You can get replacement batteries on ebay. They're straightforward to replace. But you apparently won't have networking on it after Dec.

If your lawn does not stay green then your HOA will fine you by the day, and they don't care if the state officials are asking people to conserve.

Is he serious? I mean, this is how police states work. No one is below their notice when it comes to cracking down on criticizing the regime. That's kinda the base model on how it works in the first place.

If the dam would fall over from not enough water holding it up, it would have fallen over when first constructed and before the lake filled the first time.

Except the term "bitcoin" has already turned into a generic trademark (see "kleenex") as meaning digital coins. Notice it was not capitalized in the quote in the summary:

And yes, the various other bitcoins are certainly using high end graphics cards even if Bitcoin is long since on to ASICs. So there is no longer any need to rush to point out Bitcoin miners aren't buying video cards. Track the punctuation and that will make sense.

Sorry, no, the ultimate in DOS days was Leading Edge Word Processor (LEWP).

Yeah no kidding; my tenants got their checks and didn't pay a penny of it in rent. They did use them for a down payment on a new car though. Then they left the lease early and had the nerve to try to demand their deposit money back despite not paying almost 4 months' of rent and blaming it on covid. Funny how the mortgage lender still wanted their payments regularly.

Taxes affect every company, whether they're large enough to have a subsidiary in Luxembourg or not. By having corporate income tax instead of sales tax the companies that are big enough figure out ways to pay as little tax as possible. So, I guess it comes down to what intention you have in collecting taxes. Do you want to punish and/or fine corporations and their shareholders for being successful or do you want to raise revenue for government services? If you want to punish companies then sorry to tell you this but their accountants are smarter than the politicians making the tax laws. If your goal is to raise revenue for government services then a sales tax is the way to go. No company gives a hoot at all collecting and passing on a sales tax that is itemized on each receipt. Their accountant(s) just do it as one more task on a long list of other stuff they do anyway. The very, very few individuals who cheat sales tax by pretending to be resellers or charities when they aren't is a very small drop compared to the amount of tax that's not collected because corporate income tax has ways around being collected.

Expenses get passed to customers in the form of prices. If you want customers to pay more, raise the corporate income tax collection. Or be honest about it and replace income taxes with use (sales) taxes.

Um, the lowest point in Switzerland is still 200M above sea level, so, no, it's not melting that much or the Empire State Building would be halfway underwater already.

Nothing. Is technology and / or the companies that make it responsible for people going out of their way to get in dangerous situations? Maybe all the cell phone makers should be responsible for all the people who die while trying to get amazing selfies?

In that Atlantic article you quoted, the term "trickle down" is always in quotes to show it is an ersatz term while supply side never is because it is a proper term. Heck, all the comments above even make sure to use quote marks. Everyone on both side of supply side versus demand side apparently recognizes that its just a politicking demogoguery term. Since the first known use is that it was coined by a comedian during the great depression, its amazing anyone thinks it is a term in actual economic theory.

Let me fix that for you: Democrats demagogued supply side economics as "trickle-down" as a way of stirring up class envy during all of Reagan's term.

There are two opposite approaches to government stimulating an economy: demand side and supply side. In recent years there have been various stimulus and relief checks mailed out to the taxpayers and these are examples of demand side. There are also various stimulus and relief checks and/or tax rebates given to businesses which are examples of supply side.

Please only use the term "trickle down" when trying to drum up votes for stimulus checks sent to individuals and votes against stimulus for business, thanks, since it it is only a politicking term and not an economic term.

That's an exercise in game theory aka the prisoners' dilemma. In other words, it won't happen.

But it doesn't mention if the legislators took into account how much traffic was domestic vs connecting. If there aren't enough passengers headed to the smaller cities then the flights will just be completely cancelled, making it de facto affecting connecting flights.
