Trumps MO is to pass other bills when the focus is on another item, he's good at that.
How does it change life on airlines, most of it is common sense

I was SHOCKED to learn that Google+ was even still around.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

Headline:
"LaCroix faces lawsuit for allegedly including cockroach insecticide ingredient in its sparkling water"

First paragraph:
"A lawsuit .... alleges the sparkling water .... includes an ingredient used in cockroach insecticide"

Not quite the same thing.

If there’s a lawsuit about it it must a significantly surprising ingredient to include in seltzer...
nothings impossible- the word itself says Im possible

https://amp.economist.com/gulliver/2018/10/10/many-credit-cards-may-be-forced-to-cut-back-on-perks
Are cards electronically coded to know how much the fees are. Can the stores force the credit  card manufacturers (I don't  know a  better  word) to implement such a feature? Otherwise cashier's will have to remember a lot of cards.

In the article their example they gave was when the government forced cc companies to set a limit on their fees. Nobody had a choice to accept higher or lower fees (I think).

So even if in USA they change the policy of "honor them all" why would it be different than how it currently is where some credit card companies charge more than others ( I don't know that for fact. But iinm Amex is known to charge more than visa/mc) and still most big stores choose to accept all?

ETA actually my second question isn't really a question I'll just leave it be anyways
