I don't know him or this case, but lawyers tend to often feel that way about the cases they are representing. I wouldn't think that means he's not billing.
It's ubiquitous in some regions in the US. I suspect where it's not is both very mild climates where you hardly ever use it, and severe cold where until recently heat pumps were not sufficient. Also probably old buildings.

This is a real problem, but I suspect the reason is more laziness than increasing power. That's no score card on number of classified documents one has access to.
Rather, it is time consuming and risky to determine classification level. No one is going to get in trouble for mistakenly over classifying something, but theoretically risks jail and fines for under classifying a document, not to mention the real harm that could arise from such an error.

This!
I once had the opportunity to work on a project with DoD folks to help them write software to speed up the declassification process.
I was astonished by the current manual process. Imagine a decision tree 50 pages long that you have to apply by hand to each sentence of a document to determine what can be unclassified or not.
These were such nice people and overwhelmed by the work and genuinely trying to make it better so more information could be declassified, faster.
I realized it was a hopeless task. The only real solution is to move toward a world where next to nothing needs to be classified. To do more in the open. That needs to be the vision. Laws need to be adjusted so that these crazy complicated rubrics don't need to be created at all.
[The end of the story is I opted not to join that project. LLMs provide at least some hope that they can make it somewhat better, lacking the changes at the legal and organizational level that I mentioned]
It's important to realize the vast majority of people will not get to that certain point. Sure, you may not want to be as large as some of the famous body builders, but don't worry! That takes living your entire life organized around the central goal of getting bigger. If you are going to the gym for an hour 3 days a week you will never get to that point.
Crows tend to also be game animals, so states manage the populations and set bag limits, seasons, etc. In my state it is definitely legal, and one doesn't even need HIP registration.
Could you point me to something on a government site I'm missing? Only info I've seen is on SEO spam sites with content likely generated by an algorithm
>(I) It shall be unlawful for any person to hunt or take crows at any time except on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from June 3, 2022 through March 5, 2023 and from June 2, 2023 through March 3, 2024, one-half hour before sunrise to sunset.
Airgun would be sufficient for crows and squirrels, is safer to use in densely populated areas, and comes with less regulation everywhere. Still a good idea to check game regulations on your targets though.
Is this policy for a specific kind of Amazon account? I didn't recall seeing anything in the TOS, and they appear to have first class support for people with multiple accounts.
