Big corporations LOVE regulations and barriers to entry. It strengthens their dominance. The little guy competing doesn't have the legal resources to keep compliant with all these accumulating laws.

    Using what definition of irony?

    A situation is ironic if it defies expectation. Like how Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter, was killed by a stingray.

    Kirk being killed by a leftist extremist, who thought he was a fascist, using a gun, is pretty much in line with how you'd expect him to die.

    Maybe rift on him crossing state lines.

    Very true.

    Rittenhouse traveled all the way to some far off city he had no interest in. Sure, his father, grandmother, aunt, uncle, and cousin live there. Sure, he stayed with his friend who lived there. And he used to work as a lifeguard there. But otherwise, he only went there because he's racist. That's why he shot a couple white people.

    My personal feelings do not inform this argument. What I say is wrong or it isn't, regardless of my feelings about people or topics. I routinely argue against pro-choice arguments, for example, not because I'm pro-life, but because so many pro-choice arguments are bad. I actually support unfettered abortion and even limited legalized infanticide similar to Peter Singer, but that's quite irrelevant to arguments I make about abortion.

    I guess people in the military aren't willing to die for anything either. After all, they wear body armor and use weapons against their enemies.

    You can't be so stupid as to think a willingness to die is the same as trying to die.
