaking point is in order:
1. Medicare/Medicaid
2. SS
3. Interest Costs
4. Defense.
But if you look at the projections, even if discretionary spending is stable, we have a huge problem. Defense is something like 50% of discretionary, but more than 50% of the defense spending is for manpower since US labor is expensive.http://www.pgpf.org/sites/default/files/0174_SS_major_health_climb-full.gif
It’s hard to imagine a scenario that will maintain the debt at relative GDP level (no increase in debt) without cuts and increased taxes.[/quote]
Can’t we just conscript illegals at $5-6/hour instead of deporting them?
Participant[quote=FlyerInHi]So Carier is keeping 1000 jobs in Indiana. Oh, the irony, under Trump, America is becoming dirigiste France.
American right wingers love French style socialism.
Francois Fillon (French translation for Donald Trump) is on track to become president and the main challenge is Le Pen. I am reminded of the opening line to the Manifesto:
A spectre is haunting Europe – the spectre of communism. All the powers of old Europe have entered into a holy alliance to exorcise this spectre: Pope and Tsar, Metternich and Guizot, French Radicals and German police-spies.Substitute communism for populism.
ParticipantElite private schools have limited capacity and the cost is the major control mechanism. LJCDS already has all the kids they want. They would just increase the cost by whatever the value of the voucher is.
I am a bit surprised that you would argue against Common Core, FLU. Important purpose of math in school is to develop problem-solving skills and common core math is doing that. It is the path that matters, not the number at the end. My 4th-grader can solve quadratic equations, but as long as he cannot explain the solution he is just a well-trained monkey.
Participant[quote=flu]I like inventing new words these days. It makes makes me feel very presidentially biggly huuge.
Now of they would just stop sending my grudgery work to Chyna…[/quote]
Keep mispronouncing and misspelling Jhyna and you might be on the next train to Beijing.
