Lithuania, another NATO country which contributes about half of what they're supposed to to the collective defense.

The fact that prices went up at all shows there is a huge problem. We're already paying more than anyone else in the world, why can't we get something for our money instead of having to pay even more?

The irony is that if he was not able to so easily change careers, a few of his ardent fans might have gotten real medical advice instead and had their lives saved (hypothetically).

Denmark is one of the NATO countries who don't contribute the required 2% of their GDP to their defense budget. So, we're effectively pulling your weight in that.

That site is operating outside in regions outside the Ninth Circuit's jurisdiction, including in places where it is definitively illegal. Apparently I'm not the only one making strong claims today.

Definitely illegal. However, it'll get a pass like everything else illegal done this election.

The data is pretty clear, if we're afraid to discuss it, the problem will never get solved. Albeit it might be more acceptable to discuss it from a monetary perspective, e.g. "Why are urban poor crime rates so high"

I'm betting the location thing alone would still keep 99% of the present discrimination. At some point the question should probably change from "How can we force Uber drivers to increase risk of losing well-being, wallet, and car

Luckily for us, valuation does not and should not have much concern with profitability. If this was not the case, the only businesses would be the size of lemonade stands. Cardboard ones at that, that can be profitable on their first day.

There's more to politics than the election every 4 years.

The irony here is I notice multiple posts by you every day with 'political crap' :/.

The solution seems obvious. Instead of fining (those who can afford it), use that money to pay for their Medicaid/Medicare. That way they have insurance, which was the goal of this program, no?

> Merkel may not say it directly, but a very serious risk is if Google, Facebook or Twitter's leadership decides to try to influence public affairs by hiding some things and showing others. Amusingly enough, Europe already does this

That mindset is prevalent in people who can't understand any business being more valuable than a lemonade stand (preferably cardboard, so you can profit from day 1).

They're offered a lot of stock because they're worth something to the company. Same goes for new grad engineers pulling tons of income in stock. It's possibly a bad strategy for a tech company to start firing the people it va

Their revenue almost doubled from 2014 to 2015, and is on track to be a bit higher than 2015. It's silly to pretend they're just burning money for fun.
