Takings

A quick definition of Takings:

A taking is when the government takes someone's private property for public use. This can happen in two ways: physically taking the property or restricting the owner's rights so much that it's like a physical seizure. The government can only do this if they give the owner fair compensation. Sometimes, a government regulation can also be considered a taking if it infringes on private property ownership too much. The government must pay the market value of the property they take, but there are exceptions. The government doesn't have to pay for the portion of the property's value that they created.

A more thorough explanation:

A taking occurs when the government takes private property for public use. This can happen in two ways: physical taking, where the government seizes the property, or constructive taking, where the government restricts the owner's rights so much that it becomes the same as a physical seizure. The government has the power to take private property through eminent domain, but they must provide just compensation to the property owner according to the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution.

For example, if the government wants to build a new highway and needs to take a piece of land from a private owner, they must pay the owner the fair market value of the land. This is to ensure that the owner is not unfairly deprived of their property without proper compensation.

There are different types of takings, including regulatory takings, which occur when the government restricts a person's use of their property to the point of it being a taking. For example, if the government passes a law that prohibits a property owner from using their land for any purpose, it could be considered a regulatory taking.

The government can only take private property for public use, and the public use requirement is broadly interpreted to include actions that increase the general public welfare. However, there are limits to the government's takings power, and the Supreme Court has developed a 4-part test to determine whether a regulation is considered a taking.

If the government regulation is deemed a taking, the appropriate remedy is compensatory damages, which means just compensation. This is to ensure that the property owner is fairly compensated for their loss.

You just have to be smart and accept your choices, I know some people will believe a casual hook up or FWB is a regular exclusive thing. Communication is key if you are playing it that way but it is very dangerous to have multiple partners at the same time in a non-exclusive way

Crazy story, I had dinner with the dad of a friend of mine and he just openly went on Tinder in front of me and the other guys. Later my mom ran into him with another woman (not his wife/friend's mom) and he got very uncomfortable and never texted her again

I keep my dating very clean and above board. No overlaps, no ambiguities. If you want to go into some sort of public office in the future it's good to be smart about things like that

So many politicians have sex scandals and that's how they get blackmailed and other people have power over them. I mean of course there are ethical and emotional issues too but it's literally just smart to not be a cheater
