Jobs being made obsolete by new technology is one thing.

Artists having their works taken and profited off of without consent, attribution, or compensation is another.

I don't remember the brand or specs. I only remember that it ran MS-DOS and had an orange monochrome monitor.

Good Moleman to you.

Another nit about Riker's argument: at one point he detaches Data's arm to demonstrate that he's a machine. Four years later Riker's arm was amputated and reattached by the subspace aliens in Schisms.

Many different kinds of organizations are organized as corporations. Charities, newspapers, churches, etc. If the amendment was not carefully written, it could be construed to deny important rights, such as press freedom or religious freedom, to organizations that really ought to be protected. Similarly, the protections against unwarranted search and seizure or taking of property for pubic use without compensation should probably continue to cover corporations.

Really, the only problem I see WRT corporations having constitutional rights is the decision that political spending is protected speech. The other constitutional rights are generally not problematic.

So maybe something like this:

  1. No person, whether natural born human or legal fiction, shall spend, donate, or otherwise make valuable contributions to any candidate or campaign, if said person is not entitled to vote in the election for such candidate or campaign.

  2. Only natural born human beings shall be entitled to vote in any election.

What does that even mean? What is "the American psyche"? What does it mean for it to be diseased?

She's not being attacked for the crimes of her son, though. She's being criticized as a hypocrite.

If she actually believed her own bullshit then she would be GLAD that she has a more prominent platform from which to spread her beliefs.

So if a dog is 10% pit bull, 20% German shepherd, 10% beagle 15% husky, 20% lab, 5% golden and 10% Belgian Malinois it counts towards “pit bulls” but no other breed? Got it. It’s almost like another form of historical discrimination by race said any percentage counts as belonging to the undesired race that is being targeted…

The fuck?

“Of unidentifiable dogs that have average dog characteristics we attributed generic criteria that meet any number of breeds but also fit the specific ones we wanted to target with our predetermined conclusion prior to executing this study. We were able to validate our desired outcome with this specific targeting.” #Science!

Not what the article actually said.

In fairness to Gaetz, that's how everyone else sees it too.

What bothers me the most is that Data was still a Lt. Cmdr after 25+ years of exemplary Starfleet service. It's not like he'd fail the bridge officer's test.
