Absolutely none of that changes the fact that you can't simply take leaders at their word.If anything, it underscores that point. Leaders will happily say whatever they think will be popular as an excuse for actions they think might otherwise be unpopular.
The South might have fought to keep slavery, but if the north gave a rip about the ethics of slavery, slavery would have been abolished IN THE NORTH. That doesn't in any way make slavery OK, it just means that it is wrong to characterize the Civil way as some sort of clash between good and evil.
For what it's worth, SOME leaders in the North were likely in it for ethical reasons, but they didn't have sufficient backing to pull that off until some years later.
Except that for years, the oil companies worked hard to give everyone the impression that the CO2 was harmless even while their own research suggested otherwise.
Had the oil companies been up-front about the risks and benefits as they understood them at the time, your argument might hold water.
Not really. Racers choose their gear based on their need for instant acceleration. When they do that, they trade a little fuel economy for the ability to overtake with no delay.
If you're doing that in traffic, you're a danger to yourself and others.
Beyond that, more and more automatics actually have a CVT these days. Good luck adding enough gears to a manual to approximate that.
Apparently, your GMC has exceptionally bad design in the brakes. In most vehicles, I would say 50 pounds will do the job. If you can't apply 50 pounds, you can't stand up. Admittedly, that could be a problem for some people (who, indeed, can't stand up), but they can use the hand brake to assist them.
Not exactly FINE control, just not panic. If you overshoot, just turn it back. It requires no more calmness than press and hold the start button for 3 seconds, and unlike the start button, cannot fail.
You do have brakes when you shut the engine off. You even have power assist for the first pump or so before the booster bleeds down.
I have actually had the throttle stick on a car before, and it wes before cars had rev limiters. That is, put it in neutral, floor it and BOOM! I was able to get it pulled over and shut off just fine.
You really should give such situations some thought and even practice them so you won't panic if the situation actually presents itself. None of these things need to cause a panic.
Except it doesn't. If the wheel is hard against the lock, turn it the other way and the lock will release. But in general, if you're in a situation like the man in TFA, do whet he did to come to a stop (brake against the engine while pulling over), then switch the car off. At that point, there is no vehicle travel and steering locked is not an issue.
It beats having to put it in park or neutral and let the engine rev to the limiter until it runs out of gas (or you disconnect the battery if you have the tools).
But the point is to have a mechanism that physically powers the car down. Old style ignition locks have that intrinsically. Cars with a start button need something. It could also be an emergency switch or link you can pull out, but it needs to be something that doesn't depend on a program deciding that the user signaled to shut off.
That isn't universally true. Some information may be NDA or proprietary. Some information captured through questionable means could get you in a lot of hot water if you publish it. Also information you get under a false pretense may not be yours to publish.
The yellowcake was existing supplies (that they had no ability to enrich), not the new imports that the Bush administration claimed. Yellowcake, BTW is just natural uranium seperated from from ore. Without further difficult processing, it's not even useful in a dirty bomb. The chemical weapons were old and decayed, not actually usable. Much like the stock the U.S. still has.
That's why the official "reason" for GW][ kept changing.
Yes, there was a great deal of private collusion. That was not the publicly given reason. It was not a play on the greed of the average citizen, it was a play on the greed of huge corporations. It was just another case of the greedy causing huge damage and leaving everyone else to pay the bill.
Not actually. In racing, shifting with knowledge of the driver's intention matters since fractional seconds matter. If you're driving like that in traffic, you deserve to lose your license.
And likewise to be 30, living with your parents (with your child) and contributing NOTHING to the household. Not money, not housework, not yard work, NOTHING.
And a lot more who CAN just don't want to. It's been a while since a human driver could actually make better shifting decisions than an automatic other than when racing.
It's dead simple to find proof it was about slavery; they stated it openly and on the record many times.
Perhaps, but you'll need to look a lot deeper. Remember, the Gulf war was about Iraq invading Kuwait and Gulf War ][ was all about the yellowcake^wchemical weapons^w^whumanitarian concerns.
You simply can't take leaders at their word without actual evidence.
For example, the Emanciopation Proclaimation quietly only applied the the southern states. Lincoln may well have wanted slavery abolished everywhere, but he didn't have enough political backing to pull it off in the part of America he was president of at the time.
There's a reason the ROM in the Apollo program was called "Little Old Lady Memory". The space suit liners were made by older seamstresses from Playtex.
As for microwaves, they weren't made in the U.S. for very long.
Actually, the excuse for Iraq was "They invaded Kuwait, we have to help them". The second time, it was "YELLOWCAKE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD YELLOWCAKE" (guess what was never found), followed with "OMG, CHEMICAL WEAPONS!!!" (also not found).
Many people, mostly younger protested from the beginning even while the media dutifully delivered the message that protesting the war was spitting on war heroes.
I don't recall "we'll steal their oil for you" being given as an excuse (at least not publically).
Of course that's even funnier considering that the U.S. is a net producer of oil.
I find it funny you talk about working hard on the subject of jobs not available. That sounds like people who WANT to work for a living but not finding a way to do it.
Certainly, greed is involved, but many of the victims aren't the ones with the greed. Instead, when they demand a level playing field, they are accused of greed in an attempt to shame them into accepting a slow decline to 3rd world conditions for the masses.
So, if YOU called 911 to report that there was someone in your house trying to kill you, you'd want the cops to hold off trying to stop that armed person until AFTER the intruder shot you in the head?
I would like for them to at least make sure the person was armed. Otherwise, they're as likely to shoot me as the bad guy.
Surely, if you called 911 telling them someone was trying to kill you, you would prefer that the cops not help HIM?
It's not the cities any more. Many if not most welcome multiple providers, In those places where there is more than one, the providers have privately marked out territories in order to not compete.
It's looking like it's going to requite a split-up like was done to AT&T. Once they were forced to allow alternative LD services to connect, LD rates dropped overnight.
Splitting things into a tightly regulated last mile service (or perhaps make last mile a municiple service), content, and other services should work well. It worked in the '90s when anyone could get a few phone lines and a T and become an ISP. Just make sure the last mile can reach a choice of colo centers and watch the fur fly.

As for taking my life back, it means that a 5 minute task I may need to perform in a few hours doesn't leave me stuck behind my workstation all day just in case.
The U.S. government is able to wage war on foreign soil.
But note that this is an issue with prisoners at Gitmo. The courts have found that they are entitled to due process and a trial, it's just being unconstitutionally ignored.
Also many things require licenses, IE places where it may be illegal for me to carry a handgun for protection, I can hire a off duty officer to do it for me.
There is a sublety you are hiring the cop to carry a handgun WITH a license. You can do that because if you had a license you would be allowed, and he does. The feds can't get a license to ignore the Bill of Rights.

If that goes mental, just turn the key back to unlock or on. Since you've already killed the engine, either position will do.
And likewise to be 30, living with your parents (with your child) and contributing NOTHING to the household. Not money, not housework, not yard work, NOTHING.
Of course, that may also go back to the parents.

There is an off position on many ignition locks that doesn't lock the steering.
From locked position, one click unlocks the wheel. Next click is the on position. Turn past on to engage the starter.

No one regulates the Linden Dollar - but the Linden Dollar does not leave the game, and is not convertible to hard currency.
Don't be so sure.
