It doesn't happen because America is pro-capitalism to the point of absurdities like this. Its a political problem that only gets struck down when people are willing to admit to themselves they are getting screwed.

At which point you are paying a subscription fee to maintain the infrastructure which will quickly eat up much of the value of decentralization. But yeah, they probably will have to move to that model and disconnect generation from delivery

I am sorry but "casual investors" should be doing long term buy and hold because if you can't be bothered to spend 30 minutes on research to compare brokerages, I am genuinely horrified at the idea of you doing anything other

The problem is what you suggest would destroy them as businesses. You have just described them doing "just" the parts of their business where they operate at a loss with massive multi-decade debt loads. Generation is the only part

Every EU and Five Eyes country shares intelligence to a substantial degree. They also have MLA arrangements. None of these countries have strong privacy protections except against corporations.

GCHQ (UK), BND (Germany), BRGE/Directorate for Internal Security/Directorate for External Security (France) have been spying similarly and engaging in information sharing with the US. The UK, France, and several other EU countries

In what sense? The legal overrides that exist in the US for "national security" also largely exist in the EU.

Yup. They all want to make money the same way and as a result Discord will knife it's users in the back sooner or later just like Slack has. Better to stay away and donate time/money to open source competitors even if they lack ne

It does actually. If you waste their time by trolling them and drawing excessive attention, it consumes their resources responding to comments from the media. Instead of y'know, performing their investigatory/judicial functions.

The accusation and court costs (which you would not be refunded for) would likely be career destroying by the time it was resolved.

If there is a limit and the goal is offense, you simply send double it.

by AFNobody 9y ago
And what do you call refusing to run special elections illegally and passing anti-speech laws at the state level exactly? The GOP does that as well and pretending its only one side is absurd on many levels.

So your argument now is Republicans are "Leftists"?

I am aware. I have been buying them ever since I ran out of tax deferred retirement space. It's as much for expanding my effective tax deferred space as it is a secondary cash reserve. Secondary cash reserves all have similar problems.
