It seems like this is geared toward an argument that gun laws should be locally based and not federally managed. From that perspective, it does make the point visually. There is a argument to be made that a small county in Nebraska probably

Jeremy, I don't have a question, but just wanted to thank you guys for fastai. It is just the right mix of "throw you in the pool" and "I'm still here, you aren't going to drown"!

Real estate, by multiple measures, is the most profitable industry in the US private sector. It is heavily taxed and regulated because it is a money-printing machine. We are not in danger of there being no landlords. [1] https://

>> cost associated with bringing a new drug to market If you are referring to R&D, that is typically a sunk cost for existing drug companies and is typically not figured into the price.
