If this is the worst case of company abuse you can think of, think of the 6 million people the USSR intentionally starved to death in Afghanistan over 2 years because of political crimes (i.e. the poor fools just couldn't grasp how wonderful the cradle to grave welfare state is).
I think it's funny you think consumer protection laws are raising the standards at all.
Companies sell quality products because they want to make money.
Reminds me of the DisneyLand rides in the People's Republic of California. They have these big signs at the beginning of the rides showing how this and that state organization confirmed the ride is safe. Imagine how that went before the State started inspecting the rides! Probably crashes and deaths all the time, right?
Also a basic services is asking electors to vote against the voters in their district because someone on our team clicked on an email from Russia (that was also sent to the other side, which knew enough not to click on it)
Ah, I see. The Republicans are committing a holocaust of carbon dioxide and allowing businesses to make profits, so it's time for the government workers to disobey.
Due Process? Is that like not enforcing immigration policy because you don't agree with the laws and then filing suit against the states that are doing the administrations job? Is that like when the Supreme Court UNANIMOUSLY rules against you more than any other US president in history? When ALL the liberal, moderate, and conservative judges UNITE against you?
Different bones, different skeletons. Humans and primates are completely different.
Just like Darwin couldn't accept genetics because it was proposed by a guy who was a deeply committed Christian, modern biologists cling to evolution more for their own religious aversion than anything else.
Evolution is a theory in crisis. How many neanderthal bones do we have that are not completely contested even by the neo-darwinists themselves? None. How many fake/hoax intermediate species have we hard about? Many (Piltdown man, Java man, etc)! What percentage of Americans believe we evolved from primates? Not much more than 40-42%.
Evolution is a story told by scientists to let other scientists know how professional they are. Just like the grown ups in The Emporer's New Clothes who say, "Oh, those robes! How exquisite!" When there was nothing there.
You should see some of the recent interviews Ben Stein has done with evolutionary biologists. They account for the HUGE improbability of their theory by positing special rays from aliens or fantasy (i.e. not science) like that.
I feel sorry for people who think we evolved from primates. They are completely out of touch with the question of whether or not they believe what they say and are a moral hazard to themselves and others.
A couple scary things to note: 6 - 12 months before civil war broke out, Jefferson Davis's big agenda had to do with renovations on the capital. A lot of other politicians were moving in completely other directions as well. In other words, it all came to a head pretty quick around the election of a Republican. Here too a Republican just got elected, and the outgoing president is signalling the election was tainted by foreign interests (when the DNC strategist clicked on a phishing email).
What I would like is for Obama and Hillary to point to their challenges (even the ones I don't really think were against them) to save face and then allow the peaceful transition for the new administration. Like Romney with the 'If only we hadn't had that one hurricane...'. If all Obama/Hillary are concerned about is firing up their base, this might not seem so desirable.
Politically speaking, there has to be some brinkmanship (i.e. "chicken") going on... unless you decide to fold on every issue that happens. What if one party decides to let the other party do whatever they want (suspend elections, not enforce the laws, etc)? That party quickly becomes an ex-party.
The first thing that came to mind when I read about the Russian hacking review ordered by Obama before the inauguration, I told my wife, 'No one is saying it, but this kinda sort looks like it's heading toward civil war.'

Mr. Karl M. from Russia asks if this property is owned by the government?
And if not is it legitimate?
OK, Wall-e, just pass by the county office for a quick Turing Test. You'll be in and out of there in 5 minutes ...
People don't have to value marriage.
But please don't tell me your doodles on the chalkboard is a marriage.
A lot of this plastic hollywood morality tries to hide that Constitution offers no special protections for invertabrates.
Yet people want to be recognized and congratulated for being invertabrates.
Who saves the money?
The consumer.
I seriously doubt they went into "saving the customer" mode knowing a lot of people were going to die from faulty ignitions.
I think it's funny you think consumer protection laws are raising the standards at all.

The fine goes to the government, right?
So when businesses do something bad to me the government gets the money?
In other words, government is more important than people.

Microsoft already did this.
Do we the tax payers have to pay the government to make free (and probably bloated, not working) versions of everything?
I don't see why anyone uses NIST outside the government. Almost no one does unless they have huge budgets not requiring profit.
Breaking the law was something serious in the past.
Now it means drinking too much soda in NY.
Ah, I see. The Republicans are committing a holocaust of carbon dioxide and allowing businesses to make profits, so it's time for the government workers to disobey.
Ah, touche ...

TNT just canceled their Civil War drama due to the contentious nature of this last election.
There's a lot of truth in what you said.

In that case, may all the DNC candidates have the same nothing issues as Mrs. Clinton!
There are studies showing people who smoke marijuana or look at porn have smaller brains.
You're just not following this.
Was revealed in the emails 2 people on Clinton's staff believe she hates ordinary people and that is one of their biggest obstacles.
Was also revealed that Clinton staff believed the emails were a burning major issue.
Was also revealed Hillary was pushing for removing the borders (she got grilled for this in the 2nd or 3rd debate).
There was a ton of other stuff. That's just what comes to mind.
Apologies if there was a *woosh* there.
I don't see how the election is tainted because the losing side did a loser thing with their own email account.
Scratching an itch is not what the EC is there for.
The first thing that came to mind when I read about the Russian hacking review ordered by Obama before the inauguration, I told my wife, 'No one is saying it, but this kinda sort looks like it's heading toward civil war.'
Now it's been said.
... so take that, democracy !!
Also it's only a bad rule until it causes your team to lose.
Before then it's good and you don't need to speak up against it.
What's the difference between government workers who defy elected officials and tyranny?
