Sure. Even those not involved in those crimes can feel the effects of police being used to persecute the perpetrators of victimless crimes. For drugs more-so than the traffic perhaps (though much of the traffic enforcement is egregious too).
Of course, this would mostly require legislative changes rather than changes to operating procedures of the police themselves so probably not much hope of that in the near term.
"Corrupt" doesn't even have to be as bad as the word implies. Simply that cops are incentivized to help get convictions rather than to ensure that justice is served is enough. It's an unfortunate side-effect of the metrics-obsessed society we're currently living in (though it has always been there to a degree)
Indeed, I had a lawyer decline to represent me in court because of what I had said to the cop when stopped (basically a confession of a lesser offense than what the ticket was for). Likely the lawyer would not have been able to do much for me but it was an option that was denied me because I had not declined to provide the minimum information I was required to give.
OK. What you say is correct. But the removal of the coins *is* the deflation, it doesn't cause it as such.
As to whether it will cause an increase in price, that's a different matter. It would likely cause some but there are many Bitcoins not in circulation that will come into play with a price increase so the effect is mitigated somewhat.
Or maybe the richer states will end up wasting a greater proportion of their money, causing companies and people to move to where the tax burden is less and waste smaller.
Am I right? Are you right? With the federal government smothering everything, it's hard to know.
Yes, they certainly do. The rights precede government or there would never be any progress in recognizing those rights. If Rosa Parks had a right to sit at the front of the bus, it was not predecated on the passing of the civil rights bill.
Never mind that many governments do not even pretend to be about representing the people. They have simply been the ascension of those who have been most successful in applying force. The constitution of the US government is quite explicit that it is is designed to prevent the politicians from intruding on pre-existing rights by putting it in a box, not simply a device to carve out an enclave of "recognized rights". Read the 9th. It's very much neglected.
You have an inherent right to go where you please (without trespassing, or possibly even with) and free association. It's just that governments restrict that.

The current implementation is that way. If the community feels it needs to smaller subdivisions, it can.

I don't think you understand deflation.
The price has been fairly stable over that period. It fell a bit on the news but has mostly recovered.
There's not much chance of *all* of it disappearing it that way and the currency is infinitely divisible if required. There will always be enough.
Though that is on the features list for Windows 9.
That does suck. But lay down with the dogs...

Do you have any idea when the President will submit a budget as required by law?
First?
How does it differ, in concept, from places such as this?

I cut it with a piano wire then embed it in concrete and throw it in the river.
I may be doing something wrong.

What's a meta for?
It does now.
True. Which is why it's annoying that people insist on traveling it.
I'd imagine it would be of similar dimensions to the device they use to take a cast of your teeth. That has never given me any issues.
At least they don't check you in automatically. Though I'm sure that's next.
I want to see it take a direct lightning strike.
Whoosh
Of course there is. Born in America? You're a native American.

It depends. Do you make money from the prison industry?
