Cars should not be able to go 90 in a 35 zone, we need to fix the cars/drivers not the roads, geo-based speed limiters NOW. The tech already exists and I don’t want to hear about that one time you were speeding to get your granny to the hospital, that’s what ambulances are for.
While we’re at it, forget about fines, traffic infractions should carry suspensions, like 1 week for every mile over the limit. And lifetime bans once you hit 20 points.
While I think you’re being a bit hyperbolic, I definitely think habitual offenders should have more penalties thrown at them. Lien, wage garnishment, etc. People will not change their driving habits until you hit them where it hurts; namely, their wallet. We should also 100% bring back bench warrants for speeding and traffic infractions.
42,000 road deaths a year, deterrents don’t work, especially a couple of hundred bucks for someone driving a six-figure car. Dangerous drivers need to be removed from the road permanently. We can work on the details but I’m quite serious.
Serious . . . . ly fkg stupid.
I am all about punishment, especially for habitual offenders and remove their privileges. I am all in. But, designing cars that don’t go 90 because some dumbass kid (now a felon doing time) screwed up. I don’t think so.
You say they need to be “removed” but how exactly would such a plan be enforced outside of incarceration? Monetary deterrents work, they just have to be high enough to make shitty drivers’ lives hard enough. I’m even down for penalizing peoples’ credit scores for habitual dangerous driving. Financially ruin them until they get the picture.
Because it’s ‘Merica! I pity the sheeple of Europe who drive like zombies lest they lose everything for going over an arbitrary speed limit set by morons.
While I frequently disagree with the author, he is exactly right regarding water usage in this state. I would also point out that municipal residential housing (even with a pool in every other backyard) uses far less water than agriculture.
If we cared about water usage, we would prohibit the data centers in this state using water. One data center uses the same amount of water as all the residents of Henderson.
There are multiple data centers now and can be adapted to cool using other techniques. Save water for people, animals, and plants, not Google.
A couple years ago, SNWA’s Board approved a resolution prohibiting new evap cooling, except residential use. LVVWD, Henderson and, I believe, North Las Vegas implemented the resolution in their respective codes/rules. Doesn’t get rid of existing evap-cooled data centers but it’s a step in the right direction.

So weird – we are supposed to be the examples of critical thinking, decorum, justice, etc. and we devolve so quickly to name calling, etc. – strange

In requesting receivership in a forced company dissolution matter, how much can one expect in fees to the individual/company providing the receiver services?
This isn’t entirely correct…it’s more accurate to say: “an amount equal to or near the full amount of the assets in the forced company dissolution.” Clients should know that these forced receiverships practically distribute the assets from the company to the receiver. Some would say it serves the clients right for not otherwise finding a mutual solution
When the law-talker people ask the Decision Maker person to put a money-taker person in charge of a business, how much money will the money-taker person take from the business?
While I agree that your comments about a certain judge’s looks were complementary, the problem is this type of discussion inevitably leads to someone disagreeing with you, and now we are anonymously debating whether a judge is hot or not. This type of discussion isn’t fair to the judge, and it doesn’t add anything to the overall discourse of the blawg. The same thing applies to whether one of your attorney colleagues are hot or not. All that being said, for the record, I believe I’m a solid 6.5

Thanks Big Brother. Is this a parody account?
This opinion would be more at home in Oh, IDK. Nazi fkg Germany.
Yes, speed limits are literal nazis.
Yes. Cause that is what I said. . . . .🙄

OK Adolph. Take a Xanax, please.
“driving privileges”
You should lookup how fines for speeding are determined in Sweden.
Who cares what Sweden does? We’re in ‘Merica!
Some countries do photo radar. Not sure why it is not done here.
Because it’s ‘Merica! I pity the sheeple of Europe who drive like zombies lest they lose everything for going over an arbitrary speed limit set by morons.
Compromise – speed limiters and breath locks on all 3 time offenders for life.
OK. We are getting closer. But, before I concede the point. . . .
What constitutes an “offense”?
If you get popped you get propped. Pay the fine and stfu. Just don’t drive drunk. Other than that F1 every street baby!
Read NRS 484A.600.

Exactly correct. I get wanting to bring in diverse industries, the data centers make no sense to me. Horribly suited to this environment.

A shit ton.
No exceptions.

Speak English son. I’m just a Family Court Judge and have no idea what your saying.

All of it
