So if we just destroy all of Iran's infrastructure and keep it destroyed forever we can prevent Iran from getting nukes. Sounds good.

A related bill which would loosen regulations on industry scientists serving on EPA advisory boards while restricting academic scientists from using unpublished science on the same and mandating such boards respond to all public comments (regardless of quantity or quality) has also been issued a veto threat.

Can the response just be "Thanks for your comment" displayed in big red letters when you click submit on their website, or is this verbal comments?

So apparently we just declared Venezuela a threat:

quote:

WASHINGTON - U.S. President Barack Obama issued an executive order on Monday declaring Venezuela a national security threat, sanctioning seven individuals and expressing concern about the Venezuelan government's treatment of political opponents.

"Venezuelan officials past and present who violate the human rights of Venezuelan citizens and engage in acts of public corruption will not be welcome here, and we now have the tools to block their assets and their use of U.S. financial systems," White House spokesman Josh Earnest said in a statement.

"We are deeply concerned by the Venezuelan government's efforts to escalate intimidation of its political opponents. Venezuela's problems cannot be solved by criminalizing dissent," he added.

I guess a Central / South American regime change invasion would be a refreshing change from the Middle East. :gbsmith:

I think wishing death on someone is wrong, so I hope O'Keefe falls down a flight of steps, enters a coma, and when he comes out of it realizes what a tremendous loving rear end in a top hat he is and spends the rest of his life working to help feed poor families worldwide.

This won't happen for probably another 20-30 years until the technology improves, but once food service costs become a function of capital instead of labor then the lower class in America is utterly hosed. I'm picturing "old timey" diners springing up in the future featuring "actual human servers!" and "in-person, hand-crafted food preparation" that will be an expensive novelty of an era long dead.

Food service today is what factory work was 60 years ago, with lower pay, worse conditions, no benefits and no unionization. When that disappears, there will be nowhere left to turn for tens of millions.

Well I've heard McDonald's is in decline but fast food as a whole I'm not sure. Especially with the expansion of "premium" fast food places like Five Guys or Shake Shack and I think those are doing well I know Shake Shack just had a pretty successful IPO back in February

That's my understanding is the shift towards the "higher end". Five Guys, Chipotle, etc. as opposed to McDonalds / Burger King / White Castle. I doubt those lower end places will all up and vanish but the prices at Five Guys are pretty drat close to McDonalds for a meal anyway and the quality is significantly better.

Basically go eat at Five Guys they loving rule.

Highwaymen are successful because the driver is willing to stop and let them take the goods in exchange for not getting killed. An autonomous driving truck has no incentive to stop, and if it detects someone is trying to unload cargo while it is in motion the truck can take a detour to the nearest police station.

Someone brought up the Maximum Overdrive documentary, but we have multiple documentaries on this new technology.

Boehner got the Rules Committee to amend the budget to include the higher OCO value.

How much is this budget going to play into the runup to the next set of elections in terms of hanging around Republican candidates necks? Are they already positioning to use it as a way to show their purity to the party, seeing as it's non-binding?

Quote of the night, "Today's passage of HB1228 threatens to undermine the spirit of inclusion present throughout the state of Arkansas and does not reflect the values we proudly uphold. For these reasons, we are asking Governor Hutchinson to veto this legislation." ~ Doug McMillon, Walmart CEO.

Are companies typically so overt about this sort of thing, or is this high-profile law pushing a new trend? Because I feel like it's the sort of thing that shareholders are typically against (shut up = no backlash, say something = risk some backlash) and I don't recall third party companies weighing in on non-economic focused bills (compared with say minimum wage laws); but I'm also aware I could have blinders and these sorts of statements about laws are commonplace and just pass unseen except for big social instances.
