If everything is a national emergency, nothing is.

I am appalled at how well “flood the zone” and “move fast and break things” works to destroy a nation. If sanity ever returns, the response to either action needs to be the death penalty. I don’t know how to properly write a law for that, but it is clear to me that any lesser response will only cause the bastard to back up, and try again.

What do the rules of professional conduct say about a client who repeatedly and aggressively ignores the law and the orders of the court?

Not being sarcastic here, I’m honestly curious. The lawyer can’t control the client, so what do?

We have no guidance or direction on what we need to do,

Wrong. You have plenty of guidance. It’s called “the law” and you went to school to learn how to understand it. If your people get instructions to violate the law, the instructions are invalid.

This is not complicated.

I think is milenials are still good. For a few more years. Also, we are the only generation that can save files, and know where they went.

But more youngsters would be nice.

President Miller, you mean?

Have you seen his competition?

If this was true, there would be no reason not to vote on it all together.

This happened under Biden. (Schumer then, too, I belive) Separated a bill, passed the parts the Republicans wanted, then the Republicans voted against the part the Democrat wanted.

Bend over, here it comes again.

I’m not sure I’d call that “unfortunate.” I’ve said for ages that if we can just get more people to vote, it will be good for the democrats. Work the rise of MAGA, I’ve included that if we can get them to think before they vote, that will be even better.

They are helping, yes, but windows 11 is a driving force like I’ve never seen.

Tampons weigh nothing

When you’re dealing with the tyranny of rocketry, every gram matters.

That said, I agree with your point. The mass and volume was well within acceptable mission parameters.

Do your iPhones usually take oil?

What do you think plastic is made from?

Packaging, no. But manufacturing it into something else, yes.

Do you think a tariff on copper would apply to an iPhone? Or a tariff on oil?

Congratulations on getting what you voted for.

That’s generally how tariffs work. A tariff on grain is not a tariff on bread. A tariff on steel is not a tariff on knives. A tariff on cotton is not a tariff on clothing.

It can be, of course. A tariff can be on steel and items made with steel. But that’s not usually the case, and it’s usually called out as such. Of course, Trump is not what you’d call the most precise communicator in the world, but all we can do is work with what he says.

Right, but this tariff, at least as I understand it, is on chips imported as chips, not on products that contain chips. An iPhone will, of course, be subject to some other damn fool tariff, but not this specific one.

Of course, my understanding of this specific tariff may be wrong.

What he means is, if I buy an iPhone built in China, this tariff won’t affect the price I pay.

But if I buy a phone built in America, with an imported processer, this tariff will make that phone more expensive.

Sure they can write laws making it illegal to claim the king of Thailand is a doddering old fool anywhere in the world. Good for them.

They have no legal right to enforce it on me, though. If I visit their country, of course, I will be subject to their laws. But they can’t apply it to me until then.

They can write whatever they like, but in practical terms, they can only enforce their laws inside their borders.

No European law applies outside Europe. That’s kind of the nature of laws.
