Texas already owns all its oil, including ocean mineral rights. This was part of the terms of statehood.
They were allowed to keep their unallocated lands and mineral rights in order to pay off their debts and become a state, rather than the United States assuming the debt.
This turned out to be a huge financial boon for the state and continues to be.
I don't understand how people don't see this for what it is. It's a political response to drag queen story time and spicy books at the school library.
Who knows where it will end, I'd prefer it if everyone stopped using children to further their agenda.
The states probably need to opt in for state income tax filing or data. Red states typically don't have income taxes and wouldn't need this to begin with.
They're just bad at rotating stock 🤣
I think it's more likely that someone is trying to keep competitors from mining it for a short term advantage
I feel like this article took a quick turn from "Bing went down" to "Google bad".
I am glad more people realize who's actually behind DDG and such.
You can also just install or create a third party app to do the same thing.
"It's not like you can decide to not be incarcerated"
You can though..
Your premium is 116 EUR per month, plus the taxes people pay -- which are much higher in those countries.
You have also traded your freedom.
The UK is currently talking about banning tobacco entirely in the name of reducing health costs despite it being a part of many cultures ceremonies and traditions. New York is still trying to control soda sizes in the name of public health. Canada now offers suicide as an option for people who would have a long (and costly) treatment with low probability of improving health.
Pretty soon you're setting a death age because old people use most of the healthcare. They make a Star Trek TNG episode about this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half_a_Life_(Star_Trek:_The_Next_Generation)
The responsible car makers showing drivers performing stunts well beyond the ability or legality of most drivers?
You've got some kind of chip on your shoulder man. It's a car company, who cares.
There are some real Elon haters out there. I think they're ugly as sin but I'm happy to see more people driving vehicles with all the crazy safety features, even if they aren't perfect.
You're in control of a massive vehicle capable of killing people and destroying property, you're responsible for it.
It sounds like crap in the theater too. when it came out there were stories about people going crazy trying to adjust sound systems.
He did it in Oppenheimer too. It's not as bad, but it's still awful.
Most jobs include a 30-60 minute paid lunch break, making 9-5 completely plausible.
Yeah, it turns out that politicians in both parties are garbage people pandering to the masses.
Instead of voting along party lines people need to vote for real people that can act like adults and actually govern. Most of our government officials are now too busy passing meaningless resolutions, performing the same study that's popular in all the other cities, or busy on social media pandering to vocal minorities.
It's one thing to make a tool accomplish a task.
It's another thing to beat the engineers until grandma can operate the tool.
I didn't like the guy either, and found it funny that his own bullshit killed him in the end, but he did add "value".
Do you really think the concerns about encampments are all from rent seeking landlords?
Here in Minneapolis it's the number of murders, gang violence (territory), rape, and human trafficking.
Second tier issues are overdoses, fires, sanitation (which doesn't sound like much until you see the people with fingers and toes rotting off), and crime rates increasing as they try to make enough money to feed their drug habits.
It's a very complex issue. Much more complex than "the landlords are upset people aren't paying rent".
Heroin has a pretty high user satisfaction rating too. You can't use customer satisfaction as a metric for legality.
His point wasn't to find a CPU, it was to make a political post in a tech community.
