A company has to (theoretically) follow the laws of any country in which is does business, for business done in that country, at least. If Youtube is showing ads to Canadian viewers, they are doing business in that country. Just because a company puts their HQ in Ireland for tax purposes, it does not mean they only have to obey Irish laws when dealing with American consumers.

It's oddly coincidental that I just finished reading that again a couple days ago. The goal was to create a single replacement part for a stranded alien's space ship, but I find both similarly amusing..

If you think Joe Biden is representative of the "extreme left", you have lost all perspective.

To the technologically illiterate, a router is probably the most high-tech thing in their house (as far as they know) and protects them from tha net hakkerzz.

You seem to overlook the idea that the physically-weak may offer something else to the species that makes them "fit". Evolutionary fitness is not always just brute strength.

Since I am not an expert I am not going to state any opinion on tax rate numbers, but there is more to that prosperity than just corporate tax rates. The damage done by WWII left the US in a great position to use the manufacturing infrastructure advantage we had built up for the war effort.

My kingdom for a mod point!

Not liking something that is happening in your own country does not mean you think other countries would automatically be better.

I believe one problem with this is that South Korea is somewhat dependent on the US, and if SK sidesteps US sanctions against NK it would adversely affect them much more than any gains from working with NK... economically, at least.

It's possible one phone could be in the DB multiple times for multiple crimes committed by one person.

"The left" is not one monolithic set of identical opinions. Neither is "the right".

You're assuming that the majority object to people coming in. That does not appear to be the case, though that is a reversal from just a few decades ago and it could switch back to being the majority opinion in the future.

In the first set of examples (and possibly religion), they are making choices based on that support that can affect the lives of other people. Skin color is not a choice and someone's race does not affect you in any real way. I don't know about sexuality, since I don't know what makes someone non-straight.
