What he’s saying is not beyond what Congress has previously laid down though. First sale doctrine should let you do whatever you want, but they actually banned renting phonographs because they thought people were recording them on tape. We’re lucky they didn’t outlaw movie rentals too back in the day. Whole copyright regime needs to die in a fire.

aren’t delivering on the promised economic activity

There doesn’t exist a company that gives a flying turd fuck about a government’s revenue. Particularly not if they took tax breaks to reduce that revenue in the first place.

Any employer that’s a union buster deserves to be boycotted until they close and something better comes along to fill the need (which it will do quickly). In truth, the grocery supply chain/warehousing being so strongly coupled with the supermarkets is the primary point of inertia in the US regarding grocery stores opening where they’re needed. Most independent distributors only focus on restaurant contracts, because they can achieve higher margins there.

Edit: Not that coop distribution doesn’t exist. For example https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associated_Wholesale_Grocers who are represented by the teamsters in four of their distribution centers.

They haven’t had a problem in NZ and Aus.

It’s the courts themselves that would have to break them up, so it’s not an issue there. It’s just a very high bar to clear because the courts don’t care about anticompetitive practices unless it has a detrimental effect on the consumer. You’d be hard pressed to argue that things like YouTube and Gmail coupled with the cloud service, the ad service and the phone service are causing actual harm to the consumer that competition wouldn’t. I don’t see how YouTube would survive in its current form if it used third party ads, hosting, and CDN, the same way prime video and twitch are very dependent on Amazon Web services. Back in the day, for example, interurban electric trolleys were often owned by power companies. They used the power company’s right of way for the electric lines for the tracks too and of course their power. That’s anticompetitive, but frankly good for the consumer. That said, I wouldn’t be sad to see it burn in a fire either.

I doubt choosing to stick up a vehicle covered in cameras with someone who likely isn’t even carrying cash is anyone’s idea of a good payoff.

Like he said though, being fabless means there’s no assets to hold the bag on. It’s the fabs that stop getting profitable orders that tank. Worst case is they do layoffs.

I got me a hundred gigabytes of RAM

I never feed trolls and I don’t read spam

Don’t forget, they’re slander and disinformation machines too.

They are adept at what they need to achieve whatever goal they’re trying to achieve. Gen Z are much better at using proxies to get around content blockers than millennials are.

When you fight and communicate by typing in a game, you tend to get good at it.

You wouldn’t shoot a policeman and then steal his helmet.

You’ll never see dosage questions like that on the NCLEX. If you do it’ll be like one. I breezed through it when I took it, but basic knowledge questions are minimal (as long as you don’t get them wrong).

Israel is already happy in using it’s white phosphorus munitions on civilian targets like it’s been doing for the last 20 years.

Side note: court listener’s RECAP is often quite disliked by the legal system. They do not like it when people put stuff from PACER fee waved sources on there like Aaron Schwartz did. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Law_Project

Yeah, and it’s getting worse not better.

unless the IP is bought

It’s always bought on liquidation. The creditors require it to be sold to legally satisfy them. What’s worse is that the IP may only be licensed in the first place.
