She walks fine upstairs....there is a picture of her needing assistance after she slipped. This is a non-issue.
Stephen Hawking cannot even get up at all.
What say YOU? Try NOT saying.
Stephen Hawking is in favor of the shared economy.
I'm not sure his is quite the interpretation currently used by companies that toss the word "shared" in to make the word "cheap" sound more palatable.
Instead, the famed physicist is railing against the glories of individuals becoming stinking rich.
In a Guardian opinion piece Friday, Hawking mused on life's true purpose and money's role within it.
"I have come to see money as a facilitator," he said, "as a means to an end -- whether it is for ideas, or health, or security -- but never as an end in itself."
This is a strange concept to many on, say, Wall Street who see the true glory of money only in the amount that one can amass.
Hawking, however, believes the world is swinging toward his perspective.
"People are starting to question the value of pure wealth," he said. "Is knowledge or experience more important than money? Can possessions stand in the way of fulfillment? Can we truly own anything, or are we just transient custodians?"
Oh, but try telling the average money-grabber that you can't take your vast stash with you to heaven (or hell). I'm not sure they'd be convinced.
For his part, Hawking confesses he wouldn't know what -- given his disability -- he would do with a Ferrari, even if he could afford one. He believes, though, that newer generations are redefining what they see as valuable.
He sees the challenges of today as world-threatening. Among them he cites: climate change, food production, overpopulation, the decimation of other species, epidemic disease and the acidification of the oceans.
In confronting these, we will have to change.
"We will need to adapt, rethink, refocus and change some of our fundamental assumptions about what we mean by wealth, by possessions, by mine and yours," he said. "Just like children, we will have to learn to share."
This may not be as simple as it sounds. Several political movements around the world are rather into the idea of splendid isolation rather than altruistic contribution.
This isolationist attitude, Hawking believes, will spell the end of our civilization.
I really don't like Hillary but I saw some articles about health issues she might be having and if that's true then all I can say is I don't wish that on anyone. Blood clots and seizures.
Cola, I agree with Steven's ideology, I don't know how the subject changed, but that's cool. The problem is it's just not that easy and the Governments idea of sharing is big taxes to them and them alone. e.g. I think it's pathetic when hard working lower income people pay taxes to the Feds. but can't afford to send their own kids to college, they get to sit back and watch the Feds. distribute their money in the form of school grants to total strangers.
YOU DON'T GET IT?
You said she cannot walk up the stairs implying she is too infirm to run for office and hold the position as President.
If Stephen Hawking can do what he does and not move, I'm certain a person as brilliant as Hillary can figure out how to ambulate with her two legs and vast intellect and run the country.
How hard was that to put together Bahama? Should I explain why Trump could never make it as President even if he were an Olympic athlete or is that above your head too?
This is called PUTTING 2 and 2 together.
Previous US Presidents have done adequately well despite health problems including depression (Lincoln, possibly others), jaw cancer (Grover Cleveland), Addison's disease (John F. Kennedy), Alzheimer's disease (Reagan), and polio (FDR).
If HRC needs a little help climbing stairs, the republic will find a way to survive.
Yeah
