Huh. I thought these guys were all about States Rights.

Apparently that only extends to telling women what they can do with their own bodies?

More than that, the seatback display on every Delta flight gives you instructions for how to connect to their real WiFi. If you join some random SSID that doesn't follow the instructions literally in front of your face, you deserve what you bought.

Found the guy who hasn't done an interstate move in at least 20 years.

So you don't think the Attorney General of California would have the ability to talk to industry experts, economic experts, and legal experts about this?

The industry is based in California, and has a very rich ecosystem of analysts and experts around it.
There's a lot of economic expertise inside and outside of the state government - including countless professors of economics in the University of California system which has several fine schools (UCLA, UC Berkeley).

Yes I'm sure as a lawyer, he didn't actually look at the law before filing a lawsuit. And the court he filed it in, I'm sure didn't bother reading it before accepting it and setting a hearing schedule.

What the hell are you on about.

Lots of assumptions happening there.

This sounds a lot like a professional sports team owner demanding hundreds of millions in stadium renovations or they are taking the team elsewhere.

And municipalities everywhere are learning that it's usually an idle threat, because they can't move the team without league approval, and leagues aren't interested right now in upending media markets they serve.

Well, that would be when the municipal bond markets became a thing. And when tax-increment financing supporting urban renewal became a thing.

It might surprise you that it's easier to build shit if you can take out project financing to get the money up front to do the thing, rather than wait 20 years to replace a failing bridge because you have to save up.

Because that creates a whole bag of different problems that become OUR problem.

This is why governments write antitrust laws.

So in your world, nobody should ever boycott anything because that's "cutting off your nose to spite your face"

Voting with your wallet is the one bit of leverage that consumers hold over corporations, and you want us to give that up?

GFY.

False. Hawaii re-elected a Republican governor in 2006 to a second term.

They have not had a statewide-elected Republican since that election though.

Since when is Hawaii a red state?

When is the last time a Republican won statewide in Hawaii? Answer: 20 years ago in 2006.

Why are you lying in your response to lying?

So don't listen / watch if you have such a problem with the owners of that media reaching out to people that natively speak other languages.

By the way, that makes you a fucking bigot. Why is other people being targeted by media such a problem for you? Why do you think you are the intended audience for literally everything?

Your bothsides examines a false choice caused by reductio ad absurdum. Three bad faith arguments in one!

To wit: yes, both political parties feature lying politicians. However, one party has FAR MORE liars, that lie on a daily basis, about literally everything. It's also the party that is apparently fine with domestic violence and sexual abuse judging by the multiple credibly accused members of Congress that belong to that party, as well as the convicted fraud who is the party leader, with absolutely no call for them to fuck off.

Try not reducing the argument to ridiculous levels, because it makes you look ridiculous justifying ongoing bad behavior with "but they do bad things too!" - how about we try reducing bad behavior instead of justifying it?

Well, let's follow the bouncing ball a bit:

1. OEM producer of a phone will not set their margin below 30%.
2. Input components have gotten more expensive, raising the cost of good sold.

What happens to the price that a customer pays when multiplying by a percent? What does that do for revenue / profit? Oh, it goes up without you doing any additional work that you were already doing.

I can't imagine why things are so expensive, can you?

Moving their corporate HQ is only a tax dodge for the corporation. They will still have a significant presence in California, because that's where the fucking movie biz is, and that's where the Paramount lot is, and that's where the Warner Brothers lot is. They are not moving any of that, because then they would not have sound stages and all the supporting infrastructure for actually making films and TV shows.

It's all bullshit.

Anyone who is considering the replacement of tried-and-true safety-critical systems with AI is asking for criminal negligence charges at the very least when it fucks up.

Nobody with any sanity whatsoever would honestly suggest that at this point.
