That won’t happen without the presidency, but starting to compile the evidence is a possibility.

Prosecution would require a compliant president.

A blue Texas Senate seat is a Democrat wet dream. If the blue wave is actually that big, Trump might actually be fucked.

A lot of the problem is lack of regulation and enforcement. These apps play fast and loose with self exclusion and identifying problem gamblers, with no real consequences. They also tend to ban or heavily limit anyone who wins big. There’s also been a few stories of sports books canceling bets as obvious errors to avoid large payouts.

It would be a lot better if regulation more closely aligned with that of alcohol.

Gamepass never made sense to me as a product. Games make most their sales money in the first few months, but MS gave them away as day 1 additions. Games are heavily monetized with dlc, but a rotating catalog makes buying any less desirable since you could lose access unless you bought the game as well. The subscription seemed to push sales at you, but that’s a turn off for consumers. The used game market was still a thing, a 6 month subscription is less value than spending the same on a handful of games to keep permanently.

I’m not sure how it could succeed unless they stopped selling games at all for Xbox, which would probably kill it faster.

There isn’t an incumbent in this race. The seat is held by a Democrat that is retiring.

Gangs aren’t forcing you to buy, but they are causing vandalism, theft, and intimidating the locals from reporting crimes, and generally preventing investment in an area that would improve the local economy. It’s a self reinforcing loop.

It’s a necessary evil, and it shouldn’t be indefinite or a permanent black mark. It’s definitely a difficult line. The current laws are too restrictive that warning signs can’t be acted upon until it’s too late. Previous laws were far to easy to get someone committed indefinitely with no oversight. We can get closer to a better balance where a 24-72 hour hold could actually be done before someone is holding a gun at a mall or a school. That hold could also be completely sealed so no one could use it against a person.

Those legal technicalities are the justice system. If the state was accusing him of murder by stabbing and lost the knife and cremated the body he should absolutely be released.

Access to guns is part of that right to freedom in the US. None of what I listed infringes on someone else’s freedom.

Being against education is part of the ban all guns platform because it lets them keep guns scary. If people understood guns their bans would be harder to pass.

A gang selling drugs on every corner and intimidating anyone who doesn’t like it is a pretty good cause of poverty though.

It happens, we already preach safe storage and include gun locks. Exposure can make guns something that isn’t as exciting, and safe handling lessons would save lives.

Teaching and exposure is the only thing that makes sense for things you expect children to find that can be dangerous. It’s why Australian children are taught differently about spiders than other countries. Guns are going to be out there in the US.

The government has tried to eliminate poverty since the 60s there hasn’t been meaningful gains in my lifetime despite increasing efforts.

1. Target gangs holistically. Change drug laws to limit their income potential. Target all levels for prosecution rather than primarily the top.
2. Overhaul mental health laws. This is pretty hard to do. It needs to be easier to get someone committed against their will than it currently is, but it also needs to be possible to recover rights after being committed. The institutions that used to do this need to be recreated with better safeguards against abuse of patients.
3. Increase exposure to guns at pretty much every age. This is more about accidental shootings. Handling guns in a safe environment reduces the curiosity if kids find one, shooting classes age junior high or high school age would also help reinforce this.
4. Reduce gun free zones or require places that ban guns to accept security liability.
5. Enforce existing laws, a significant number of shootings have warnings that were ignored by negligent or apathetic administrators or police. Both taking actions that are generally available and legal now, and ensuring accountability for failures would help.

the primary argument that has been successful for John Deere against right to repair is that if they don’t block it, then farmers will just bypass emissions controls. Bypassing is already a crime, but unlikely to ever be prosecuted.

Similarly the fact an AR15 could be illegally modified is not a reason to ban it.

This same argument is used to kill right to repair. Banning potential crime is always bad.

Endless arguments about a new engine vs even more duct tape on the creation engine. Starfield was a tech demo of their latest updates.

It depends on the growth, it it’s 12 and falling it’s irrelevant.
