      Supreme Court lifted restrictions on the travel ban...

      For now they overruled the lower courts rulings...they are hearing a consolidated case next month challenging. No chance though they stop it.

        I may hate the metric system, but it makes way more sense than the crap we use...

          The metric system is better for science. But a foot can be divided by 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, and 1/6ths and come out with an even number of inches, that's the beauty of a base 12 system. 1/3 of a meter is .33333 meters, or 3.3333 decimeters, or 33.333 centimeters. 1/3 of a foot is 4 inches.

          Fahrenheit is also better for every day living than Celsius; 0-100 in Fahrenheit encompasses most every day temperatures. 0-100 in Celsius covers the range of liquid water.

              That's why the CEO is getting paid 45MM. Do you not understand our capitalist system?

                The Brits and Aussies have this too. A friend of mine fell seriously ill during a study abroad program in Australia. The hospital there actually gave her the treatment reserved for people with the private health insurance because they were refurbishing some of the standard care rooms and since she was American, she wasn't going to have any family visitors to help cheer her up.

                  According to the companies, the CEOs aren't getting paid $45MM, because that would be illegal for the past 20+ years to pay someone more than $1MM in cash, annually.

                  Stock options cost the company next to nothing to create, but that's where the CEO gets its big payouts.

                    It's not illegal to pay a CEO more than $1m/year, but the company can only deduct $1m/year of the CEO's salary. Most (all?) major CEO's make more than $1m/year.

                      Yeah, I mistyped at first and forgot to make the change after seeing my mistake.

                              Abortion > everything else. Even if no one is forced to have one.

                                thus abortion, which they don't really give a **** about, is used to convince people to vote against their own interests so the GOP can funnel more money to the wealthy. Does Joe realize he's being used?
