Age discrimination is frequently entirely legal. This ranges from not being able to rent a car until you're 25

This is where I stopped reading because if you can be so confidently wrong about this, then nothing else you post will be of any use to anyone reading it.

Yes, you CAN rent a car if you're under 25, it's just more expensive because of insurance liabilities.

Some rental companies allow it. Some don't. It probably has to do with the insurance they carry and past experience.

Restrictions renting cars, buying things, or living in certain places is not discrimination for the simple fact that they are privileges not rights. There are relatively few codified rights compared to privileges, and people tend to blur those lines as needed.

This is actually old news. The pirate station stopped broadcasting last December.

Link to the NAL: https://www.fcc.gov/document/15k-nal-walter-and-m-rae-nadler-olenick-pirate-operations

Notice of Apparent Liability

The NAL forfeiture (fine) is from 2014.

Each of the dates below generally include a "Pay within 30 days" order.


On August 12, 2013 the tower and station was located. The FCC noted that one of the building's owners had a bumper sticker advertising the pirate station. They located what was believed to be a "utility" room that the station operated from.

On September 6, 2013 the FCC told them to shut it down. $10,000 fine (which can be decreased by factors which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay).

On November 19, 2013 the FCC confirmed it was still in operation after sending multiple warnings. This increased the fine $5,000.


On March 5, 2014 the building owners filed a Petition for Reconsideration (how you get the fine lowered, see above). They claimed ownership of the station:

quote:

“As blatantly conspicuous to the world, we are the property owners, thus, the owners of the tower.” [/quote

And attempted some sovereign citizen magic spells, telling the FCC that
[quote]the [FCC] agent did not have “permission or consent to enter” the premises. They also stated that because they had no commercial nexus with “your company,” i.e., the Commission, they did not consent, directly or by any implication, to the Commission’s policies, procedures, or jurisdiction. They also implied that they do not consider themselves subject to the laws of the United States, because they stated they expect any future communications to come from the International Bureau only after a “treaty” to which they are “signators” is signed.

quote:

“You look at ‘Title 47’ and see 'evidence of law.' We look at the same compilation of words and see Monte Hall's, 'Let's Make a Deal!'. i.e., an offer. We decline your offer, as we have from the outset, and will forever decline your offer."

On June 3, 2014, the FCC issues the NAL for $15,000.

On July 1, 2014 the defendants try some more sov-cit magic spells.

On August 19, 2014 the FCC again told them their sov-cit nonsense doesn't work; pay up.

On November 21, 2014 the FCC tells them again that they've got 30 days to pay up, or they'll send it to the Department of Justice.

On September 8, 2014 they reply with some more sov-cit nonsense and claim they never sent the March 5 letter admitting to owning the station. They also say they plan to keep running the station.

[probably missing a response from the FCC here telling them they have 30 days yaddayaddayadda]

On December 3, 2014 they send the FCC some more sov-cit nonsense.

[missing a bunch of stuff here]

December, 2017 they stop broadcasting.


Some, probably, unrelated nuttery:

On January 18, 2017 they appeal: https://search.txcourts.gov/Case.aspx?cn=03-17-00036-CV&coa=coa03
This is full of more sov-cit magic spells right from the get-go: https://search.txcourts.gov/SearchM...ae-e12d3e339945

On November 10, 2017 the sov-cit pirates file a motion to dismiss their appeal. http://www.search.txcourts.gov/Sear...d7-d89b898c5a48

Wow, apparently in some states, you can even be 18! So Huh. How about that. None of these companies care, so long as you're over 21. Stop telling people you have to be 25 to rent a car. It's bullshit.

Was listening to a This American Life about a no legged high school wrestler. He ended up being number one in the state or something. The thing is, the opponents had no idea how to approach him. Center of balance is different, different style of fighting they’ve never seen or experienced etc.

They did have a whole thing about the weight class being skewed considering he had no legs to stand on.
