The obvious response, then, is to change the social conventions that require a man be the primary breadwinner for a family. There are a number of quality-of-life improvements you could make for men once that was done away with.

What makes it valid scientific data is controlling for other confounding variables. Without said controls, you cannot simply take a body of anecdotes and derive any worthwhile conclusions, particularly regarding causal relationships.

And it may not be a net victory at all. For all anyone knows, these plugins will end up being worse than Flash was.

You may want to read about civil disobedience.

For one reason: neither the buildings nor the land they rest upon can be duplicated, let alone for zero cost. Another is that society obtains greater benefit when ideas and works are spread more widely.

Intellectual property law exists solely for the purpose of encouraging individuals to share their works by granting a limited monopoly on them so they can gain monetary benefit from doing so. This is done with the understanding that some non-zero fraction of inventors and artists would refrain from doing so in the absence of this protection. The end goal is to maximize the spread of ideas.

The problem is that people do not all agree as to how long various intellectual property protections should last in order to accomplish this goal.

When it comes to discoveries and inventions, larger proportions of them now require teams rather than individuals and large amounts of resources. The entities now predominantly holding ownership of these properties are functionally immortal, hold large influence over the lawmaking process, and arguably care little for the societal benefit of eventually releasing ideas into the public domain. This is further complicated by the growing realization that intellectual property protections can also serve to substantially hinder the birth and spread of new ideas.

Surely the implication is that the data was encrypted first. You can (and should!) encrypt your data before putting it up in the cloud.

Were every working adult in the country suddenly transitioned to minimum wage jobs overnight, surely you would agree it reflects a change in state of the economy. Arguably, then, using a trinary value such as "has a job", "does not have a job but looking for one", and "does not have a job and not looking for another" is insufficient at tracking the current state of the economy.

Why did you change the acronym? IoT works perfectly fine - two different ways, in fact!

The less obvious one is Internet of Tumors

Because often times, it's better than the original content: no unskippable ads, no unskippable piracy warnings (lol), and no DRM/malware.

I think you mean that it doesn't necessarily mean one less job. There is a possibility it means that. For example, the business could pocket the extra profit and hoard it rather than reinvest.

As stated above: there is no requirement that the money saved gets spent anywhere. The business could pocket the profit and do nothing with it.

This is actually a growing concern of late, as we have seen a number of top businesses start to hoard cash - the best example of which would be Apple, which is sitting on over $200 Billion.

It's certainly the ideal that everyone works to create more wealth overall. We can hope that automation starts to open up new markets like technological advances of the past did, but we should prepare for the possibility that it won't.

If the worst happens, and we end up with a growing group of poor, hungry individuals, then make work projects could be better than inviting future civil unrest. That's somewhat of a moot point, though, as there is plenty of neglected infrastructure that we as a country could start training and paying people to repair.

Approving mergers generally falls under the purview of the FTC (see merger review).

The only reason the FCC came up is due to the fact that the two companies may have had to transfer FCC licenses as part of the deal. Since it appears no transferal is taking place, the FCC is not involved.
