@Orestes910 technology is not the same as food. Technology is made by robots and once they moved labor to China for cheaper wages the price of things in technology went down. A 50 inch TV set made in the USA in the 1980s will cost more than one made in China today. Food is grown by farmers on farms and then sold to places like McDonald's it is based on the cost of gas to harvest it and ship it. They add in costs to cover the salaries of the people at McDonald's and the utilities, etc.
A TV set is made in a factory in China and then shipped to the USA, people in China don't earn $15/hr or even $5/hr they earn pennies on the dollar to work in a factory for 18 hours a day 6 days a week. So comparing a TV set to a Big Mac is an apples to oranges comparison. If you paid the Chinese workers $15/hr then the TV set would cost a lot more to sell.

Learn people skills and social skills while going to college. Keeping a good paying job is a matter of people skills and social skills that they don't teach in school.

We learn more about Dwarf Planets by looking at Pluto close up. They even made a map of it. They can sell the maps for people who want to learn about Pluto.

The DailyKOS is a biased source. Christianity does teach no sex out of marriage. In this case a baptist minister went a bit too far on that. Married couples who don't want to have a baby would use contraception as well, which invalidates your argument that it is only for sluts. http://www.womenonwaves.org/en/page/702/how-t...-an-abortion-with-pills--misoprostol--cytotec Yes there are pills that will cause an abortion. These are the ones Hobby Lobby didn't want to pay for.

Please review what the ruling affects and doesn't affect.
It doesn't affect:
• Most birth control pills
• Condoms
• Sponges
• Sterilization
It does affect:
• Plan B "morning-after pill"
• Ella "morning-after pill"
• Hormonal and copper intrauterine devices (IUDs)
The companies in the case and their supporters object to IUDs and morning-after pills, saying they cause abortions by blocking a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus. Groups that lobby for reproductive rights contend the drugs and devices prevent fertilization from occurring, which can lead to unwanted pregnancies and surgical abortions.

Reddit's executives are like Hydra, cut off one head and two more will take its place. It won't be long before they have a secret police style moderators that just go ahead and delete subreddits and shadowban people without giving any reasons. Now the banhammer comes down hard.

Misleading, they accept most forms of contraception except the ones that cause an abortion. Christianity believes the fetus is a human being and having an abortion is murder. Making the insurance pay for the abortion pills will raise the cost of the health insurance for the employer, which means they are forced to pay higher rates to have abortion pills covered.

First I wanted to be a firefighter/magician. Then I learned magic wasn't real and Firefighters get hurt really badly. Then I wanted to be an astronaut but had health problems that prevented me from becoming one. I then wanted to become a computer programmer as the microcomputer revolution was going on. In the 1980s when two space shuttles blew up I wanted to make a multi-billion dollar software company and then use it to make a new company that makes space ships to help NASA out.
I developed a mental illness in 2001 right before 9/11 happened. My career was then over and I ended up on disability.
I'm glad that Elon Musk was able to do what I couldn't with Paypal and then SpaceX.

If you have a Windows 7 Pro DVD you can install it without a serial key and it will be genuine for 30 days. If you do this on July 29th and run all of the updates, it might fool the Windows 10 update program to think you have a genuine copy and upgrade to a genuine Windows 10 copy.

Commodore 1541 drive for my Commodore 64 so I could finally save my BASIC programs and data files. I did a lot of yard work for neighbors to earn the cash to buy it from a toy store.

I lost my father in 2010. Brain tumor, lung cancer and other problems. I'm mentally ill and on disability to make matters worse. I cried at his funeral when they were ready to bury him, I knew I'd never see him again.
I try to remember the good times we had together. He worked for AT&T until they broke it up and forced him on early retirement. I helped him learn Excel so he did the Bingo accounting for his Knights of Columbus branch. When his Windows XP machine had problems, I gave him a Linux boot CD and he liked it because it used Unix commands like he used at AT&T before he lost his job.
