I miss the old days when that happened and you knew to feel bad for an ol' baw who stalled it at a red light. I still catch myself every now and then thinking, "Oh, they just stalled." Nope, just some bullshite auto cutoff.
Of course he was. All we needed to do was actually enforce the laws we have. Or, ya know......actually try to stop it.

It is cute that you believe you have everything and everyone figured out. You play your role well, boy.

I understand the concern, but demanding we "abide" by IP and let the world have access is not the answer either.

You're talking about billion dollar plus companies. I'm concerned for real people who rely on the protection of IP laws every day for a living. The tech giants are cutting the legs out from under every single one of them, and want to do so unfettered and unencumbered by law. Disney should be the least of anyone's concern in this scenario.

This is happening because the United States Government has continued to coddle and subsidize Boeing for so long, that Boeing behaves as sclerotic and inefficient as our federal government. It is behind on delivering a new Air Force One. Its latest space-capade was a boondoggle. Boeing is an institution in need of serious reform and its failures have led the President in the direction of this Qatari plane, which the Qatari Royal Family intended to divest anyway.

Yet, Donald and the crew still gave them $20 Billion to design and build our next generation fighter jets.

If our healthcare system is the "free market", it is the most absurdly bastardized version possible of it.

Maybe. Maybe not.

Awww, I bet you say that to all the democrats.

You're right, I do. I don't give a shite who the EOs are coming from. We rely on them too much and they aren't wins. We've ceded too much power to the Executive Branch. Our Legislature, one third of our government, is nothing more than a fricking dog and pony show that serves very little purpose now. We could save a hell of a lot of money by sending them back to the house.

We now have a soft dictatorship that is little more than a revolving door for whichever fricking team captures the flag. No president in our time has left a real legacy. What they accomplish can mostly be undone just as easily as it was done because Executive Orders aren't worth a shite in the long run, they're only good to pacify the base and give the appearance of accomplishment.

GUT the power of the Executive Order. Kill our over reliance on its use for governance. Institute term limits on every publicly elected position in this country, and force our Legislature to do its fricking job and legislate. Anything short of that, and it is nothing more than the same old circus.

Now, frick off with trying to force me into some R vs D box that seems to be the only fricking talking point you can muster.

Dipshit, look at the numbers. Trump isn't even in the top 20.

I don't care. Gut the power of the EO and force the Legislature to do their fricking jobs.

150. He's averaging more than one a day. We have given the EO way too much power, and it has rendered a third of our government useless. No one should celebrate governance by EO. Period.
He knows better. If he has an opinion, they'll fire his arse.

No. It's not, no matter how much you want it to be.

Yes. It is, whether you are smart enough to understand it or not.

Do like almost all other civilized countries have already done, and ban big pharma from advertising on networks and publications.

What? You think it is weird to watch TV and have every commercial break feature a drug ad complete with theme songs and cartoon mascots?

Seriously, one of them has a fricking cartoon turtle family pimping their medication.
quote:

Good.

There should be less laws. Not more

Meanwhile, we have a President who will shatter records for Executive Orders. No need for new laws? It appears as though he disagrees with you.

1 Big, Beautiful Bill to rule them all!

Thank God for AI so that we will actually be able to read that 10,000 page monstrosity, right?
But, hey......we are sneaking up on 150 Executive Orders.
quote:

No problem with that at all.

Of course you would have no problem with that at all. Never mind that now those same people that want free use of everything on their platforms also want free use of literally everything anywhere protected by any IP law. By free use they mean that they want to be able to use their AI to mine the information and use it for financial gain without compensating the original creators in any way. Oh, and they want this ability whilst still being able to vehemently defend their own intellectual properties.

No conflict of interest here......none at all.
