Far better to have two models of car. Then the drivers don't need to care about their own car, they just have to hate everyone driving the other model.
So 'all the benefits' of Federal assistance include the ability to not even get the power back on a year after a disaster?
I've seen better disaster relief by the Red Cross.
Every (red) state is 'pay for themselves' when it's someone else. Second it's them that's hit by disaster, it instantly shifts to 'we need disaster relief!'
They sell your private data because that is their business model and has been since their breakout in the business world.
"If you're not paying for the product, you are the product!"
You don't get a pass on sexual assault just because of your sexuality. You think it's okay for a man to sexually assault another man if he isn't gay? Can a gay man grab women by the p**** (while not being president) and it be fine because he's "not into chicks"?
...except for in every other metric besides stock prices, you mean. Who'd have though that business leaders would react positively to an administration staffed by their own lobbyists, which views any law which regulates their behavior as "Un-American"
At least some of those were policy/opinion changes she made over the course of several decades. If she held the same views in 2016 as she held in 1986, she'd be an idiot.
Trump's lucky if his policy opinions are the same at the end of a sentence as they were when he started it.
It seems to be a thing that US/.-ers are so used to their politicians being corrupt that they assume that anything a politician or civil servant anywhere in the world says or does must be wrong.
Whereas in the rest of the world, politicians actually have been known to act in the best interests of those whom they represent on occasion.
It's about the same as an IRS agent approaching you and saying "It'd be a real shame if you got audited. I hear some agents are being very, very thorough these days. No stone unturned. Oh! On a completely unrelated note, I need a favor from you..."
But on the plus side, it will provide fly-by-night physicians and clinics the opportunity to peddle false hope and ineffective drugs to desperate patients for profit!
Exactly what could the Russian government do to a private citizen who will likely never step foot on their soil?
Now what could your own government do to you?
Sure, it's paranoid thinking either way, but the latter example certainly has more capacity for causing you damage personally.
You people have to stop getting your news from Fox and Breitbart. The homicide rate in London is not even 1/30th of the US' worst cities, and is nearly half that of New York (all per capita).
There is a middle ground between not pursuing anti-consumer agendas (e.g. removing the 3.5mm jack) and pretending it's 1990 (i.e. what you're suggesting).

As opposed to the completely uncorrupt federal government who spend money wisely and are not a cent in debt?

I can't even work out what you're doing here. You appear to start railing against your own argument half-way through...
When you make fun of others, it generally helps if you don't do so using English worthy of a 5-year-old...
But it's not like the CIA deliberately funnelled crack into the ghettos in the 80's so as to finance the Contras in Nicaragua ...

Won't be long until they start doing this with the regular internet too.
I'm also wondering why they used it in normal parentheses rather than the proper square brackets too.

I've never heard of having a Dead Man's Switch on someone's employment before ... but that is terrifying.
Yawn... someone predicts this every single generation of consoles.
Regular on shitcoins perhaps which only attract the FOMOs and the pump 'n' dumpers.

I mean, Netflix would have failed if none of the studios initially agreed to play ball.

This article contains quite the impressive opening!
There is a middle ground between not pursuing anti-consumer agendas (e.g. removing the 3.5mm jack) and pretending it's 1990 (i.e. what you're suggesting).
Whereas were it done by a US government contractor, it'd be late, not work as intended and be around 4x over budget.
