  1. Re:Isn't Flash extinct? on New Default: Mozilla Temporarily Disables Flash In Firefox · · Score: 1

    The one reason that flash does not run on the iPhone

    is because apple doesn't want their users to get mad at their virus-laden phones

    That's not practical for everyone, especially if you happen to live in a place that has only one bank's ATMs.

    My credit union reimburses me when I use another bank's ATM and I get charged.

    My credit union lets me deposit a check by taking a picture of it

    There is no reason for me to use one of their ATMs.

    when government regulation lowers prices

    they only complain when government regulation raises prices

    do you hear people complaining about how they pay too little for milk or wheat or butter or gasoline?

    without government supports they would be paying a lot more

    where are the complaints?

    The only difference between them an an Uber or Lyft driver is that there are more people and local governments sucking on the bottle.

    Regulated monopolies are not good for any economy.

    the us economy flourished in the 1950s with regulated telephones and regulated taxicabs and regulated airfares

  17. Re:Free? Who said anything about free? on Hillary Clinton Takes Aim At 'Gig Economy' · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I want to pay market prices for everything I consume. No one suggested that anything or anyone should be free.

    then why don't you pay double for your gasoline? you are getting a 50% discount thanks to government subsidies

    and you should also be paying more for milk and other dairy products whose prices are artificially lowered by government actions
