What's the mechanism by which a private company does e.g. income verification to figure out who gets subsidy or not? Or would the idea be to only subsidize students and not poor adults? It would be one thing if we had like a national &

Honestly dunno if anyone does anything similar to the Jones Act. Certainly not in shipping (though a lot of countries require domestic flagging, not built). Outside of shipping idk what the analogous situation would be

That's fair, but it can be done in ways drastically different from the Jones Act. The Jones Act fails in large part because it is so indirect. If you instead e.g. buy surplus production (like say we do for farming today), it tends to

Putting candidate at ease is definitely important. Another reason: If you're only say one of four interviewers, and you're maybe not the last interviewer, you really want the candidate to come out of your interview feeling like th

I mean from an EE perspective it makes some sense, because you save some on circuitry (not like a lot in absolute cost, but your cordless beard trimmer probably doesn't have a lot of margin). So the real reason is probably just to make

There was a (not really propaganda) photo op shot of a US naval captain of a big ass ship shooting a rifle with a backwards scope earlier this year. I think the reason tends to be that the people involved in prop and photo ops actually have
