"The retailer can still compete by lowering his profit percentage" No, the agency model implicitly fixed the *retail* price, because the publisher decided both the wholesale price and the retail markup.
Regardless of how correct it is for cops not to alienate the people, the benefits atthe moment would mainly accrue to someone else so there is not much motivation to get it right.
On the other hand, knowing how to defend your rights without providing something that looks like probable cause to the cop reaps rewards immediately, and in the long term will provide incentives to the cop (in avoiding the wrath of the DA for cases through out for technicalities).
Obviousness is not a substitute for correctness, as can be shown by the cases where the busiest travel day was NOT the day immediately before and the day immediately after.
If the amount of money that Netflix pays you depends on these numbers, how far would you trust Netflix's version of those numbers if you didn't have to?
What every article seems to bury if not outright ignore is that this was the vote for cloture, not the bill itself.
Cloture is a vote to end debate and call the question. Under current US Senate rules it takes 60 votes for cloture where it applies. A bill take 51 votes to pass.
Of the 42 votes against cloture, 1 was a Democrat. Of the 58 votes for cloture, 4 were Republicans.
Since the Republicans had enough votes to block cloture, the question could not be called. This means that either debate must continue until quorum fails (fillibuster) or debate is tabled with no vote and the agenda proceeds to the next item.
However, whether the votes against cloture were because the individual senator felt work on the bill is not complete and it would be worse than the status quo or that the individual senator desired to just stall the vote cannot be determined only from the vote results.

" Old school high speed trains can run so many more routes being compatible with plain old rail lines. "
a) A high-speed railset on a low-seed line runs at low speed b) Low-speed lines in Japan are mostly meter gauge, so the high-speed railsets can't run on them at any speed
"If one of these things crashes at full speed, it is unlikely that anyone survives"
Why do you think this?
Crashes at up to 300kph in Japan and France have resulted in 0 fatalities. The worst "high-speed" crash was Eschede with a 50% fatality rate at "only" 200 kph because it went sideways into a bridge piling after derailing onto both sides of the switch and the bridge collapsed on top of it. As sxpert notes, for that to happen with this track design would require also lifting the train several feet to get it out of its trench before you could get it turned far enough to take out a bridge. The proximate failure at Eschede, where snagging the points resulted in the leading and trailing trucks of a car to leave a switch on separate tracks, is physically impossible with this maglev's track design..
