Felony + Someone dies is enough to trigger a capital murder case in some states.
Two people perform the exact same set of actions verbatim. Both are caught. One gets life and the other gets out in a year or two. Is that really how justice should work,
or is it the result of using justice as a form of revenge?
Meanwhile, the city continues to force the hotels to build massive parking garages so nobody has trouble finding free parking, and then they wonder why nobody takes mass transit. It's nuts!
...then you aren't really demanding anything. This is Econ 101.
If demand isn't being met, it's not because you aren't willing to pay exorbitant rates, it's because you are legally prohibited from paying those rates to get what you want.
What is legally preventing companies from hiring security professionals? The article doesn't say.
Move on, folks. This is just propaganda to try to get the government to solve the private sector's problems at taxpayer expense!
If your phone keeps rebooting then it needs to be repaired, not gimped.
So instead of automatically adjusting current draw of the CPU as the battery ages, they should set a fixed CPU speed according to the current draw of a battery at the end of its useful life?
In other words, you want to pre-gimp the phone instead of gimp-as-you-go. I suppose there's some merit in that.
The incentive to adopt renewable technologies should come from them naturally being better from an economic standpoint (which they obviously aren't, in reality, thus the need for subsidies).
Elon Musk is a smart guy, but he's pricing charging-equipped parking spaces below market equilibrium and then wonders why people sit in them all day.
All he has to do is install sensors and price each charging-equipped parking space a variable rate that maintains a roughly 15% vacancy at all times, like what San Francisco does. This encourages turnover and serves the maximum possible number of people.
It's like the tunnel he wants to build to bypass Los Angeles traffic. What will he do when that new tunnel gets congested? Is he going to block commercial drivers from using it as well, or is he going to build another tunnel below that one?
Puerto Rico gives exactly 0 in federal taxes. Should we not send federal aid to them when a hurricane hits?
We absolutely should send them federal aid, and then we should bill their insurance just like the paramedics do and the way firefighters ought to. Having such insurance should be a prerequisite to joining the union, except we have no formal way to kick out a state if they don't follow the rules. In that way, the USA is kind of like a roach motel--you can check in but you can't check out!
Do you think down-stream states (like California) do not benefit from the Bureau of Reclamation helping to manage water in upstream states?
Managing inter-state resources is the proper role of a federal government. Paying to build inter-state infrastructure projects is not.
Are you going to limit the federal unemployment of someone that has paid taxes their whole working life because they live in a red state?
That's kind of what you deserve for paying into a Ponzi scheme. But I see your point, and that is one reason to support a Basic Income.
If you don't like the spending of the federal government then you should be arguing to lower that spending not be vindictive to the individual based on where they live.
Please see my other comment about how governments rob from the inner-city poor and give to the suburban rich (if that isn't a good reason for vindictiveness, than what is?), and how subsidizing the suburban lifestyle is unsustainable and creates an economic mess. "The trouble with Socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money." --Margaret Thatcher
It's unfortunate the way poor inner-city residents subsidize their wealthier suburban neighbors. Not only does it create a "reverse Robin Hood" situation where cities rob from the poor and give to the rich, it also gives people the false impression that the suburban lifestyles idolized by Republicans are sustainable which cannot be further from the truth. It keeps people trapped in the cycle of poverty, raising crime rates, and makes infrastructure-intensive, tax-inefficient suburban living all the more attractive when it should be doing the opposite!
Then suburbanites pat themselves on the back for their good fortune, and they vote for whomever promises to perpetuate the vicious cycle (usually Republicans again), when all they are really doing is creating an economic mess for future generations to clean up.
Someone once said, "A democracy...can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury. After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits with the result the democracy collapses because of the loose fiscal policy ensuing, always to be followed by a dictatorship, then a monarchy."
It seems we're following in Venezuela's footsteps.
Disseminating information without authorization (violating a license agreement) is not the same as accessing information without authorization (hacking).
There is nothing wrong with building a house in the middle of fire zones. But make it a bunker out of concrete.
It doesn't need to be concrete to be fire resistant. I lived in a new subdivision of wood-framed homes with clay tile roofs and ember-resistant vents and fire sprinklers and so on when a wildfire burned its way through in 2007. Not a single structure in my neighborhood burned down, but dozens in older neighborhoods down the road did.
Sometimes the DVD has special features that aren't on the Blu Ray, so the information on the Blu Ray is is not necessarily a strict superset of that on the DVD. The only way to be sure that your copy is an exact copy or strict subset of the original is to make the copy yourself.

Long lines at polling places are a sign that more polling booths are needed. Let's not try to rush people through them like sheep.
Also remove every "(R)" and "(D)" from the ballot. Let's not make it quite so easy for people to vote along party lines.
About the employee or the employer?
I see, risk a murder charge in order to avoid a reckless driving charge.

All roads including railroads, or just whatever benefits Big Oil the most? Because "today's trains are an average of four times more fuel efficient than a typical truck."
Now only if we had dependable, constant power demand, not erratic demand!
...then you aren't really demanding anything. This is Econ 101.

Good idea. But how do you access that setting when your phone keeps rebooting due to the degraded battery and you don't have your charger with you?
Did you know that air pollution costs us up to $1,000 per person per year? Are you factoring that into the economics of renewables versus fossil fuels? (Probably not.)

Yes, Texas is a notable exception. Are there any other self-sufficient red states?

...which are financed by blue states.
That's right, the country simply could not afford to be all red states, because at some point they would run out of other people's money!

Without them, people would drive more safely to protect themselves, and this would make the streets safer for people who walk and ride bikes.
Or they earn money from your drink. Ads, computer cycles, or drink--pick one.
Amazon is also subsidized in the USA.
And then we wonder why bookstores keep shutting down. We are not a bright people.

Why is a regressive tax good for poor people?

That's a remarkably Marxist argument.
