Also go for the Supreme Court which those who went for Unitary Executive Theory should be impeached (yes impeach those Supreme Court judges).

You will (maybe) see some of them who are originalists it might be harder to be on flock with a license plates as they ride in on horses living out their originalist ideals.

Well that is because of lobbyists a.k.a. in the court system as amicus brief's filed by lobbyist, associations and think tanks that flock and or their buddy's are a part of. That is if they rule at all with a final ruling with much of an explanation, if any at all. The shadow docket has been going on for years and recently more rulings come out of the shadow docket than a final ruling. Another important definition is Wilhoit's Law:

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

Critical thinking. Look at the map spacing and terrain. At least they get credit for printing a paper copy. Also a word of suggestion for anyone else on treks like this. Ramp up, don't go for big adventures until more experience happens. Also ask around town kinda thing to see if you have to adjust or someone you know that has been there correspond or talk to them. Lions Bay Search and Rescue appears to be volunteer so that is another place to call a secondary number, if more than one or message them if (speaking in general this sentience for any where else not just this S&R org.) their website doesn't have a guide posted, they most likely would be glad to help beforehand then during a event like this.

Comment After a merger the math is like this (Score 1) 74

After companies merge your options go from two to one. So 1 + 1 = 1 after the merger. Doesn't make sense all that it somehow increases competition after a merger in the vast majority of cases - you can have CO-OP, mutual aid, shared or reciprocal agreement to word if a few ways - as separate companies or in this case of the media merger you could have interoperable between competitors (adversarial operability or COM COM as it is both ways said around EFF).

That is why you have in that neck of the woods the Citizens Party promoting cash for some stuff. At least you do not have it at the top of the chart for processing fees if I recall. The Power of Cash book is another source. Last I knew though you only have about four too big for their britches and some other banks, though some significant sized towns at the moment have none for people in branches and a few ATM's. The pol. party over there has a quick fix of postal banking, among other things.

by a reporter. Down-cycling rather than recycling. A U.S. based reporter thus this story makes sense as this summary says the U.S. doesn't recycle most of it. Plus they added if it is a clear bottle it yellows after a few cycles thus the change to colored bottles or in lots of cases it gets downcycled to park benches and the like.

Comment How long has it stagnated at 15GB? (Score 1) 99

With moores law you would think storage would go up like like they said when launching gmail but enshittification for profits probably was the plan, after all they had the money for a short email domain they bought from the Garfield brand so big money where there from the start from a huge (at the time) media company (then Viacom / then d.b.a. CBS) to another - interactive service(!) as the law calls it. How long has it stayed at 15GB? It used to go up from 1GB+.

EssilorLuxottica is the reason for multiple aspects on the optometrist and telehealth crap. They control the making the eyeglasses themself, own retail part of as well (or what is left of such as they appear to be steering you to telehealth), and they also used to have a retail competitor but they bankrupted them when they did not want to sell out because they also own the insurer. That dam company is both a monopsony and monopoly at the same time.

Looking back at old phone books that had which pre-fixes where from and to charts for which is local and the other toll it is funny to see that in some edge cases you could call from town A to C for free but from town C to A was not free. Same phone book as well if I recall looking back awhile ago so I think it was the same baby bell company in both areas.

Comment Price gouging and anti-trust (Score 1) 72

The issue is find the right to private action (your ability to sue personally) to enforce the laws. Arbitration is a thing and it is in basic condensed terms them picking their own private judge (The contract you have with the typical big bad companies usually has another line or so that there is limited discovery; that is they don't care about looking at all the facts) so the ability to enforce the price gouging has those two hurdles to name just two. Just look at gas prices in 2008 and the AG's in some states, they just said "the markets" or industry prices where that way and they found no wrongdoing for then looking into the price history it was charging you about double several months time-frame. Hopefully with anti-trust coming out of dormancy for the better part of 40 or so years there will be some enforcement but it has not happened at the federal level for a few years just over a year ago (just between 2021 and January 2024) but it still can and is to an extent happening at the state level and privately (citizen level).
