The Democratic establishment is more pro-corporate than the Republican establishment? In what reality is this. Like I don't get where this idea comes from that you have to be pro-business or anti-business. I can be both pro-worker and

This makes no sense. Bringing a weak case now guarantees that DOJ won't pursue another case in the future after it gets its ass handed to it in court. There is plenty of support for going after big tech on both sides of the aisle --alb

Well they aren't news sites. They are private entities providing general platforms. Speech, per the US legal system, is more than just what one says, but also the actions one takes. These companies have not only a right, but a duty as

Considering that EAS's are handled at a hardware level and a public subscription API sounds ripe for a targeted DDoS attack for a pull model and bound to fail for a push scenario, I think radio, TV (OTA & cable), and Cell/Mobi

Why would there be a public API for the Emergency Alert System?

Yep, the Emergency Alert Systems have existed since at least WWII. From a quick Google search: Canada has a National Public Alerting System (NPAS) which provides emergency management organizations across the country with the capability to r

The US does not print inflationary dollars. It prints borrowed dollars. This is a subtle but important distinction and is why we don't see substantial inflation now, and won't in the future.

Sure, and claiming that NPR is an arm of the state is disingenuous at best.

So you make a good point. Yes, borrowed dollars CAN become inflationary. We will see this when PPP loans become grants. There are however, also deflationary effects happening at the same time due to the current pandemic...so which will domi

The Fed takes collateral, usually treasuries or bonds, and then gives dollars, these are borrowed dollars, backed by an asset. They carry an interest rate and will be paid back to the Fed. Once a dollar is paid back, the borrowed dollar is

Secondary citizenship is not the same thing as denouncing your citizenship and fleeing taxes. US citizens are taxed worldwide, irrespective of location or other citizenship status. Your point is taken, it's just not relevant.

by dlp211 6y ago
Capital can move globally, but if you remain a citizen, you still owe on the wealth tax, because again, no instrument is restricted. If you want to renounce your citizenship to the US and pay the exit tax instead, be my guest, I'm sure
