OT: Is there a reliable Firefox to block these annoying Bloomberg auto-play videos?

Mine don't play in FF. I think you can disable this via: media.autoplay.enabled type about:config in url and set value to false

Thanks, that worked, although YouTube affected, too. Well, better than unexpected auto-play.

Update: Does also not-auto-play gifs/gifv on imgur, thus it's not really a solution.

There's a substantive difference between being given money vs keeping your own money: one is theft, the other isn't. If we can't get tax cuts across the board, then I'm all for reducing taxes on whoever we can, however we can.

If you appreciate roads, education, police, fire, private property, military, food safety, breathable air, safe drugs, etc, then you shouldn't be trying to cut taxes whenever and however you can as a base principle.

While I agree we should have some taxes, for some of these things, I think the above list could be paid for with far less than what we currently spend. Plenty of waste. Also, for example, we could likely get away with spending a bit less on some of these, like the military for one.
