It's tricky because if you take the view that rightsholders licenses are necessary for training, it's not clear that the labels hold those rights. If you need the music producer rights, for instance, it's a lot more decentralized and harder to get a catalog.

I don't believe you. Sorry. Unless you never actually use your email address for anything, to have zero spam is impossible.
Unless you mean that you have a 100% success rate in filtering that spam out, and in which case, I'd still not believe you.
He likely means he's not sending spam.

That they reached a different conclusion than the outcome you wished for does not indicate a lack of critical thinking skills. They have a different set of information than you do, and reached a different conclusion.
If 95% of people voted in favour of apple pie, I'd become a bit suspicious of apple pie.

It's really wasted on clubbers. Much better to be shared on a beautiful quiet day with a loved one. From what I hear.
I think my comment come of as too literal. It wasn't meant to imply that there is nothing of value to the club experience, but rather that a busy and loud environment like a club may over-highlight the stimulant aspects of the drug and tone down its more exceptional empathogenic traits, reportedly.

I have a feeling that increases in foreign investors also discouraged companies from issuing dividends. For example, I pay 0% capital gains tax but have to pay the US government (where I have never stepped foot) 30% on dividends.
Agreed.
In theory you can claim it back, but it's a major pain in the ass. Some ETF issued outside the US and holding US stocks will do it.
Other strategies to avoid this annoyance include:
1. selling on the ex-dividend date and buying the next day.
2. buying a long-date call and selling a put instead of holding the stock
3. simpler version of 2: buy a deep in the money long-dated call, you won't be paying all that much for the convexity, and you don't have to think about dividends.

Once upon a time dividend payments were _the reason_ to hold stock in companies. Funny that tax loop holes and the borrowing-against-assets-infinite-money-cheat rendered dividends "silly".
Yes this is a shit situation for Intel, but public companies should be paying dividends, IMO.
The reason to hold stock is that they return value to shareholders. Stock buy backs are functionally dividends but they are taxed more fairly. They also work better for foreign investors, and are a much cleaner and simpler mechanism than directly sending cash to shareholders.
