Edit ITT: People who desperately need to pick up a history book
You're the one arguing that people in positions of power shouldn't be held accountable if they abuse their power.

Not everyone feels drained by talking to people
And those people wouldn't be wearing this pin.
People that feel drained from socializing feel that way with everybody.
They have done nothing over the last 4 years if we are being honest.
So why were you supporting them last week?
Therefore you might accidentally buy a game without knowing you need it and can't just "not buy the game and move
Launch the game, see that it requires a sign in, refund the game because it doesn't have over 2 hours of play time.
It shows his blatant disinterest in fact checking or making the bare minimum effort to try to speak truthfully. He does not care if what he says is true, only if people will believe it.
‘If he sold today, that would be fraud,” said Pritchard on Friday. “The chance of lawsuit would be exceedingly high and even the SEC might decide it was worth a lawsuit.”
Add it to the pile. Maybe we'll get around to punishing him for one of these things in the next decade.
He’ll get screwed by the SEC if he sells after saying he won’t.
Oh, this is the thing he'll actually face consequences for?
A capitalistic system will maximize for one thing and one thing only: Profit.
If anything else improves, such as service, cost, or wait times, it will only by as a byproduct of increasing profit. If there are easier, faster, or cheaper ways of increasing profit (such as cutting staff and having ~~customers~~ patients wait longer) then those will be done instead. The FDA exists because otherwise capitalistic companies will put customers health and lives in danger because it is more profitable to do so and pay out potential lawsuits than it is to make sure safety regulations are in place in the first place.
The only way to maximize something other the profit, such as customer service, is through regulation. That is why monopolies are illegal: if a customer doesn't have a choice you can charge them as much as you want, and take as long as you want, and perform as poorly as you want, and they still have to use your service because they have no other choice. When a ~~customer~~ patient needs to go to the hospital they don't have the luxury of "shopping around", they have a medical emergency and need help now. So without regulation a profit motivated hospital can charge whatever they want, especially considering nobody discusses prices before doing life saving operations.
"lack of market freedom" is not the reason 1 Tylenol pill at a hospital costs you $15.
"Excessive regulation" is not the reason patients are charged $40 for crying.
"Lack of competition" is not the reason asking for an itemized bill will save you money. “It’s estimated that about 60 percent of medical bills that are issued have errors” (I can't think of any other industry that would consider that acceptable.)
What specific regulations would you remove from hospitals, and how would the absence of those regulations directly help ~~customers~~ patients?
The US is last place in the linked article while having the most profit driven hospital system of the countries compared. Making it even more profit driven is not going to improve the thing ~~customers~~ patients need improved.
The comment I originally addressed was on them buying land to stop it from being used
Right, and Elon is currently using it, not the US government. So your comment about Eminent Domain is a non sequitur.
The comment you originally addressed said nothing about the US government.
And how is that relevant to SpaceX using it illegally?
was all they needed to do because nobody would ever violate the law or ignore their rights.
They are suing the people who violated the law and ignored their rights right now. What should they have done instead?
