I suspect this varies, not merely State to State, but potentially municipality to municipality within a State. The speed cameras around S2 are owned and operated by the government. Even government police may have such incentive. So much so there's even a nickname for it: "cash-register...

How many plausible possible explanations are there for this? - coincidence? - incompetence? - corruption? Trump could be removed from office either by bullet, or the 25th Amendment. VP Vance replaces him either way. Right? So if this has been in any way a palace coup d'état attempt, why...

aphorism: One bad apple spoils the barrel.

I'm not sure if that requires a special polymer. Have you tried sandwich wrap? The Brits call it "cling film". I hope it's challenged in the courts. BUT ! Stare Decisis. I suspect, when it is, efforts will be made to find a sympathetic circuit. Please pardon me for turning lab coat on you...

Nobody likes "bean counters". It's not that you're wrong. But a finite budget requires prioritization, "cost containment". That's not an endorsement. It's an explanation.

Supply & demand. Would "they" pay over $100 billion a year for placebo? And not know? Patient outcomes would sound that alarm. Has it? R5, There are smart people at this including "doctors". There's more than one kind. This group includes the "take off your pants" kind. The parity check, the...

Single payer?

We may share the lament about this tragedy. I suspect from there we may diverge. Not clear to me what conclusion you draw from this. Marge Inovera My position on this is deeply rooted in utilitarianism, greatest good for the greatest number. I gather the scientific consensus on continents...

Excellent point. Important distinction. Thank you R5. Your #2,710 is clearer than my #2,707. (y) R5 added: I haven't figured out a practical way to implement cafeteria taxation. That would enable pacifists to not pay tax that funds the Pentagon, etc. I suspect the nearest we'll ever get to...

Trump made the identical blunder regarding Obamacare. Trump tried to destroy it, and after over-promising ignorantly / lavishly: Trump ended up confessing: Mr. President, Your ignorance is invincible.

Even keystone State politicians aren't stupid enough to wade into a controversy without any reason. I can't offer a comprehensive list of their reasons. But it doesn't take a rocket plumber to figure there was political pressure to address the issue. Seems to me you're leaning heavily on the...

Reminds me of the Popeye cartoon character: "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today!" If we pay up in this life, they'll take care of us in the next. That's why they all ways give a $receipt for contributions to the collection plate. "God" is portrayed as omniscient...

"Theft of service"? The mafia earned a reputation for operating what is called a "protection racket". The mafioso struts into the local store, explains to the shopkeeper it's a dangerous neighborhood, people's legs get broken, their stores burn down, BUT ! For $500 per month we'll keep an eye...

I do not know. In general I suspect in such contests, law judges tend to rule in favor of landlords, for a variety of (in many cases lame) reasons. Bitter experience has taught me to document as much of my personal business as I can. Because of that I had to tell the law judge in my own...
