The solution to this overly complex bullshit monetary system we currently find ourselves drowning in is to teach the next generation the concept of the *community*.  Instead of competing for resources, the apple farmer, the hunter and the shoemaker must, by necessity, form a community. And they must be taught that competing against each other (capitalism) will doom everyone's existence. Thus, they must develop a cooperative mindset.  BUT this cooperative mindset must still hold each person accountable, otherwise if someone becomes irresponsible and lazy, the system will break down (socialism).   So there must be a cooperative mindset that holds individuals accountable; cooperation is the antidote to capitalism and accountability is the antidote to socialism.  [Reminds me of a *family*](http://www.scribd.com/doc/34551310/The-Principles-That-Govern-Social-Interaction)--the most economically, socially and philosophically sound choice that alleviates us from the slavery and burden of money. In practical terms, this means whenever you view a business as a stranger or whenever a business becomes a stranger to you (big chains like walmart and home depot), you're competing against yourself. And whenever refuse to spank a family member exhibiting dysfunctional behavior (unions and the welfare system), you allow your community to rot from within.   Capitalism is an attack from the outside that will kill a family, and socialism is an attack from within that will make a family die of malnutrition and poor oversight. A community mindset does not equate to an aggressive, dog-eat-dog yuppie or a passive, live and let live, hippie. The best fruit requires both a good soil *and* pruning, and the best society requires both cooperation and discipline.
Roofs will always need repairs. These jobs cant be outsourced. But we found a way to bring people here to take them from Americans.   These are the exact jobs we need to protect.   Cut off the foreign labor, raise the wages, then prices, and we will all pay because we have to. But more Americans will have good jobs.
I'm talking about transporting the goods and services necessary for a company to do business. No rent money involved. In fact, we somewhat already have that in the form of FedEx.   Now if you don't think private companies could do the same for other facets of infrastructure, then you are just confused.
Yes, but at the same time, if it wasn't something they thought they could gain some good will from consumers, I don't think they would be doing this.   Because of Trump's unpopularity, they can make themselves look objectively good, without actually changing much of anything.
"&gt;He said the amendments he was introducing to a spending bill were necessary because of the Republican president's ""unprecedented failure to divest from his business, and the ongoing entanglement between the Trump Organization and the White House.""  this whole thing defies description"
--- \* Soapbox: It's a rare exception to the one thing that never ceases to piss me off -- when people make ""expert"" statements in the present tense, based on data that (of necessity) is not, indeed cannot be strictly ""current"". (For example, when some loudmouth ""scientist"" states that the Earth IS warming... when of course that cannot be known as the statement is concerning a ""trend"" and is entirely based on NON-real-time aggregates; the best an *honest* scientist would say is that ""based on the past x years of data we know the Earth *has been* warming""... not ""is""; the current status is never certain since the previous trend may have already ""peaked"" -- absent a real-time data stream, one cannot know.)"
This line of thinking assumes that eventually we reach a state where not one single person wants more or better stuff then they already have access to.  Even in the most advanced imaginable future, where machines make everything and robots provide every service, and all the machines and robots are made and maintained by other machines and robots, people will still have jobs. Even if there were infinite numbers of free robots, so that no task could ever be done cheaper by a human than it would cost to buy a robot, everyone's people's job will be to sit around and invent more and better stuff for robots to build.
It is also necessary to get the number of tokens per member more or less right. To see why, suppose that there were very few tokens in circulation. Parents will want on average to hold some reserve of tokens - enough to deal with the possibility that they may want to go out a few times before they have a chance to babysit themselves and earn more tokens. Any individual parent can, of course, try to accumulate more tokens by babysitting more and going out less. But what happens if almost everyone is trying to accumulate tokens - as they will be if there are very few in circulation? One parent's decision to go out is another's opportunity to babysit. So if everyone in the coop is trying to add to his or her reserve of tokens, there will be very few opportunities to babysit. This in turn will make people even more reluctant to go out, and use up their precious token reserves; and the level of activity in the coop may decline to a disappointingly low level. The solution to this problem is, of course, simply to issue more Popsicle sticks. But not too many - because an excess of popsicle sticks can pose an equally severe problem. Suppose that almost everyone in the coop has more sticks than they need; then they will be eager to go out, but reluctant to babysit. It will therefore become hard to find babysitters - and since opportunities to use popsicle sticks will become rare, people will become even less willing to spend time and effort earning them. Too many tokens in circulation, then, can be just as destructive as too few."" -- Paul Krugman, 1997 (accessed webpage 2010)."
I think the reputation Silicon Valley has will help it maintain it's position. The sheer number of talented individuals already there draws people from around the world; sending money overseas is unnecessary. I honestly don't believe that other countries have pockets of un-tapped talent, because anyone smart enough to have great ideas will go to Silicon Valley. Only an opinion.

People should be able to have sex, and be able to take steps to prevent unwanted medical issues when they want to engage in sex with a partner/partners. If we expect someone who is making minimum wage to abstain from sex, we're technically denying them the ability to be a fulfilled human. There's a reason why love exists on Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.
Google ain't going to pay him anything.  California is one an at will state.  And even if he had a contract (which he likely did) there's likely a morality clause in it as well about following company policy.
"I think that history shows that it's rarely necessary for violence to lead to social reform. There's always been a tug of war between the upper class and the middle/lower classes. The term ""working class"" was a way to unify middle and lower classes against the wealthy ""idle class."" Unfortunately the wealthy were able to convince many white collar middle class people that they were ""upper middle class"" and that the ""upper middle class"" shares values and goals with the elite. If you look at the numbers this couldn't be more wrong.  By any standard, I am a very fortunate person. I have a six figure income and some assets. However, the truly elite in the US enjoy household wealth and income that DWARF what I make. I pay a much higher percentage of my income to taxes than a person with inherited wealth does. Why is the system this way? It's effectively a barrier - no matter how hard we work or how well we do - we can't break through to the upper class. Instead of a meritocracy we have an aristocracy. This is the great lie at the center of American politics today.  The aristocrats have the many of the best and brightest convinced that we're part of the club when we're really not and never can be. They've turned us against the blue collar workers and the poor, when we should all be together. They've convinced many that people like the current administration trying to create more upward mobility are anti-american, when it's really the aristocracy that violates democratic values of equality and fraternity.  However - we can vote for leaders who might do better. We can peacefully assemble (think OWS). We can go on reddit and share our political and economic opinions. Because of these freedoms, we can safely say violence is a remote last resort.  Nothing is inevitable. Economic growth is really just people finding ways to interact and deliver value to one another. And - ""fortune favors the bold."" I'll stay optimistic and keep making money as well as trying to help my community. I'll bet dollars to donuts change can and will happen  just because enough people will get sick of the Romneys of the world hogging all the wealth and we'll find a political solution.  tl;dr Martin Luther King. Ghandi. Tunisia. We'll work it out like men- with our words."
It certainly makes the NAFTA renegotiations unnecessary. Canada has already stated that it will not relax/weaken provisions in the Paris Agreement and will therefore be piling carbon tariffs onto US imports.   There is hope however. Rejecting Trump's opinion on the matter, several states will seek out their own trade agreements with Canada and the world as they are committed to following the Paris Agreement on their own. (Governor Brown has even gone on to state that California will not remit any federal taxes for its independent, Paris Agreement trade deals)
No, it isn't. The idea that you need a college degree for most professions is ludicrous. Despite having years of professional experience in a field, employers require costly degrees that possess little relevance to the skills required to perform the job.  Specialized, scientific oriented, degrees are reasonable for very specific fields. But degrees should not be used as a bar to entry or advancement by employers as it is now.
I vaguely remember a bit in Transmetropolitan where a mom saves up for years in order to buy her child cellulose-digesting bacteria, so he won't have to be hungry ever again.  As much as I think that shouldn't be necessary, I also find it hard to consider the possibility a bad thing.
Ever wondered why no bankers got arrested? Henry Paulson needed them on board. He has gone on record saying as much. You don't make this sort of rescue by dangling people over a cauldron, you need the political will. Remember some of the banks didn't even need TARP, they had to be convinced to take them against their best interests.
How about hunting and gathering - not paid labor, clearly, but nonetheless difficult work that was done only because it was necessary for the worker to survive? Is working for wages, which you can then exchange to buy food and such, different in kind from working to produce or capture food? Is working to afford enough food and shelter to survive different from working to afford more luxurious food or shelter? I'm not being argumentative - I'm just trying to understand the implications of that statement. :) As far as a reduction in hours worked, that isn't necessarily disastrous. It may be, but it can also be mitigated - for instance, if fewer hours worked yield the same or higher income. This isn't as radical as it sounds; it could, for example, be viewed as value-based pricing of results as opposed to input. That said, in practice I think significant job loss due to technology *would* be handled poorly and thus very messy (at least at first). However, I don't think that the shift in job markets will be as sudden or severe as many claim it will be - I think that's a bit of sensationalist fear-mongering based more on predictions than evidence."
At-will state or not, I would make it a point to tell him I voted for Obama, and when I got fired this email plus my response would be pretty good grounds for a case. You can't fire someone for being gay in an at-will state, and you can't fire them for their political beliefs. What he did wasn't illegal, but he set himself up for an easy trap from a litigious employee. No one ever said he was smart though, he did some asinine things with his mansion.
Every tax dollar that is withheld from the government is a dollar not spent on death showers around the world.  Taxation is immoral and necessary for war.  I'll gladly easy at BK after hearing this.  I'm proud of them.
The Indian lawyer areas are commercial and investment laws, corporate law and intellectual property laws. You can seek online legal dispute resolution without personally approaching any arbitrator or mediator. This is the most economical way of resolving disputes in minimum possible time.
Go to a lawyer and share your concerns. Maybe some of them are groundless. From what you've shared, you could go to the police. But perhaps there is more that we don't know. If so and you are reluctant to share publicly on the internet, that's sensible. Go to a lawyer and share in private. If you are indigent and can't afford an attorney, look into Legal Aid. They may be in the phone book. If not, call the local bar association and ask for a referral for free legal advice for someone low income. Try to have a generic description of the problem, e.g. you're worried that someone scammed your teenager into doing something illegal. And just to say this one more time. As you've described things, it seems like you should be able to just go to the police and the bank and describe the scam. I don't hear anything that they would prosecute. If you've left something out that changes things, then a lawyer is the way to go. Then you can disclose everything to get advice.
I like your question and think it is a pretty good one.  Generally speaking I would not suggest talking about your stock picks or wealth.  Here is why: 1)  Most people are broke.  Seventy-eight percent of the US population report living paycheck to paycheck.  More than a majority do not have enough in savings to cover a $500 repair to a car or dryer.   What kind of money advice will you get from broke people (the general population)?  Answer:  Bad. 2)  It targets you for jealousy/negative feelings.  If you discuss this kind of thing with your broke friends they will have negative feelings toward you.  This is not necessarily a bad thing.  If you want to build wealth a aspect of that is having wealthy friends.  They will have the kind of disposable income to do the kinds of things you want to do.  They can alert you to good investment opportunities.  And your income will tend to increase.  Most people's income resides within 10% of their 10 closest friends.   3)  You can be targeted for law suits.  Given that personal injury attorneys work on contingent, they are very good at picking on defendants with deep pockets or really good insurance.  Knowing that you have significant investments will put a bit of a target on your back.  Having said all of that, you could participate in groups with a similar interest in investing.  Back in the late 80's investment clubs were all the rage, and you might be able to find one of those online or at the local library or something.  That would be a far safer.
STEP #1. Get a copy of whatever you have signed, this is the most important step. STEP #2. Find a reference to the landlord/tenant laws for you city, county and or state if there are any. STEP #3. Google for a tenants union in your city, state or county. ie, Washington State Tenants Union STEP #4. Try get a free consultation, or an affordable consultation with a lawyer in your area who specializes in tenant law. STEP #5. Between the tenant laws for you, and the limits of what you have signed try to negotiate a cancellation of the contract, if you are bound by it.
Get answers from your equivalent of the IRS, or a local lawyer or accountant who specializes in taxes.  Any other answer you get here would be anectdotal at best.  Never good to rely on legal or medical advice from internet strangers.
Yes, you can trade your properties. Go to the county recorder's office to find out the exact procedure. Deeds generally have specific language to use and you must describe the property accurately in the deed. If you want to do the transfer yourself, you will need to make sure you have the language correct. Also, you might want to do a title search to make sure that there are no claims against the property your brother is trading you, such as by a lender who might have loaned money to him with the property as collateral. (3) Yes, the normal way in the US is quitclaim deeds. (4) A quitclaim deed only lists the money (or other consideration) that changes hands. (5) Since it is a trade for equal value, there are no taxes. (6) No. Normally a lawyer is only needed if you are dealing with a stranger and the transaction is complex. As long as you follow the procedures of the clerk's office correctly there should be no need for a lawyer. In fact, a lawyer might be undesirable because they could slow things down. Also, since this is a non-standard trade, a lawyer actually has a higher chance of screwing something up because they will not give it long thought, the way you would. Also, they will use messengers and mail instead of actually going to the recorders office, another source of error which you can avoid by doing the process correctly--ie visiting the recorders office. Lawyers don't like getting out of their chairs and this causes them to make a lot of mistakes.
"Don't ignore it. If this is a non-trivial amount of money you need a lawyer. You've acknowledged that a loan exists and have personally guaranteed it, so a court can and will ultimately order you to pay. In doing so, they can put liens on your assests. Depending on the state, how the property is titled and other factors, that can include your home. If you don't have the money and are pretty much broke, try to negotiate a settlement. If they balk, you'll eventually need to start talking about bankruptcy -- that's the ""nuclear option"" and a motivator to settle. Otherwise, you need to either seriously explore bankruptcy or be prepared to lose your stuff to a judgement and having your dirty laundry aired in court. If you're not broke, but don't have liquid capital, you need to figure out a way to raise the money somehow. Again, you need to consult an attorney."
Because people with good enough lawyers seem to get away with this. Maybe they will do a trivial amount of time or pay fines less than what they made, but it'll probably be worth it in the long run.
it sounds like you don't have experience in this, and neither does your *investor*; which is a recipe for disaster (pun intended).  Your first order of business is to check whether your investor is an *Accredited Investor* (google to see what it means), if s/he's not, **walk away**.  If s/he's an accredited investor, find a lawyer who can help you navigate this process, however these are the issues:  * lawyers are expensive, and lawyers who have experience in these type of transactions are even more expensive * you actually need 2 lawyers, one for you and one for the investor * if neither of you have experience, there will be a lot more billable hours from the lawyers.....  In principle this can go 3 ways:  1. The investors give you a loan, you pay them interests on a periodic basis, and then also principal.  Items to be negotiated: interest rates, repayment schedule, collateral, personal guarantees. Highly unlikely this is what the investors wants.  2. The Investors get equity. items to be negotiated: your compensation, % of ownership, how profits are divided, how profits are paid; who gets to decide what.  3. A combination of 1 and 2 above, a *Convertible Note*.  There's a lot more, too much for a Reddit post.  There's not an easy ELI5.
Now if you want to get what you originally signed up for you need to pay extra - presumably ""something was wrong in the original ad"", or something like that. And all you can hear in the background is Darth Vader... ""I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further."" So; what do you do when you've been bait-and-switched? The best thing to do is typically to walk away. Try to get your application fee back; you may or may not be able to, but it's worth a shot, and even if you cannot, walk away anyway. Someone who is going to bait-and-switch on you is probably not going to be a good landlord; my guess is that rent is going to keep going up beyond the level of the market, and you probably can kiss your security deposit goodbye. Second, if walking away isn't practical for whatever reason, you can find out what the local laws are. Some locations (though very few, sadly) require advertised prices to be accurate; particularly the fact that they re-advertised the unit again for the same rate suggests they are falling afoul of that. You can ask around, search the internet, or best yet talk to a lawyer who specializes in this sort of thing; some of them will be willing to at least answer a few questions for free (hoping to score your business for an easy, profitable lawsuit). Be aware that it's not exactly a good situation to be in, to be suing your landlord; second only to suing your employer, in my opinion, in terms of bad things to do while hoping to continue the relationship. Find an alternative as soon as you can if you go this route. In the future, pay a lot of attention to detail when making application fees. Often the application fee is needed before you get into too much detail - but pick a location that has reasonable application fees, and no extras.

"Given that they're going to be defended by VERY good lawyers, yes. You have to continually prove your need for a wiretap and make sure you don't get non-invasive information that doesn't pertain to the case. If they were caught recording people who are uninvolved having phone sex, they could lose some of their wiretaps, or possibly all of them depending on the frequency of non-related calls and how many they kept.  In short, you have to guess as to who is involved and be RIGHT. Then, you can only record and keep conversations that are pertinant to the case.  This is also how Blagoivich tried to plead when faced with his own calls. He said there were other calls and information that somehow turned ""They want me to just give away this fucking senate seat??!?"" into ""Well, the next call I said, 'America needs a good senator, I will make sure the candidate is well qualified and raised by people who will have enough influence and respect as well as IL interests at heart' I would never give it away just because someone gave me the most money"". Or that some of the calls he was ""just kidding"" or ""blowing off steam"".  In most not-so-public cases this shit actually works if you have a good lawyer. You can legally say almost anything you want including ""I stole a million dollars"" and have it on tape without it immediately resulting in your ass being in jail.  I think this stems from the fact communication with other humans generally sucks and that in some rare instances they didn't actually steal a million dollars, they just got lucky and it felt like stealing."
