Well, because there wasn't much call for it back when most employers offered it without reneging at the drop of a hat. But now we should know how capricious and undependable these people are when payments come due. They are only offering what we used to get through active and united collective bargaining on much better terms. We could do the same today, and we would save a lot of arguing in the process.
Of course they know, they just don't want to make them anymore. these are obvious and logical steps toward that goal. It's a bit a boiling frog thing, let everybody down slowly. And then it's all iPortables and AppleTV.
Which law does it obey? What is the most fundamental "law"?
This whole thing is bullshit.
Maybe so, but we can't separate ourselves from nature as much as some people want. In other words, we aren't special. As far as nature is concerned, we are a walking anthill. Our own biomass is at least equaled by the bacteria we carry. We cannot prove our "conscious" is any more willful than a waterfall or a supernova. So far it's still turtles all the way down.
Well, the headline says Amazon,Google, Apple, and Facebook. As long as they can't atop anybody else from coming online, there's nothing to regulate or "break up". Come to think of it, the same would go for the service providers, and that's where the problem is. Government protection enables them to block out competition...
The content providers aren't the problem. All our troubles lie with the service providers. That is the monopoly and collusion we have to break up. We open up that market, provide real P2P service with no single point of failure such as your present day ISP, and everything else will fall into place.
A removable battery is a perfectly valid safety issue warranting legislation when the market is deficient. It's pretty basic, like requiring brake lights on a car.
So it should be up to the customers to decide what a good trade off is.
If individual consumers had that kind of clout, the point would be valid. But, like communism, the market collective determines what consumers can buy and at what price. In this case the people that want easily replaceable batteries are simply left out, with nothing. So, those people can form their own "collective", right? Let's call it "government". You know how the rest works.
Yeah, well, you know, when a country puts itself so high up the *freedom, truth, and justice* pedestal, you might expect them to play the part, but I guess that's asking too much in the game of battling empires.
Sorry? But the musicians are feeding youtube material that makes them money also. This isn't a one way street. Regardless, there is competition available without these conditions. The artists should abandon youtube until they come around. Signing away their rights just makes negotiations more difficult for others.
Animal psychology issues hold back a lot more than that... culture is quite secondary. There is no mystery as to causation. The brain stem is still the master.

Their intentions aren't so honorable. They're just trying to break up the demand for real universal health care.
HOAs can take of themselves. It's the apartment renters that get screwed. They have to use whatever the building owner decides.
House cats generally reach an agreeable size
Ah, that must be it. Mine probably isn't a "house" cat.

That's right, it's a feeding frenzy. Definitely draws a crowd.

Everything, animate or inanimate, will grow as big as it can until it runs out of material or until it explodes. Is gravity the "conscious" force?

Really! 110 billion ain't chump change, is it?. Shit goes way back, man...
Good old featherbedding.. Tell me what else is new.
I'm just afraid the answer is not going to be a good one.
Why? The state can just build and manage their own cabling/wireless using local labor and be the ISP.

I'm sorry, what were you saying?
I didn't know Facebook killed that many people. I blame the kittens.

It's an obviously valid safety issue. This is a necessary correction for deficiencies in the market.
Now, if only we can get real reset buttons on our computers again. And the old disk activity light wouldn't be a bad idea either.

So now it's Highlander. There can be only one
Out of all the people in government, those are the only ones?! Amazing!! How did you find out about it?

This is just part of the plan. Kill the competition.

Yes, the fundamentals are well apparent, but great effort is spent to evade them because then it becomes personal.
The readers.
I think we already know the answer to both. There's little point in even bringing it up since nothing will be done.
