They got immunity for things they published and pushed on people on the grounds that others said it, they were just the promoters and publishers.

We finally figured out how to sue them not for publishing, but for their massive and unethical attempts to push and promote what others said.

So now they ask for immunity.

No.

They are the problem. They are guilty. Note, they didn't HAVE to be the problem. They could have promoted things based on truth and value rather than how much attention they got by being outrageous and dishonest.

The small nuclear reactor people believe:

1) The major business problems with nuclear reactors are caused by the time it takes to get regulatory approval rather than actual safety, actual science, or even by complying with the actual safety regulations.

2) That if they make a nuclear reactor small enough, they can get a generic regulatory approval once and use it multiple times, all while satisfying the regulations and by being safe.

3) That it will be easier to ramp up, ramp down, fix problems, and dispose of after end of life of small nuclear reactors as opposed to large ones.

#1 is probably true. It is clear that nuclear power plants take a LOT of time to satisfy the regulators they are safe, but people can and do succeed in doing it.

#2 is up for debate. A lot of people think that the 'small' nuclear reactors they propose will still be large enough to take a lot of regulatory approval for the geographic locations and they will never get a generic approval to build model 1 and ship it everywhere.

#3 is also questionable. If you have even 4 active reactors, you can probably schedule the ramping up and ramping down on a continuous schedule for maintance. But the fixing of problems may take MORE time because they are shrinking it. And a lot of people think the size they are describing will not be easier to dispose of at end of life.

If they cannot get a generic regulatory approval for use in 'most' places, it may never be a good idea to build small nuclear reactors (except on vehicles like an aircraft carrier, submarines, rockets, etc).

You are either an AI bot, paid to lie or a totally clueless human being.. It is clearly a FIVE percent tax, not a FIFTY percent control.

And they specifically state that no one has to give up any control. You have been reading lies paid for by the billionaires rather than the actual wording of the bill.

You can learn about it here on the far right Fox news:

They are one of the plutocrats that pretend they are capitalists.

Their products come with anti-capitalist contracts that basically try to own the customer instead of having the customer own the product.

This is why their business is failing. As long as they think they can:

Access any contentâ"published or notâ"that users had created to train its new machine learning AI.

Use, reproduce, publicly display, distribute, modify, create derivative works based on, publicly perform, and translate users creations

Charge huge cancelation fees for subscriptions. ... without notifying them when they sign up ... without informing them they are signing up for a subscriptions.

I do.

No one WANTS a multiple time tax.

If you do it one time and never do it again then:

1) The billionaire flight from California will be small. Some (more) will leave, but not everyone will give up the gorgeous weather, views, and the huge number of pretty young things willing to move to California and do anything the billionaires want.

If you do it multiple times, the rich will flee like rats leaving a sinking ship.

Also note, a lot of people in California would LIKE some of the rich people to leave. It would bring down the real estate prices.

CA has about 125 billionaires (give or take a few), Texas has 73. (NY has about 123)

20 % of 125 = 25. If those 24 leave CA and all go to Texas, then:
CA: has 100 billionaires
Texas has 98

The problem was these idiots thought there was a difference between 'climate science' and the science of "meteorological conditions (including temperature, precipitation, and wind) and ocean conditions (including temperature, waves, evaporation)"

So they thought they could get rid of that evil climate science without pissing off everyone that is concerned about:

Tornadoes
Blizzards
Hail
Fishing
off shore oil
Rain Storms
Tsunamis

etc. etc.

Turns out everyone except them disagrees and knows climate science is real, not a hoax, and stopping studying it means stopping protection from the more immediate climate issues.

Basically, they are wrong about everything they believe and the US will not let them do stupid shit and force us to find out.

Wow, have we gotten tot he point where people are stupid enough to think a tax is socialism?

Or is it the proposed uses for the money? How DARE the government provide for it's people?

Socialism is the government controlling business, not charging taxes or providing services.

Get your head out of the plutocrat's ass and realize that capitalism is not defined as 'screw the poor, help the rich'.

You would not recognize capitalism if it came up and paid you a million bucks.

The main thing holding cell phones back was not the radio frequency allocation but the state of battery power. The first wireless phones were called 'car phones' because they needed a car to provide the power. Nobody wanted to carry a WW II style SCR-300 backpack radio.

For any "forever" contract, it is key to put in a penalty clause, along the lines of:

(License bought for $100)

Penalty Clause:
If in the event the company decides it no longer desires to honor this contract, it can buy itself out of the contract for $10,000, plus any legal fees and interest due upon termination of the contract.

If you do this, the company will:
a) Be hesitant to break the contract
b) Have a much harder time in court should they do so.

No we did not.

We waited until it was too late, had entered the US and spread.

Then we put in reasonable precautions. Most followed it, a few did not and called us stupid.

Covid death rate for those over 75 was 17% ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... )

Yes, the rate was only 2.3% for the over 50 and less than 1% for those under 50. 2.3% is scary high death rate, That would mean everyone would know someone that died. 17% is a horrifying number that justifies the cost.

Peru had over 6,600 deaths per million people.
The world on average had over 894 death/million.
The United States had 3,625 d/m It was over 100 million cases, more than 1 million American dead. The European Union countries had 2,831 d/m.

The US did not do ENOUGH to protect it's citizens. Europe did a better job. We were not the worst by far, but the US did not do insane stupid panick things.

There are two kinds of people:

People that care about someone over 50 or were over 50 themselves: Think the massive economic damage was well worth it to try and save those over 50. We wish we did MORE and quicker.

Sociopaths under the age of 50 that thought : We would rather be rich and have money than spend that money to save the people over 50.

Just because YOU don't care about that much death does not mean nobody else does. Not all people think the way you do. Some of us are 'weak willed liberals' that love our family. And we do not respect those that wish our family died.

Yes Covid was expensive. We did not spend enough.

Keeping aliens secret is political suicide. People do not trust the government already, you just declare yourself to be an untrustworthy liar - worse than Trump (who if we were keeping aliens secret would immediately tweet it out).

The claim is we do this to.... prevent panic?????

Mankind has never 'panicked'. Not the way this stupid conspiracy myth implies. We created nuclear weapons and there was no panic. We created and used nasty poison gas and nobody panicked.

You know what get people in the street and calling for the government to resign?
Slavery (Sparticus, Civil War, etc.)
Preventing women from Voting (multiple times in multiple countries)
Kicking black women off a bus because she took a seat
Treating civilians so badly they set themselves on fire (Jasmine Revolution)

While I am sure a few morons will panic on hearing aliens exist, but no one cares when a few MORE lunatics buy all the guns and dig a bunker.

My favorite example is when they faked a DNA result and show it a suspect to get a confession. Once they even submitted it to the judge. The defendant, being innocent asked for a trial and the Prosecutor had to ask for a certified copy which the technicians refused to do.

Note, there are similar cases in Japan (Saga Prefecture) and Colorado (CBI)

The people that proposed it thought of it as science.

What the government politicians plan on doing with it (and why they funded it) are an entirely different thing.

1) Science works.
2) Republicans hate government science, so they cut funding for it.
3) Democrats realize points 1 and 2 so they realize they have to get sneaky: Democrats take parts of the government the Republicans like and get THEM to fund science.

Which is why the Department of Energy is doing this rather than one of the several actual Science based agencies (for example: Federal Laboratory Consortium for Technology Transfer)

Note, we used to do this with the military all the time. The GOP refused to fund any computer technology, but they gave a crap ton of money to the Department for Defense. Which is why the internet was created by DARPA.

Man those republicans were easy to fool!

Oh no, we are not doing science, this is all about guns and bombs and shields. Yeah, this is not economic stuff, it is essential MILITARY defense.
