  • A 16 year old can get emancipation from the court in Florida. Doing so would make it so parents or guardian would no longer have claim over any money earned.

    That's the one decent argument for this law; an emancipated 16 year old needs the ability to work a full time job to support themselves as no one else is legally required to do so.

  • The programs these churches run are typically filling in gaps in social programs that the government doesn't have the political mandate to enact.

    If these churches were taxed you'd see their charities diminished while the funding went to some pork belly spending project, or at the very least not related to what services the church is suddenly not providing.

    Not all government spending is a net positive.

  • Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent

    • Salvor Hardin

    I can't think of a better way to explain the difference between the books and the show then that quote.

    Can you imagine Salvor of the show ever saying that?

  • Further erode relations between Israel and other ME countries.

    Turn international political option against Israel.

    The only path to any kind of resolution in which Gaza gets sovereignty is if Israel is forced to the table by the international community.

    To do that, Hamas has to get Israel to kill as many Gaza citizens as they can

  • Honestly, it's really not. It's rather trivial to find marriage records to find the original name.

    Maybe it's the same for legal name changes, I don't know. I've never searched for it before.

    But anytime I've had to find out someone's maiden name, it's been trivial for me to do so.

  • Apparently the plan was to disband the local department and merge it into the department of a neighboring area, then split the cost in an effort to lower the overall operating costs of police services in the area.

    The other city they were going to do this with declined the deal and so this town had to keep their local force in tact.

    Upon hearing that the city they worked for was trying to eliminate their jobs, a bunch quit.

  • We have quite a while yet. We spend about 200 billion servicing the debt right now and have around 4.8 trillion in revenue.

    The warning line is having a debt equal to your GDP. The US has a GDP of around 28 trillion but a debt of 34 trillion. So we are past that warning line, but by itself that doesn't mean anything.

    For other countries it would signal to banks and other countries that it might be a bad idea to loan to them, but the US has a kind of special status in the global economy and this hasn't slowed down loaning so far.
