Since it's local politics that you're probably unfamiliar with, it's pretty simple. It was already budgeted. It was also a campaign promise not to end this program, and now it's being ended, and Ms. MacLeod fully admits it's a campaign promise they're completely reneging on because it plays well to their populist base.
Are you saying a small business can't take a location and product and return a sales tax rate? Jeez, and here I thought small businesses liked markets to compete in.
Companies circumventing the intent of this ruling would simply be painting a target on their backs for additional scrutiny and legislation. There are lots of legal loopholes you can drive trucks through, but you don't do it because it'd just result in those loopholes being closed.
Any kind of loan is a service a bank offers that comes with terms attached. Nobody is obligated to loan you money, dummy. Does it piss you off that your bank insists you use the money from a mortgage to purchase a house?
The rich aren't affected (even though they claim they are).
This is weapons grade stupidity. The point of taxes isn't to make people feel something. It's to collect money to use to do things that make a society healthier and more productive.
Well, they certainly shouldn't expect dumb people to take their estimates seriously. But then again, expecting dumb people to do reasonable things is dumb.
In other words, this is an example of how a for profit business model for a hospital is naturally leads to the kind of behavior you have to spend more money (as a tax payer) to legislate away.
Yes, but presumably this is in cooperation with hospitals (or I guess more likely retailers in hospitals? retailers beside hospitals?) because you need some kind of control, either directly or by some kind of business arrangement, of the access points that are designated as being part of the fence.
People ultimately need to be held responsible for proper disposal and/or recycling of materials and consumables they are consuming.
That's more expensive, more work, and less likely to be enforced. It makes sense to place the onus in a centralized place where it's actually enforceable. Companies are made to be held responsible for all kinds of things consumers do for this reason, and it makes sense if your only goal is to actually solve a problem and not wring your hands about how to evenly divide accountability or blame.

Of course it's a joke. The fuck is wrong with you? /. Is an island of sanity? Ok, that's what's wrong with you.

We have no way of knowing how bad the voter fraud problem is
Such a convenient lie to believe.
You should blame yourself for being tedious. Being skilled doesn't mean much if you're a tedious human being nobody wants to work with.

A small business that can't manage to collect a sales tax doesn't seem like much of a business to me.
Companies circumventing the intent of this ruling would simply be painting a target on their backs for additional scrutiny and legislation. There are lots of legal loopholes you can drive trucks through, but you don't do it because it'd just result in those loopholes being closed.
The tragedy is that imagine you believe yourself to be smart.

They are in it for profit
Oh, my sweet summer child ..
The reality is most of the money will be diverted right in to the politicians
This is so stupid a sentiment, it hurts.

If you can only do one activity at a time, this makes sense. But since that's not the case, your argument makes zero sense.
You appear to be under the impression that "kind of difficult" trumps filling the oceans with garbage.
You're an idiot.
Well written and funny, but I hope you're not proposing that the metaphor holds up.
It must be fun to take everything at face value.
They're not historians.
Think of all the times you thought you were being smart. You're living a lie.
