Comment Cost of labor drives innovation (Score 1) 41

As long as the cost of labor goes up inovation and adoption of automation will also go up. They don't do much automation in China because labor is cheep and the idea that tariff are going to bring jobs back to America is idiotic on many levels. The fact that automation is cheeper than people is one of the reasons.

The Trump Amicus brief is mostly about letting him make the decision. The Biden administration has already made the decision with regard to TikTok and Trump does not want the law to be deemed unconstitutional because he wants the power. The party of the president is irrelevant the Democrats did not have to vote for the law that puts us in this situation. They care about government authority not party.

Comment Government control is the reason (Score 0, Troll) 101

The ban is because the US government can't get data from or manipulate content on the TikTok platform. They have full access to see, lock down or manipulate anything on Instagram, Facebook, X etc. We saw that with the Covid censoring and Biden laptop issues. TikTok does not let them have that level of access into the backend. That level of control is reserved for CCP. That should be a concern but really can't justify shutting down the entire system

The whole point of the NZBA was to attempt to deny banking services to any org, or person, that didn't sign on with the UN policies that are mostly driven buy fringe US environmentalists that briefly held favor with the authoritarian Democratic administration. Now that the authoritarian in power has switched to the Republicans the banks are making appropriate changes. Ultimately we need to remove the authority that's resident in these large govermentmt institutions like the UN, US and others. If you want to cut off billionaire debank the politicians.

Comment Weight based ticket pricing (Score 4, Insightful) 141

Just do the fat tax finally and move on already. The weight of the passenger and their shit is directly related to the cost of getting them there. Airlines need to stop dancing around this and just do it. Yea if you weigh 400 lb with a carry on you should pay just as much as the 120lb lady with 5 bags of outfits for the weekend.

Comment Congress could take action (Score 1) 408

I keep seeing claims this ruling gives the courts more power but that's not the case. It does limit the Executive branch from just making up rules because they are the "experts" but Congress could actually do something and make clear statutes. Limiting the Executive branch is a good thing, particular if we sendup with another Trump presidency.

This is exactly correct and probably what's behind the EU requirement for alternative App Stores. If you can install your app without an Apple cert your off the races and Apple can't pull your app when it's found to be spyware. It's a simular reason behind the TikTok ban, they can't get the data like they can from Facebook and others.
