Good question. Seeing as how the government doesn't send apology letters to everyone whose data they "accidentally" hoovered up and potentially abused in any number of inventive and worrying ways, how are they to know what harm they may have suffered as a result?

Regardless, they've all been harmed statutorily as there was no probable cause for any warrant to issue for their data. The Constitution doesn't have a "no harm, no foul" clause.

I saw an interesting post a few years ago whose thesis was that Starbucks isn't a coffee company; it's a poorly-regulated bank, masquerading as a gift card company, which happens to own some coffee shops on the side. Someone broke down all of the company's public reports to demonstrate that the vast majority of their income derives from investing the money customers pre-load onto gift cards (whether they ever spend it, or not). The amount of cash that Starbucks holds "on deposit" through gift cards rivals the assets of some of the larger banks. I wish I could find the post again.

Good thing the guy who wants to eliminate the Constitution just admitted it on a public forum for all to see, so our Armed Forces know who the threat is.

From TFA:

Reps. Tom Emmer (MN), Warren Davidson (OH), Byron Donalds (FL), and Ted Budd (NC) from the Republican side of the aisle;

Reps. Josh Gottheimer (NJ), Jake Auchincloss (MA), Ritchie Torres (NY), and Darren Soto (FL) for the Democrats

Alright grandpa let's get you back to The Villages and set parental controls on your tv to block tucker carlson.

The right to abortion is a downstream right of bodily autonomy, granted by the constitution under the word "liberty". It's right there in the preamble, not even an amendment. You don't have to get deep into the document to find it.

You have a right, as a citizen, to do what you want with your body, so long as it doesn't violate the rights of another citizen. The unborn are not citizens. They're not even people, as they have no long term memory capability or ability of rational thought.

It's pretty clear. It's the same reason you can't be forced to donate a kidney even though you have two, even to save the life of the President.

I guess I'm just real confused as to why you think it's not covered by the constitution. Do you really believe the only rights granted by the constitution are those specifically named? Because, oh buddy, you'd have a real bad time if that were truly the case.

If it's not yet 3 years old, the proper way to say that is "year and year"

Honestly, and based on the merits of the product.

I know, I know. An alien concept.

The end result is that it raised the price of foreign goods beyond the point at which people buy it without second thought.

The intent of tariffs is to promote the purchase of domestic product by making foreign product more expensive. This is sometimes necessary to prevent a foreign government dumping product so cheap that the domestic companies shut down, then the foreign governments stop subsidizing the product because there's no longer competition.

Tariffs are a defensive tactic to protect domestic industry, and in that regard that's what they're being used for here. You just have to do some serious mental gymnastics to justify this defense because it's pretty shitty. Our domestic companies should pay their fair share of taxes in the nations they operate, as well as here in the US.

Whoever jacked the domain obviously wasn't a Slashdotter, or they'd have redirected it to pictures of Heidi Wall.

Ah fudge, I was looking at comment numbers. I'm an idiot who hasn't used /. in far too long. Carry on, apologies. More coffee is in my immediate future.

Your troll accounts have the UIDs a bit too close together. You should wait longer in between making troll accounts in the future so it's not so obvious.

That would be the state of Pennsylvania, comrade

Are you daft? We do have voter registration, and if you're not registered, you don't get to vote. Purging voter registration is one way the republicans are trying to suppress the ability to vote in low income and minority neighborhoods.

Poor thing, must have UID envy. Tell me, how does 7 digits feel?
