  • where does it realistically end

    Somewhere at the bottom of that slippery slope, I imagine.

    There’s always going to be a threshold where things that previously weren’t problems, become problems. Imagine trying to argue that DUI laws shouldn’t exist because when you have had one beer you’re fine, but once you’ve had 20 beers now the police have a problem with it. How many beers is too many? We don’t know since that’s different for everyone- but we all agree at some point, it’s too many.

    You yourself pointed this out: when such weapons weren’t easily available, they weren’t really a problem. Now that they are easily available, they’re a problem.


  • From a different article:

    But DirecTV claims it “will benefit US video consumers by creating a more robust competitive force in a video industry dominated by streaming services owned by large tech companies and programmers.”

    HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

    From another article:

    In a statement, DirecTV chief executive Bill Morrow said a merger between the two companies “will be better able to work with programmers to realize our vision for the future of TV, which is to aggregate, curate, and distribute content tailored to customers’ interests, and to be better positioned to realize operating efficiencies while creating value for customers through additional investment.”

    Corpo-speak 101: how to use a lot of words to say absolutely nothing.
