Is that so that when the H1-B loses his job and gets sent back to India, he has to sell his sister to pay back the fee borrowed from BigH1Bcorp?

The problem in California is that private lawyers realized they could sue almost anybody for failure to warn about carcinogen risk. The result was that everybody (both private individuals, companies, and government facilities) stuck a warning on virtually anything. The initial intention of the law was good but very badly worded.

If this were remotely true then wind turbines would be getting smaller each year.

Not sure what you are getting at, but the landing strip does not have to be right at the base of the windmill. Trucks will still be used to move the blades from where the airplane lands to there. The distance is a lot shorter however.

I'm not very clear why helicopters can't be used though.

You seem incapable of reading comments before writing your fantasy about what they say.

Actually you better have a stealth airplane. And everybody on board better turn off their phones.

Someone pointed out some differences in Idiocracy: a primary plot point was that the President actively recruited a cabinet member for intelligence, without knowing what that cabinet member would recommend, and willingly followed the possibly unexpected advice provided by that cabinet member, and actively and accurately observed and judged results both when the cabinet member made a correct and when they made an incorrect decision.

It is considerably safer to treat stop signs as yield signs for (human-powered) bicycles. By far the most dangerous thing at intersections is being hit by cross traffic while they are moving at the low speed that they have to from a stop. Some states have decided to rewrite the laws for yield-on-red.

Some e-bikes certainly have enough acceleration that this is not a problem. IMHO these should be subject to motorcycle regulations and this also means they must travel in the car lanes.

Robotaxis are NOT going to be privately-owned vehicles. They will be owned in huge fleets for at least two reasons: 1. Destruction of a robotaxi is not devastating to the owner of a fleet. 2. You don't have to come up with some elaborate system to "equitably distribute" the rides so all the cars get equal shares of income.

I have no idea why Musk even suggests this will work. It is not going to happen.

What Canadian and EU companies are outsourcing IT support to the USA????

Count is 1 right now, the one you responded to. Your paranoia is showing.

That's the rule in France too

WHOOSH!!!!

I believe the gp was trying to be sarcastic.
