> For that matter I’ve also never had anyone of any gender implore me to be careful when loading my children into a car, which statistically speaking is far more warranted.
This would be extremely surprising to me. Citation needed.
This is why I said, in my original comment, "and the property is large enough" (implying it doesn't interfere with others; or you have a permit, ...).
I'm sure you knew that though. What exactly is your point? Would you like me to rewrite my original post in fully specified legalese just so you can't nitpick? :P
The H1Bs I know that support Trump do so mostly because of economic reasons, and because of the immigration policies, like fixing H1B abuse, and making legal immigrants take priority over illegal ones (Democrats are perceived to do the opposite).
It doesn’t really matter how discrete or not they are if even if you know about it you can’t do much about it.
I’m also not convinced by a “don’t worry the camera is bad” argument; looking at drone footage online it seems to have plenty of resolution to distinguish people in one’s backyard, for example, and I’d expect those to only get better over time.
USA, which, contrary to popular belief, has lots of restrictions on the use (though not necessarily ownership) of guns. Try discharging a weapon anywhere near a major metropolitan area and let me know how it goes :)
Compared to SF, LA is a true big city, as close to New York as you can get on the west coast. In comparison SF is a petty small town, complete with the provincial backstabbing and all.
If the % required to service it was growing significantly, that'd be a problem. The debt outstanding growing, on its own, doesn't matter.
The government is not a human who better pay off their debt by 65 or they're screwed. The government'll keep receiving income "forever", in a pretty predictable way. So there is no reason to ever stop borrowing; it'd be leaving money on the table (utility of a dollar now > utility of a dollar later).
The title is not very useful; this quote gives some context: “It's the highest amount of borrowing in six years, and a big jump from the $519 billion the federal government borrowed last year.”
I agree, it won’t be enough, but it’s a great first step. Currently, given how difficult it is to find reliable data, one often can’t easily disprove even the most ridiculous of arguments (like the various groups in the Bay that believe, almost literally, that to solve rising costs people should stop building, rent control, BMR, and similar).
This is great, it is about time some scientific process was forced into a system that sadly has been largely driven by protests of idiots in large numbers so far.
Whether or not Apple/whatever was being shifty or not is a matter of opinion. The fact is, though, that nearly every other country already had a territorial tax system.
