I think all of these privacy problems can be traced back to contract law and contracts of adhesion where consumers are automatically opted into terms consumers would never wittingly opt into voluntarily.

And forced arbitration of class claims has destroyed the private accountability mechanism. Government is literally the only option.

Because that is what the sanctions define.

Diffuse or latent injury is hard to protect against with tort. And afaik a judge can’t declare some chemical illegal. Moreover, forced arbitration has destroyed tort in the US. The only source of broad accountability is government. An i

Compared to what? Extracting fossil fuels requires bringing toxins to surface and combusting them endlessly.

There’s no regulatory body testing most things, especially chemicals. It’s tragic.

Nearly all regulation is to protect the public from something bad that someone did in the past. Why would you be against that?

Why would it cost the government more to do that than Verizon? Half joking: is it because the government gave Verizon billions of dollars?

The colleges should have to carry insurance sufficient to cover the liability of failure.

We literally have full control of land use changes through zoning and city codes.

Batteries. If suddenly you must pay 20c/kWh and previously it was 8c/kWh, new avenues opportunities are created. Maybe then it makes sense to go full rooftop solar and use a big battery.

Yes, you can sue a town or city.

It should cost the customers more thereby allowing market forces to work. That’s how we get better solutions.

No way. You don't miss out on 5G because you couldn't come up with $4B and your smaller competitor could. If it were $40B, sure.

Huh? The federal government has current expenses. It needs sufficient income to cover those expenses. Cutting income without cutting expenses is incompetence. Indeed, it should be illegal. Want to cut taxes? Cut spending at the same time or

Announcing huge layoffs is not a positive market indicator. Similar to inverted yields, massive market drops or VIX growth, it is indicative of a wind shift.

Access to capital is not a current issue. There is a virtually unlimited amount of capital available in the US to anyone offering it a high return. The issue is the lack of opportunities for high returns.

A $350 billion annual increase in debt would result in default.

Not more than pre-tax cut trend. The critique was always that companies aren't hurting for cash so a tax cut is pointless and will only balloon the deficit. That's exactly what has happened. We gained nothing but a shorter debt

No. I know nothing of Uber's capital structure. I helped take a couple of companies public that only offered a minority fraction of their equity to the public markets. They structure as a different class of share.

Wait, Verizon doesn't have access to $4B? Verizon surely has significantly more net income than Tmobile. And therefore also has access to more leverage. $4B would not make that big of a difference.

That's a red herring. We could cut taxes to zero and your investments may go up a little temporarily but it would be catastrophic in medium-to-long term as the dollar collapses and Americans go through a depression and likely a war.

Tax cuts aren't even a year old and were sold on the premise of job growth.

Then they should do better due diligence. Their profits were literally stolen money.
