This is also true in many, many countries to some degree or another. The US has no legal education requirements for elected judges and even many appointed ones. Many European countries allow lay people to act as…
The nutrition information is highly regulated in both countries. The Japanese take it a step further and regulate the marketing part of the label. Pictures must match the contents in size, shape and appearance. Juices…
Yes. That’s kind of the point. The words aren’t that far apart in etymology either. By Latin definitions the most popular (liked by the general public) candidate will be the democratically chosen (rule by the people)…
Chronic long-term use of high amounts of caffeine (>600 mg, or two Starbucks Grande coffees) are linked with: bone density issues, sleep issues, anxiety issues, cardiovascular strain, stomach acid issues. They aren't…
I think this is a case of rare being relative to the past. In the 90s and earlier it was hard to be in a city and not be breathing cigarette smoke pretty much constantly. Offices had ashtrays in the elevator waiting…
Like so much in today’s world, this is kinda Peter thiel’s fault. He bankrolled the Hulk Hogan lawsuit against Gawker as revenge because they reported on him being gay. The judgement forced gawker into bankruptcy where…
You can - literally - have the same government force the negligent CPA pay via the judiciary. That’s what a lawsuit is. Normally it doesn’t get to that point though. CPAs do not want to be known as the person that…
How long is a piece of string?
From the IRS' point of view, the tax-payer is responsible for paying all of it. You can then turn around and sue to recover any of the fees/fines or penalties incurred as a result of an error made by the accountant, not…
Typically you are on the hook for paying the actual taxes and penalties, but if you acted in good faith on the negligent advice of a tax professional many jurisdictions allow you to recover the costs of penalties and…
Or is that a reflection of Kia buyers...
Those retina Mac’s are intel, no? You could just run any other OS if any of the free OS upgrades that Apple provides aren’t good enough.
FYI: it is no longer legal to make you wait for the drug dog in the United States. They must conclude the stop in a reasonable amount of time, without delay, and if the drug dog hasn’t arrived in the time that it takes…
An oligopoly is typically defined as when the majority of the market is captured by a few players leading to pricing control. It does not matter that there are dozens of other players, it is about who controls the…
"I won't continue to be your customer if you cannot provide the service I need" Is not "Karen behaviour". Continuing to patronize a business that will not sell you a product you want is being a pushover. The flip side…
Ah, very interesting. Many modern codes prohibit this for this exact reason. For example, in North America any residential door will have a thumb lever or other means of unlatching from the inside without a key.
Can you not unlock it from the inside?
Government granted monopolies are granted under oversight and regulation that would be extreme in any other scenario. Many of them don't even get to set prices. No discipline or market forces needed. The regulators just…
Isn't power production and rates a provincial concern? Why in the world would the cost of electricity be a factor in wanting to separate federally by anyone with the slightest amount of brain tissue?
I didn't actually provide my view on that. I just said that the evidence that you are picking from tells a more complex story than "their stock is near an ATH" when it hasn't even recovered to where it was the day…
Their stock price hasn't recovered to where it was when the disaster happened more than 15 years after the event, and they are out $140 billion. Its kind of deceptive to talk about nearing an all time high without…
Scientists are - rightfully - reluctant to assign causal relationships when the data does not support it. Scientists should not change the scientific method so morons can continue to ignore or cherrypick their studies.
The interceptor cost is only half the point. If you can get any drones through at all, it still comes out assymetrical. If you shoot 9/10 of my drones down with magically free munitions, but I blow up a refinery or take…
Hitting a ground target is much easier.
