The penalty is for all revenue made, not all profit made. So they still lost money on this product with R&D, production, etc. expenses.

While he was in politics he also dropped some insanely good political ads. All around legend.

The law allows you to shoot anyone who is trespassing on your property (which is absolutely terrifying). It's not specific to illegal immigrants and couldn't be used on someone else's property. So shooting a rancher on their property would still be illegal.

Plastic is polyethylene, which is a long chain of repeating ethylene molecules. To make it biodegradable they just put starch molecules in the chain every so often.

A lot of plastic is polyethylene, but nowhere near all of it. There are plenty of polymers that can break down naturally, mostly polyesters like PLA (which breaks down into lactic acid, the same naturally produced compound that causes muscle soreness after workouts). A lot of work is being put into making PLA have better material properties so it can replace more of the conventional plastics. It's also generally made from corn and can be pretty close to carbon-neutral. So long story short some biodegradable plastics are worse, but some have legitimate applications and are genuinely better than current options.

In addition to what the other commenter said, this case took place in California where abortion is fully legal and constitutionally protected. Not to minimize what's going on in other states of course, but you're comparing apples to oranges with that statement.

Interestingly, a Mexican cartel did something very similar for their comms network about 13 years ago (source)

Soldiers seized 167 antennas, more than 150 repeaters and thousands of cellphones and radios that operated on the system. Some of the remote antennas and relay stations were powered with solar panels.

So he typically advertises for VPNs? I don't understand.

He "typically" discusses interesting places/people. In the first 5 or so seconds of the video he discusses a fictitious person and how they "weren't protected from viruses, but you could be with a VPN". So he transitions from his typical video style to a VPN ad to then highlight all of the things wrong with VPN ads.

The opening scene is a parody of his typical videos (which are typically about places/people) transitioning into a VPN ad segment. The fact that it isn't about a real person means that it is not in fact from one of his real videos. If you watch the opening scene and read the pinned comment on the video my reply might make more sense.

This is inaccurate, read the pinned comment on the video where he points out that the opening scene is entirely made up and isn't about a real person.

GIS might be Google Image Search in this case, though I haven't seen it abbreviated like that before.
