Nothing about Guantanamo bay is legal. Cuba has requested we leave and stopped taking payments for the "lease" of the land there. It being illegal means nothing if there's nobody that'll do anything about the US's c

They are less likely but that does not mean it hasn't happened. The first air strike on united states ground was the national guard striking miners at the behest of the company. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batt

Keep in mind I said "Elon's companies", not "Tesla" $4.9 Billion in subsidies as of 2015 across 3 companies https://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-hy-musk-subsidies-201... We can talk about Gm

Elon has received billions from the US government across his companies. It'd be a slap in the face to the entire US population for Tesla to have a 100% proprietary charging network when we helped get the company going.

When the defeat device was turned off during normal engine use its emissions went up by 40x the legal limit. VW's scandal was unprecedented in my opinion. The NOx emitted by those filthy cars are awful for anyone with respiratory issue

I worked for Fedex ground for a while and I can't blame Amazon for this decision. Fedex contracts their ground delivery out and the quality of service is greatly affected by that. Some areas are great and some are awful. My experience

That is true, there are stronger privacy protections in the EU in general. I don't consider the actions here morally justifiable, just legally. As far as it being the actual password, a false positive AND the fact he had been creepin

by WBrad 7y ago
Absolutely. If you feel you are creating a product that has a negative impact on the people you are serving you should do something about it. Unions can greatly benefit society should they choose to.

I believe the only way to combat this as users is to use agnostic tools. When a website, program or other service wants to force you to use a specific thing to access them just view in a web browser with ad/script blocking or choose to
