PG&E is a public utilty under the commonly understood definition. And you can fix a privately owned public utility through regulation in essentially the same way since its heavily regularted by California Public Utilities Commission. B

Sure, but the government would likely allow it to go through chapter 11 restructuring, which could wipe out all equity holders. American Airlines still exists, but all the previous stock was voided during bankruptcy.

You are just defining harm using your preconceived notions about rights. How are you any more harmed by me preventing you from growing crops, than I am harmed by you preventing a sale of copy of my book because you sold it to them first.

All property is a monopoly. Is it slavery that I can't grow some crops on your lawn.

First mover advantage isn't worth much for generic drug manufacturing. The product is a commodity at that point. It wouldn't be worth much in tech either if you were allowed to clone a product 100%. Intellectual property even pr

Due to human error because they are only level 2 or 3 selfing driving, which requires a human driver. Which means they clearly are not safer than human driving. Telsa autopilot isn't even self-driving. It's fancy cruise control.

There is no reason to believe that a shitty driver with good automated accident avoidance would be worse than a self-driving car. Especially since no self-driving car is better than a shitty driver in 2019.

I sort of give a shit. But I'm not ready to agree to a huge drop off in my standard of living, especially when there is no guarantee the developing world won't just accelerate their usage to counterbalance our cuts. And a lot of

They'd also reap the profits from businesses investing in themselves since they own those companies. The only difference would be encouraging conglomerates instead of new companies. Not sure why that benefits anyone.

In a metro area like chicago that has 9.5 million people, the "cool and hip" urban areas fit about 300,000 people. Plus jobs and traffic. If I could live in a middle rung suburb and have a 30 min commute, I'd do it.

I wouldn't go so far as to say never. But that's generally the reason why nobody in building them in the United States. But countries with high nuclear usage, like France, show that doesn't have to be the case. If the US proc

Sure, if suddenly society is disrupted that is a very big issue. But in that sort of sudden collapse, humanity is pretty screwed already. Making the collapse of society a little worse isn't something we should worry about.

I get a slow ship option. Usually thrown in some sort of coupon too. Though I suspect they just wait a while and then ship it fast anyway.

Putting a baby to sleep on their stomach is a SIDS risk factor, but not if they switch on their own. But nobody really tells you that last part. I kept flipping my daughter over until I spent some time googling it.

You could say the same thing about the ACLU since the ACLU doesn't allow warrantless wiretaps and random home searches. Ms. Stefani should be ashamed.

Yes, labeling a group with 5 million members that supports a right expressly protected by our constitution is ridiculous.

>However, it would seem as if we’ve crossed a threshold where the mere existence of guns is seen as a threat, therefore anyone that advocates for gun ownership (or possesses one) is a threat. No offense but this is cowardly, and frankly,

Anti-NRA people would say that they are lobbyists for the gun industry, they are extreme, they don't compromise, etc. But really they just disagree with their viewpoint.

Your understanding is wrong. The NRA has never carried out an attack on anyone.

Labeling political enemies terrorists is actually a lot more ridiculous than this even if you think the second amendment is outdated.

It was never interpreted by the supreme court to only apply to a well-regulated militia. At most, you could say the right was interpreted to only apply to guns used by a well-regulated militia in the 1930s. But before that there were no f
