Do they have to incite a mob to overtake the halls of a separate and equal branch of our government resulting in the deaths of five people including a police officer?
It wouldn't be. Forcing the producers to pay for their externalities will also make some products like bottled water cost-prohibitive to sell in glass bottles and reduce demand or increase packaging sizes to more is bought in reusable plastic carboys, etc. "Reduce" is more important than reuse or recycle and while there is an obvious need for cheap bottled water, probably at least 80% of plastic disposable water bottles do not need to be sold in that way.
We could also just tax the income used to make the donations at similar levels to prior top brackets and not depend on philanthropy as a means to fund public institutions or social safety nets.
> Drones are a serious responsibility, and can be misused to cause a lot of damage
>I flew the drone over to a friend's back yard, and had misconfigured the "return-to-home" altitude too low
You claim to understand the need for responsible drone ownership, yet in the same comment mention how you crashed your drone (luckily only into a tree) while violating clearly-stated FAA line-of-sight guidelines (and also not having understood the basic flight controls and recovery options). This is some serious cognitive dissonance.
You could also stop this degree inflation by requiring a $15 minimum wage on all jobs but a $25 minimum wage when the job lists a bachelor's degree requirement (applied based on whether the job requires a degree, not whether the employee has a degree).
I think something along these lines would be great. The problem with Amazon competing in their own marketplace is that there is far too much information asymmetry -- they know about how their marketplace sellers are setting prices and they know the cumulative sales of all items and trends, whereas the marketplace sellers only see their end of things. Amazon then has the ability to just cut those sellers out as it wishes (either through undercutting, making their own Amazon-branded versions, or even just kicking the seller off the platform with no recourse.
This provides Amazon with the ability to do what financial marketplaces are forbidden: front-running, insider trading, etc with their own "stock" of merchandise.
No, because stores like Kroger aren't building a marketplace platform, they are building a single thing to sell their products -- this is evident in the fact that there's aren't grocery monopolies. A single market is not a marketplace.
Your friends could still be considered contractors under this law. One of the provisions that allows you to remain a contractor is that "the worker is customarily engaged in an independently established trade, occupation, or business of the same nature as that involved in the work performed." The other prongs of the test have long been part of IRS law.
I work as a 1099 contractor doing software engineering under my own LLC consulting business. This is valid under CA law. The law is meant to protect people who are unfairly classified as contractors outside of a trade, not restrict choice of those of us already working in this capacity.
That option is still completely possible under this law. One of the provisions that allows you to remain a contractor is "The worker is customarily engaged in an independently established trade, occupation, or business of the same nature as that involved in the work performed."

But we're not talking about a couple people, we're talking about a culture shift to prevent ageism. In that context, the average age definitely increases, which definitely increases the risk and premiums for that pool, what was the parent post's exact point.
But the risk to the target outweighs the potential benefit to the doxxer. Consequences can be unequal. And if the doxee ends up being the perpetrator, then the bad things were already on their way via the legal system.
