One thing most have done is incorporate more air, as part of shrinkflation. That makes it more soft because it's less actual product.

Others have answered, but the reason why "states' rights" don't matter at the Federal level is the Supremacy Clause. States can be more restrictive than the Federal government, but cannot be more lax/loose. An interesting aside is the states that have legalized marijuana usage, where the Federal government has (as of yet) not cracked down on that.

iPhone user here, with an ad blocker in Safari and DNS-based ad blocking. Don't assume all iPhone users are in that category...

This is because they are paid for the canvassing, right? I can't fathom a reason why to bother with this, if not for that. Other than maybe some Dem tomfoolery to skew the ground game reporting, I guess.

This is fascinating. I hate the treadmill due to the monotony of doing that for 20-20 minutes. If I could break that up into 5-minute chunks over the course of the day, it's less monotonous, for sure.

Investing billions

Weren't the headlines a week or two ago about Microsoft trying to get taxpayer funded aid for reopening 3-mile Island? Companies shouldn't be asking for taxpayer funded handouts when they are basically printing money at this point.
