This must depend on the state. In Illinois, when Amazon ships from the warehouse outside of town, they charge me local tax. When they ship from anywhere else in the state, they only charge me the base state sales tax with no local taxes.
No, an amendment isn't required to make online sales tax happen - that's just what it would take to make it happen under their own authority rather than by federal legislation. I guess I wasn't clear with my wording.
The ratio of intra/inter state commerce for small business is not significant.
That's the whole point. A lot of paperwork for a handful of sales in each state is a huge burden - it doesn't even pay for the effort. The bulk of your online sales in one state? Filing sales taxes is easy. Especially if you only have one warehouse - everyone pays exactly the same sales tax rate.
This wording does not prohibit States from having regulations regarding interstate commerce
While true on a technical level alone, does every state have to create a treaty with every other state in order to start expecting a tax? Otherwise, sellers in other states are outside of their jurisdiction (which this court refused to recognize in order to push an agenda). Are the states going to close their borders to open trade in response?
Sales taxes and use taxes are two sides of the same coin. Use taxes are not collected by the retailer, but sales taxes are. And in this case, South Dakota was suing Wayfair, not the consumers.
States have no right to regulate interstate commerce. As much of a problem as sales tax is online, this isn't the way to solve it. We need a constitutional amendment to even give states these powers. I'm not saying we shouldn't do that either - just that we haven't.
This is not something that the supreme court should even have the power to decide.
But the thing is, in the future everything is electricity
You're not wrong, but I don't know if an efficient way has been found to produce steel without coal. Usually the coal is not only the source of heat, but also the source of carbon.
This is just electricity. Industrialization is still increasing globally and I'm not sure CO2 generation has gone down overall. Coal is burned directly for smelting and there is still a lot of oil and natural gas powering cars and heating homes directly.
Also, if the buyer doesn't see a movie, there's no revenue sharing with the studios. All it takes is a missed movie once in a while to greatly increase their ticket profits with this.
It's about priority. If there's only one intensive task running, the rest could be dormant long enough for the attack to work. The number of processes isn't so important as how many of them are actively working.
On the other hand, all you have to do is try longer. Eventually, you'll get the timing right.
They are already currently separate. You used to be able to opt to get both numbers to go to Hangouts, but only until Messages was launched. Still, the UI of Hangouts and Messages beat carrier app and GV for sure.
Depends. I have only one inexpensive streaming service (Amazon doesn't count because I don't use it at all) and get most of my entertainment from free sources like antenna. Therefore, I don't really consider myself hooked.
But otherwise, I agree with you. Bragging that you're a cord cutter while having subscriptions to 3+ pay TV services is just silly.
I was talking about the original vision when he named it months ago:
Trump in March 2018: "Space is a war-fighting domain, just like the land, air, and sea," Trump told a an audience of service members at the Marine Corps Air Station Miramar. "We may even have a Space Force, develop another one, Space Force. We have the Air Force, we'll have the Space Force."
That's not cord as in the physical cable, it's cord as in umbilical. People are so dependent on pay TV that it seems to some like cutting off a lifeline.
If you have DSL in your home market that isn't AT&T (who also owns pay TV services), that will keep the prices lower than they would be otherwise.
I'm paying far less for Internet only than I would for Internet plus basic pay TV with my cable provider. And I actually live in an AT&T market. You can add in the cost of Netflix, but I would have that even if I still had pay TV. Antennas are cheap and they still work for the big five networks.
I doubt this has anything to do with the (probably violating many treaties) "Space Force" he wanted to create. But in order to get buy in from him, the agencies convinced him that this was all his idea and what he asked for. And it seems to have worked, so I really don't care who is taking credit (we don't want to burst his bubble, do we?).

This is correct. CO maintains the bright red color of the meat.

By that rationale, there's almost no such thing as interstate commerce.
Well...they'd probably get together and write a Constitution....and then realize they got this whole thing backwards.

And if a retailer isn't located in a state, they're not under that state's jurisdiction.

Or at least the commerce clause.

Just de-prioritized.

And most towns and cities take neither.

It's not violating any treaties.

Good job?
Verizon wants to cut out the middle man and sell directly to whomever wants it. More profit for Verizon.
