    Unless they do things way different, wouldn't the fine for defying the German courts go to the German court system, not the Goddamn Evil Motherfuckers Association?

    I dunno, considering GEMA's whining in this case, the German courts will probably sentence YouTube to the gas chamber if they did that...

    But I like your idea +20 points

    You haven't said anything of substance.
    Or are you saying the government should mandate WHERE businesses set up now?

    Crime statistics do not lie.

    If a predominantly black area has a higher crime rate, that doesn't make it racist, just a simple fact for that area. Sorry if the truth hurts sometimes.

    Same for the suburb city where the facility is located.
    And the purpose of a business isn't to prop a city up, it's to make money. And if it's safer, cleaner, and nicer in the burbs, that's where they should set up, especially for knowledge workers where technically many could do their jobs at home while VPNing into the company network.

    Let's see, company wants to set up shop someplace clean, nice, and safe; so that's makes them greedy and evil?

    How about you make your city livable and then you can attract big business.

    I dunno, most of the businesses that set up inside these cities get special tax deals to pay little to no taxes as incentive...

    (from metro Detroit Area personally)

    I want to set up my company in a blighted city with little to no street lights, high crime, under-staffed, and under-funded Police, Fire, and EMS departments and subject my employees to over-priced parking lots and high crime.

    Maybe these cities need to take a closer look at themselves and see why people and companies are fleeing the cities for the suburbs instead? I know I don't want to pay federal, and State, AND city income taxes, especially to a city you couldn't pay me enough to live in.

    "I believe that two of the things that *must* be included in any proposed solution for it to have any credibility whatsoever are term limits for all in Congress to end "career politicians" and strict rules with criminal penalties for going from a government post/office/position into a private sector job/position for any entity over which/whom you had power/influence, in order to stop the revolving-door corruption in D.C."

    Although I'd add in eliminating all political contributions to prevent that kind of bribery, and make ANY attempt to bribe a government official a treason-level offence,
