Woofer posted:So the party of states’ rights wants scotus to legislate state law? Cases decided as a matter of state law generally are not supposed to be reviewable by SCOTUS, unless certain aspects of those laws are based off of federal law or the federal constitution. It's one of those legal policies that allows them(SCOTUS) to pass when they want to and take the case up when they say they have to. I get the feeling they are gonna pass on this one.

Isn't there a bike thread for you to continue this conversation with people who are interested in what you are writing? Why force the issue here? Are you under the impression that this is effective advocacy? If so allow me to help by clarifying that it is not What we all need to really be talking about are preventable deaths related to OTC medications. Any attempt to minimize or deflect from these discussions will be met with zealous accusations of complicity and "being too lazy to care"

Flying_Crab posted:that's kind of like the people who said they voted Trump because BLM protests inconvenienced them. Truly this nation has two original sins - the enslavement and subsequent apartheid cruelty to Black Americans, and our historic mistreatment of cyclists. Lol at making the CE events your soapbox for city planning. Why not, I dunno, a city council meeting? Maybe do something actually in your community if these issues effect you so directly?

facialimpediment posted:Facebook just had a very bad day. The timing of these cases is going to convince all those people that they were right though. Granted they exist in a separate tangential universe to this one so whatever. StandardVC10 posted:...wait, we still have antitrust laws? The chicago school of economic thought basically neutered much of our anti-trust statutes when they became judicial precedent. Information technology companies are very well positioned to take advantage of how anti-trust evaluations are conducted (because many provide free services or create "platforms" within which other services compete) and as such have evaded serious regulation outside a few high profile cases over the past 40 years or so.

Seems like these hypotheticals won't really be relevant to any of our lives, since nearly every american city were planned with car commuters in mind . Even the development of significant future public transportation systems likely won't impact the existing fleet of vehicles and their role in the economy. I don't really think that self driving cars are "just around the corner" as many people have suggested, but they would also create a pretty sticky widget for designing cities that are less drivable than the status quo

I'm not sure that the divide between "new" and "old" money is as definite or relevant as it used to be. The rich are quickly realizing that they won't pay much if they throw their cash around and get directly involved in politics, because the voting public are dumb as hell.

Most people can't afford legal services that aren't attached to a major transfer in wealth. Suggesting that your interpretation of the text is a final determination is as disingenuous as the idea that disney can do whatever they want. With all the media reporting on it, the streaming content of the covid bill will definitely have a chilling effect on streamers, which may ultimately be its value to copyright holders

I'm certainly not an expert on copyright stuff.

Hot Karl Marx posted:This is probably also Dominion's last chance to make any money after this cause their reputation is going to be ruined no matter what happens. They need to change names or dissolve or whatever after this cause no one is going to be using them again after this Those issues and their related expenses will undoubtedly be included in the assessment of damages that Dominion has faced as a result of this disinformation campaign, along with resulting costs for security needs and potentially even lobbying efforts / rebranding expenses. It'll be interesting to see what exactly they allege as the resulting damage from these conspiracy allegations. Considering how many states use their machines it's probably going to be pretty hefty

mlmp08 posted:Extremely cursed take: giving stimulus money to those who are still employed might help them afford the legal work to evict their tenant(s) Depending on how their rental operations are structured, many landlords already had access to bundles through the PPP, potentially. Evicting a tenant is typically a discount affair as is - in many jurisdictions you'll have the same pissant baby attorney filing and managing dozens of cases a day because people.facing eviction can't afford representation and don't know what their rights are or the procedural requirements for the eviction process. Anecdotal but a friend of mine who worked for a housing clinic managed to stave of an eviction for over a year due to procedural issues with the case. It's absolutely an area where people desperately need legal representation because of how specific the laws are to different jurisdictions. Boulder just passed an ordinance granting indigent representation to residents facing eviction. Hopefully it catches on elsewhere, fast.

Given the state of American political discourse, trying to distill a "political motive" that's distinct from mental illness seems pointless. The whole of Qanon appears to a lay observer to be some kind of politically induced psychosis. There are also dozens of other examples where politicians (primarily conservative politicians) tap into some pretty "insane" theories to attract wingnuts to their platform.

Kazinsal posted:poo poo, even the Bell System breakup didn't work out quite right in the long run. Four of the seven Regional Bell Operating Companies that came out of that and the non-local exchange carrier AT&T corporate assets (Western Electric, Bell Labs, etc.) are, as of right now, one company called AT&T again. Lumen/CenturyLink owns the remnants of US West, and Verizon is the result of NYNEX being folded into Bell Atlantic and then them buying GTE (one of AT&Ts only major competitors during the Bell System era). Antitrust laws can prevent company mergers and acquisitions, If said merger would result in certain Undesirable market conditions. These kind of cases are where some very creative framing and analysis are used by big companies to claim that they don't actually compete in "x" market against whichever company they want to acquire, but actually compete in "y" marketplace against some other major players. This is how Apple, Amazon, facebook, and microsoft can all claim to "compete" against one another, even though they all essentially have monopolies in a specific sector of the tech economy ( or more than one) The state of antitrust regulation is essentially the result of regulatory insiders and big tech money tag teaming the government in court.

Midjack posted:Wait a couple more decades for anyone who still remembers Ma Bell to leave government and they'll absolutely try it. Telecom companies already behave monopolistically with price fixing and agreements not to compete in certain regions. It's not illegal if it's just "how you do business" as opposed opposed to a conscious conspiracy to behave like a monopoly. Twombly v. Bell atlantic is a famous case in Federal civil procedure https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_Atlantic_Corp._v._Twombly
