Things like regulatory capture happen because big government is too big for anyone to pay attention to what they do unless you personally have a large financial stake in a particular action or government bureau. Who has a large financial stake in regulations? The guys being regulated. Given enough time and a big government, regulatory capture is inevitable.
I pay a gas tax for highways and a property tax for streets, a phone bill (that includes taxes) for phone service, and an electric bill (that includes taxes) for electric service. So why are they also taking ~40% of my paycheck?
Would like to try Plasma 5 on my Debian Jessy laptop... but sure don't want to hoze up the current Plasma 4 install....
BTRFS snapshot. Install. Try out. If you don't like it, copy BTRFS snapshot back to active.

Presidents (and federal officials) can browbeat states into changing state law pretty easily by threatening to revoke federal funds.
I hope your phone doesn't collect anything from THERE! Remind me never to borrow your phone!
Miami is fucked. NYC, unless they build some wall, is fucked.
Which of course explains why some of the same people who are spouting similar lines to what you just said are paying record prices for real estate in both cities.
I remember 100+ degree days in Connecticut in the late 80's and 90's. Now I am much further south in Pennsylvania and rarely recall such days. So yes it is hard for me to believe that this is the hottest of all.
(And yes, I understand weather is not climate, but I am pretty sure this post is insinuating weather is climate so STFU.)
