  • It's interesting that gun rights were sold on the basis of "resisting unlawful government." They seen to have caused and supported unlawful government.

  • At some point people confused peaceful with harmless. Harmless people who got accustomed to the idea of outsourcing the capacity for violence... but then the vendor had a change in ownership...

  • That's kind of been the whole thing about the anti-2a people: they've kept saying "the people"in "the militia" are the cops and states (as opposed to the federal government), and the law-and-order conservatives aren't saying no to militarizing law enforcement, and the pro-gun right for decades (60s-90s) played along with all the "2a is for hunting" nonsense. The point of 2A is for the government to be afraid to do this crap, but 2A is too watered down at this point to have that effect. The kind of population that could live armed as well as any military (not ours) would just have a different behavior in general.

    Because it's a huge chunk of the labs revenue, and there are other labs the companies would want to work with. Then the automakers who make up the rest of the labs business are now potentially liable for kids fitting without a car seat, instead of being able to transfer that liability to the car seat makers. What is the moral thing to do and what are you incentivized to do are very often opposite.

    It just causes far less headaches for automakers to keep the existing laws mandating child safety seats, so the liability can be transferred to other companies that now have a reason to exist, and you have a way of feeling better by spending $500 on the fancy seat instead of 100 bucks on a cheap one that works just as well.

  • If the parent had line of sight on the baby, would they have forgotten about him?

    Serious question: with today's cars and car seats, radically different survivability in crashes compared to when car seat laws were passed, would more children die from accidents with front facing seats or no car seats at all? I've heard about crash tests done in secret showing the answer is there is no measurable difference with modern bucket seats.

  • Talking about a politician who insider-trades her way to tens of millions in gains each year.

    The real fix here is to ban speculative trading on anything with either industrial or everyday use (like metals and real estate).

  • Taliban edict to resume stoning women to death met with horror

    Jump

  • Don't blame the president: WE decided to go in and kill a ton of Taliban, WE decided to spend actual trillions standing up and equipping an army that did not give enough of a fuck about anything but grifting. The ANA did not even try to slow down the Taliban when the US stopped acting as a backstop. Afghanistan never really thought of itself as a cohesive nation, we were never going to change their psyche.

    I'd rather blame Bush and Obama for sinking trillions into helping their friends get rich at the cost of everyone pretending we were building a real country.

  • You know where this is going, can't trust the vote of a misinformed voter, so... No vote until the government figures out what information you need for deciding on further changes to government.

  • It's Oregon, with a population of a whopping 4 million across the entire state, so you know what, maybe actually cheaper to cut the state off than to establish DIY supply chain for repairs parts that will undercut your whole product portfolio.

  • Unprecedented' levels of 'near famine-like conditions' in Gaza — UN

  • The UN is toothless, don't expect anything from the UN. General rule is people don't move to change their leadership (Hamas in this case) until they're literally starving and that's what Israel is hoping happens in Gaza so they don't need to set up and run their own puppet government long-term.
