There is no real need for the kind of permanence you think you need.

Imagine if a building could only be a bar, for perpetuity, and nobody opened any other bars, because that first bar existed.

Bars would suck for like… 99.99999% of the human population, huh?

So…

Start alternatives, on a host ypu maintain, and then everything can be ran perfectly how you want it to run

Problem solved.

Or… the ones after him didn’t bother to finish the job, because they wanted it to fail.

It’s not like FDR was elected right before Reagan or something here.

He ran on something quite different… Remember, he was running a campaign long before 2013… Like… 2007.

NYS pays more in federal taxes than we get in Federal dollars.

I think we’ll be ok.

The FCC has authority to punish whomever is the enemy of Reich Wingers, and Trump more specifically. Nothing more, nothing less.

Can the FCC punish a social media company for censoring the approved ideology? Yes. Can the FCC punish a social media company for not censoring the approved ideology? Yes. Can telcos be punished by the FCC for the same two things above? Yes.

It’s all about punishing the enemy, not logical consistency.

Bottom line: precedent, rulings, laws, etc have no bearing on the courts.

What matters to the courts is paying back for the favor of appointment. Which means they will rule whatever our oligarchs tell them to rule.

It was happening before the ACA as well.

So, the problem was never fixed.

It got us the privilege of HAVING to pay insurance companies, who make up reasons to deny, delay, and depose.

And if the individual can’t afford it, we funnel tax dollars to those same corporations, who make up reasons to deny, delay, and depose.

Its a cash grab for the insurance industry, really.

Democrats at best had a tenuous veto proof majority for not even 2 weeks.

They had the house, the senate, and the POTUS. That’s “veto proof”. And it was for nearly two years.

If you mean “filibuster proof”, the filibuster is just a made up rule by the senate. A rule they could have, and should have, discarded the moment they took the senate.

Money.

Lots of potential tax revenue with cannabis.

So, what you propose just isn’t feasible.

Who is the one who gets John Doe? First come, first serve, and never again available?

Why can’t we just buy domain names for like 30 year periods?

You can. I think ICANN has agreed to limit it to 10 year maximum, to reduce domain squatting, though.

This is a HUGE problem in the IT sector… A lot of folks come up with “new, better, and more agile” systems for core tech, like DNS. What they fail to account for are all the lessons learned, and problems solved over the decades the system has been in use, and fail to understand a lot of the “complications” stem from people being complicated.
