Don't governments have enough money? I think they could do with a lot less actually.

Forced mask use is a human rights crime.

don't worry all the COVID related research is spot-on

Yeah yeah, I'll go ahead and keep doing things however I want, thank you!

Casual announcement of animal experimentation results. I wonder what cruelties are concealed within? Long-term imprisonment? Vivisection?

Who decides how many hours we're allowed to work, driving trucks, fixing jet engines, taking care of children, or doing anything else?

Our and our employer's liability for errors is enough motivation to maintain safety at a reasonable level.

Put another way, is there statistical evidence of the efficacy of these regulations in reducing trucking accidents? Not that I could find!

I have an idea. Remove government management of this industry.

Not sure why the people of America need to be spending tax money on sorting this out, or punishing this person. If Netflix wants to allow their business to be run this way, it's fine with me.

How about we skip the middle-man and reduce their budget instead? That's my preferred way of limiting government.

We're not ranking high enough on Google, better get the government involved!

Errors are silently suppressed, equivalent to

try {

} catch (err) { }

I look forward to a future where casual discussions of the consumption of the tormented flesh of conscious beings are not normal.

When it comes to government regulation: let private businesses do as they please, as long as we are free not to participate.

When it comes to what the government is allowed to do, the answer should always be, do less! Why is the government using mass surveillance? That isn't cool!

To clarify what private businesses are allowed to do, they must abide by all the rules individuals are commonly held to, such as don't be violent, don't steal or defraud others, don't despoil the environment.

The research is highly politicized, which is tip number one that it lacks merit.

Far right is a codeword for wrongthink. Is left-side misinformation a concept in the mind's of the authors? I wonder how they identify it.

straight terrible

this looks like bunk to me

In addition to this very obvious "out", there is also the fact that politicians today are unlikely to bear responsibility for outcomes that occur 10 or more years into the future.

Promises to do things in the future seem to be a mainstay of international climate discussions, from Kyoto to Paris and onward.

I find the criticism of this policy to be poignant.

What I find important to remember about minimum wage is that it constitutes a restriction on the freedom of workers to negotiate for their labor. The existence of a meaningful minimum wage implies that there are people in the society who desire to negotiate for lower compensation (because they are more motivated to get the job for whatever reason), but they are disallowed from doing so. It might be our opinion that it is undignified or exploitative to work for a certain wage, but we should not have the right to bar others from doing so if they wish.

As individuals, we should demand the freedom to negotiate the terms of our employment without government influence, including wages, benefits, and even working conditions. Using the government to coerce employers into giving greater compensation is appealing in the short term, but ultimately it disenfranchises others by blocking them out of jobs and results in long term economic stagnation.

Mandatory minimum wage significantly above the "natural" level dictated by prevailing economic conditions unquestionably causes harm, mostly to workers who, if they choose to continue to work for less money, are now doing so illegally. Mostly they just don't get work. This is why politicians tend to let minimum wages lapse behind the market rate - economies work better without this restriction. And when a significant minimum wage hike is imposed, like $15/hour in some places today, the economic harm to workers quickly becomes apparent.

How much taxes did Netflix employees and executives pay?

Just wanted to let you know the extension is back up on the Chrome Web Store. Thanks again for your help.

That's a cool project. Do you plan on having custom applications for a bunch of different websites? I can certainly see that becoming logistically complex. Speaking to my experience, since 2015 YouTube (er, sorry, YouTube™) went through one major style revision requiring a re-working of my app, and they have just gone through a minor one, which will require some tweaking.

Great lead! That could definitely be the problem.
