'As long as we mislead consumers and keep a system of cartel regions we will be profitable.' -CEOs everywhere. It's about time some states "nationalize" their utilities. I doubt the USA will ever do it on a national level.

I might just be a dumb American but I'm pretty sure most states have none of this.

Pee and blood both flow downhill. Not sure about assets.

But is there something cooler?

"Key questions remain unanswered, such as the definition of “operating system provider,” the type of verification required, the focus on major commercial platforms, and the potential scope beyond them."

I guarantee this bill is unenforceable. Cars, phones, traffic lights all have have computers with operating systems. All modern tech has an operating system of some sort. Also how do you even verify age? If my laptop is offline can I just not use it because it can't confirm my id? What about tech that never goes online but has an OS, like a calculator? I can't believe microsoft and apple are not lobbying against this. Who becomes liable if an "underage" person is accidentally given access or if access is denied to an "of age" person. I can just imagine an emt frantically looking for their driver's license so they can use the computerized defibrillator.

If I kick a man to near death do I get charged with assault with deadly weapon for wearing shoes?

The second amendment states "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution It gives the states the ability to have their own local military as well as private citizens the right to own weapons. Both of these were things the colonial power had outlawed prior to the revolution. The idea was to explicitly list things the previous tyrannical government had done to ensure the new government could not do the same thing. Now language and technology changes which leads to the current debate on gun rights in the USA.

The primary system in the USA is biased to who the first few states prefer. But if the Dems had had an actual primary last time maybe they would have found a different replacement for Biden.

Just use a LLM to maintain it. Duh.

Step 1. Start an oil war in the middle east.

Step 2....

Step 3. Profit!

All quiet on the western front. Tells the story of exactly this.
