>When you buy stock in a company, you have a claim on a portion of a (nominally) productive asset

If that's what it is, lets set rules that when you buy a stock, you have to hold it for at least a quarter. No daytrading or HFT, because that's got nothing to do with investing in production.

Gambling may be betting on a game of chance (e.g. roulette). It may be betting on a game of skill (e.g. sports betting). Is gambling also betting on a future outcome which is neither? How about the stock market?

Those are the best kind. Natural selection and all...

Light in the morning is just as usable as light in the evening. Get your lazy ass out of bed.

>I would be interesting in hearing from people who _want_ the twice-annual clock change.

I don't think that's it. It's whether we should stick to a single "time." The US tried year-round DST back in the '70's. It was quickly repealed. Because it's idiocy. For centuries (millenia?), noon was when the sun was highest. Business/working hours were made around that simple fact. In the 1800's, the railroads created "standard time", with timezones, which made scheduling vastly easier because they didn't have to figure out local time (noon) for every stop. Timezones were a compromise where "high noon" was somewhere in the middle, adjusting for political and geographic boundaries.

So, now it's those eastern elites who live on the eastern edge of a timezone wanting permanent DST. For them wall time is still only 1/2 hour off from true "high noon", just in the other direction. But they give no consideration for those on the western edge of a timezone, who are forced to live 1 1/2 hours from the real noon. Fuck them.

You're as big an idiot as the bill's sponsor, who said creating a permanent Daylight Saving would bring "more usable daylight hours throughout the year."

DST doesn't provide "extra daylight hours." It doesn't affect the number of day/night hours a single bit. Maybe if we outlawed winter?

>Employees have characterized the data tracking tool as "dystopian," according to messages viewed by CNBC, with some workers expressing fear that personal information could be leaked.

That "data tracking tool" is Facebook itself, which they themselves have built.

Are you really so ignorant of the US role in WW2, or are you just trolling?

Now let's look at what happened since then. Perhaps you'd prefer a NAZI world without bananas.

Stop giving them shit.

>But, he didn't even have backups.

From the summary:
>deleted the company's entire production database and backups

So you're right, and wrong. They had "backups" which weren't really backups because they apparently weren't kept offline and separately.

I somehow doubt your intellect even approaches that of a vegetable.

Fail. Wickard v Filburn (1942).

They probably used an AI to edit it.

Hell, in the US, growing a garden is "Interstate Commerce" and subject to federal law.
