It's certainly not something I would do if I was in the middle of an antitrust lawsuit. Maybe that's why I'm not a billionaire.

It turns out parents are allowed to take their children over state lines.

Fidelity does this because they invested in Twitter alongside Musk, and as a bank they are required by law to disclose the current value of their assets. They come up with a value of their stake, then the rest of us divide that by the percentage Fidelity owns to get the value of the company.

It's a hybrid of hillbilly, valley girl, inner city slang, and various grunts.

You have absolutely no idea if the side effects are comparable between male and female birth control pills. Nobody does. Maybe stop to consider the that side effects might be really bad, before just invalidating the experience of all those who have tested it?

And how long will it take for intelligence agencies to start issuing fake but trusted certificates for surveillance?

You're not actually that slow, are you? Just because the side effects have the same names doesn't mean they're in any way comparable. If you actually read any of the trial reports you'd know the side effects they described were crippling.

Hormonal pills have horrible side effects for some women, but for millions of women around the world the benefits well outweigh the side effects. If you did any of this reading you claimed to do you'd know that wasn't the case with the male trials at all.

Also the falling value of GBP makes importing anything much more expensive.

If you fail to run the gauntlet, or give up in frustration, the insurance company doesn't have to pay. They could absolutely make this process easier, but the incompetence works in their favor.

I've lived in single payer countries as well as in the US, and the incompetence is the same everywhere. In my experience the big difference is in universal healthcare countries the rules are very strictly defined and there's very little scope for exceptions, so either you qualify or you don't. The other issue is that even if you qualify there's often a multi-month waiting list for treatment.

No, it just means that a bunch of lawyers are going to get rich. They will force judges to legislate exactly what amount of human input is necessary for a work to be copyrightable, and there will be endless lawsuits arguing whether particular pieces of work have enough human creativity in them. Big companies aren't going to let something like this stop them.
