I wouldn't be surprised if they are working on first party IAM user support though.
So if you have 5 10 second actions that run when a PR is created, that 50 seconds of compute is charged as 5 minutes.
So yeah, I think they have the human factor of the safety planning covered.
If it's a webserver you can do the same, or use something like Cloudflare tunnels to expose the service.
ATF's job in this case should be enforcing the existing law, not writing new law with no congressional approval and then enforcing it themselves.
I agree that congress did give them some limited power to adjust to changing times, however I believe that has been abused in recent years to enact backdoor legislation via Presidential order without going through the expected legislative channels. That power should be revoked.
A great example is ATF abusing the power to redefine what a pistol/rifle/machine gun are multiple times in the past decade. This leads to people who were previously compliant with the law, with prior written approval from the ATF, now are not compliant with their new definition and could face prosecution. All without any new law being passed, all being done by political appointees and bureaucrats.
It's advantageous for police to be present at large gatherings, from a traffic control point of view it prevents accidents with other members of the public that would cost the municipality even more money to respond to.
Also from a security standpoint as people physically fighting or potentially someone looking to do harm with a weapon would both reflect badly on the community and their events, and also require even more of a response.
So if the event organizer is paying for that security from off duty / reserve officers, the community is getting that extra protection essentially for free, whereas they would have had to pay other officers likely for overtime if it wasn't paid for by the event.
Also it becomes a felony if any theft has been committed more than 3 times: `(D) the value of the property stolen is less than $2,500 and the defendant has been previously convicted two or more times of any grade of theft;`
In those other states its hard to get the police to even respond to shoplifting calls let alone make an arrest. And even if they did, the prosecutors will dismiss the charges or give them a slap on the wrist (which is why the cops don't bother anymore).
Generally the private entity pays the city, which then pays the cop. In many states private entities can't stop/redirect the flow of traffic legally so they hire off duty cops to do so.
This makes complete sense though. The company and the city signed a deal for X amount of meters for Y amount of years. That no doubt went into the financial planning for Profit/Loss. If the city were to remove meters they would be breaking the contract as there are no longer X meters and that much less revenue that the company paid upfront for.
I don't see anyone arguing against immigration here. We are arguing against illegal immigration / obvious abuse of the asylum system.
If we can close the obvious holes in our border that are letting 200k people through a month, I'm very much in favor of granting more work visas to immigrants and starting the naturalization process.
The minute you announce some kind of concession for people already here (which would most definitely be part of a broader immigration reform bill) then the floodgates will open with people trying to make it in before the effective date.

They, along with others still in line feel cheated by the people entering illegally / abusing the asylum claim systems. If you're escaping a bad situation in a central or southern American country, and then pass through 4-5 countries to get here, you're not seeking asylum, you're an economic migrant no different from immigrants from India, China, etc all seeking a better life.
No other developed country would or should allow people to illegally enter and skip the legal process.
If those people are from out of state, the tax revenue would go to their home state instead of the state they created the road wear and tear on.

Biden's FCC is able to take action because those were finally finished and now can enforce with the call source traceability they didn't have a few years ago.

Here is them lobbying specifically around antitrust reform legislation: https://www.opensecrets.org/federal-lobbying/bills/specific_...
One great example of this is during the Bin Laden raid planning, after all plans were exhausted on how they could put boots on the ground, only then did a high ranking officer let the president and the rest of the team in the room know about the stealth helicopters that even the SEALs had never seen before.
