Not to mention banks making buttloads of money financing floor-plans and parts inventories; not as much today as in the past with manufacturer's having financial divisions making more money than the manufacturing does.
These laws are silly. Just like how it would be silly to make laws to stop Apple from selling products directly to customers and only go through stores like Best Buy.
Most likely it depends on how you define Apple, My suspicion is the store are a wholly owned subsidiary corporation, and manufacturing is a owned subsidiary corporation as well, so legally they are two separate entities, what would stop Apple Stores, would stop Best Buy as well. It would be like telling Ford they can't sell cars in Michigan because I own stock in both Ford and GM!
Additionally it would be stupid for Tesla not to incorporate any stores in the states they are in because foreign corporations are at an disadvantage legally, it would be trivial for Tesla to draw up the legal agreements Michigan requires for franchised dealer, but Tesla doesn't want to be a franchised dealer, they only want to sell cars and the two aren't the same thing.
We have that in the US now, insurance companies dictate what we can charge, and who can pay. We have many instances of insurance dictate a procedure isn't a covered benefit, but we are not allowed to bill the patient. They frequently down-code procedures, and it's taking a couple months to get predeterminations back, so nobody really knows what anything will cost.
That would never work because then the Congress couldn't borrow against the Trust-fund; could you imagine the USG trying to pay back what they've borrowed already?
First of all stupidity is not a defense in a negligence offense, She signed an agreement to protect classified information in her possession from unauthorized dissemination and she failed. She was required to attend annual briefings on how to protect classified information that taught her what the (t), (s) and (c) meant so neither "I hit my head and don't remember" or "I'm stupid" or "I don't recall" doesn't apply. Comey being too corrupt or derelict or incompetent to properly and evenly enforce the law is a separate issue.
Your right, I brain cramped on the current requirement, a 4CX1000A pulls an amp so it would only put out 8 Watts at the cathode, but running through a transformer on the anode, it pumps out 1.6KW
A lot of valves require thorium enriched cathodes to assist in thermonic emmisions, and the 5727/2D21W thyratrons have cobalt60 in them; both with EPA/NRC regulations to consider.
Yeah right, maybe ZZ Top could could like sound ZZ Top playing through an emulator to us, less likely to ZZ Top and You definitely wouldn't sound like ZZ Top, even playing on ZZ Top's rig. 80% of the magic is in the guitarists fingers, not the rig and not the guitar.
Who really cares anyway, the kids today take a CD of some pop-star, with mediocre quality at best, rip it to a lossey MP3, load it on a smartphone and listen through overpriced headphone and think they are hearing music.
I didn't get that at all, Rand was firmly anti-communist in my view, but I couldn't see her exchanging a communist dictator for a tsarist dictator, central control is central control.
Even Regan didn't attack Libya, and that was when Libya was still sponsoring terrorism.. That should tell you everything you need to know about war and Hillary's relation to it, right there.
The fuck he didn't, Reagan blew up Gaddafi's freaking house, Gaddafi got out by the skin of his teeth because of a telephone warning and claimed he lost a daughter in the attack. Gaddafi said "Was Reagan trying to kill me? Of course. The attack was concentrated on my house and I was in my house"; and there wasn't much trouble from Lybia until Obama apologised, then interfered.
I don't think it's so much Trump working with Russia as much as it's Clinton/Obama working with Soros, and Putin sees Soros as the main obstacle to his ambitions; Putin can't be the Alpha Dog on the World stage as long as Soros is. Trump's dynasty is a done deal, Soros is insatiable ego-maniac and will never be done.
Hilliary did not follow the rules that applied to her because she was too stupid and incompetent to understand them.
Oh I have a hard time with that, she may have been too fixated on avoiding FOIA laws to have properly considered all of the implications of using a private server, she may have been too arrogant and narcissistic to realize she would evetually get caught and the rules apply even to a Clinton, but she was never stupid or incompetent; at least not pre-concussion Hillary.
If Agent orange had been produced by someone competent instead of Monsanto, it probably would have been relatively safe.
Hey what's a little chloracne amongst friends? Now the point is moot, just use Roundup(tm) much safer. Of course that begs the question, did Monsanto know and figure that using an obsolete chemical contaminated with 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin would make it easier to introduce the safer, more effective and patented Roundup?

epipen is only a monopoly because of Government regulations and requirements.

Tesla isn't being stopped from interstate commerce, they, a foreign corporation, are being stopped from engaging in commerce in the state of Michigan.

That leaves 2/3 of the budget for entitlements. Grandma doesn't really need her SS, she can come and live with you.
SS is an earned entitlement, if you don't want to pay out the agreed on benefits then reimburse Granny for what she paid in.
That's why you can't find toilet paper in Venezuela. Is that what you want, no toilet paper.
They don't need toilet paper, people don't shit without food to eat.

If you remember how to make an F1 engine for the Saturn5, NASA would like to talk to you.
If you can't exceed the quality of a Fender PUP, you suck; keep at it, blind chimps can make better, so can you.

Tube amps require an output transformer. Tubes use much higher voltages, increasing the risk of painful or deadly shocks.
Why? What goes through the anode, goes through the cathode! The cathode is probably a much closer impedance match to the speaker anyway!
I've got 3 phase 408VA running into my power supply and my audio output channels are 4CX1000A's, you insensitive clod

So your saying that I can get a visa to India, and get a PhD in IT for about U$25K and probably live like a King while I'm doing it?
Perhaps your confusing what people who were antagonistic to Rand wrote about Rand, with what Rand actually wrote.
I didn't get that at all, Rand was firmly anti-communist in my view, but I couldn't see her exchanging a communist dictator for a tsarist dictator, central control is central control.

He may regard Trump as being less erratic and therefor easier to account for in his plans.
Not being George Soros's bacha bazi doesn't hurt either.
I don't think it's so much Trump working with Russia as much as it's Clinton/Obama working with Soros, and Putin sees Soros as the main obstacle to his ambitions; Putin can't be the Alpha Dog on the World stage as long as Soros is.

We used to quarantine people with certain diseases, seems a better option than NUCing every insect from orbit. A little DEET goes a long way too.
