To be fair to him, as a non-American I 'hear' that 'boy' in some sort of Texan/Southern drawl as a result of endless media overuse of it. Good to hear it lives on in the North though!

Relatively they are only a tiny proportion, so I'd probably not even bother with argon unless I wanted to tell people that they were breathing in a smog of dioxygenated nitrogen, argon-infused carbon anhydride and dihydrogen monoxide. For short and snappy, dioxygenated nitrogen works, although I could go for 'dioxygenated mephitic azote'
Becausee the DOJ can still utterly ruin your life with piled-on 'fake' charges and escalating civil penalties into grand felonies. I'm sure most people would rather not have to go to court and would rather not be charged with 'felony interference with a government donor's business failure model' because they changed a lightbulb for themselves.
I take it you are redefining 'communist' according to Faux News and Conservapedia as 'someone I don't like who is to the right of Genghis Khan but still left of me'?
Hollywood may have a somewhat so-called 'liberal' bias in their film-making, but they are nowhere close to communist. Plus, their management system is far too capitalist-abusive to be even socialist, let alone communist. Where is the 'common good' of how they treat their artists or the public?
I don't think that's 'transformative' enough, as it's going for an exact reproduction. Same as taking pictures of old public domain paintings - there has to be some element of change to add an additional copyright.
So if someone took a picture of the Mona Lisa and adds other photo-manipulations in, that picture can gain copyright and anyone copying that one is on the hook. But it doesn't suddenly mean someone has 'stolen' the copyright to the original.
Yes, it's funny how thsy are all over "for the arts and sciences" when trying to block 'obscene' works, but then think a factual legal filing or government form requires 'copyprotection'...
To be fair we've had similar stuff in the UK for ages. It makes sense to charge people more during peak-usage hours as the higher the load, the more electricity the company has to source - which may be more expensive at short notice or from further away.
Peak hours billing can tend to encourage people to do high-load but low-priority usage at better times. For instance, one of the popular tariffs in the UK was (is?) Economy 7, which allowed people to get cheaper electricity overnight - so it was a great time to run the washing machine or dishwasher, whilst freeing up 'daytime' power for more immediate needs.
