  • In the era of social media it's become common for someone's racism views posted on their personal social media to get forwarded to their professional relationships (employer, clients) leading to fallout, for example.

    This is an attempt at stifling that sort of thing. When this first started the people on the receiving end complained about 'freedom of speech'.

    They where told freedom of speech isn't freedom of consequences.

    This is Floridas attempt at getting rid of the consequences by silencing free speech, ironically.

  • If your policy change is going to harm the less fortunate then you should re-evaluate the policy.

    A land value tax just shifts those who can't afford it out of their homes and hands more land over to the wealthy.

    Land isn't the problem with housing. The problem is that developers have figured out it's more profitable to build fewer expensive properties than a large number of affordable ones. Not only do they have to do less work, but it keeps the market artificially low and so lets them charge more for what inventory they do have.

    So they do just that.

    And the residential development market has such a huge investment level to enter you won't see many willing to roll the dice on mass producing affordable housing.

    Show me a home builder who has plans which are less than 3k sqft these days. You won't find one.

  • A 16 year old can get emancipation from the court in Florida. Doing so would make it so parents or guardian would no longer have claim over any money earned.

    That's the one decent argument for this law; an emancipated 16 year old needs the ability to work a full time job to support themselves as no one else is legally required to do so.

  • Essentially just the first season. The show was massively retooled after that because the executives felt the jokes went over people's heads.

    Well, money wise that was probably a good plan. I can't see the show as it was in the first season running as long as the real show did or having the mass appeal it does.

  • The programs these churches run are typically filling in gaps in social programs that the government doesn't have the political mandate to enact.

    If these churches were taxed you'd see their charities diminished while the funding went to some pork belly spending project, or at the very least not related to what services the church is suddenly not providing.

    Not all government spending is a net positive.

  • Most tropical/subtropical areas will have a heat index in this range for the majority of the year thanks to humidity.

    I live in Florida and maybe for two months of the year I could cycle around without getting soaked, either by rain or humidity.

    I do cycle around for fun though.

  • Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent

    • Salvor Hardin

    I can't think of a better way to explain the difference between the books and the show then that quote.

    Can you imagine Salvor of the show ever saying that?

  • Further erode relations between Israel and other ME countries.

    Turn international political option against Israel.

    The only path to any kind of resolution in which Gaza gets sovereignty is if Israel is forced to the table by the international community.

    To do that, Hamas has to get Israel to kill as many Gaza citizens as they can
