Don’t worry, we can get our lead from spices and every food that includes them. Lead is cheaper to get than cinnamon and even cocoa, so it ends up being favored adulterant to increase weight at sale.

Lemonade purchased Metromile and significantly increased prices. 2.5x if I recall correctly. This has forced me to move to Geico. Now, since prices have increased and new self driving car insurance is giving a discount, are you effectively paying same old rate?

Dang, you're right. America is evil, so we might as well keep doing evil stuff since we're already evil. :)

Great, so every country can just smoothly descend further into tyranny with no pushback from any other country. Thankfully we won't have any world police though!

I would pick tyranny over "democracy" import any day. Neither US or UK have a great track record here.

C11 and this bill makes me think about what situations does the government need this sort of "weaponry"? I think the plausible answer is war.

I never buy the batteries - I always look for a tool with the battery, as you can almost always score a free tool (or free battery depending on how you look at it).
