But banning digital tags wont change that.
What if they go slap a new paper tag on the shelf while you're doing that?
He's also a sleasebag who has been credibly accused of sexual assault by three women (and in general being a sex pest to many more). When a former friend (Jonny Robb) threatened to out him over it (it had been gnawing at him for a long time, and he was friends with some of the girls), Milton entrapped him (deliberately switching the topic to money, baiting him into asking for money to stay quiet, knowing that he was poor), then when he got Robb to ask for money, reported him into the police for extortion. Robb - his old friend - committed suicide after being released on bail.
Not defending Milton at all, but it bends the constraints of credulity to say that he "tricked' his former friend into asking for money. If he was being confronted by Robb for his sexual sins, how did he manipulate the conversation into convincing Robb to ask for money to keep quiet? Just because he was poor? That is severe mental gymnastics.

Stop trying to change what the founding fathers made
The founding fathers didn't want a king.
And we don't have one. Or a Hitler. No matter how badly some people scream so.
"This loot box model that Valve has developed—charging an individual for a chance to win something of value based on luck alone—is quintessential gambling, prohibited under New York's Constitution and Penal Law," the complaint says. In one of the games, the process even resembles a slot machine, according James. Since the prizes in the loot boxes are determined randomly in accordance with odds set by Valve, James alleges, that effectively makes Valve an online casino. "Valve, a video game developer, has made billions of dollars by letting children and adults illegally gamble for the chance to win valuable virtual prizes," James posted on social media. "These features are addictive and harmful. That's why I'm suing to stop Valve's unlawful conduct and protect New Yorkers."
Zenith, Motorola (Quasar), Admiral, RCA, GE televisions in the United States.
Don't forget Curtis Mathes. Remember when they had their own high end stores?
LG, maybe...
Probably not for long. You may as well buy that no-name TV made in Vietnam now, because name brands have ceased to mean anything in this space. Just about everyone followed RCA and GE and Philco, who all stopped making sets in the 80's, and made all their TV money licensing their names to cheap Asian third parties. There hasn't been a real RCA TV since 1986.
Oh the day has come when people look at vile, despicable anti-capitalist actions in cities and think "lets do the same thing in farmlands".
Zoning laws, not high taxes, are the reason people are fleeing California.
Uh, it's both, and crime too.
The lack of multifamily housing (condos and apartment buildings) is why housing got so expensive.
Housing got expensive because California become like New York City: A place where the young want to be because its "the center of it all", which creates luxury pricing conditions for everything, not just housing. As packed as LA and the Bay Area have become, you're only going to get more apartments by seizing single family homes by eminent domain and tearing them down. That's not America, and even in California, that'll get you a fucking riot. Go on, try it and see.
