> If Congress is incapable of making new laws, we still need them somehow. Do we though? When there is a lack of consensus on what federal law should be, those are exactly the times the federal apparatus should be silent and leave it to the states.
So states can regulate interstate commerce, congressional stock trading, foreign policy, military spending guidelines, federal lands and financial exchanges now? This is just dodging the question of why can’t Congress do its job.

Which of these are the things where gridlock is happening? In which administration did Lockheed go poor because no defense budget was passed in the entire term?
And Congressional stock trading is exactly the sort of thing that should be regulated by the states, since the federal members of Congress have an obvious conflict of interest. Meanwhile if California says it's illegal to trade stocks on insider information then US Senators from California who do insider trading should be in an orange jumpsuit.

#413This is how it works in Australia, which means it's a pain for tourists as you need to provide a passport for ID and get it activated, as opposed to just grabbing one at an airport kiosk and being ready to go on your way to the taxi or train like most other places.
Has this changed recently? I thought I heard about this several years ago, but the last 2-3 times I've visited (in the last couple of years) I've been able to pick up a prepaid SIM from Colesworth without any ID check.
The current ID verification requirements for phones were introduced to Australia in 1997

Chris Rock. And honestly probably the easiest way for gun control
Not really, at least with current SOTA for ammunition. Reloading has long been a thing for high volume shooters.
Right who, at least in my experience, tend to be a bit more responsible gun owners. It would be interesting to study that.

This comment is so divorced from reality. It is very difficult to live life in the modern world without a phone unless you want to go Amish.
Not really. Rural America you don't need a mobile phone. I can go days without ever touching my phone. And if it wasn't for my bank, I wouldn't need it at all. Even then I could just go to the bank but I'm too lazy to do that.
Yes when you are away from society you don't require a device to connect with society.

#416Here's the link to submit a comment to the FCC: https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings/express Ran a quick search and found a whole bunch of news articles, but nobody includes info that makes it easy to route your comment. Feels like the beginning of Hitchhiker's Guide: > It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying Beware of the Leopard.
This is the specific proposed rule to reference: https://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-seeks-comment-enhanced-know...

It’s not the responsible gun owners people are worried about- it’s the ones who hide in their shadow
