And this is the problem. Google is trying to be an answer engine. No, I do want search! It’s very rare that I just want an answer. If I do I can usually ask the Google assistant. But Google has indeed worked hard to become an answering engi

They’re calling this a business priority for the Republicans when it was a Republican House, Senate and President that passed this measure. That’s a bit too “must make it seem bipartisan” when there is a clear partisan direction. Even when

Your comment is completely backwards. Chevron has nothing to do with this. This was a specific law passed by Congress and the Trump administration to make their massive tax cut for billionaires revenue neutral. The IRS is implementing the l

If the intent of Congress is clear Congress can simply pass a law to clarify that. Congress does exist. If an agency is acting against the will of Congress Congress can immediately stop it. You don’t need courts to come in and tell the agen

This isn’t about Apple vs Epic. This is about potentially illegal behavior by Apple that in this case negatively impacted Epic so they sued them. So basically your stance is that you are ok with, or at the very least indifferent to, illegal

Remote work is great because it reduces carbon emissions/reduces noise pollution/reduces traffic - These are related. There is absolutely no evidence for this. In the U.S. traffic in 2021 was higher than in 2019 despite significan

So 0 people dead and a few minor injuries derails the subway’s comeback, but hundreds of people dying of car crashes and thousands having major sever injuries every year has no impact? Our inability to gauge risk is insane.

This is not an income tax. Employees aren’t getting taxed. This is quite literally a tax on owners, so even by your definition this is the opposite of a regressive tax. What this tax does do is heavily benefits incumbents over new entrants.
