There's a "chemtrail" tin foil hat type in my neighborhood; first thing I thought of when I saw this article was how bad would he flip out if there really was a flying thing spraying an unknown chemical.
Tax dodging. Define it as incorporating (directly or indirectly via a parent/holding/etc. corporation) in a nation in which the CxOs, board members, etc. and their immediate families do not physically reside for at least 51% of the year or in which they do not claim citizenship
No matter how smart you are in thinking you can close up the loopholes there are armies of accountants and lawyers who are WAAAY smarter and can figure out a way around it. Meet Joe Islander. He has lived on the island his entire life where he is an aspiring surfer. He is our new CEO and his salary is a company-paid-for beachside house and fishing boat. Please address all high level corporate decision making to our former CEO and new executive ultra president Mr Big back in New York. Etc, etc.
Try a phone designed for a construction contractor. Caterpillar markets a line of them. They are designed to deal with unusual sound requirements, both cranked up volume to being able to distinguish the user talking while next to some loud machine. On the surface it may not sound like your requirement but I suspect it's worth a try.
Be it in LA or Minneapolis, empty trains running means your tax dollars hard at work paying the driver and other operations staff as well as wear and tear maintenance.
In for all the "I have a car so public transportation does nothing for me" comments.
Every time I've visited Los Angeles I've seen the light rail trains going down the tracks in the highway median. Zero passengers. So, yes, probably all the readers in that area are going to say they have a car and don't use public transportation.
If you want to act like a hotel, be prepared for people to treat you like one.
Which hotel allows you to throw parties with hundreds of people?
Call any larger hotel and tell them you want to book a party. Their conference services people will set you up in a room that handles 300 people easily, complete with DJ and bar. The thing is to not book a single king bed room and expect the same.
they got bought out by a Bain Capital style "Vulture" capitalist, Eddie Lampert. He started off his tenure by mismanaging them in a crazy, Ayn Rand themed style where each department was pitted against the other, resulting in massive infighting
Rand's fictional CEOs never do a you describe. It's always the overbearing government beauracracy doing that while the brave CEO tries all by him(her) self to stave the infighting regulatory agencies.
It's truly beautiful how you have the freedom to post on US websites that you think the current US president is a dictator. I hope some day citizens of Russia and China may have the freedom to complain similarly about Xi and Putin but it probably won't happen until well after their lifetime office holding is over.
we get charged like 3-10 dollars (scales-up by payment amount) to make a registration or tax payment online
My state used to do that but came to its senses. Complain (politely) to your state level congresscritter at "town hall" meetings until your state fixes it too.
At least for the bottled water part. Maybe this will push some people to use a filter (where necessary, Flint I'm looking at you) and just begin to reduce the amount of plastic in our toilet...I mean the Pacific ocean.
Not sure how much its improved but Flint was waaay past end-consumer water filters at the worst.

to the private prison slave labor currently making license plates? /s
Yes indeed; the private prison slave labor in China making the electronic plates makes the US state prisons making metal plates seem like a resort.
So all we have to do is get all the kiddie fiddlers to buy $500 plates. Well on second thought, brilliant!
Over half of Amber alerts are not "kiddie fiddlers" but a parent on the wrong side of a custody dispute.
Only a greedy Jew considers money lending to be "philanthropic".
Only religious nut cases willfully refuse to understand such a basic financial principle as the time value of money.
Of course Verizon won't do it like AT&T, they'll wait and do it like T-Mobile.
T-Mo goes to 11

Carry an extension cord. Park longwise behind the pickups blocking them in. Plug in with the extension cord.

Does YouTube not have a way to fine or otherwise punish this twerp for promoting himself like this?

The politicians bullshit about there not being enough taxes or fees, but they (and their media lapdogs) ignore the egregious amount of waste involved.
You seriously didn't already know that New York unions drive the costs of any public works into the stratosphere?

Russian citizens do complain similarly about Putin. Is it also beautiful?
That they get thrown in jail for doing it is not so beautiful but that they're brave enough to do it anyway is.
But with dictator government under TRUMP

Anyone know why they had to, or chose to, use a digital terrain model, rather than just give the complete real pictures?
Because the real picture is from orbit, straight down. Which is rather boring compared to the image produced by the terrain model.
Just change the name to something like Webob . . . . oh wait, that may be worse.
Add a dash: "Web-Oob"
The US could cut its defense budget in half and nothing would change.
Because halving 1/8 of spending is not much savings. Cutting the defense budget to zero would still leave an annual deficit.
