The same can be said for Ohio. Both of them used to be swing states, and potentially could be again, but are not currently.
You should probably know that strangling someone is a strong indicator of a future murder attempt. Far more than other forms of battery.
You definitely need to consider your own safety, and those around you
They each have their own protection detail. Each will quickly move to protect the one they are responsible for, which will mean separating them (probably by a lot of distance).
Someone under SS protection can choose to waive it. There are some former presidents who deemed it unnecessary later in life.
No idea about the rest of your hypothetical
Sometimes. It was also frequently not connected to anything.
You're getting down voted because this entire thing is literally about the book he published.
Often there are contracts. Sometimes for a very long time, often multi-year. There are sometimes escape clauses (like a morality clause for a spokesperson), but these aren't easy to invoke.
I suspect many of them are up for annual review/renewal, when they can be terminated without penalty. It might also just be an attempt to get better terms.
FWIW, here is the US, the ground wire is often completely exposed. As in, no colored jacket, just the bare copper throughout the entire run. Attached to ground at the breaker box, and attached to any grounding ports or metal boxes throughout the building.
Shrinkflation is smaller quantities and/or higher prices. This is actually tracked in a variety of places.
Changing to a cheaper recipe/supplier is very hard to put metrics on, and isn't tracked anywhere that I know of
Companies do not fuck around when an AG comes around. Enough complaints, or complaints that are ignored, is a quick way to get sued by the AG. The AG's office has extensive resources to easily win in court, even getting your entire company's - including parent and children companies - banned across the entire state.
It's also pretty easy to get the AG involved. You have to provide a decent amount of supporting documentation, but most states have an online form you can file.
As an example, 20 years ago, a company tried to deny me a mail-in rebate. This was while my state AG was actively suing them for not paying rebates. I spent 30 minutes filling out the form with the required evidence. Receipts, etc. A month later I had my $15 rebate check, no additional questions asked.
Uber's insurance is pretty bad. Many get the additional coverage from their regular insurer anyway because of this. That coverage also (usually) applies to this situation as well.
Ain't no one approaching the T-800 to steal your wallet or anything. Curiosity, sure. But you don't look at that and think "easy target"
Now, if I've done something specific to be a target, I'm not sure it would be an effective bodyguard.
It's a sobering detail of our situation. In 2020, Trump really did receive more votes than any candidate in any previous election. That means a ton of people showed up to vote for him in 2020 that hadn't in 2016.
He frames it weird (and it sounded weird when he said it) because otherwise it raises the obvious point that Biden also achieved that same record, plus an extra 7 million votes.
