There is a lot of laws around what a contract can do. you cannot have a contract for murder for example. EULA are the lowest form as the other party doesn’t have a choice, particularly if the terms change after the sale. contact a lawyer for the current state, but last I checked they were not well tested, and gnerally considered breakable in court.

Red Lobster was already dead, they just hadn’t held the funeral yet.

Which is perfectly fine to do.

Irrelevant. If you have a business that owns property you should have two divisions for accounting reasons, one that runs the business and one that leases the property to the business. Both sides should be making money. This should just be an accounting trick but you need to watch it, if you can’t make money with either side alone that means you don’t have a good business.

There are good reasons to own your own real estate, and good reasons to lease. However either way you need to make the accounting numbers work.

If you have ate vegetables as most have had them they are gross.

You are a slave and should opt out of those things.

Your proble is you know what is and cannot imangine what could be.

Because someone needs to be enslaved to provide universial health care. If even one person wants to opt out, no matter how wrong their reason you if you allow don’t allow it they are enslaved. (note that there have been many different systems of slavery, but even the best still remones choice from someone). as such I prefer other options if they exist.

There are other options and so I oppose universial health care. Do not confuse that with approving of the system we have.

It is stupid not to. It doesn’t cost much and makes transit so much nicer.

In this case the rails are already there but unused.

That is also several strike against this. Those rails exist but they are all in really bad shape as they were nearly universally used without maintenance until it was no longer feasible. They are also generally in bad areas where there isn’t much need for more transport - we already have roads in good shape (to run a bus on). The only thing this has over a bus is you can run them fully automated - which isn’t enough IMO.

While you are not wrong, you should always strive to perfection. Running train transit 24x7x365 is low hanging fruit (modern fully automated trains exist - note that the topic here is trains not buses). You do need to do something about maintenance, so I’ll let you get by with 30 minute headways overnight, while during the day you should be running every 5 minutes.

I know it is true almost everywhere, but that doesn’t make it acceptable. People need to get places, transit is just a tool.

Your local bike store should have a nice selection. I use my EV bike all the time and the car I keep for those few trips where the bike doesn’t work just sits… You should too. Don’t forget to check out the local transit options (and if - as is likely - they are bad demand better)

That isn’t acceptable. One person who for whatever reason is out late (emergency at work, or invited to a party) will be screwed when they can’t get back home and tell everyone else.

I’ve wanted one for many years - but so far there is still no EV minivan for sale, and that is what my family needs right now.

I faint after (or sometimes while) giving blood. After a couple times they told me thanks for trying, but they don’t want to have to deal with that again so please don’t. I could probably do a half donation but they don’t take those. I used to donate plasma without problem but there is no location to do that near where I live.

as someone who cannot, thank you. I depend on people like you to make up for me,

Which is true only in the rare case you only have one office that everyone is in. As soom as you don’t have everyone in the same room teams is better. So once you have more than 50 people

While they have been around forever, courts tend to take kindly to the argument that you need to be able to earn a living doing what you are an expert in, and so unless very narrow they tend to be struck down. You need a good lawyer though to get far in court which often makes the fight not worth it.

The worst thing you can do is block people because of their leanings. That is how you get echo chambers. Of course many extremeists on both sides need to be blocked, just make sure you block them on your side too.

With a secret ballot there is no way to know who voted for who. when talking about your vote the ethical thing is to lie.
