Well, we have been so successful at lowering taxes half the population pays only 2.5% of the tax burden. Not per person, the whole group.
You can't reduce the federal tax burden effectively unless someone makes 66K or more. The top 10% pays 70% of the bill.

So all tax reduction bills tend to benefit the "rich" by definition.

You must be joking. Google 55mph.

The Emergency Highway Energy Conservation Act was a bill in the U.S. Congress that enacted the National Maximum Speed Law.[10] States had to agree to the limit if they desired to receive federal funding for highway repair. The uniform speed limit was signed into law by President Nixon on January 2, 1974, and became effective 60 days later,[11] by requiring the limit as a condition of each state receiving highway funds, a use of the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution.[12]

The term is "Spoliation of Evidence" and is criminal in many jurisdictions.

As a Republican, I 100% agree with the idea and want it to happen.

I also want codified in that same law that all citizens are able to video officers for any reason at any time if they can do so from pubic property or private property they are allowed to do so, and are not physically hampering what is going on.

Any attempt to keep the public from recording or interfering with that recording is de facto proof of violating the civil rights of the photographer and the person that the officers are engaging.

"They" is anyone who has the power to trigger the shutoff.

If that is the FBI, Homeland Security, Police, or even the Fire Department. Or Black Hat hackers, if it comes down to it.

Once it is in the hands of someone to use it to increase their power and control over others to achieve their goals, they will figure out a reason to use it.

Just as a sword incites someone to use it like a sword.

"The blade itself incites to acts of violence"

If you give someone a powerful tool, they will use it.

We report, we decide.

Editing or putting a PSA in front of it removes the neutrality of the "news coverage"

At least with the PSA, I know the filter applied, with a takedown it is unclear.

It's ok. I am used to it.

Even better:

Don't let someone you don't know mess with your drink. Don't drink around people you don't know because alcohol reduces your ability to make good decisions.

I had a boring late teens early 20's... what can I say?

you don't need the rape drugs.

I'm an Elliptical Pisces,

what's your sign?

It will not ruin an eyepiece to brush your skin against it.

Getting it repositioned takes a lot of time? Surely you jest. A light touch with a finger and I can track any star/planet/deepsky on the Dobson. With setting circles, so I can find any object in a matter of about 30 seconds. With a 13.1 primary, there is not much I can't see from my backyard with the right filters.

The moon? I don't even use an eyepiece, I just hold up a white piece of cardboard and do a primary focus projection on it. Makes it about the size of a paper plate.

Cost about the same as a MacAir laptop.

Ah... Now you see the logic of Empire.

Wow, that is so sad.

I can walk out tonight and see the rings with 10x50 binoculars or even the 300 zoom on the 35mm camera.

Put SkyEye on the tablet or the cell phone and it will lead you to the objects you want to see.

The Beehive is awesome in Summer, and Orion Nebula in Winter for easy objects to find.

The blade itself incites to deeds of violence.
