The neighbors complained, and most of the paint is gone from screaming at the walls, so...
OTOH, paychecks for 5-day/60-hour registry workweeks beat the hell out of the ones from 3-day/36-hour FT employment, and every hospital I've been floated to has tried to recruit me FT by about my second night.
I'm working pretty hard to keep my head from swelling over that (esp. after getting kicked in the junk by my last employer, who should ESAD), but if this is how pretty girls feel since high school, I can begin to understand their lifelong attitudes...

Re: Explain Net Neutrality
This. What people really want is competition in the ISP market, and more choice. Local cable monopoly vs. local telecom land line monopoly sucks. And that's best case, with many aspiring even to that level of suckfulness.George guy wrote:As usual, the consequences of a sketchy .gov regulation (regional monopolies) are patched by more layers of regulation rather than repealing the original regulation.
Actually what people *really* want is for Comcast to die a painful lingering disfiguring death, but that's not on the menu.

The moon landings? I honestly think that might be the last time our government did something that was both big and didn't have anything to do with a war.scipioafricanus wrote:When has MORE GUMMINT worked lately?

And even that program had a large component of military R&D to support .mil near earth space operations, and a major part of the propaganda portion of the cold war. (you know, that "space race" that the Soviets declared they were never in, on July 21 1969).Kommander wrote:The moon landings?

Re: Explain Net Neutrality
This is a bit of an aside, and it's not an idea I came up with on my own, but the Moon Landings actually had a major negative effect on the American psyce. The landings, combined with the Manhattan project and some of the 1930's infrastructure projects have caused many Americans to believe that any problem can be solved if we throw enough money at it. Not only is this not true, but this attitude is often exploited by rent seekers to further their own aims. We just need a few billion more to end poverty, or racism, or fix our schools or whatever. Of course the money never actually goes to any of this in any amount that makes a difference, and a few years later the rent seekers are back for more and we give it to them. We give it because the 1930's through 1960's "proved" America can do anything, if we only spend enough money.

Kind of.

That's badly screwed a number of countries, the UK being a fine example.
