Beer in the US does too have a taste! Granted, that taste is horse piss, but it still has taste!
Also remember that a lot of beer in the US is imported, so stating that all beer in the US is bad is casting a negative light on beer from other countries.
The companies agree to pay up to a total of $100 million if they fail to meet these commitments.
I can't believe he's so gullible... actually, I can... or maybe he's corrupt. In any case, notice it says up to $100 million. $0 is certainly part of the set of all numbers "up to" $100 million. Now if they had a legal contract that stated a minimum of $100 million, that might be more conceivable that the AG would pull out because of it. Of course, they'd never offer that. Instead, you get weasel words that mean nothing, and in the end, promise nothing.
But that's the wrong direction. The Brits couldn't leave Hong Kong fast enough right before it got turned back over to the Chinese. Even people only tangentially related tried to immigrate to GB at the time.
In cases like this, it's often that those in charge have a financial interest in the major corporation in the area that's causing the contamination. What do you wanna bet who gets blamed in the reports?
And like Lucy and Charlie Brown football, nobody in the US seems interested in learning from the experience.
That never quite fit. It's more like every time Charlie Brown misses the football because of Lucy, she makes a million dollars while Charlie Brown goes to the hospital, and the taxpayers foot his bill, and yet we are not allowed to do anything about Lucy.
TechDirt does not need to do as asking in a DMCA notice if they feel it's not proper. Your only recourse then is to sue in court, but they still don't need to take anything down until/unless a court orders it.
I guess that's why he's senator - they didn't want his honesty infecting the state congress, so they sent him to DC hoping they would wear down his morals to state standards.
Those senators should be worried about covering their own asses rather than Trump's. Perhaps they don't realize what message they're sending to voters when they blatantly endorse corruption at the highest levels.
The old saw is backwards because the way it's commonly used is stupid as I pointed out. The proper way to say it is "you want to eat your cake and have it, too." That makes perfect sense - once you've eaten it, it's gone, so you can no longer have it. Contrarily, saying "you want to have your cake and eat it, too" is a "well, DUH!" kinda statement. Of COURSE I want to eat the cake I have! That's why I have it! So I can eat it. What kind of sick bastard hands you cake and then says "you can have that cake, but absolutely NO EATING IT!" I'd take that cake and shove it in his face.
