Folk who have the resources to pawn the problem off to someone else, that's who.

"Nobody prevents boat access to the beach btw." ... for now. Seems a bunch of rich folk over in Florida are trying to keep boats from anchoring off their yards and ruining their views: https://www.soundingsonline.co...

If the quote on the Statue of Liberty means nothing, then it should be taken down. Otherwise we look like a bunch of hypocrites.

Instead of threatening Google, why isn't the NYPD asking Google to dump the traffic data... Then filter out the folk who are regularly speeding along the same route?

I grew up the son of a farmer. Ever bailed hay? It's a fairly time sensitive process. Bail it too wet, and you run the chance of mold and mildew, if not having it rot, spontaneously combust, and burn your barn down. Too dry, and it degrades the quality of the hay. Point is, when the hay is ready, it's gotta be bailed.

Dad's tractor set up consisted of an International tractor, a JD square baker with a kicker, followed by the hay wagon. We came off a side hill with the wagon 3/4 full. Dad didn't head right down the hill, but kept performing S turns to keep the weight of the load pushing the tractor down the hill. The wagon had enough weight to push the baler sideways, down the hill, and snapped the wheel mount off the baler. Cast iron, popped, dropping the baler onto the ground.

I thought for sure the day was done. Nope. Dad unhitched the wagon from the baler, parked it sideways up the hill about 20'. Ran a rope down to anchor the baler from sliding further when he jacked it up. Grabbed another mount off the spare junker parts baler, replaced it, and went back to baling hay. Took two hours, at most.

Tell my Dad that something broke on the tractor and he'll need to wait hours/days for some third party service to fix it, and I guarantee you he'd have trailored it down to the dealership and done his best to shove it up someone's arse sideways, then gone back to 1950's technology that he could repair himself without trouble.

Were you sleeping through the last Democratic primary?

There is that. Plenty of blame to go around for both parties.

Taking a page right out of Trump's book... blame the guy who came before you.

Take this "treated, cooked, and compressed" wood, and use it to make plywood.

New York State tried forcing registration of assault weapons. It failed miserably: https://hudsonvalleyone.com/20...

FAA is bundling fixed wing and helicopter RC models into the drone category as well. Hence the outrage from the folk who have been responsibly flying their fixed wing and helicopter models for years, without any need for gov't oversight.

We also question the usefulness of the registration. Each model is not registered, just the owner. Each aircraft should be labeled with the owner's info, so it would be easy to spoof someone else's info onto a given model. The likelihood of the registration info surviving ingestion into a typical turbine engine is unlikely as well, rendering the issue moot.

Please explain how a local government catering to a single provider by preventing all others from hanging/sharing cables and thus providing service, in exchange for kickbacks from that single provider is anything but fascism.

To quote your linked article:
"Fascism's distinguishing characteristic is a "mixed economy." Unlike socialists and communists who seek to abolish private business, fascists are content to let business remain in private hands. Instead, fascists use regulations, mandates, and taxes to control business and run (and ruin) the economy. A fascist system, then, is one where private businesses serve politicians and bureaucrats instead of consumers. Does the modern American economy not fit the definition of fascism?"

Nationalizing the infrastructure doesn't work if it leads to the same situation we're in now, with most of the country being served by one broadband provider. Nationalizing the infrastructure does work if it leads to increased competition amongst multiple broadband providers. However we solve this particular issue, by nationalizing the infrastructure or some other way... it comes down to that. Limiting competition is bad for the consumer, and encouraging competition is good.

Then stop the glut of local and state governments creating a monopoly on service providers by allowing one provider to string cable on poles and no others. Prevent the same governments from preventing municipality-owned service providers as well.

You want to get the government out of infrastructure? Get them out then.

'Til then, you're nothing but a fascist fool destroying what's left of America.

Reminds me of the stores that Jack up prices 100% overnight, then hang a 25% off sale sign the next morning.
