Politics Kushner loses access to top-secret intelligence

[Denny Crane]

Yes, exactly my point.

Yet large organizations exist. Why? Because there are tradeoffs. Large organizations are better at some things than small organizations, despite being worse at other things.



Not sure why you are comparing stock price to spending - it would make more sense to compare Apples spending to the US spending. Still, yes. The federal government is a very large organization by any standard.

We didn't have such large organizations, except government, before the 1980s. You're not making a case for big government.

Stock price is an indication of what Apple is worth, what it would cost to buy it lock/stock/barrel. For all Apple's 30 years of spending.

So yeah, comparing what the government spends in a year to our largest corporation sure makes sense. Government dwarfs them all with one year's budget. How does it compare with 30 years of government spending, the time it took Apple to build itself from scratch? Government DWARFS them all, by a massive amount.

The only people who like big government are those who want to serve it or work in it.

I take it you're the former.

Are you sure you've been to the DMV lately?

LOL

I went to the DMV on a Tuesday at 10AM. There was one person working where the main line is. I waited in that line for about an hour and a half before getting to the front. She gave me a form to fill out and told me to get back in line.

Meanwhile, there were about 300 chairs in the middle of the room, just past this bottleneck. People sitting in most of them. There were windows where you get called to go up and get your license or registration or whatever. There were 14 of those windows, one person working.

Yeah, DMV rocks.

I ended up walking out.

If I had gotten an appointment, I'd have stood in a 2nd line next to the first and would have saved maybe 15 minutes of waiting in the first line. W00T!

 

[CupWizier]

Mine involved a face to face interview. WTF, I passed and Kushner failed? I doubt if anyone involved as part of a Trump clan could pass. Clowns have taken over the White House.

DMV here has an information booth upon entry...all the forms are on the wall..they tell you which you need without waiting...you take a number...they call your name...sounds like your branch was on a skeleton crew....never been in a DMV with only one window open...bank ...yes..not DMV...I just went recently and it was no big deal....I always get there earlier than 10 am though..I try to get there as soon as they open....I was renewing my license and you can't do that online....photo..eye test..

That sir is quite a ramble! But honest, I think you see yourself dressed in virtue.
But I fear it's just an old fashion Tutu, flowing a bit as you parade about.

I call BS on the drivers license renewal.
Last time I did it. I had to go home and get my birth certificate, and DD214
Then take a vision test.

It took a good chunk of two days.

Always tip if you want good service.

I once got a cadillac I owned through DEQ with a box of Popeyes chicken.

honest question....why do you make everything about me?....can you talk about the subject at hand and not make everything personal? Fuck dressing in virtue whatever that means....a simple post about a trip to the DMV and you make it a character flaw....whew......you imagining me in a flowing Tutu parading about is actually creepy in a stalker kind of way.....check your lane...

why do you make everything about me?

Well, the ramble left little room for anything else. Perhaps you could paint with some calm and clarity.

I wanted to have the address on my license changed. I had to go in to get a photo taken.

I was able to pay my $500 vehicle registration online, though. Of course they make it easy as they can to collect money.

The assholes are now taxing an additional $100 for our electric car.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Just saying, the "Make Trump Kittens Again" Chrome browser extension is the best thing ever. Makes this entire OT section so much more pleasant to visit. When @CupWizier posts whatever picture he posted about Trump and Kushner, this is what I see:



I have to wonder though--if this is Trump and Kushner, which one is black?

Don't you know why they tax electric cars? Geez, I thought it was particularly obvious. Electric vehicles add wear and tear to the roads but pay no gas tax. Hence the rather obvious electric vehicle tax. I would guess this accounts for the $600 in fees and taxes. I'll bet we pay more than that even driving our fairly small Toyota.

Did you want the rest of us to pay for your wear and tear on the roads?

It took me two hours and all I brought was my old driver's license. Of course, the first renewal after the new law I did need to provide a copy of my birth certificate (passport works too). After that, all I needed was my previous license.

I see the reasoning, but why should someone who drives 500 miles a year with an electric car be taxed the same amount as someone who drives 30000 miles a year with an electric car?

Spot on! I wanted to get a golf cart street legal to drive from home to the boat harbor. Costs way too much.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

It’s pretty simple I guess, just tax for it depending on miles travelled at the end of the year. Tie it directly to the gas tax factoring in average gas vehicle mpg by weight class or something.

But Freedom... if they know how much you drive, they'll be able to come take your guns. It's a slippery slope, you see.

Way to encourage people to use environment friendly vehicles!

The assholes already charge 41.7 cents per gallon tax, at the pump. To pay for the wear and tear on the roads.
