Republican thinking:

Conservative Issue = "State's rights!"
Liberal Issue = "Federal Oversight!"

A good example: A Conservative's dog keeps coming into your yard.
Conservative: "You can't make me build a fence on my land!"
Liberal builds a fence on their land.
Conservative: "It blocks my view! You have to tear it down!"

I think competition has little to do with it. I think it has more to do with the beef industry being given leeway so they can get into the lab grown beef business themselves.

And by "get into" I mean buying up an already established company so there's no research and development involved. Buy your competition before they're competition.

"To pervert boys (and girls, too) into being childless, fat, alphabet-crowd perverts, who will live meaningless, [empty], depressing lives."

You just described the President without ever using the word diaper. Good for you!

Because we all know...

Conservative issues are under local/state jurisdiction.
Democratic issues are under federal jurisdiction.

There's a guy on YouTube who told us about the visit he got from a Louis Vuitton rep. He's a leather smith who takes old handbags and makes them into wallets.

LV sent someone in person to try and make him cease and desist. He didn't.

The whole story is pretty interesting and to the point. High couture doesn't even want their scraps in the hands of peasants.

Especially this epic line...

Harlan Ellison was a creative consultant. And he did write classic science fiction.

Here is what I think is Hollywood's worst case scenario...

Pirates take a newly released movie and run it through an AI program to make a script.
Pirates post the script online.
User downloads script and makes subtle changes if they like.
User loads up an AI program which reads the script. AI asks questions in order to make an accurate rending.
AI even has the feature to change any of the actors in the film.
Start program before you go to bed.
Come home after work and movie is done. It's even paced to have the same runtime.
