"You've clearly never had the task of being a negotiator."
You need to match negotiating technique to the opponent. If you only use a single technique, intimidation for example, your opponents will adapt. Insult and intimidate seems to be Trump's go to, I hope he has more tricks up his sleeve than this.

In my experience, posturing with Russians only leads to more posturing. There are times when this technique can be useful but not when nuclear weapons are on the table imo. | 0 | not toxic |
If my thoughts and beliefs are not accepted as valid by another reader, it`s their right to say as much isn`t it?..and without them being penalized for having "passion" about a subject, and without their risk of being stifled from speech, or worse being blacklisted. I`m more offended by the lies allowed to be told in the media about a "million barrels a day" if we just fork over a billion in cash to Exxon every year under SB21. THAT "free speech" (some would say propaganda) offended me far more as an Alaskan and American than anything I have ever seen in the previous Dispatch comments system. | 0 | not toxic |

Boozer,
This tax (call it whatever one wants) will become part of the operating costs of each company. (I wonder if a discriminatory tax is even legal?). Anyway, each company the tax is assessed to will make a business decision based on its own interests. Some companies will have the pricing power to pass the whole tax on to the consumer, some will only pass on part of it, and some will not pass any of it on for a while. But it will raise the company's operating costs and therefore at some point, the price for the product will increase unless demand falls or competition causes a price reduction(s) .
At least with a sales tax it is transparent, one knows they are paying it, and can consciously decide if he or she wants to pay it. This new tax will be much like Oregon's share of the gasoline tax paid for each gallon of gas. In 2009 the Oregon legislature raised it from 24 to 30 cents per gallon and it has not been raised since (yet?). It essentially is a stealth sales tax. | 0 | not toxic |
The solemnity of the declaration and the language used by the Pope are enough to convince me of the infallibility of OS. It must be definitive for the future for the Pope explicitly says that the Church has no authority from Christ to ordain women to the priesthood.
If the Church has had no authority up to now to ordain women then it is difficult to see where it is suddenly going to obtain this 'authority' from at any time in the future short of Christ Himself publicly ordering the Church to change its teaching. Any pope who claims to have have had a personal revelation from either Our Lord or the Holy Ghost is going to have an impossible task convincing the rest of the Church.
Leaving all that aside, the experience of the Episcopalians and Anglicans who have ordained women has been catastrophic for those churches. Were the Catholic Church to follow suit it would precipitate the greatest split since the reformation. Look at the strife a mere footnote in Amoris Laetitia is causing. | 0 | not toxic |

Yes US -Russia relations are shot for this presidency. Mr.Trump will not be able to work with Russia because of the hysteria of something that may have never happened in the first place. "At fault is the "democratic impartial media".And this is not good for any country, any administration and any human being on this Planet. The hysteria is clearly MSM media created and propagated.
As for Massa Gessen when was this person persecuted by Mr.Putin? Furthermore when did Mr. Putin not allow people to vote or persecute religious minorities?
Clearly Mr. Trump is the wrong person to be the President of USA. But he was elected by Americans.

The author could have offered some serious insights or thoughts on any number of issues related to the contents of the piece above. Surrogacy is certainly a topic that ought to be discussed seriously. The behavior of the judge who is mentioned in the piece probably ought to be examined (but we can't be sure, because there is no context to the remarks). The many difficulties that poor women suffer is certainly a worthwhile topic to be discussed. The topic of "throwaway children" merits much discussion.
Yet, the author chose to write an article that is high on outrage, but low on facts and information. Perhaps the writing served some sort of cathartic purpose; reading it leaves this reader underwhelmed. | 0 | not toxic |
As I read this "story" I don't see him calling for her to be shot at all.

This is bent coverage. You do not cover any information about the 3rd party in the equation, the one causing product shortages and exacerbating the currency debasement there. You tow the "freedom fighter" vs "dictator" line, leaving the corporations that import most of what they need to completely control what is happening there. Of course their government is corrupt and has been for a very, very long time. Like everywhere, like us, so they are not special in this regard. What is important you recognize is that they have more oil than Saudi Arabia, and if their main export was brussel sprouts this would not be happening to them. | 0 | not toxic |
Trash, including that which can be recycled, presents a social phenomena. First, the generation of waste materials comes at the time of purchase. But we have few fees (like on tires) included in the initial cost directed to recovery. So the incentive is for producers to make products out of the least costly, most effective materials, including packaging, which is also often the hardest to recover. Consumers will pay very little more for a "green" product or package.
Later, the product and package is "thrown away" but it never goes really "away". Low income residents, who probably purchase less "stuff" pay the same rate per pound for disposal as the more well-off (who generate more stuff), so the per-pound cost is regressive.
Recycling is not "free", it is a cost to the County minus the recovery value, which fluctuates.
None of these costs are in the initial purchase price. We pay them later and disconnected from the initial cost. This is an inefficient supply and demand system | 0 | not toxic |

I realize this is a rehash story with details missing that were in previous articles. Instead of making this political as one commenter wants, this has to do with the lengths felons will go to avoid their deserved justice. The fact that Rico was not wearing his bullet proof vest is disturbing to me. That's like sending out a human with no vest or gun against a felon who's armed. Which is another problem. Armed felons aren't supposed to happen. Or so I thought. I believe that Dan Sullivan played the biggest role in our police departments inability to do their jobs to the best of their ability. He shamed them by taking away funding they needed to keep us all safe. Why don't you talk about that? Only those that want to live in a lawless state would chastise the efforts of our police departments. They take an oath of putting THEIR lives on the line for your sorry asses.

The Civil Rights Act is clear about firms who serve the public. No discrimination, especially against a protected class (which the Perry decision makes gays and lesbians). Private bakers can, of course, select their clientele. The only thing objectionable to any baker would be the cake topper with a rainbow flag, two brides and two grooms and if asked to do the rainbow flag in icing, I am sure a sincere baker could ask politely to beg off - but they have no right to show moral scorn to the customer. Ever. The baker can believe what they want but even St. Paul would say that they must be polite (a Jew to Jews, a Gentile to Gentiles). Indeed, it is much more fun to celebrate gay people in love.

For greater clarity. "Clubbing", or other such form of cruelty of recreation as was insuated by one commenter was not part of my argument against cruelty. Yes I have hunted and trapped in the arctic (Baffin island) For some it is a quick death. For 1/2 I saw it was not. As for animal rights, there is plenty of evidence of consciousness beyond even those of some commenters for whom I would still advocate more humane treatment. And yes this extends to mass slaughter of beef and pigs but you cannot reform the rules selectively. Indigineous life when subsistence based had balance. When exploitive was not - as the europeans and later the north americans discovered of the fur trade. The indigenous industry in Canada is $5+B annually. Why add seals? | 0 | not toxic |

I agree and understand you 100% with your statement here.

Also, the majority of the ACLU's money comes from foundations. For example, the Ford Foundation has given them more than $14 million.

You’re correct that the Earnings Reserve is a spending account. The problem is that we’re spending like we’re 30 when we need to spend like we’re retired. The State can spend 50% of the 5-year average of Permanent Fund earnings every year sustainably and still pay the people their 50% of the 5-year average of Permanent Fund earnings. The problem is the State wants to keep spending 800% more than their share, rob the people’s share of the PFD, spend down savings and tax anything that moves to do so. They are still going to come up short, and worse, will be broke in a few years if we continue the status quo. There is only one solution to our crisis, and while it involves responsibly spending from our retirement earnings, it must be predicated on spending only what we can afford. Like a morbidly obese person going on a diet, it’s going to hurt. It’s also the only way to stay alive. | 0 | not toxic |

Providing meaningful and adequate support for the mentally ill is very expensive and, like it or not, often intrusive. Many persons simply won't support the funding of facilities and programs to provide early intervention and support at the community level. Others feel such interventions are inhumane and personally intrusive. As a result we have, across our nation, hundreds of thousands of mentally-ill individuals impoverished and homeless, sleeping in doorways and alleys, and aimlessly wandering the streets during the days.
We don't intervene until the individual "becomes an imminent danger to themselves or others". Frequently, that means until they either commit suicide or commit a serious crime. Our lack of compassonate care for the mentally-ill is a national disgrace. | 0 | not toxic |
