Representatives representing people from 19 states have signaled that they prefer âoeswitching time twice a yearâ over âoeall year standard timeâ as they are well aware they can already do the latter any time they want, while the former is at the mercy of a dysfunctional congress.

Even ignoring the temporary situation of insane wages due to one driver serving a few passengers, compared to a subway operator serving hundreds, rubber tires emit particulates, needs constant replacement especially for high accelerations and produces unnecessary waste. Even if the cars can coordinate themselves to reduce gap between cars at high speed, this arrangement is possible to match even a fraction of the flow of passengers a single-car subway can do. So, yes, no one can build a similar subway at this cost, but it is also not an ideal way to build a transport system for a city as busy as Las Vegas.

Arizona and Hawaii already opted themselves out of DST. This is something a state can choose to do now. Instead 19 states voted to all year DST, which is something they need approval from their non-function along congress to do. Tell me all you want how much the people hate changing their clocks twice a year. They donâ(TM)t. If they truly do, they would have done it by now, one state at a time.

Yes, crypto can mean both, for now, but it wonâ(TM)t take long for the new use to displace the old use. Millions who live in the Americas despise that the worldâ(TM)s most used language excludes them from being associated to the continent they live in. Worst yet, such term is now almost forbidden to even exist, because what other English word can you use to mean people who live in the Americans?

Communications 101 also says ask the right person for resources. If they need more budget, they ask Congress.

Assuming they reasonably believe that the court would decline the request anyway, why should they ask Congress for more budget? Instead they tell the court "No, and here is why."

What is the problem with granting a patent that obviously doesnâ(TM)t work? The person will be granted a monopoly on that process. Others will probably not care about that anyway. So unlike patents with prior arts or are obvious, these patents cause almost no harm to the society.

You can say "employer" and "employee" are perfect analogy too, because employees also "follow exactly what they're commanded by their employer". I claim both analogy are wrong.

A slave (database) server is not a property of the master (like a slave), cannot become free by paying off (like a slave), does not get paid (like an employee), cannot quit the job (like an employee). They definitely do not appoint or elect a new master after the master died.

Therefore, politics aside, "leader" and "follower" is a better analogy than "master" and "slave", because when a leader becomes unavailable, either a follower is manually promoted to a new master or the followers vote to elect a new master.
