You have to order the baby to ask the baby.
And if the baby says no, just send him back.
And it’s going to cost a FORTUNE now. Back when Christie cancelled it, the bulk of the work would have happened with:
- Recession-era labor costs
- Recession-era materials cost
- Rock bottom interest rates
But in a shortsighted Republican “save money” stategy, Christie just made the project cost far more. It’s evolved from “should happen” (pre Sandy) to an “absolutely must happen” (post Sandy).
And NJ taxpayers will have to pay the difference when paying back those bonds. Something to keep in mind if he ever got the nomination for president.
I tend to lean toward OP’s original scenario never happening.
Back when signal jammers first came out, people used doom and gloom to say that autoritarian powers would jam our phones so we couldnt use them. It never happened.
Not because there weren’t people who didn’t try. But because the United States doesn’t have one “government.” We have governments. So if an out of control state legislature tries to do something, the FCC fights back. And if Congress gets too crazy, courts will strike it on Tenth Amendment grounds.
In the end, people are going to find a way to record cops. So we will. And – despite internet pessimism – most of the people in our governments will actually back us on it.
I was an avid Firefox user back 15 years ago, when the Windows program would gobble up all the ram.
Chrome was so light and quick, like everybody else, I switched.
About 5 years ago, a new Firefox came out and I gave it a try and never looked back. So many neat plug ins! And uBlock on my phone!
Meanwhile, I’m laughing all the way to the bank with my Brother color laser.
Yes, the printer didn’t have a low subsidized price up front. But now I can enjoy big toner cartridges that seem to last forever. And I can use all the knockoff ones I want. And the printer itself is bulletproof.
Huge fan of Brother!
Counterlogic: Act WAY too interested. Like a crazy person. Unbreakable eye contact. And start asking them very personal questions about themselves with a huge smile on their face.
