That's a pretty good answer. I knew Mozilla had bought it, and were operating it as an independent subsidiary. I didn't know they promised to open-source it over 7 years ago.

What you said is true, so is the comment you're responding to.

This is a bit surprising because it's already in place. Usually, push-back is because humans are naturally resistant to change and people can't envision the benefits as easily as the drawbacks.

some residents expressed concern about cars and trucks clogging up side streets.

Maybe these concerns needed to be addressed, possibly by traffic calming the areas around the pedestrian zone? However, my money is that the "clogged up side streets" won't get any better.

If I remember correctly, it's the fact that these loans are held by companies who pay state tax. If the loans are paid out by the federal government, the states' future tax revenues will be diminished.

She probably didn't qualify to take on the whole mortgage without her ex-Spouse.

I agree with your message, but as a Canadian, I always find it funny how Americans throw around "unelected" as a pejorative. Very few countries hold elections for anything that isn't a professional-political positions. Maybe I'm biased from my experiences, but I don't think there is anything wrong with judges being unelected, they should be apolitical and follow a code of ethics.

Note the word "Plan". You've provided a proposal, which has not been implemented.

And as we know all too well from history, enabling other freedoms (women's suffrage, marriage equality, or now getting around by bike) disrupts those already established freedoms!

"Thrift" doesn't mean it's a charity either, take for example Value Village. There are also a ton of "consignment stores" that are for profit businesses and will get real mad if you call them a thrift store.

Unironically, yes. As part of Reddit's deal with Google, they're supposed to get access to some of Google's search tools.

I mentioned this is another comment, but the crazy thing is that's the driver's view from M1 Abrams. Typically, in hatches open operation you'd either have a Crew Commander (and/or gunner) standing with their torso out of the turret for better visibility (and a second set of eyes), or a ground guide watching where you go.

TBF, the Republicans had control of the Presidency, House, and Senate when that started...
