I'm fairly pro-market, but I agree with this. I think people should do what they want if they don't harm themselves or others. Advertising these things are different... I don't have a problem with people smoking or drinking,

Do you have proof to back up this claim? I know there are professional people and organizations (companies) that are heavy into prediction and sports betting, they are not getting throttled.

Not paying is just 1 of the reasons. There are many stressful important jobs in America. ATC is in a unique position of getting squeezed at all ends. There are 1000's of qualified people wanting to apply but the government bureaucracy

No replies but you're right. All top comments are blaming Republicans, but the the Republican part has passed. If the Democrats sign the budget it passes. Depending on which "side" (I hate that term) you view this from, the o

I never thought about this.. I've had the following problem in the past. Host A, cannot reach official github.com. But Host B can and has a local copy of a repo cloned. So Host B can 'git clone ssh://' from Host A

Once you know this, you can never stop seeing it. I learned about it years ago and every time I see a watch ad, I notice the same hand position.

One way 100% to get people to see your viewpoint is to insult them. Which side are you talking about?

It's not a person, it's a company. The company pays 100% of the tariffs, they are passing it to the consumer who is a person.

That is way to general of a question, I'm speaking of the system of government in America, a republic democracy, United States. If whatever city/state you live in wants to have majority-vote for all issues, please go do it.

You are taking a very narrow one sided view. We live in a Republic of states, not a Federal Democracy. I know you would like this to happen, but it won't here for good reasons.

That is the point of the Senate! These are united STATES, and always have been. There is no way to prove this but who is your Representative without googling the naming, do you know them? Ever talked to them before?

This is all regurgitated speech from a voter in a urban area. 99% chance you live in one of the major metro regions and vote mostly like your neighbors. For the other half the country, we really don't want to Federal laws to be decide
