Republicans know that Reagan proved deficits don't matter, but cynically and hypocritically drum up fear of debt when Democrats are in the White House. And Democrats, pussies that they are, fall for it.
You're dreaming. In the US, the Fed creates money to backstop banks, and contrary to quantity theory of money predictions, inflation decreases and the dollar gains strength. Now the Fed should create money and transfer it directly to individuals.
The government should not be run for profit. The government should be an alternative to markets, provide a safe haven for those who want to do things because they're interested in advancing knowledge, not selling something. Space exploration is in the General Welfare, not only for the 1%.
There are better ways than censorship. Bomb detecting equipment. I always thought smoke detectors are the answer to someone yelling "Fire!" in a crowded theater. Check the sensors instead of immediately panicking?
Get it all out in the open. If someone wants to kill themselves, let them make it known. Then do-gooders like the person in this article can talk them out of it. If the person can't be convinced by any argument you can think of, let them proceed in a civilized, legal, controlled manner which allows them to abort the suicide procedure at any time.
The measures described cause lots of collateral damage: what if I want to walk on the bridge for exercise, to see the scenery? Why should my freedom be restricted? If you gave the would-be bridge-jumper a legal, abortable, civilized option, they wouldn't need the bridge anyway.
There is a way around 1kw/m^2: multiple exciton generation. One photon generates more than one electron so current is more than the incoming light generates without the MEG techniques. The 1kw/m^2 value is based on one photon-one electron.
"Note that in the event of multiple exciton generation (MEG), quantum efficiencies of greater than 100% may be achieved since the incident photons have more than twice the band gap energy and can create two or more electron-hole pairs per incident photon."
Keep increasing the generated electron-hole pairs per photon, and you get an efficiency over 100%. Sorry, Kelvin!
It was absolutely certain to Lord Kelvin that heavier-than-air flying machines would never happen. Then it did, but he had died a year before. So I guess he was right, in a way, for himself; but not for the rest of us.
The words are just symbols. The emotions you attach to them are your own. The problem is projection: "the only way I could say that is if I were a bad person. Therefore, the person who said it is a bad person." But that psychological logic forgets humor, lies, and bots.
More free speech, leading to more virtual violence, should reduce the need for physical violence. We should be fighting ISIS's words on social media, not trying to ban them.
Those restrictions are wrong, too. Is this an "everyone does it so it must be okay" argument? Just because the private sector restricts speech does not mean government should, and we the people should change our government so it is more transparent by voting a lot of market-oriented bums out.
In Bangladesh, the coastline is receding with no bailouts, and people move to cities which have no infrastructure. The humane solution is precisely more creation of public money, and education. Your market solution creates a lot of unnecessary misery, because ideology.
Capitalism can and should be sandboxed, so its insatiable hunger for liquidity doesn't affect billions when the gambling schemes go wrong, as in the most recent financial crisis. We should create more public money to backstop the living standards of individuals, instead of the bonuses of corporate traders.
Adam Smith wrote that a man had a right to sell his labor. What protected that right during the slavery period, in the US? Capitalism needs something outside of it, because capitalism alone has no morality and perversely incentivizes lying and other sociopathic behavior.
In Venezuela, people create markets in commodities like toilet paper, just because they can, creating inflation. They are inserting themselves as middlemen driving up prices. It would be better to have a first-come-first-served policy in cases of shortage, or rationing. Capitalism just creates inflation, and don't forget about slavery.

That's why formal languages are so much less evolutionarily fit than natural languages.

But the Fed is the issuer, and returns interest to the Treasury. Hence, zero cost funding.

But isn't law enforcement already monitoring everyone, all the time? How come they have unlimited resources for that?

This is why public servants work for the public, and why the government should not be run like a corporation. Vote those Florida bums out.
Not the Koch brothers, though. And one wishes Walker was banned from pushing his mouth-breather political views on us.
Build that housing on a fault line! All geology is permanent and local!
Sounds like faith-based reasoning.
Think of it like the Family Values Council chairman practicing homosexuality, or "fair and balanced" meaning neither.

So China stagnated because it redistributed knowledge about the compass and gunpowder?
I thought anyone can self-publish on the internet these days? Unless the capitalists trying to kill net neutrality get their way, of course.

Don't forget state money creation on an unprecedented scale, and a high tolerance for non-performing loans.

China's present looks like America's past.
