When did hotels become customs and immigration officers?
They are not.
Why are you recording the information from my drivers license and passport?
Because the law requires it.
Why do you need my email address and mobile phone number??????
To contact you. Email is for non-urgent communications -e.g. reservation confirmations and copies of your bill (and likely for marketing spam). Mobile phone is for urgent communications -e.g. (water leak / fire / burglary) affecting your room and possessions while you were out.
Why do you need the registration information of my rental car??????
To identify which cars in the parking lot are from registered guests. Perhaps there was an accident involving a parked car -would you rather get a call from the front desk, or just be surprised when you go to leave? Perhaps there was a hit & run, and the police tracked the car to this hotel...
Which hotel allows you to throw parties with hundreds of people?
Most large hotels have ballrooms and banquet facilities available. They also have security, bartenders, cleaning staff, and maintenance workers. Oh, and they charge you appropriately for use of all of the above.
We have several people working four 10s and taking off Fridays
Unless they are paid overtime, this is illegal in some states, including California.
California specifically allows flex-time schedules, such as 4x10 and 9x80. In some areas, your company can even qualify for a tax credit for implementing them (it reduces traffic congestion).
Then isn't it convenient that we are not talking about a company in your country?
In THIS COUNTRY it is normal for large companies to maintain their own emergency response teams to act as first responders and to coordinate with the authorities.
Okay, so you are saying that at least 35% were white but not born US citizens, likely much higher given that as you say some of the non-white employees were likely US born.
This is just taking us even further from the published stats, which are legally mandated with consequences for them being inaccurate.
America is a country and has... fifty sets of laws?
The United States of America is a union of states, each with their own laws, although they have agreed to be bound by the laws of the Union. This is similar to the countries of Europe, each with their own laws, who have agreed to implement as laws the rules of the European Union.
Willful misunderstanding does not demonstrate intelligence, only obstinance.
This would seem to be a clear case of tortious interference.
Apple is using their economic value to pressure Amazon into dropping third party sellers, thereby interfering in the business relationship between Amazon and the third party sellers, and causing measurable economic harm to the third party sellers by depriving them of the sales they would otherwise be expected to make via Amazon's platform.
Tortious interference, in the common law of torts, occurs when one person intentionally damages someone else's business relationships with a third party causing economic harm.
It's obvious why anyone would go to coastal California for the weather (homeless or not).
No way man! It was in the low 50s and foggy when I woke up this morning, and upper 60s and sunny this afternoon. This kind of extreme weather is intolerable!
Fraud requires some potential benefit to the perpetrator or damage to the victim. YOU giving someone other people's money meets both standards. FB approving an ad has neither.
YOU also have a bit more capability to determine identity than Facebook has. YOU have access to SSN, for example, gathered when people opened the accounts. FB does not, or at least, should not.
It could certainly cause harm to accept false adds:
Imagine an add that says "Lets cut the heads off of all the immigrant children, and then rape their corpses! -Paid for by Senator whomever."
Most adds falsely placed for political shit-stirring would probably be less extreme, but you see my point.
Facebook should certainly implement some verification step before allowing adds to go live. Perhaps they have -the journalists above did not actually pay for and place any adds, they just performed a single step of the process of signing up to place adds one hundred times.
But ultimately no business can entirely prevent fraud
But they sure can be held to a much higher standard than Facebook currently is. I work at a financial institution and our fraud prevention techniques are certainly not foolproof. Although if we ever found out that one group attempted to receive distributions for 100 of our clients, while contacting us with the email address 'youreasucker@cantbelievethisworks.com', and we were willing to give them our clients money, we would and should be shut down.
I'm not saying Facebook should be held to the same standard as a hospital or bank, but it is bullshit to hide behind the argument that no one can prevent all fraud. It is a straw-man argument.
You might not give someone's money without careful authorization, but you would certainly take money on someones behalf.. say making a payment on a loan? No problem and no questions asked, right? Your vaunted fraud prevention wouldn't prevent that. See the difference?
Musk still has a seat on the board of directors. He gives up only his position as chairman of the board of directors.
The appointment of the 2 additional directors will serve to dilute his control over the company, as it is the board which sets out the directives the CEO/president (aka Musk) must follow.
Musk has good ideas. His companies do some cool shit.
He is loosing it.
He should have taken this deal.
-no admission of wrongdoing. -minor (for a billionaire) fine. -step down as chairman (can remain as president/CEO) for 2 years. -appoint 2 independent board members.
That is not a bad deal. It is a very slight slap on the wrist.
Of course, there will be a different deal negotiated... but in the mean time the company is suffering due to the publicity generated by this misstep.

Just to clarify:

OK. I'll bite and try to give real answers.

I'd still like to know what the "H" stands for.
H is for Harvey
That would be completely illegal in my country.

How to filter this apk shit out ?
I think that you can do it with a hosts file entry...

For a European it truly boggles the mind that you can have laws that are NOT the law in the entire country.
Seriously?
There are no laws in France that are not laws in Italy?

Your beliefs are blinding you to reality. Tesla is doing pretty well. Deal with it.
Nice try dude.
The definition of terms given as part of this law is only relevant for defining what is covered by this law.
Yes. It works well.
You have a future as Handicapper General.
So how many will they sell (most likely at a loss) at $35K? Because right now, Tesla is well out-sold by other car models, let alone car brands.
Bullshit.
According to Bloomberg the Model 3 is the 5th best selling sedan in America, regardless of price or size.
1st - Toyota Corolla
2nd - Toyota Camry
3rd - Honda Civic
4th - Honda Accord
5th - Tesla Model 3
That's pretty damn good.
