Is there a judiciary that determines whether the mob was within their rights to light your restaurant on fire, and can stop the mob from lighting the restaurant on fire?
Even if you think the FCC is just an extension of trump(fair) at this moment, their rulings aren't the final word. They still need to follow the law. If the FCC improperly attempts to withhold a license from the affiliate, the affiliate can sue and let federal judges, who are not an extension of trump, decide on the matter.

Which will take years to settle and you're paying fees upon fees. Or you can kiss ass and get it rubber stamped.
That's why corruption can be so corrosive: it's the "easy" way through the problem.
I'm glad you're getting healthier, but what are the odds that all of your theories have any basis in reality, after spending , I'm guessing, years or decades living an unhealthy lifestyle.
Like, do you really think your tongue position is affecting your facial and jaw structure? I'm guessing you believe in "mewing", and every before/after image I have seen has just been a joke.
By "a period in the nineties", you mean "since the nineties", right? So basically for the past 35 years North Korea has been heavily lagging in life expectancy.
Another way to put that is it's been 75 years since Korea split, and half that time North Korea has been much worse than south Korea.
Let's not even get into what that chart would look like if humanitarian aid wasn't shipped during those famines.
In that chart I see one clearly identifiable famine, after which the life expectancy started rising again. Can you perhaps take a copy and mark out the other famines?
North Korea infamously refuses foreign aid, do you have a source that describes more in detail the aid you're referring to?
Life expectancy in the northern portion of Korea was higher than in the southern portion up until the point the US bombed 2/3 of all buildings in the northern portion.
Activity might not be a directly efficient way to lose weight, but (imo) increased activity leads to increased willpower to make healthy eating choices.
Inactivity (not our human default) comes with such a host of health issues, that even if activity had no bearing on weight, it would still be a no brainer to do it.
Waste of space: Not really? The plot of land the building is on is ~ 1/3rd of an acre. Immediately adjacent to it are multiple street level-only parking lots that have a larger footprint. I guess providing parking to 60 cars is more useful than an empty building, but not by much, especially considering the building will probably be rehabbed eventually. For reference the LACC 1 block away has parking for 6000 cars, and done in a reasonable, space-efficient manner (multilevel underground parking).
Waste of money: Whose money? The developers? Sure. But it isn't like random tax paying citizens of LA had any kind of stake in it.
What exactly is the story? "These people suck at building buildings"? Surely, the incompetent managers wish they didn't screw it up and turn their idea into a money pit.
"Under the broken windows theory, an ordered and clean environment, one that is maintained, sends the signal that the area is monitored and that criminal behavior is not tolerated. Conversely, a disordered environment, one that is not maintained (broken windows, graffiti, excessive litter), sends the signal that the area is not monitored and that criminal behavior has little risk of detection."
Improving and more importantly maintaining the environments where people live does reduce crime. Most of the problems people have with broken windows theory is how it has been used to justify excessive policing that victimized people instead of improving things for them.
I don't know if STIR/SHAKEN is just not implemented widely enough to matter, or if it's just ineffective, but I have seen no changes as a result of it.
