That sounds like socialism which is bad because it's bad. Look what happened in Canada, they didn't pay animal and worker abusingly low prices and now they don't have insanely high prices. Without causing these situations they are denying large parts of their population high sustained cortisol levels.
This is why we need to maintain our threats of annexation. We must provide them the stress that their government denies them.
The "willingly" makes the difference there. That changes it from negligence to intentional, and those are legally distinct.
If Amazon, or another marketplace, isn't aware of the danger of a product sold by a vendor on their platform, it's not clear if Amazon, or the market provider, is responsible. Amazon is arguing that they aren't, but I don't know enough of the law to say if that is a settled question.
While the game can be "addicting", it is mostly because it is fun to play. Not all "addicting" forms of entertainment need elevated ratings because they are fun to consume. We don't increase the ratings for binge worthy TV shows and we don't restrict books if they are page turners, so why should we with a video game. At some point people need to regulate the use of their time themselves.
Article 1, sec. 8, clause 1: The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States; . . .
And the tenth amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
Such a law as you propose would be unconstitutional and the state government could not protects its citizens from the consequences that would come from withholding their taxes. While we're talking about taxes here, the tenth amendment is also what protects citizens in deep red states from their oppressive state governments (despite their best efforts).
Your comment made me wonder what taxes the federal government collects from state governments. As far as I can tell, the IRS does not collect from state governments, but does collect from the residents and businesses of a state.
So while I agree that these states should fight back, I don't think they have any payments that they could withhold. I hope they find a variety of other ways to fix this though.
I hate to defend Disney here, but based on the evidence presented by this article (maybe the actual filing is better) this is hard to see as plagiarism.
Both stories are based on the same cultural stories, so they automatically have similarities there. Maui typically uses a hook in those stories, so of course that is a common element. A portal in a whirlpool is a known trope: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PortalPool
Monster in a mountain is obviously a trope (e.g. Smaug, etc).
A law firm capable of handling such a suit would probably bill at a rate of $2000/hr, or more.
If your numbers are right, then they could afford to pay for 20 hours of work. That's probably not enough to even file the suit. Again, this assumes your numbers are right but even if they were 10x this it may still not make sense to file a suit.
Unfortunately, I don't think the math works out in their favor.
In my experience, tung oil can take up to a month to fully cure.
If you used pure tung oil, then it will likely take that long. Cutting it with orange oil can help a bit next time.
The only thing you can do now to speed it up is to keep it somewhere warm. However, it has probably cured enough that you could start using it now. Just give it another wipe down.
What if we did something to the virus so that it couldn't make us sick, but still made our bodies thing we were sick?
