I can understand wanting payment. Wanting the employer to spend "equal effort" is silly. Their loss is not necessarily your gain.

This just seems petty. Do you actually want the job? Or are you just there to spread some kindergarten version of justice?

What I'm saying that since they have a monopoly on search, they don't need to worry about this specific kind of weak sauce negative press.

The silliness is even clearer in the finale, the part about "every day you get out of bed...". You're virtually certain to die if you don't get out of bed for enough days.

It wouldn't surprise me if the savings are well worth the bad press. If not, how could a business be so fragile and reach the size of Google?

Better hope the finders don't apply the same logic, or they'll just feel your pain all over again.

I like to use <h1> in exactly this (proposed <h>) fashion, and just pretend <h2> etc. don't exist. Always have been curious if there are non-obvious drawbacks.

People also feel it's "unfair" when they don't have any options for establishing their track record today . They don't have 8 years to build up credibility, and they hope to instead convince people of their good in

Thing is, what guarantee does your opponent have that you will care about muslims when there is a democrat in the White House? It's like a game theory problem. Rhetoric becomes meaningless: there needs to be a track record that shows t

This order shows Trump voters who are afraid of muslims, that Trump delivers. Meanwhile, it shows world leaders that Trump is prepared to change the rules governing immigration. I don't think Trump is doing stuff at random here.
