My fear is that #Trump will end up getting impeached and then #Pence will take over. Trump has no filter - all of America knows his true thoughts and how unprepared he is to be president. But Pence is very smooth. You'd never know how much more radical than Trump Pence really is. He sounds like the voice of reason, but he's even a greater threat to America than Trump.
I am not nearly as concerned as the two of you. #Trump is a lot of things (many of them bad). But he is a great deal maker - I'd much rather have him on our side of any negotiation. And while we may not be privy to the finder details, when were we ever?
Did #Obama let us know about his deals, such as when he gave hundreds of million (maybe more) in ransom to #Iran to secure the release of American? Or when he reached a nuclear agreement with Iran, which entrusted them to inspect their own facilities?
We've been on the losing side of deals for a long time. Trump will squeeze the best arrangement he can.
My local ShopRite created a similar program not long ago. In theory it was great. Connect to their instore wifi, scan any items you want to buy with your phone, then on the way out, just scan your phone and at a kiosk and pay.
Sounds brilliant but it never worked well. The WiFi would drop out frequently, prices wouldn't always scan properly (same thing at a manned checkout counter, but very easy for them to override), and it was incredibly tedious constantly scanning every single item. Say you wanted 10 of the same item, you couldn't scan once and then do a quantity of 10, you had to scan each one individually.
Not to mention, one time I did a huge shopping order, only to have my phone battery die when I went to pay at the kiosk. The was the last time I even bothered trying and shortly there after, the whole system was pulled.
I agree. #Amazon ($AMZN) is exceptionally innovative. #Walmart ($WMT) is exceptionally behind the times (any one who has ever used instore pickup knows what I mean - waiting an hour for someone to visually check each box for your name since they have no tracking technology). But #Jet is decidedly average. The pairing won't help Walmart much.
They'd both fare better if they were able to keep their racists views to themselves! I fear for this country if #Trump wins since I'm convinced he'll embroil us in unnecessary wars. That being said, $ESLT would likely benefit.
There are some great games out there which really can't be beaten without paying a penny (the original Angry Birds and Plants Vs. Zombies comes to mind), but it's so hard to tell what's really "free" these days. What's worse is that some mobile games which I PAID for still wanted more money for upgrades and such.
Call me old fashioned, but I miss the days when you paid a flat fee for a game and new exactly what you were getting - the entire game. But perhaps the author is right and this is the future of gaming.
