What do you call a lawyer at the bottom of the sea?
A good start. 

Because all lawyers are evil... sigh. Grow up. There are plenty of people who become lawyers to do good things, not to be scum. Corporations and others who set out to be abusive and greedy look for the kind of lawyer that will be fine with that kind of behavior. Put the blame where it belongs: the scum that makes a market for abusive scummy lawyers to advance.

China doesn’t want our recyclables, not because they have too much of their own, but because America absolutely SUCKS at recycling. Our whole culture of material usage sucks. Corporations and individuals are selfish and lazy in regard to effort put into recycling.

All of our recyclable materials are unseparated and commingled (pretty much everywhere you go the waste collection system is commingled for so-called recyclables, and many recyclables aren’t even accepted, which leads to consumers putting them into the system and collectors rejecting them or leaving them mixed with the rest when they sell it to recyclers).

This laziness utterly destroys the value in the stream of materials output by our so-called recycling systems, because it demands insane amounts of separation efforts on the end of the actual recycler (once you dump everything together, the difficulty separating it gets much worse).

We should not have single-stream recycling. We should be separating things at the consumer end and at the business end. Businesses must be forced into compliance since they’re the biggest source of all waste and pollution, often doing ZERO recycling at all, compared to individual citizens.

Other developed nations put out way more effort on this than we do in America. Just like they do with regard to taking care of their own people with health, education, and housing.

Was the court case against Microsoft even relevant to loosening their grip on the web browser market? It was the wrong lawsuit to have, in the first place. The real issue was their contracts providing them a strangle-hold on the sales of premade computers (the whole bootloader bundling mess). Look up Be Inc.’s Jean-Louis Gasse’s commentary on that whole situation. BeOS bundled a web browser of its own. The internet was basic functionality for an OS, something we accept today. Control over whether a company could get their non-Microsoft software preinstalled on Dell, Gateway, etc computers was where the real monopoly power abuse existed.

What is a “6K3K” display?

how much it will cost

For the market it would be aimed at...it doesn't matter how much it costs. It wouldn't be aimed at a consumer even though they will be bitching up a storm about how expensive it is. 

It still needs to be within the scope of reason for small businesses and individuals trying to make some kind of living working from home as a one-person business.

the iMac pro was not. 

The iMac Pro is a computer, not just a high-end display. Two totally different things here. 

I am talking about the costs for equipment at a so-called “professional” level of functionality.
