I live in a subdivision with relatively spacious yards, but the fireworks are illegal around here. In fact, they are illegal even in the smaller towns. The only place they aren't illegal is in unincorporated areas which can be found here and there, usually with several large fireworks stands on them. Unfortunately, it is also illegal to transport fireworks through town, so you can't take them from the unincorporated place you bought them to the unincorporated place you live in. Police can and sometimes do just watch people buy them from the booth and then pull them over as soon as they cross the line into town.
Some of the fireworks stands have huge fields behind them so you can light them off there, but they are not open at night, so you don't get the full effect, and they are definitely not open at night on July 4th.
Effectively, you just can't legally fire off fireworks here on the 4th of July night. You had to have done something illegal, unless you happen to live in the same unincorporated area as the fireworks stands. In general, nobody lives in the unincorporated areas around here. They are just trees and fireworks stands.

Well, since fireworks came from China in the first place, it's not like it is a big loss. Not like IT jobs, cars, electronics, etc.

It was an illegal act at the time. However, after lots of people died, the U.K. accepted and legitimized the independence of the United States.

Because insurance is not healthcare. All Obamacare did is require everybody to pay money to the insurance company. It didn't do anythign at all about healthcare. If anything, healthcare will suffer because now people who previously could at least afford to go to the doctor now have to pay for insurance instead and can't also afford to go to the doctor.

They have more lobbyists than Wal-Mart because Wal-Mart obeys the law. Uber is operating illegally and so they must use lobbyists to try to get the laws changed so that Uber will be legal.
They are trying to protect themselves from the government, but only because they started out being on the wrong side of the law. I don't see any social justice here.
Why refer to taxi companies as cartels? It wasn't their idea to institute medallions. It was the governments, due to overpopulation of taxis. The only thing that the taxi companies are trying to protect is that they had to pay cash up front and operate within the law in order to provide services, but Uber is getting away with operating illegally and not paying for the proper authority needed for them to operate.

Here is a helpful hint for google's algorithm to determine if the click was accidental:
If I clicked it, it was accidental.
If I did not click it, that was intentional.
The only time I ever click on an ad is when I got suckered in by a deceitful company trying to appear to be a legitimate news article. For example, I got suckered in by "New Law has Insurance Customers Fuming" headline...once. A company that has to fool people into clicking on it's links does not deserve to be in business and should have their IP blacklisted so that no one else will ever accidentally visit their site.

They don't want or need to outlaw Uber. Uber is already illegal. All the taxis want is for the competition to have obey the same laws, which legally they do. In practice, Uber chooses not to obey the law.

In other words, it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, waddles like a duck, quacks like a duck, and none seem to be around during duck season. Sure seems like what we have here is duck.

They won't, for the simple reason that this 100% likelihood has 0% chance of happening.

They are not taxing people who don't have healthcare. They are taxing people who don't have insurance. There is a difference. Making people pay for insurance does not guarantee healthcare. It guarantees that the insurance company gets paid. After paying for insurance, people may not be able to afford to go to the doctor.

Well, that explains why I am not getting any assistance with Healthcare. I keep seeing commercials touting how "Most people receive assistance with their premium", lies fed to us by the Federal government. When I lost my job, I was expecting that I might get some subsidy to help with my healthcare payments, but no, they healthcare portal said I do not qualify for anything, not even tax credit. I still have to pay my full healthcare premium, plus pay my taxes so that other people can enjoy not having to pay their premiums.

That's nothing, mine went from under $200 a month for a Major Medical Policy to over $950 for the same policy. I then got a new policy on the exchange, the cheapest one possible was about $350 a month, more than double my previous premium, and it doesn't cover my kids, and the deductibles are higher.

How is 3D printing a revolutionary approach to car manufacturing? It is not like they are actually going to use 3D printing to print the cars when they produce them in bulk. If they do, then it truly will be a supercar, because it will cost many times more than traditional manufacturing methods with less strength of materials and quality.

You can't compare having a natural desire to do or not do programming to a state of being rich or poor. The poor don't WANT to be poor. However, people who have no desire to do programming do not WANT to have a desire to do programming.

Nope, your freedom of speech is not dependent upon any particular means of expression. You can stand on the street corner and express your views, but nobody is required to buy you a megaphone, or internet access, or Reuters.
