They aren't going to pay any crippling/financially ruinous fines to the UK, EU, or anyone else. If it gets ruinous, they will just blow it off completely because, short of invading, there's nothing they can really do. Freeze and seize assets that Facebook hold in territory they control, yes, block access to facebook at all UK ISPS (good luck...). that's about it. But you aren't going to arrest Zuckerberg, you aren't going to put them out of business, no matter how you stop your little feet.
It says right up front that they "knowingly violated" laws, but in the actual content, they are talking about passing laws to hold them accountable. It's far from clear that this is not a case of someone wanting to declare something "illegal" trying to make it true, ex post facto.
If there are already laws they are breaking, then you don't need new ones. Not to mention that this smacks of another EU-style shakedown, where people take the existing situation at Facebook, Google, etc, and then pass laws against it, then immediately demand them "pay their fair share" for breaking these laws (that we passes last week).
The FDA shuts down companies making medical claims for "supplements" all the time, the premise being that they are falsely advertising medical treatments. Or in the words of the original press release âoeillegally marketed as unapproved new drugsâ. The word illegally is the important bit. They get the phony diet and vitamin pushers on the same premise, the same thing prevents the sale of snake oil/patent medicine in many cases, when touted as cures for disease.
Elon Musk on the other hand single-handedly started the switch-over to electrical vehicles and is leading space launch technology. He is neither "scummy" nor a "salesguy".
Singlehandedly? "leading space launch technology"? What are you, 12? Nothing Musk does is new, and most of it isn't even interesting from an engineering standpoint, and only the most naive could possibly believe otherwise. Learn some technology history from *before* people started equating "techology" with "computers".
He's a classic nouveau riche dabbler/boor, initially using his own overnight wealth and now using federal subsidies as a piggy bank. He is one step from the "Rich Texan" on The Simpsons.
No. His concept was wrong, although he couldn't have known that at the time. He didn't even believe in "hertzian waves" (AKA radio). His vision was to drive the earth into resonance, like a big Tesla coil. Disspative sources unknown to him would have required an inconceivable amount of power, most of which would have been wasted or caused the earth to heat up to get any consequential power back out of it. You could make a communication system with it, but vastly, vastly less efficient than radio (check out what it takes to talk to submarines through VLF).
We don't need a research project for that, it's deadly obvious - people hear nothing but badmouthing about how terrible this country is from morning to night, despite the fact that they are warm, safe, wealthy (by world standards), and have things absurdly easy. A bunch of fucking whiners, they feel like everything is absolutely terrible, even though they are living in the greatest country on earth in the best time to be living here.
You mean those that have nothing to do with the Russians and occured long before there was a Trump campaign? And as far as I can tell, there is exactly *one* person in jail so far. The Russians were involved through the Hillary campaign, with faking the "Trump Dossier", etc, and while some have been indicted, they are conveniently out of reach.
The "whole bunch of people in jail" nonsense is just an example of what I was talking about. Just like Karl Rove getting "frog-marched out of the White House", and a series of similar delusional notions held by the hard left.
Were you really responding to me? Because I made mostly the same points above.
The varnishing/coking/non-volatile residue is a real issue as well, but cleaning it is relatively simple matter. There are F1s that had 30+ runs, which is more attempts than you will ever get with a flight unit, so it's not an insoluble (get it...) problem.

He claims to have never had plastic surgery. If true, he put is face into a blender on "liquify". He is a good candidate for "Botched".
The best cons are when the mark never knows he was conned.
Trapped in a space capsule with Carrot Top of a year and a half. Someone's going out the airlock, either him or me, problem solved either way.
Of course. But they can't make claims of medical utility, or that they are cures or treatments for disease, without FDA approval.

They will care when they get shut down.
with a hand down the pants, no doubt.
Musk also said that he was going to ride a unicorn to Saturn, too, Why hasn't Rei reported on that, too?

So you are so constitutionally weak that you are slaves to it, therefore it is morally wrong to offer you something you might want to buy?
Why is that that so many people think they require protection from the most trivial things?
Don't try patenting that idea, it has 75 years of prior art.
Gee, the "creators" don't like the "dislike" button? But they are A-OK with the "like" button? That's stunning, who would have guessed?
With people like you, sounds like a pretty good plan.
Fixed that for you.
Well, will everybody shut the hell up about it, then?
Of course, it's a lot easier to take if from someone else than to work for it
Look up "Virtue Signalling".

Uh, aren't the left the ones obsessed with nutty Russian conspiracy theories 24/7? With a little time set aside for impeachment fantasies?
