On one side! The world dying! On the other, a couple people's jobs that can be replaced by green sector jobs!

What a massively hard decision.

Yeah, me disagreeing with them locking people up over social media posts criticizing them.

That can happen to anyone if they're fired.

It sucks for more than just that though. There's 0 reason for tipped workers to pay less in taxes over workers making the same just by virtue of being tipped.

Healthy people with access to the surrounding world through the Internet is a giant net positive for a country

Certainly, if that was all the public domain was, it'd be great! But it's much worse than that. It allows people to freely take and profit off the art of others without paying dividends. It allows larger companies to steal and copy designs of small, new companies and under cut them even more readily and easily than they already do.

There's plenty of downsides that you're not considering.

So you're just going to ignore the even worse creative theft that would happen under such laws towards artistic talents.

There'd be much less in the way of tv shows or animations.

I'll hate on Disneyland and golf thank you very much. Also, for your stadiums example, many are angry about them
