I think gaming is a lot more mainstream now than it was when TF2 came out, the only real difference being how much money can be made selling to a larger audience.
The late passengers should miss their plane. To go rummaging them up, trying to find them before the plane leaves, will only encourage the bad behavior of not getting to the gate area on time.
Not all delays are the fault of the passenger. My mother recently missed a connecting flight because she had to go through security between flights. It took about 2 hours causing her to just barely miss the flight. Had the airport been able to locate her they could have expedited her through the line, or held the craft knowing that she was on the way. It was no fault of her own, and the airport had all the information to know where she was most likely held up. They had to reschedule her on a flight 24 hours later. Which was then delayed another day due to weather. So, shitty airport logistics cost her 2 days.
My evolution was:
- Paid about $60/mo and we only watched 4 channels
- Started watching less TV couldn't justify the expense, downgraded to $40/mo package which lost 2 of the channels we liked
- Picked up Netflix for $8.99/mo
- Realized we watched Netflix 5x more than cable, so cancelled cable
- shake our heads when we think how more much we used to pay for so much less value

I'm pretty sure all necessary lobbyers had their chance to review and revise the regulations before their sock-puppet pushed them.
People want to look away from the road for minutes at a time and Tesla sells drivers that ability. This is adding more to their bottom line than the fact their cars are electric.
Bullshit. I want a Tesla and while AutoPilot is an interesting feature it doesn't register as a buying factor. Mainly I want a quality electric car and I want to reward one of the very few car companies that is driving electric car adoption. There are many reasons why people would want a Tesla.
I rather suspect that he has access to really good base information on the subject,
He has access to great information and even expert advice on many topics. Based on his behaviour, this doesn't actually seem to affect many of his decisions.
Also, he has at least some familiarity and ability with finance, unlike many other politicians.
Which is completely irrelevant since the only politician involved is Trump, who has a personal grudge against Amazon.
In any event, lets assume he's bumbling into a subject which we've identified as a problem for many years.
Traditional postal revenue has declined for years. Package delivery is probably one of the major things propping it up. If prices need to be adjusted, then adjust prices. People who work at USPS would probably be the best qualified to have an opinion about that. Meanwhile anyone with common sense can see Trump's voiced opinion is far more about his grudge against Amazon's CEO than a concern to fix the USPS. He's singling out Amazon because he wants to hurt their stock.
Children grow up going outdoors, socializing etc., in ways they find enjoyable and result in them doing the same thing through their adulthood.
If that were true, then they wouldn't need draconian rules to force them to live their lives in a specific way.
The goal should not be to predict or control climate, but to adapt to it as Nature does.
Yes, back when we had all that acid rain we really should have just learned to live with it and all the environmental damage it caused, rather than adapting our industry to curtail the pollution which caused it.
Seriously you're as bad as "the solution to pollution is dilution".
If all else fails, lower your standards.
