"I see your comprehension gap."
More like a basic logic gap.

The FBI takes seriously any attempt - whether through cyber-enabled means, threats of violence, or otherwise - to undermine the economic and social prosperity of our citizens.
Keynesian in Chains soon?
Obama says he thinks
Indeed. If he didn't say he was thinking, even close observation could not have detected this fact.
It is also very difficult before the cockup to be certain whether "no problem up to now" means that your systems are sufficiently good or whether lady luck has just smiled a bit longer than usual. For additional info: The Normalization of Deviance.
We are in one of those cases regarding the exchange of nuclear weapons. Regarding the history of the start of WWI, illusions as to which case it actually is are not recommended.
But of course that would cost money!
I will also BRING IN the money, and this why people are looking at various solutions to either engineer the slack out of the system (bad idea) or put more slack into the system (e.g. laxer rules regarding aircraft paths, supported by automation)
some operators are saying they will start commercial deployments in 2020, and a five-year time-scale is short enough to induce panic attacks
....because this projet needs to survive at least one economic readjustment, possibly the biggest in human history ever, and a tactical nuke exchange with Russia?
If the NYT calls someone "morally treasonous and spectacularly dishonourable” that means another false flag operation is probably in progress and dead people could soon hit the front page under large banner texts.
Might become an interesting X-Mas, indeed.
"HO! HO! HO! Now I have a pretext"
VAT in Luxembourg generally is 15% (which is considered "unfair" by neighbors who can barely squeak by ripping off 20% of any transaction from the jobless hoi polloi), and will be upped to 17% in January (because the governement wants to keep the overpaid civil servant cancer happy more than it wants to reduce unemployment), so I don't see why VAT is a particular factor for Luxembourg.
agree on pay increases below inflation to regain competitivity
Pretty interesting as the stated aim of money printing (aiding in eradicating state debt and make well-connected mandarins rich, among others) was exactly to fool workers into believing that they paycheck was going up, while in actuality it was not.
> It makes you vonder how zey ever annexed ze Sudetenland.
That was easy because it used to belong to the Wilhemine Reich and the Sudeten, freshly empowered, were behaving less than adequately to ethnic germans, which were forbidden to partake in the "self-determination of people" for some reason or other.
> SA had occupied the union houses.
In a very concrete sense, SA *was* the union.
Downvote me if you like, but making a movie-joke about his assassination was JUST PLAIN STUPID AND IRRESPONSIBLE.
I am ambivalent about this.
I have heard about Hillary gloating on comera* about the frank assassination of the Lybian head of state, hounded by all the proper propaganda and JDAM delivery gear that liberal interventionists with neocon boosters can bring to bear. Yet nothing happened. Indeed, Madame is actually, possibly running for the presidential office.
comera: I thought I would fix that typo but then I decided to let it be
Oh f0rk-off, I'd bet you are the first person who would complain when you are price gouged, screwed over a contract or a paying through the nose thanks to a cartel..
Hey, hey, hey special snowflake. They make you pay, pay, pay for the willingly engaged-in entertainment.
You sound like someone who considers a salary as "exploitation".
Can anyone furnish citation needed about those "1997 Jerusalem bombings" apparently financed by Iran. It is western S.O.P. to accuse Iran of being behind any and all nefarious action, even 9/11. Are we talking about these: 1997 Mahane Yehuda Market Bombings? These, however, were Hamas, which are of The Other Muslim Sect (as opposed to Hezbollah), so I'm not entirely sure.
Take your modern smartphone and put it where the US torture report dwells on.

Merely being in service so long is no reasons to trust the programme.
Could it be that the 5-minute generation has ARRIVED?
