Well there's some incentive to get their networks working quickly, before too many users complain and demand refunds, and also for bragging rights to say they fixed their network before their competitors did, but the repairs cost money so that's the disincentive.
Now if they charged by the gigabyte, they would be losing a lot more money, but it's more lucrative to falsely advertise "unlimited" bandwidth and throttle your heaviest users. Yes, Pai rolled back the rule against that, too, remember? What a mess.
It's not just a war on poverty, it's a war against those who want to feel good about themselves by being wealthier than someone else and by sprinkling pennies down from above, which they call "charity." Those are the people who work to keep the poor poor by opposing any legislation that redistributes wealth from the rich to the poor because that's "stealing," and supporting regressive taxes (inexplicably not stealing) and other laws that redistribute wealth from the poor to the rich.
We've tried unopposed for thousands of years to eradicate poverty through charity alone, and it didn't work. Then we tried it for a few short decades through government support amid fierce opposition, and finally made some headway and figured out what needs to happen next, yet its opponents still call the war on poverty a "failure."
The cycle of poverty is one of today's common analogies of slavery, and sadly there are many who want to perpetuate it for their own happiness and financial gain. Just as people did long ago with slavery's more overt form.
The Federal government may not be able to restrict your free speech rights, but that doesn't mean they have no power over the states attempts to do the same thing.
The Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment gives them that power. Does due process apply to Net Neutrality?
There's no need to make voting mandatory, only to make showing up at the polls on election day mandatory like in Australia. Then the Electoral College would no longer be needed to avoid regional factions from having too much voting power (see Federalist No. 10). If you want to abolish the Electoral College, it helps to remove its advantages.
But of course the party of voter suppression would never go for mandatory voting so this idea is dead in the water for the moment.
b) people switched to cars because they are better.
Also because of massive road subsidies and governments forcing developers and business owners to provide more parking than the market wanted (unfunded mandates).
The point is, we do not need to use the force of government to compel ourselves to change.
See above. We (ab-)used the force of government to make us all good obedient little oil consumers.
In the USA, the right has an unwritten plan to control population: keep refugees of violence out, keep the poor poor, keep health care unaffordable, keep guns in the hands of unstable people, arm the police with military equipment, start some wars, use density limits to limit the population-carrying capacity of the land, etc.
The left is unrolling the right's efforts to curb population by working to make everyone healthy and prosperous.
Unfortunately, the right is also trying to make the planet inhospitable to all life. A post-human Earth would look very different if the right had their way versus the left, and might lead to no intelligent species ever inhabiting the Earth again.
The red states could not afford to allow the blue states to secede, so they will probably not let it happen no matter how many liberal judges and politicians California and the other blue states be promise to take with them.
Why can't you route your call through your office in order to avoid the need to spoof your number? That would be like a VPN for telephone calls.
An alternative would be something similar to SPF so the recipient knows that you own both numbers (cell+office) and displays your office number when they receive a call from your cell phone.
Except that heat pump water heaters are two to three times as energy-efficient as resistive heaters, and if you can run a refrigerator or air conditioner on the waste cold, you'll save energy that way also.
But you're partially right, in a very cold climate, a tankless heater can be more efficient.
That's pretty neat. Another example of making the same energy do two things at once is using a heat pump to heat something and cool something else at the same time, like this or this.
When police officers are no longer fired for de-escalation, then you can say that excessive force is not the status quo. I hope to live long enough to see that world.
Since the USA consumes much of what China produces, the USA has a lot of influence on China's emissions. For example, we could tax foreign carbon and thereby force China to find less carbon-intensive ways to make things. So even though our emissions are only half of China's (and more than any other country besides China), we have a lot of power to reduce emissions in both countries.
The short sellers who closed during that time have grounds to sue, yes. The ones who who have not yet closed are strongly incentivized to sue (if they are allowed) not just for the damages but also to drive the stock price even lower and earn themselves a profit on the lawsuit. These are the same ones who reported every piece of bad news about Tesla they could find, for personal gain. It's all a conflict of interest, definitely corrupt even though it may not be illegal like what Musk is accused of doing.
Here are the pollutants that Actually damage human lungs and deserve the label "dangerous"
I see, an air pollutant is only dangerous if it causes damage targeting your lungs. If it causes you to die by means of natural disaster, it is perfectly safe.
Are you sure that methane didn't do something to you?
Excellent! More bugs to fix, bugs created by programmers who didn't know what they were doing and were never expected to maintain the codebase in the future and so they made a big unreadable mess that just barely works, usually.
You are legally required to drive more slowly in icy conditions. This is known as the Basic Speed Law. When you illegally drive faster than what's reasonable and prudent under the current conditions, you should expect bad things to happen and so again any crash is not accidental.

Yes, Republicans suppress people who might vote Democrat, and Democrats also suppress people who might vote Democrat.

Ask a farmer if temperatures affect yield.

That's true, the fines should be proportional to income in order to make them a true deterrent against reckless driving by wealthy people.

It's an interesting idea but it would be much more effective if getting swatted were opt-in rather than opt-out.
What's next, getting-hit-on-the-head lessons?
It's disturbing that people actually believe that.
It would certainly confuse the liberals!

What do conservatives think we should do about our socialized roads?
There isn't enough evidence to support your claim.

That's a self-contradiction. If alcohol was involved, it was no accident. The word "accidental" means the result could not have been anticipated.
Which side is the "nowhere" side, Los Angeles or San Francisco?
