Photons only travel at c in a perfect vacuum and since the universe is not a perfect vacuum, a short amount of time does pass in the photons frame of reference.
An arrest shouldn't mean a record as it can happen through bad luck like this case (I assume he made his deposit close in time to the fraudster). Until you've actually been convicted of a crime, you're innocent. Here in Canada, IIRC, they're supposed to throw out your fingerprints etc 6 months after charges are dropped or you're acquitted and the period for appeal is over.
Well the fine here is already $543 including the 4 points for a first offence, $888 for a second and 3-12 month driving ban after that. Not as high as some places but high enough to discourage people. Actually, my mistake, new fines (as of Mar 1st) include $2000 for a second offence within 2 years. First offence didn't change. I just keep my phone put away with fines like that, as well as not eating while driving and other forms of distracted driving. https://604now.com/new-distrac...
Yes, I mostly meant limiting donations, to individuals, parties and Super Pacs. There's other types of bribery as well such as the revolving door where politicians are promised (could just be implied) a good easy job after supporting the employers interests.
The problem is a disconnect between breaking the law and getting a ticket weeks later. If going the camera route, you'd need a lot of them and even with 75% being fake, you'd know a good chance of getting caught. Personally, I think having cops randomly around watching and ticketing would work much better then cameras but once again there has to be enough of them.
That's true, searching your physical body is about invasive as it gets. Imagine a country where the cops could just demand your blood and remove it. About as far from freedom as you can get. At least a phone can be treated like valuable papers, locked in the trunk or such.
Some believe the benevolent dictator is the best form of government and sometimes it does work well, but there is alway the succession problem. As for democracy having everyone involved, most people just don't have time to be informed about everything and are just as likely to be mis-informed.
Sure, since we're trying to save lives rather then raise revenue, no camouflage, and no film in most of the cameras, just working flashes. And signage everywhere you operate so people know to slow down and put down their phone. It's basically how it works here with red light cameras mostly being empty but rotated so you never know and the cops phoning in their speed traps.
Good. Sick of missing lights due to people looking at their phone and being slow to move when the light turns green. Worse is when they move because the left turn lane is moving. I just leave my phone in its case so I can't look at it.
That's basically how they enforce it here (BC), Cop standing beside the road looking and radioing their partner on the next block and also driving and watching. They catch lots but there's always more and you can't have a cop on every block.
Well here it is the government of Texas that is being talked about and I haven't noticed any suggestions of just moving to a different State. Politicians are always going to be open to being corrupted, which is the actual problem, and moving can only help so much as they'll be politicians wherever you move. At least with democracy you can change governments when they get too full of shit, which always seems to happen.
Most of those jobs can be done by a mobile mechanic though the suspension repair may need a trip to the alignment shop at the end. Source, I've done most of them at home with a jack and jack stands. For tires, there are fully equipped tire trucks and that is the way big trucks often get their tires fixed.
Of course it matters if you want to fix the problem. First you need to identify the problem. Which in this case seems to be corruption and not big government as you can have a really small government that does nothing but protect business interests. One possible fix might be to limit bribery, but that means intruding on peoples freedom.
Except the Supreme Court has ALWAYS been politicized, and they've managed to do a pretty good job.
Hmm, Amendments 1 and 2 for example are very straight forward and simple. Yet your Supreme Court has ruled that certain speech is not protected, so fine for Congress to pass laws about and has also ruled that in quite a few cases, the right to own and bear arms can be infringed.
Well, I don't know how much ditch diggers were paid prior to modern excavation and trenching equipment, but a modern excavator operator can make $50+ an hour, and is significantly less likely to suffer injury, and is significantly more likely to be obese....
You'd think, but actually operating that machinery is just hard on different parts of the body, in particular the back. Then there's the obesity, which is also a killer.
I know someone with a ditch digging company (putting in drainage). He has millions in equipment and makes a good living but not 50x, probably closer to 5x and you still have to jump in the ditch to square off the ends and deal with situations where the machines have problems. He can produce lots of nice ditches at the perfect slope though.
I know someone who has a ditch digging (drainage) company. He has a few millions in equipment and makes not a bad living (100-200,000 a year?) but isn't rich and pays his labourers about $15-$20 CDN an hour. It's still shitty work where you have to get your hands dirty regularly, often in shitty weather but he can sure produce compared to doing it by hand.
This article says the opposite, https://insideclimatenews.org/... with China slightly lowering its emissions over the last 4 years while America is back to increasing them. Unluckily it is really hard to find good info,as this article makes different claims, https://www.carbonbrief.org/an... Still, why don't you just say the rest of the world outputs more carbon then the relatively small USA so everyone else has to stop why we continue to burn shit like crazy

In Canada, it is supposed to be removed automatically after IIRC, 6 months.

Can you not elect a bench trial?

Here in BC, those are about the only scam calls I get on my cell phone. House phone is another matter though, most calls seem to be scams of some type

It's not even big government as a small government can still stop you from doing something.

Gas tanks have been sealed since at least the 80's, so in theory pressurizing shouldn't make a difference unless they're drying out the air somehow.
