I would've loved to see the creativity that went on between you trying to get through as many pages as possible and your mom trying to ensure you read them

The EU is probably even more divided from what I can see over there in Europe. Aren't Italy, Austria, and Spain actively looking into leaving?

I would say the large majority doesn't care about net neutrality in any meaningful way. Personally, I researched it and couldn't find any reason to a have a stance on the issue.

And then sales tax when they buy things and an estate tax when they die.

They also tried "global ice age" in the 70s and 80s to push recycling.

Is it your companies official stance that they have the sole right to determine what is OPEN SOURCE code? From an outsider who reads this phrase in countless contexts, this feels like an incredibly naive and non-legally binding opinion

I think the main point is that there wouldn't be any new development in ocean-side cities if people believed the sensationalism, not that everyone would take up farming.

Out of curiosity where are you living where the public school are so bad the only alternative is 300k+? I live in a larger midwestern city and the public schools are decent. Some students will go to Harvard, most go to a respected state school, some don't go to college

If that drone falls, it will hit the ground at ~55 mph (ignoring wind resistance etc.). I would rather not have a 4 pound object smack into my head at 55 mph just because some parent thought their child could handle it

When I worked in telecom (a while ago) the manufacturing was shifted from China to Thailand/Other SE Asia due to this. The Thai companies weren't as efficient, but were much more open and honest when problems would arise., plus they didn't blatantly steal tech

Its so frustrating when science become politicized. Every "statistics on guns" report is either "America is less safe than Somalia" or "America gun owners are the safest people in the world". It's infuriating how politics an run math and science

There is an easy way out too: "We believe mandating the purchase of a new car may be difficult for some families and may inadvertently discriminate against the poor". Add some buzzwords like "singe mother", "working through college", and "recently laid off" and it'll be one of the easiest regulations to walk out of, assuming anyone remembers in 2030

Maybe if the US regulates hard enough, they can stifle progress and become like Europe!

No need to be condescending on a legitimate point. Inflation is influenced by a lot of factors and is a legitimate concern

He's also gamed them a few times to accidentally cover good data. Most notably when he "leaked" the low jobs numbers and CNN/NYT covered it non stop
