At that time, Vegas was a place where millions of suckers flew in every year on their own nickel and left behind about a billion dollars. But at night, you couldn't see
the desert that surrounds Las Vegas. But it's in the desert where lots of the town's problems are solved.

Got a lot of holes in the desert, and a lot of problems are buried in those holes. Except you gotta do it right. I mean, you gotta have the hole already dug before you show up with a package in the trunk. Otherwise, you're talking about a half hour or 45 minutes of diggin'. And who knows who's gonna be comin' along in that time? Before you know it, you gotta dig a few more holes. You could be there all fkn night.

I have no idea what you think you saw "implicated" in what I typed.
My comments stand alone, there's no implication.

Logical fallacy much?

Seems like this is blaming the symptom, not the cause.

Perspective from a Gen X entrepreneur:

Most "employers" are staffed with people who do not understand the primary principle of long-term success, let alone productive culture.

Gen Zers don't want to entangle themselves with people who cosplay business with lousy personal lives and crushing debt.

Sam, I would have saved you 180 million USD if you'd asked how to meet the stated goal.

Tell you what, how about you cut me a check for 1 million USD because this will save even more waste and reach the stated goal:
.
U.S. average lifespan is about 10 years less than that of people who live in countries with stricter food purity laws.

Outlaw the food additives (6 months to phase out, not a year or two, which looks like the FDA trying to prevent change while giving lobbyists time to bribe cancellation of the changes) and move to local small-scale farming and baking, including smart hydroponics; not the electricity gobbling motorized tower buildings (which might have been a way to discredit hydroponics.)

Bonus: Create local jobs and reduce energy and pollution from long-distance transportation.

That's racist too. Do better than that.

Of course it's company policy never to, imply ownership in the event of a dildo... always use the indefinite article "a" dildo, never . . . "your" dildo.

Found the Microsoft Surface user. :)

How private is any of this, though? Not too long ago, anyone could have my name and address by simply opening a phone book.

I'm going to do a research project and get it published in Nature, and include a hash of the banned image in the metadata.

No. The people who imprisoned the embryos in the freezer without adequate fail-safes in case of a foreseeable power outage are.

He made you and me. He rules us, and no amount of priest-strangling or prince-eviscerating will change that.

Na.

"Boo hoo for them!", say all the Mom-and-Pop stores and American-made manufacturing who were put out of business by economic manipulation and IP theft dragonboating.

"Climate Change"...uh..fraction of a degree of heat...IF the "corrected" data, selective editing, hyperbole, and computer models are correct...means less death and more food. Maybe Gaia worship isn't all it's cracked up to be...

World population is shrinking. Resources always become "scarce." There was a time worldwide doom was predicted because there were not enough wales from which to harvest fuel oil.

Here's an idea, instead of sourcing items from Chinese slavery and pollution then shipping them across the world, perhaps redirect all that to local production in the US where the pollution regulations, as enforced, are the best. Starve the communist slavery business and provide jobs for local people. What a concept!

" fines disproportionately affect the poor and disadvantaged in our society..." ...and people who are lazy and people who are irresponsible.", let's not forget them. The idea that "victims" are always the downtrodden pious is crap.

What happens when people don't return library resources? They are stealing opportunity from other people.

Let's see...public libraries are usually funded by taxes which is money forcibly taken from people who produce so...the "wealthy and advantaged" have already paid for the resource which the "poor and disadvantaged" get without cost.

What incentive is there for anyone to produce if they are "given" everything by forcibly taking it from someone else? None.

In the United States, public libraries are descended from Andrew Carnegie's investments to educate the populace. One of the fundamental differences of the United States was the intentional weakness of copyright law to create an educated populace. Public libraries = good.
