Not enough opportunity to grift off the taxpayers. Private enterprise will focus on faster, cheaper, better while the government and its contractors focus on keeping the gravy training running.

One side issues the judge brought up is that no points go on the driver's record with a red light camera offense. The entire point of the points system is to get bad drivers off the road. But people can have numerous red light infractions and still keep their license.


I would bet big bucks that the people not on SNAP are healthier than those on it.

SNAP is supposed to be about nutrition.


The law's definition of harm is massively subjective. It will have judges who think words are violence or make the process the punishment.

This is a law that will be used to censor.


OK? Law is subjective to a degree because it has to be. We write tests and rules and then a judge figures out the specific outcome. That's how law works.


Like a prior SCOTUS did with Brown v Board of Education, which was a very good overturning of precedent?

SCOTUS has been liberal since the FDR days. The pendulum has now swung in the opposite direction.

The current SCOTUS is reducing the power of the administrative state and the unelected bureaucrats.


> The current SCOTUS is reducing the power of the administrative state and the unelected bureaucrats.

Yes, and concentrating it in the executive. When are we going to stop pretending that the unitary executive dream isn't real?


It's not a dream and hasn't been for decades. It's more a problem now because the federal government as a whole has gotten so powerful. Returning power to the states is one alternative.


It's not about returning power to the states.

It's the same dog whistle as States Rights vs Slavery. When push comes to shove the confederacy banned states from determing their own slavery policy.

We see this extremely obviously with the AI policy of the white house which is _do not_ let the states decide.

Elected Republican dogma is "State's Rights" when the states would decide the "correct" right and it's Federal supremacy when they wouldn't.


I want a browser to prioritize speed, standards, stability and security.

All other features should come via add-ons.

Plus, if I want an AI in my browser I don't want it locked to Mozilla's AI.


What do you mean by "locked to Mozilla's AI"? Mozilla doesn't host an AI chat bot to my knowledge.

It is known that if you can't afford a house, fewer people have babies. The entire setup is real.


Apple and F1 reach 5-year media deal, bringing all races to Apple TV streaming in the U.S. Starting in 2026 all F1 events will be exclusively on Apple TV.


Property taxes have no place in a free society. That kind of tax is also known as rent payments. If you stop paying the tax the REAL owner of the property evicts you from the property.

The solution is to replace the property tax with a sales tax.

To ensure that the sales tax doesn't hit the poor too hard the state can determine how much someone at the poverty line pays on average in sales taxes every month ie $200. The state then sends a check for $200 to every state resident every month.


Alien is the statutory term. If you don't like it get the law changed.
