Too many people over 50, and too few under 50 to pay their entitlements ...

Never mind that the start date suggests that you're measuring from the time CA gutted the government payrolls to meet the outrageous budget deficit the state faced in 08-11. All the new jobs added just refilled the jobs temporarily lost. CA employment levels are probably the same as they...

Now take out all the unmotivated blobs hired to administer Obamacare, and see where that leaves you...

I remember getting some seriously sound sleep when I took the PAG portion of the PAGG stack mentioned in the 4-Hour Body: PAG - Policosanol, Alpha-Lipoic Acid, and Garlic (actually allicin) PAGG - Policosanol, Alpha-Lipoic Acid, Garlic (actually allicin), and Green Tea Extract Another...

You have to wonder about the lawyer willing to take the case... I haven't met a lawyer yet who'd be willing to take a case like this or was interested in doing the work. Maybe I'm consulting the wrong (perhaps appropriately lazy) lawyers...

If I owned the joint, I would care more about page hits. That's what enable me to keep the doors open while allowing others to ponder the more esoteric. What is truth, anyways? I'm not the first to ask, nor the first to admit not knowing...

The word of the day - attenuation. Though not completely correct, but similar in concept. Repeated exposure to the same stress generates an increasingly smaller response from the body until there is none. The body is then fully adapted to that particular stress. You can't continue with...

The extra $500K is for the lawyer... Or maybe it's for the jury payoff... Or maybe its a kickback to the franchise owner...

If 100-500 people can't exit a plane parked at the gate in less than 15 minutes, what makes you think these same people would be able to jump out before the plane crashes? Another note - in how many plane crashes was the plane stable and flying at a low enough altitude for long enough time to...

That sounds like a little like Tim Ferris' Slo-Carb diet - 6 days of minimal, slow-release carbs likes veggies and beans + protein , then a massive feast day on Saturday (for him). He doesn't include a workout portion like this program. Also sounds like the standard marathoning carbo-load...

And since it's a lifestyle issue, it's a matter of making small changes which become habits. And changing one's perspective - it took years to get in your current shape. It'll take months (not weeks), possibly a year or 2, to undo the damage. Full-scale changes have a high rate of failure...

Or boot the CD and try Repair Mode...

Good job! Have you noticed the bad breath yet? If so, it's not a problem, just the fact that reached ketosis (your body adapting to use fat as its primary fuel source instead of glucose/glycogen) Is your tongue getting pinker/less white? That's a milestone in the lemonade diet fasting...

More info - http://www.debtclear.com/debt-relief/your-rights-under-state-law/statute-of-limitations-on-debt-collection/ Given that most debt is resold over and over, paying $.25 after the SOL has expired is pure lunacy. Start at 1 cent on the dollar and work your way up. Especially if...

Are you posting this because you want the written record to show you're not a cross-dresser??? :D

I forgot to add "politicians" and "lobbyists" to the definition of innovator... Does that change your conclusion? :D

Just read the comparison chart. Not bad except the part for the "we do not tax the poor" part. How is a "poor person" defined. What safeguards will be implemented to prevent the inevitable fraud and scams? Obviously, there will need to be some agency to accept/verify/approve/issue...

Yes. The goal is to implement a system that is simpler and unambiguous. A system that allows for as few exceptions and what-ifs as possible. A consumption tax would be as complex as our economy, with the need to contend with all the gray areas of our financial lives. As well as the...

None of the above. I believe in 1 thing - benevolent dictatorship. And I would be that dictator....

We'll still need an alphabet agency. Someone needs to collect the taxes. And verify the forms. Also, the number of transactions will greatly exceed the number personal/business tax returns. Probably by a factor of 1,000 or more (i.e figure all transactions you do in a year, multiply...
