“Capitalism without government-granted patent and copyright monopolies is still capitalism.” Capitalism without competition is feudalism. To the GOP + their corporate Dem auxiliary’s threat that the elite won’t invest if we don’t surrender to them endless certain profit, I’d reply “crypto”.

The headline is the weapon. It is what 1000x more will read and believe than will read the story. And they know it. Scolding reactions to headlines with “I see you didn’t read the article” instead of outing the editor who wrote the misinformation is insane. That HL’s aren’t even attributed is insane

It’s intentional. Not laziness. Not an honest mistake. The NY Times editors know what words mean. They know the headline is the information. A reader who trusts the NYT brand and doesn’t already know Trump has no power over this, now believes some legal path for Trump to ban mail-in voting exists.
