Turnabout is fair play. How can engineers be corrupt? - Quora https://www.quora.com/How-can-engineers-be-corrupt Apr 12, 2016 · Answer Wiki. Engineers can be corrupt like any other officials. An engineer's job is basically to check the quality of the products, raw material and services. Here lies the biggest chance for becoming corrupt as compromises in quality can be done in exchange for money from a vendor, contractor or service provider. Five Long Island companies charged in NYC corruption case ... https://www.newsday.com/long-island/crime/construction-corruption-1.18138494 Five Long Island construction and engineering companies were indicted on corruption charges in separate schemes in New York City involving bribery, business fraud and political campaign contributions.

  6. Well, I keep seeing the bright side in all this corona stuff. The silver lining is there, you betcha. and that is.. if a far, far,far more dangerous virus escapes from somewhere - we will be better trained and equipped to STOP IT. I guess this virus wasn't a development stage engineered biogerm, or we would have known about that already. maybe.............

  9. TDS lowers the immunity from other diseases, like OOCH19, RFIHW1... not good.
  10. just way too ignorant, she is. Just because they are enraged at losing the last pivot point crucial election, they want to hate the electoral college and go with the popular vote. You can bet they hated the popular vote when this president won by popular vote: Who was the last Republican president to win the popular vote? George W. Bush in his 2004 re-election was the last Republican to win the popular vote and the Presidency.
  11. I don't know how any liberal can believe that biden biteme quid pro senile joe should be running for any office.
  12. of course not. It's nonsense to include necessary regulations with unnecessary regulations to make a feeble point. It's much more complicated than that: ************************************************************************* https://www.concordmonitor.com/Federal-regulations-must-be-cut-back-10660889 "Regulations by the federal government have run amok. In President Barack Obama’s final year, the Federal Register, containing public notices of all rules and regulations, hit a whopping 97,110 pages. The annual cost of compliance with regulations amounts to about $2,500 per person. Regulations block innovation, devote resources to compliance instead of growth and suppress employment. They’re a major reason for the nation’s anemic rate of growth. The Obama administration put in place 600 major regulations, each with compliance costs of at least $100 million. (George W. Bush, no regulatory piker, imposed 426 major regulations.) Obama’s 600 major regulations totaled an estimated $743 billion, larger than the economies of Norway and Israel combined." When President Obama took over, the U.S. ranked third in the ease of doing business. It has fallen to eighth place. Eight years ago, 40 days were needed to obtain a construction permit. Now it’s 81 days. In 2008, enforcing a contract in America took 300 days. Today, 420 days. (Enforcing a contract in Greece requires more than four years – one reason for that nation’s travails.) A company that has a contract or subcontract with the government must establish a plan that will enable its workforce to include 7 percent disabled. For people who’ve had accidents, the government bans blanket policies on drug testing. Why? Because blanket drug testing might be discriminatory. Companies are required to adopt the United Nation’s system of labeling chemicals. To comply with the relabeling and reclassification requirements, affected companies must spend an estimated $2.1 billion. The Dodd-Frank Bill was intended to prevent another financial crisis. It would do no such thing, but the bill is loaded with unnecessary regulations harmful to banking and finance. The National Association of Manufacturers estimates that federal regulations have forced manufacturing companies to pay more than $19,500 per employee to remain in compliance with rules and regulations. Who pays the cost? We do. To remain in business, companies must raise the prices of their products. There’s hope: For every dollar of new regulatory costs each agency imposes on the private economy, President Donald Trump has ordered that it must relieve the economy of two dollars of burden. Congress is working on a bill that requires congressional approval before regulations costing $100 million or more would take effect. An Obamacare rule, up for reversal, requires companies with 50 or more employees to provide health care coverage for all of its workers. This has induced companies to limit the number of employees to just 49, even though many firms would have preferred to expand. Another administration target: a rule designed to undermine oil and gas fracking on federal land. Still another: An SEC rule that forces U.S. companies to report payments to foreign governments. The rule would require companies to disclose proprietary information that competitors could use against them. Congress will repeal a regulation that requires companies to disclose the natural resources they’re extracting – a rule that does not apply to foreign companies. The Stream Protection Rule, already revoked, would have destroyed tens of thousands of mining jobs and put almost two-thirds of the nation’s coal reserves off limits. From 1980 to 2012, the economy grew at an annual rate of 2.7 percent. In a careful study, the Mercatus Center found that if federal regulations had been frozen at the 1980 level, the economy would have grown at 3.5 percent per year instead of 2.7 percent. The GDP would have been $19.5 trillion instead of $15.2 trillion – about 25 percent larger. Per capita, Americans would have been $13,000 wealthier. Even in the starting year of the above Mercatus study, 1980, the Federal Register contained 87,012 pages – only 10,000 fewer than the current number. Federal regulations are a huge burden. Reductions have begun. Many more are needed. (Archie M. Richards Jr. of Concord wrote weekly newspaper columns on money matters. Write to him at archier71@gmail.com.)
  13. nope. It's just that when I turned fifty, I started having negative birthdays - and started counting backwards. I figured i'd rather be one and helpless, than 99 someday. That is why I don't look my age at all. And my Wife is 28, I started counting her age backwards too. A lot of my friends do it. It's all the rage. I'm a trendsetter. Just bursting with great ideas and perspectives. Our dentist decided it was a great idea... my knee replacement surgeon really liked the idea... and lol.... The truth is, there is a little bit of genius in everybody. You just have to find it. Liberals are not good at finding it, though..........
  14. er...because you still allow it to go widespread and contaminate everything and everybody faster. I am amazed at how quickly this virus has spread to nearly every state in the U.S.
  15. I don't believe that is true. The benefits of sovereignty are lost with the collective. The EU was even talking about having their own army. The EU was accruing more and more power to act like one country. Meanwhile, back at the ranch... I mean, in England: https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2016/06/brexit-eu/488597/ "The force that turned Britain away from the European Union was the greatest mass migration since perhaps the Anglo-Saxon invasion. 630,000 foreign nationals settled in Britain in the single year 2015. Britain’s population has grown from 57 million in 1990 to 65 million in 2015, despite a native birth rate that’s now below replacement. On Britain’s present course, the population would top 70 million within another decade, half of that growth immigration-driven. British population growth is not generally perceived to benefit British-born people. Migration stresses schools, hospitals, and above all, housing. The median house price in London already amounts to 12 times the median local salary. Rich migrants outbid British buyers for the best properties; poor migrants are willing to crowd more densely into a dwelling than British-born people are accustomed to tolerating." "The June 23 vote represents a huge popular rebellion against a future in which British people feel increasingly crowded within—and even crowded out of—their own country: More than 200,000 British-born people leave the U.K. every year for brighter futures abroad, in Australia above all, the United States in second place." "Now the American question: By uncanny coincidence, EU referendum day in the U.K. coincided with the U.S. Supreme Court decision that halts President Obama’s program of executive amnesty for young illegal immigrants and their parents, an estimated 5 million people. American policymakers—like their U.K. and EU counterparts—have taken for granted that an open global economy implies (and even requires) the mass migration of people. Yet this same mass migration is generating populist, nativist reactions that threaten that same open economy: The anti-EU vote in the U.K., the Donald Trump campaign for president in the United States. If any one person drove the United Kingdom out of the European Union, it was Angela Merkel, and her impulsive solo decision in the summer of 2015 to throw open Germany—and then all Europe—to 1.1 million Middle Eastern and North African migrants, with uncountable millions more to come. Merkel’s catastrophically negative example is one that perhaps should be avoided by U.S. politicians who seek to avert Trump-style populism in the United States. Instead, the politician who most directly opposes Donald Trump—presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton—is doubling down on Merkelism. Hillary Clinton’s first reaction to the Supreme Court decision on executive amnesty looks at the issue exclusively and entirely from the point of view of the migrants themselves: “Today’s heartbreaking #SCOTUS immigration ruling could tear apart 5 million families facing deportation. We must do better.” That U.S. citizens might have different interests—and that it is the interests of citizens that deserve the highest attention of officials elected by those citizens—went unsaid and apparently unconsidered. But somebody is considering it. And those somebodies, in their many millions, are being heard from this year: loud, clear, and angry. We want to hear what you think about this article. Submit a letter to the editor or write to letters@theatlantic.com. David Frum is a staff writer at The Atlantic and the author of Trumpocalypse: Restoring American Democracy (2020). In 2001 and 2002, he was a speechwriter for President George W. Bush."
  16. I didn't say OK, I said it was not as much a threat at all. Except, the virus still got in, and Pres Trump and experts are considering adding Britain to the list after all. Britain is still bickering with the EU, btw, over some issues - no deal yet. The Brits demand their country back. The EU was never supposed to be an all powerful borg, as in "you will be completely assimilated into the collective. We are one"
  17. no other sports? Fishing season real soon, camping season real soon, campfires around the firepit season already... still thinking about a small camper for out west - we love camping in our tent , but not at100 degrees F.... air conditioning would be good in real hot weather.... the other sport is groundhog skeet. That's a team sport.
  18. please learn to do your own research. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/health/medical/coronavirus-in-the-uk-latest-news-on-the-china-virus-outbreak-after-more-than-70-people-tested/ar-BBZi8W3
  19. well, liberal high taxes and unnecessary regulation/fees/more fees/etc etc etc red tape... will do that. Thank GOD for Pres Trump.
  20. that is what I've been saying: https://www.redstate.com/stu-in-sd/2020/03/13/wuhan-virus-what-about-the-sieve-at-the-southern-border/
  21. yep - any lie, false claim - the left will happily use it as a weapon. but they just keep getting caught. https://www.redstate.com/elizabeth-vaughn/2020/03/13/former-ny-times-jim-roberts-tweets-the-dow-has-fallen-300-points-since-trump-started-speaking-deletes-as-roars-back-by-2000/
  22. I get your point - however - read the article - they don't need passports - nothing. they closed the border checkpoints. no control, anything goes. That scared and infuriated Britain - and for other reasons as well, they got the heck OUT. I'm not scapegoating, just trying to understand. What I said was fact. Your own country, Spain is one of the countries where calls have been made by some officials to follow Britain out of the EU. The EU got power hungry, not just economically, but also immigration, as one country - and now has been talking about having an EU army? The Brits NEVER signed up for that. Check THIS out: China welcomes EU's agreement against travel ban | Nation ... https://www.chinadailyhk.com/article/121222 China welcomes EU's agreement against travel ban. By Xinhua.
