It would give the federal government inappropriate control of state elections.

Well, at Google people get legal advice from in house lawyers via Gmail. Are they not sharing that with at least some of the Gmail team (who could read the email)?

Price discrimination. They currently divide users into two groups: people not willing to pay anything to remove any ads, and people willing to pay the current price to remove all the ads. As the number of users and the price go up, it may

That looks like just a subscription thing, right? I saw David Byrne last week, during checkout for the ticket I would probably have paid an extra $10 to get access to the recording of that show.

I think (I could be wrong), that relatively few people would value the recordings from every show on a tour. But, many more people would value somewhat exclusive access to the recording for a show they attended in person.

Tangent idea: musicians should record every live show, and then put it on a streaming service, only for people who bought tickets to the show (possibly for an extra small fee on the ticket). Extra revenue for the artist, and a cool benefit

And in some locations, the federal government holds exclusive jurisdiction, so they better enforce these laws :)

This gets at something I think a lot of people don't really understand. They see polls that show strong support for policy X, and then complain that politicians don't enact it. What they fail to consider is that while a strong m

Fall for it? I think it's pretty clear the author is not trying to convince any one of anything. It's mostly a joke.

Set an example. Buy them, fire everyone, shut it down and liquidate the property.

AIUI, there has been excess solar at peak, but batteries have growing very fast. That might have caused a big change even in a year.

And also, the idea that highly progressive taxes (enough to limit inequality) is somehow unfair. The primary role of the state is to protect private property, why not charge by value?

There is no ability to accumulate and hold wealth without a stable society. That means broad rights, democracy and limits to inequality. Stop acting as if taxation if theft, it’s the fee that allows everything else to function.

As weird as it seems (to me anyway) there has always been a group of conservative republicans who maintain that Nixon did nothing wrong and all of the restrictions on the president passed then are inappropriate.

You think the US could destroy the regime, but has not? Can you explain? How would this work?

And in the real world I see, the Iranian regime is able to absorb a tremendous amount of pain and stay in power. During their war with Iraq they cleared mine fields with big groups of teenagers. I think it’s likely they would withstand what

IMO, the right thing to do is grandfather in any existing season ticket holders, if they ask. Have them go to a specific entrance where someone can check an ID and mark them off a list. Simple job for an intern or whatever.

I’m certain that if these clauses were banned, exactly zero contracts that would otherwise have been agreed would be abandoned. They are completely one sided, and superfluous to the goals of the contract.
