"New Jersey's governor Christie has decided that all new motor vehicles must be sold through middlemen. This blocks Tesla from directly selling cars, without traditional car sellers. Although, New Jersey decided so this week, they are in good company: 48 states in the US ban or restrict direct car sales."

"it'd be nice if we had "community hang-out centers" where people could go and spend a few hours using WiFi, meeting other people, enjoying a quiet, peaceful environment while still being around other people, without a lot of pressure to spend a lot of money."
Maybe I missed some snark, but you must mean "libraries" which, admittedly, are being squeezed. They just need coffee, hipster music, and comfortable seating from Sweden.

Libraries can be used this way, but not well. There's a lot of problems: 1) you're not supposed to talk in them (though that's not usually enforced well these days), 2) the seating isn't very comfortable (usually just open tables and hard chairs, not a place to relax), 3) drinks and food aren't allowed, and 4) they mostly seem to be used these days as poor peoples' internet cafes (and these people frequently bring in their ill-behaved kids, breaking rule #1).
