I read even as a kid he undercut lawn service companies to make money.

Lots of unanswered questions. Did he really need a CCW? If so, why didn’t corporate use their influence into getting him one, unless it wasn’t for his job and was personal. 

I am amused that San Jose has a “Hall of Justice” and reading that made me miss Ted Knight and his narration of the Superfriends cartoon. 

It's called the Constitution - 2nd Amendment. Nowhere does it state that you have to have a reason to purchase a gun.

Glad I live in a state that upholds the 2nd Amendment instead of trampling on it.

The 2nd Amendment:  “A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” 

If it was not for the last comma, I would agree with you that the people can keep and bear arms. Unfortunately, I read it as a well-regulated Militia, such as the National Guard, shall not be infringed.

In a related matter, the European commission called bull on Trump's attacks on Huawei. 

And, the case against Meng is largely in the same status:   she is charged with violating Trump's allegations and sanctions on Iran which the rest of the world (except the far right) rejects as bogus, politically motivated rhetoric.

I am not far right. I do not care for Trump. But the Chinese government has been, and continues to be, the greatest threat to cybersecurity to the US. I would imagine that extends to NATO nations as well.

If 30% is way too high or highway robbery, why does it continue to grow? If it is indeed too high, purchases, usage, and revenue would begin to shrink.

I was considering a Tesla as my next vehicle purchase. However, I think the profit Musk is making on each vehicle sold is much too high, plus he is an asshole. Therefore, I will purchase a different vehicle and absolutely not purchase a Tesla.

It is that simple. If you think something costs too much or you do not like the people associated with the product, then do not purchase it.

A small percentage is fair but Apple charges these 30% fees like mafia mob. Shame on them.

imagine Visa and MasterCard charging 30% per transaction for using their system;)

The credit card companies get a small percentage of every purchase, but if you do not make a full payment on time, you are paying a fee that is about 1000% greater than the current inflation rate -- but they will not break your knees if you do not pay.
