  1. I had to give this a bit of thought. I don't feel you should get more votes if you pay more tax. But, I'm thinking if you're ensconced in a welfare life, maybe you shouldn't be allowed to vote. That aspect of our system is broken, and I'm concerned we are reaching a tipping point. Too many people are starting to "vote for a living" instead of "working for a living". The problem with this approach, as always, is codifying it in language/law. We are all engines of karma
  2. Right before Bill de Blassio became mayor, the NYPD gave him a taste of what stopping stop-question-frisk would be like. They let homeless people start sleeping on the subways. Within a week, you had a mess. They made their point... NYC liberals have absolutely lost their minds. This is only the beginning... We are all engines of karma
  3. Article posted today in the lower hudson valley's Journal News: Tappan Zee Bridge builder laboring to find welders Tappan Zee Bridge is about 30 minutes north of New York City. This project will be going on for years. Thought there might be some people here that can fit the bill. FYI. We are all engines of karma
  4. Councilman’s idea to stop NYPD’s ‘minor’ arrests is wrong NYC is going into the toilet... We are all engines of karma
  5. LOL!!! My wife is English. We met in Edinburgh. One of my phrases to her is - The Scots hate the English, the Welsh hate the English, and the English don't care. Invariably her reply is - That's right, we don't. We are all engines of karma
  6. Understood. My point is - this is not front running. If you're going to properly address a problem, you need to define it properly. Your solution (using limit orders) is imminently reasonable because your using the correct vocabulary, IMO. We are all engines of karma
  7. I think Romney created far more wealth than he destroyed. Just look at the companies he was directly involved in making very successful (e.g., Staples). What about all those liberal-funding lawyers that are the real vultures in our society? We are all engines of karma
  8. There are already laws against front running. What these guys are doing is getting closer to an execution price than others, and doing that faster. In itself, this it not illegal. Do you remember when the Nasdaq used to have a 25 cent spread? That's gone now. How many times have you bought stocks from your broker and checked your execution price? Do you actually think the broker went to the market and executed your order? More than likely, they dipped into their own inventory and sold to you at a marked up price. Those days are pretty much gone now, especially for folks using electronic trading systems. We are all engines of karma
  9. Do you know the difference between "white paper" and "green paper"? These guys are being taxed on "white paper", which haven't been realized into "green paper" via gains/losses. We are all engines of karma
  10. How so? We are all engines of karma
  11. BUt he has a shell !?!?!? We are all engines of karma
  12. We're in agreement there. Hopefully, those working on this are rational adults who know how to fully account for all of the energy life cycles, and calculate ROI. We are all engines of karma
  13. It meets the current energy needs of our society very well. We are all engines of karma
  14. I watched a recent hearing on CSPAN where the new head of the EPA was being questioned by the relevant committee. She used that word, "best", in every other sentence. "We're doing our best". I was appalled. Keep thinking to myself - this isn't grade school where you get marks for just trying... We are all engines of karma
  15. That link is working, but that there is some extraordinary dense language. I'm not seeing anything about father's, only about "parties", e.g. A search for "father" in that document comes up empty. Am I missing something? Hey, thanks for a meaningful link! You're always good at that, and I appreciate those things. We are all engines of karma
  16. That page is "violently rejected" when I try to access it (i.e., it keeps getting reset, and very quickly). Are you sure that's the correct page? Thanks! We are all engines of karma
  17. This NIPCC group is looking more real to me by the moment... http://climatechangereconsidered.org/ From the Forbes article above... I like this... We are all engines of karma
  18. Just came across this Forbes article dated today: The IPCC's Latest Report Deliberately Excludes And Misrepresents Important Climate Science We are all engines of karma
  19. Where can I find this info? My understanding for NYC and NYState is this is NOT required. I could be wrong. Looking to learn something here. Thanks. We are all engines of karma
  20. While I'm not opposed to that philosophy, wouldn't it be easier to just vote the chief of police out? We are all engines of karma
  21. That was good! We are all engines of karma
