First? After ghosting a seat and switching an unwritten rule and back again? Not first. They’ve declared war and you want to adhere to Robert’s Rules of Order. Do that and we guarantee their victory. No thanks.
They will expand the Court if it’s in their power and in their interest regardless of what the Democrats do now. If you think otherwise, fine, but you’re dead wrong.
They have a supermajority now, expand and they MIGHT take a supermajority again later? Ok, sure. And if we continue to abide by the norms and leave the Court as it is, they will too? Like they did in not having a vote on Garland? Like they did on ‘not voting on a nomination in an election year’, and then reversing that to ‘it’s ok to confirm a nominee of an electoral loser before they leave office’ (before ratcheting up to not respecting the voters will in an election, which to be fair they weren’t all doing, then anyway). Excuse those of us that are looking for elections to mean something.
Yep, failed once, let’s kill that idea forever. Even floating that idea got the desired result. This time we do it for real. And bring in DC and Puerto Rico as states to address the Senate. Better to find achievable solutions than to throw up our hands and say nothing can be done.
Number one lack was sales. Number one-A lack was price. MS charged device manufacturers for the operating system, whereas Android was free. Apple sold their phones to customers who were happy to pay for the quality of the devices and software, and every other vendor went for low cost. Apple’s sales were small in market share for years but profitable, while the rest of the market sold at little or no profit. Years pass, Apple builds on success and profit through customer satisfaction, and oh yes, they build in point to point secrecy into their network. That’s the real goal of this lawsuit.
Word and Excel were developed for the Mac and ported afterwards to IntelPC. Microsoft hastily released Windows as a means to market these new programs to businesses. Seemed to work out for them.
