Interestingly this is basically like the u-shaped relationship between competition and innovation, where monopoly/high-concentration has little competitive pressure to innovate, and profit margins in highly-competitive markets are often too small to incentive high fixed R&D costs.

But for real, it's legal in most states for felons to own blackpowder guns, and they're free from almost all Federal gun regulation, since they don't fall under the legal definition of "firearm." You can buy one brand new and have it shipped to your door.

Today I learned that even though the French label the states of the Carolinas and Dakotas with a more direct translation (e.g. Dakota du Nord), West Virginia is not "Virginie de l'Ouest" but "Virginie-Occidentale," which is incredible branding.

You don't have to suspect Uhlig is implying he's guilty of similar conduct to be concerned. It's bad enough that he's loudly and proudly signalling that he'll likely diminish, discount, and undermine any report of misconduct that harms his students and colleagues. Even with evidence in writing!

In the era of slavery, free black people had to carry their "free papers" with them so they could prove to the authorities that they were free, or else they would be thrown in jail and sold.
BASH: If ICE says it doesn't arrest US citizens, why do we keep seeing incidents of them aggressively pursuing citizens?
HOMAN: I can't tell you how many times an illegal alien claims to be a US citizen. It happens all the time.

Snail heist from France, Maple syrup heist from Canada, chocolate heist from Belgium, cheese heist from Wisconsin, olive heist from Greece, like I'm Carmen Sandiego collecting Infinity Stones.

Snail Theft Hits France Before Holiday Rush
Shop owners say the thieves who took 990 pounds of snails must have been escargot cognoscenti.
