Still, 20% of their net income is guaranteed free money. I doubt there are minimal (if any) expenses on Apple's side to maintain the status quo of Google being the default search engine.

National Parks (and the ADA) are some of the few great things that America has going for it and turning Yellowstone National Park into a power plant would not be one of them.

Absolutely nothing you said about her is based on any facts or analysis in that article. Don't fall into incel behavior here with projections and unfounded assumptions spouting them off as fact. Do better.

Homeownership is one of the main ways that Americans transfer wealth, as it's usually the only asset that adults nowadays have that can be transferred outside of whatever's in their bank accounts. When homeownership becomes restri

Yeah let me look that up that lawyer's number on my phone that I have to pay $120 in unpaid device payment fees plus $50 in reactivation fees before t-mobile reactivates my data plan. No worries, let me just use the McDonalds wifi, I&#

Well, citations don't really matter when the topic in question is regarding Florida law and you're citing Colorado law.

Do you believe someone who had been released from prison with no housing, no income, no phone, no computer, and no job, trying to get on their feet, would have the time or money to hire a lawyer and submit a petition within their first two

Who needs those pesky things like free and fair elections when you can just disenfranchise the competition!

It's absolutely grotesque to me. Florida charges their inmates $50/day as a "bed fee" that they must pay when they are released. If you were found guilty and sentenced to 5 years in prison, but were released after 1 mont

Facebook literally was foundational in ethnic cleansing within Myanmar, I'd be careful calling this a "moral panic". Oh, also, there is good evidence for it, including Facebook themselves! https://about.fb.com&#x2F

I worry for having a centralized IT infrastructure as that now puts every single agency at risk from a single attack. No one would call a neighborhood "secure" if every home used the same key.
