I simply responded to what you wrote, without assumption or prejudice. This is a far more interesting statement: “The restaurant industry is brittle and consolidating, and the the American middle class might not be strong enough to support

Funny, because i see the current US corporate+political sphere as being a far better repesentation of her anti-heroes. There are far more Tooheys in the upper echelon of American society than there are Galts. Venezula looks a lot more like

Ah, yes.. profit incentive as the silver bullet for all that ails. This myopic view is foolish and needs to die.

This is a BS example. I am going to assume that you don't realize this because I otherwise have to assume you are being crass and disingenuous. People are not fictional entities that can be created and destroyed at will; corporations a

I wouldn't exactly call Apple's cash war chest "money circulating within the US economy" but I will take your point as given.. by definition money that returns to the US will technically be (once again) "in the US e

How can you assume that this money would circulate back into the US economy? You imply that it will be used to buy goods and services within the US and thereby serve the "greater good" of increased economic activity of the sort th

And there are limits to the assistance the court may request. Creation of new works is just such a limit. If there is not a limit, then what the courts may compel as "assistance" becomes absurd. This is the argument Apple is makin

Application of the All Writs Act in this manner is unprecedented. The conditions under which it may be applied are well defined and are not met for this application. The Supreme Court isn't a factor at this stage. "Typically"

And Apple is arguing that the "All Writs Act" to which you refer is not authority to demand whatever you damn well please, from anyone, at any time. They are arguing that there are well established limits to that authority and tha
