O77, Shanghai is a mind-altering experience for sure. When I was last there I couldn't see across the street! But what I could see was incredible and amazing. I came away worried for China, though. I think they are going to start losing cheap factories to cheaper countries before they fully develop a middle class, and the population bubble will hit them hard as they have more old people and fewer young. I thought I was being pretty reasonable in my interpretation of ocean water rising, ascribing the abandoned towns to multiple forces. But waiting until the ocean has risen meters seems a bit foolhardy. Most frogs want to know well before the water starts boiling!

No one should promote or profit from the lie that marijuana--or the CBD oil extracted from it--are dangerous, like pharmaceutical drugs. These are among the most benign 'substances' in history. Having said that, we should note that the oil might relax one to the point of feeling drowsy. Therefore, one should consider not taking it, or using a lesser dosage, when driving or operating machinery.

You do know by hammering international trade we'll lose money, right? That China and India market is HUGE. Lots of opportunity for us to sell there. With their markets growing and ours falling behind, we'll lose business opportunities. And, arguably too much isolation (lack of competition) will have our technologies and manufacturing fall behind as well. It's an international world and economy out there.

You are using a very restrictive definition of "conservative" if you think that. That is only a tiny fringe element of what are today's "conservatives". Today's conservatives and liberals have switched sides, it is now conservatives who believe in free speech and liberals who don't, conservatives who fight for liberal values against regressive religious extremists, liberals champion them as long as they aren't Christian, etc. Which is why so many people who previously identified as liberals, like me, no longer identify as such, because so-called "liberals" no longer believe in liberal values. As for you, your defense of "winner-take-all" meritocratic economics, i.e. "anyone who can't compete with highly educated immigrants deserves to be left behind", would have you attacked as right-wing if you were white.

For decades now, I've been hearing conservatives say that we ought to have successful business people running our governments. Now we're seeing the flaw in that proposition. Successful business people have developed too many self-interests to mesh with being servants of the public. In the end, they'd rather spend more time with their money. And then there was always the obvious flaw: if these people had a yen to perform public service, the opportunity was always open to them. But they preferred to go for self-enrichment. After a long career of raising your own boat, why would you be particularly good at raising other peoples'?

NP's are qualified to provide the same care as a physician. That is why they have independent practice authority in 22 states and DC meaning they can practice 100% independently without physician oversight because it is not necessary.

Foreign investment in infrastructure projects is what globalization is all about. Free flowing goods and capital. It is a great idea until someone realizes that national government are being undermined by economic interests outside their enforcement power. It is a great idea until investors go elsewhere because labor is cheaper. People are trapped within their countries because national security and immigration laws prevent people from moving while goods and capital flow freely. There is a great cheap labor pool. This current form of globalization also undermines democracies because governments are beholden to "investors" and not to the voters.

Well let's see shall we? Through critical reading of an obviously biased article I understand that "Russian Government Officials" contacted BOTH campaigns, and clearly someone associated with the Trump Campaign met someone, probably in the Russian Press (otherwise known as the Russian Government, much like how our Press has been lo the last 8 years). Then we deduce that said Trump campaign person, possibly excampaign manager Manafort, concluded that a previous business relationship was not akin to a future political relationship, and they stopped. Having contact. Further we see that while the Trumpster was not fearful of speaking his mind to the press, foreign or domestic, HRC was frightened to death of saying anything that might appear to be an original thought that could get printed. Trump not renouncing Putin puts me in mind of...oh say... Obama? Not renouncing Ahmadinejad? In the last election? Something about leaving the door open...? Can I help you with anything else?

The Conservatives under Harper calculated to kill the long-form census based on dishonest claims that would be hilarious if the end result hadn't been to deprive business and government of vital data. The Conservatives under Harper orchestrated the costly and baseless Mike Duffy trial to try to put out a political fire, and the judge laid the whole affair at the doorstep of the PMO.

The wage (and income) gap exists entirely within households. Young single women currently earn more than young single men. Never married women have always earned as much as never married men. So you're in a marriage and your partner comes home to say "Honey, I just got a big raise!" Do you reply: "Turn that down! It exacerbates our household wage gap!"? Or, do you say "Great! Let's finally buy a new car!" Or, "Great! Maybe I can go down to four days a week and spend more time with the kids!" There are increasing numbers of men staying home with children because their partners can earn more money than them. In these households there is a wage gap the other way. Who cares? It's household income. Everyone in the household contributes in the way that makes the most sense. Infertile couples will make incredible sacrifices to have children. It's not a "burden" to be able to stay home with them. It's an expensive privilege, mostly enjoyed by women.

You are correct. After all, sixty million people voted to have Donald Trump as their president, and ninety percent of them are happy with the job he's doing. That's a pretty big base of potential consumers to draw on. Of course you'd have to deduct the number who haven't ever purchased a book in their adult lives, say - 60%. That's still 24 million people, but the book targets women, so say - 12 million. But only 40% of women voted Trump, so say - 5 million. And there you are, a pool of 5 million women so deficient in critical reasoning that they actually voted Trump might consider handing over $15 to further enrich a family that is milking the U.S. presidency for every possible cent. In return, the purchasers will receive misappropriated quotes and banal "empowerment" from the daughter of a man who won't shut up about how hot she is.
