As with most of the Republican "outrages of the day", this isn't new. In 2012 a Republican PAC called Americans for Limited Growth was doing the same thing:
‘Vote history audit’ shows whether your neighbors voted
As usual, now that Democrats are doing it too, it's the worst thing ever.
So if a cop ever demands you unlock your phone for them, be sure to give them the finger!

There certainly is an anti-trust issue here, but it's on the Hatchette side, not the Amazon side:
E-book price fixing settlements rolling out
In December, a judge approved settlements involving book publishers Hachette, HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster, Macmillan, and Penguin after a federal court ruled they conspired with Amazon rival Apple. In the lawsuit, the Justice Department claimed Apple conspired with book publishers to fix prices in order to thwart a discount initiative from Amazon.
Hatchette is now trying to reinstate the price-fixing it just got fined $69 million over via other avenues. And of course all the usual idiots are falling for the "Ooo, Amazon evil!" propaganda because Hatchette is the publisher for a lot of high power media personality who can go on TV and pretend this is all about "the little guy" rather than padding thier own pockets.

The use of speeding tickets for revenue necessarily depends on spotty enforcement. You need lot of people willing to risk a ticket because they think they're unlikely to get caught. The problem with speeding cameras then is that they catch everyone; if they want to increase revenue, they need to make the cameras so they only issue a ticket for every 20th car they catch speeding or something like that.
If you compare most active male to least active female, is the difference because of male v. female or because of most active v. least active? The comparison, as stated, is completely useless for drawing any conclusions.
During one week, the most metabolically active male burned an average of 3,450 calories per day, while the least metabolically active female expended 1,475 calories per day.
And this comparison is useful to point out because.... ?
They still recieved water without doing the test, just not as much. By your logic, if someon offers pizza to help them move, they're forcing me to help them.
If you RTFA, they are getting their consent:
Subjects initiated each trial by poking their nose into the center port of a three-port chamber. A narrow-band sound was presented for 100 ms indicating the location of reward.
If they didn't want to participate in the testing, they were free to do so by not sticking their noses in the start port.
Don't forget that time the gave it to Al Gore for doing a really awesome job on his Powerpoint slides.
You're confusing "Right to Work" with "At will emplyment". This is understandable since most states that are right to work are also at will employment states, but strictly speaking the two are distinct.
