What's the actual reason to take McD's to court over this?

Lawyer likes money, wants more of it. Most humans are similar, but one profession can file a claim in court for a bunch of folks who aren't even paying them and sometimes earn money from it.

Maybe he believes it will take a change in the state law to allow, but he'll surely get some notice by those who have issues along civil rights lines. As red state privacy bills are crafted by paranoid right wingers I'd wouldn't discount that it'd take a change in law to allow.

Typed by thumbs, without spell check engaged, completely unedited. Impressive on some levels, I'd argue that it's loosely readable, has paragraph structure and not as unreasonable typically seen with such little care for grammar and spelling. Almost like fan art for 'The Expanse' as a language pushed out from decades of isolation.

Retirement is a personal version of Universal Basic Income you spend a lifetime building for yourself; then if enough it becomes 'generational wealth'. The math for a real UBI works, in part because we can just collapse most social programs into it and even remove some regulation around minimum pay. Also because it creates dignified workers, who can take the time to raise families and/or build skills.

The thing that right wingers never get is the only place where it really matter that you 'own property or investments' is in that courthouse you all despise.

Perhaps she is a liar and a cheat? Or shares a name with someone who is? Search will always be gamed and sad stories have better backstories than the arrest record. These 'reputation sites' sell the information about you. It's almost natural for them to advertise their services by claiming salacious details in search results. I'm not sure how Google eliminates them, so far it's a 'cat and mouse game', sadly they can profit from the mice, until the infestation scares off searchers.

I'm guessing that the guy in the rear was the driver thrown there in the crash, as the rate of speed seems unlikely for the turn. Maybe he climbed back there when it happened, hoping to blame it on the autopilot, but not quite realizing how bad it was already. Maybe space aliens. Maybe we'll know for real, but I doubt it, seems like one of those things that just stay weird.

The electric grid is a market with now with many suppliers, they need a way to encourage suppliers to temporarily store electricity to sell later that day (night). I see it as a stabilization force on the grid, with people unwilling or unable to vary power will 'peak out' with the grid floating about 95% for a transformer/circuit. In some places it will seem like an upgrade.

We have a major, often ruling, political party which has decided to call into question, when it suits their campaigns, the conclusions of good peer reviewed science with nothing but innuendo. Plenty of people who know it's bullshit still vote for them because they see it as their identify.

Newt Gingrich convinced me that voting for any Republican was an irresponsible activity, Trump has shown it to be an irredeemable act of evil.

Yes we know, the GOP hope is that the mixed race VP will help you drive up out the racists who fear 'being replaced'. The idea that the former AG of California is some sort of black radial who will gain power and then enslave white people might seem like a stretch, but Republicans these days have a limited grasp on reality.
