Too bad. the environmentalists know better than you and lettuce is killing the planet.

Sometimes the goal is to slow down work. For example, if your budget is for a year but the project only takes 6 months, sometimes people add extra hurdles that look good to outsiders but slow down work enough so they get paid for the full time.

If a project ends 6 months early it's entirely possible to not get paid as much.

so if I'm an engaged and interested parent, and I want my child to succeed, looks like charter schools are the correct answer about where to send my kids.

> Charter schools have inflated performance metrics. Often charter schools don't serve special needs students. More than that, charter schools bias towards engaged and interested parents. Because of policies like No Child Left Behind, it is really bad for local neighborhood schools to have all of their high performing students leave for charter schools.

Thats an interesting way of saying that charter schools get better results.

there have been about a dozen new hires at my work, each of them getting a new mac book and accessories to develop on.

multiply that by all of the new hires across the country and some of the lowest unemployment numbers in years and you've got a good set up for apple's hardware division to make a ton of sales last quarter.

...

but unfortunately, looking at their data, it looks like I was wrong: unit sales for macs fell by 13% compared to last year, and 9% compared to last quarter.

interesting.

Edit: downvotes because I made a prediction before looking at the reports then acknowledged I was wrong and didn't delete my post. Cool.

From an outsiders perspective, this seems like a false distinction that you are using to rationalize your failure to get government contracts.

I have a standard 9-5. The trick to leaving at 230 is to start at 6.

Funny how literature suddenly needs to be "rigorous, objective, scientific" when it criticizes communism, even though it's a first hand account written by a political prisoner.

Keep believing that propaganda.

Would you rather we have wars were America doesn't have a significant advantage?

Maybe like the civil war, where both sides were equal and 750,000 Americans died?

Or WW2, fighting against an arguably better Nazi and Japanese military killed 400,000 Americans?

Or WW1, where the stalemate between both sides led to 120,000 american deaths?

You must be right because all those american deaths are preferable to only 2,000 americans who died in the wars in Afghanistan.
