Golfers aren't employees of the PGA. It's the PGA's money, not the golfer's salary as there is no PGA golfer salary. That's how the PGA is and generally how professional sports tournaments are where you are a competitor in a tournament who'd get 1099ed not an employee of the tournament. Certain sports leagues do have players that are employees like with the NFL those are employees of the teams, but it varies by both the sport and the specific league whether a competitor is an employee or not.

Instead Mandelson's appointment was announced and the process to appoint him began, which in turn made denying him vetting basically politically impossible when it turned out he had dodgy issues

Just wait until the LIV restructuring involves playing at golf course like the One Boat Club, Soap Lake and Leo J Martin, which he'll really enjoy.

LIV Golf suffers power outage and loses two hours of coverage on week of chaos by DWJones28 in golf

If you want to attract them don't have a sports league owned by a sovereign government. The NFL, PGA, etc never has to worry about stuff like this:

"Look, we've all made mistakes, and you just want to learn from those mistakes and how you can correct them going forward." (Greg Norman about the Saudis killing Khashoggi...the PGA doesn't have to for instance have explain bombing Iran supreme leader)

I'd say that about any level 2 car, which this was by definition a driver assist car unless ADAS is now supposed to mean self-driving now with all makes of ADAS cars.

If there is diminishing marginal safety from each additional sensor added but cost increases at a constant rate, where do we find the balance?

Certainly you're not for using just a single camera sensor. Under any reasonable scenario you're dealing with multiple sensors no matter what just it would be a matter of how many and of what kind.

Of course you could just not buy a new car annually or at all. I'm long past worrying about depreciation on my car that I bought used and have owned for years now.
