Right-wing Israeli parliament passes solidarity bill. Mr. Perfect faints on his porch.Israel passes law to cap bankers' salaries

No. The reason no one practices it is because they were suckered by the promise of free stuff so they don't have to work anymore. Which of course has never shown up.Zack Morris wrote: Is that why no nation in the world practices the capitalism you advocate?

Ideology is the child of 18C rationalism and has no place in the post-modern world.
For someone in denial about ideology you seem to have a firm grasp on the language and how to use it as a weapon.Walmart's VP of Emerging Sciences Shekar Natarajan demoed the retailer's new technology to reporters from a Bentonville, Arkansas distribution center on Thursday, on the eve of its annual shareholders meeting.
The drone technology will be replacing the jobs of inventory quality assurance employees, cutting inventory checks across massive distribution centers — the one in Bentonville is 1.2 million square feet — from one month down to a single day.
