Maybe it is just the one-on-one situation can be misinterpreted as a date or date-like event by others. You don’t have to be expecting sex to be the predetermined outcome of a meal to just not want gossip...especially as a public figure. Not really all that crazy of a stance, but to each their own.

So the premium payments are part of your compensation package inherently. You are comparing an apples to oranges situation here. You didn’t have to go through your employer for coverage, you could have used an ACA exchange.

Well, the first point is the purpose of the military and laid out in the Constitution along with the help of the 16th amendment.

There is no national sales tax, and the constitutionality of that is actually debatable. It is also questionable why you believe sales taxes are utilized for policing given Delaware, Montana,…

This is pretty much a “false dilemma” logical fallacy here. One can be against certain taxes (especially ones that yield no significant net benefit) without declaring all taxes to be unnecessary. This is not a difficult concept; I am against this tax, if that is what you are asking.

...with choice removed from the equation as to whether these services are worth several thousand per year. The fact you might like the coverage is fine, the fact everyone must have it or pay a fine is not. The average person does not have many visits to the doctor per year, but the average person now must pay for…

...but he still had the ability to purchase insurance before the ACA, which he did:

Correct, and what made it memorable for him was that it was a freak accident, not a common occurrence. The fact that he didn’t have 3-4 of these visits each and every year means that he is net negative after ACA implementation (premium + services).

The point is guaranteed massive financial outlays for “insurance” is…

Editing to say I totally agree with you, and just wanted to build on your point with the below logic.

Marchand showed off his actual skill with a hat trick Monday against the Canucks in which all three goals came in the third period.

Back in the mid 2000's I went to high school in a small Midwestern city and had a manual-everything red Dodge Neon. I was driving down a four lane (soon to be two lane) major thoroughfare during the evening “rush hour”. Now, “rush hour” may seem like a misnomer given the small city in the middle of nowhere, but it…

Yes, spying means secretly collecting information. You can parse together sections of the article if you want, but pretending the article isn’t based on gathering all sorts of information

Good point, I guess the education system did fail in helping some with reading comprehension. Precisely how are the following points from the article specifically “whistleblowing” (literally defined as informing on a person or organization engaged in an illicit activity) vs. espionage (literally defined as the…

And yet, if you read past the point of NY v US you see the Espionage Act is still in existence. Modern day, the President has had the right to suppress the government employees from giving information to the press. This is transitively the presidential right to suppress what the press has access to print.

I think you are missing the point here. Nobody is arguing it is illegal to expose illegal behavior; the method of obtaining the information is important.

I never said people should not criticize; I completely support criticizing any politician’s bullshit moves. I have an issue with attempting to get government workers to leak secrets to Univision. There is a very clear difference.

Unions will not save the labor force. Human labor will eventually be replaced by automation.

You chose an idiom designed to protect servicemen in the military in an attempt to...obtain potentially sensitive information on the Commander-in-Chief?

The goal of sinking Trump’s figurative ship while ignoring the potential consequences embodied by the meaning of the idiom (i.e. getting our military personnel killed)…

For a car this experienced in crashing, you’d think they’d have the best safety of any car. Practice makes perfect and Mustangs have some serious practice.

Totally hear you and all fair points. I was assuming the sealing issue is a desired point by the company...i.e. you must buy a compatible car to use the Hyperloop, which our partner company Tesla now produces! The additional issue is how you offload cars onto off-ramps with everyone having different destinations and…

How about something like an on ramp into an airlock, then a mechanism that grabs the wheels like an automatic car wash, then launches you into the tube after equalizing pressure? Maybe 15-20 cars at a time? This would free up expressways for medium length travel or commutes while mitigating the duration long haul…
