This shouldn't have been modded troll.

The DNC threw a prior election by sabotaging the primary process to sabotage Sanders, who the majority of polls said could win, so they could run Clinton, who the majority of polls said would lose.

Then they threw the last election by campaigning with a Cheney (who was NEVER going to change ANY minds about ANYTHING) and refusing to change their minds about funding genocide so they could keep that sweet AIPAC money coming.

I believe that virtually all of the politicians who care about The People are Democrats, but I also believe virtually none of the Democrats care about The People. Dark? Cynical? Yeah. Unwarranted? I don't think so.

Even the ACA has profit for health insurance corporations written into it. They have literally no purpose but to try to kill us for profit, but their profit is in the fucking law. Someone please explain to me why I'm supposed to be thankful for a law that rewards those who want me dead, and drives up the cost of health care by tying insurance company profit to the cost of care. Thanks.

It's not necessary, it could have the same or similar performance using a module if it was near enough to the SOC. But it would cost more, so you could reasonably say it's necessary to hit a cost target. And it would be larger. But apple doesn't pass the cost savings on to the customer, so only one of those arguments is reasonably compelling from the customer's viewpoint.

It might be, depending on how they did it.

I am fully in favor of battery storage projects, IF they are done properly.

The Moss Landing battery storage facility shows that you can do serious harm by fucking it up with insufficient compartmentalization and use of used NCM batteries recovered from EVs. Their battery banks were built from such crap, with shitty old LG cells known to be trash no less, and packed into a building in such a way that they could easily set each other on fire.

In this generation I chose battery life over an unlockable bootloader. I got it, my cheap old phone still gets five days' battery life. But now Google is shoving stuff into the OS that I don't want, so I'm going to have to look at another phone.

As apple is doing the same thing, even if I didn't despise them already that would not be an option. I also want apps, so nothing else is an option. Guess my next phone has to have an unlockable bootloader so I can install an alternate Android.

so how is it that guns are perfectly legal while you are banning fireworks?

It's not legal to fire guns indiscriminately or in lots of specific areas, either.

So making fireworks legal - while putting some limits of the types of fireworks allowed

If they cut us off from fireworks, we make them.
