In this specific case, I agree with you and the courts. You shouldn't be able to compel speech (i.e. their writing) and you shouldn't be able to compel custom work. I'm speaking more broadly about regional discrimination. If

As an LGBT, I agree its a difficult situation. On the one hand, as you likely do, I feel strongly about private business owners having the freedom to run their businesses the way they see fit, including being able to choose their customers.

I see what this is trying to do, but I'm not sure what the creators think this is going to achieve. Many if not most police interactions are going to leave someone unhappy; it is the nature of policing. Either an innocent party is con

McMansions are ugly but they're not boring or generic. Unless you're in a housing development, most are fairly unique. Units in housing developments do suffer from the same stigma though, and a lot of people won't buy them fo

There are additional state and local tax programs like workers comp and disability insurance, job training, paid family leave, state income taxes if your entity is registered in that state, local taxes, etc. As you might expect, higher cost

The worldwide disdain arises from what you said, the additional association with communism / cheapness, and the fact that they are mass produced, generic, and boring, and no one wants to spend a lot of money to get generic and boring.

It's bizarre considering that the company benefits as well when you move to low cost of living areas. Those tend to be low tax states so the state tax burden associated with employing you that the company has to pay goes down. Its absu

It is a difficult problem because there is no one price to show. Almost every user might be shown a different price. To my knowledge, at many orgs, insurance is actually funded directly by the employer; they do not contribute to a massive g

You won't even be able to get private insurance if the industry has to insure against complete destruction of a given business. Are you expecting the US gov to backstop every business regardless of size against ransomware? Who is going

I don't think this is going to work. Time is on the side of the attackers. All the attackers have to do is wait and repeatedly restate that they will fully restore operations if the victim pays a small fee and when losses grow large en
