Sounds like the submitter is suggesting that actually building green is something politics is hostile to.
I would imagine that all the lobbyists from polluting industries don't like green tech either. Big Oil for example would throw a fit if renewable energy got any sort of foothold in the economy...at least until they got patents on it.
Someone fucked with the election, Khameni called it 'divine will" and promptly instituted a crackdown where "people who continue to protest the results do so at the risk of their own lives" by pretty much declaring it apostasy to dissent.
True enough, however the money would still be coming out of the USPTO's budget for that year, and indirectly the salaries/perks of the examiners it employs.
The devblog entry announcing the change emphasized that PLEX could be destroyed just like any other item and that there would be NO REFUNDS for their destruction.
Long made short, they knew damn well this could happen, so they probably aren't going to reverse the patch. What I'm more worried about is dev-players with a vested COI deliberately targeting PLEX carrying ships.
Naturally since I'm not an MD you have every right to laugh.
But considering the typical corporate trend to rake in profits and stomp all over the consumer in almost every other industry, would you be surprised if I was telling the truth?

Maybe the part where arbitrary confiscation of personal property is an accepted part of society?
And straight to jail IMHO.
Simple.
Make it a crime to make a false rescue call.
It's already a federal offense in the USA to send a bogus Mayday call for example. It can get you a $250,000 fine and 6 years in club fed.
Just throw the fuckers in jail if they can't keep their trigger-happy thumbs off the emergency button.
A tenant has the right to quiet and peaceful enjoyment of his property, which includes basic privacy.
Installing surveillance in tenant private areas would most likely constitute a breach of the implied warranty of habitability.

Sadly, their constituents would never go for it. Neither would their lobbyists.
Other than that it's an excellent idea.
It's a real shame that it would be political suicide to even suggest this.
If it gets that valuable then either someone will steal it or you'll be spending a dozen times that amount just in security.
I'd rather invest it in stocks and bonds in the meantime.
No but the justice system sure as hell can be more careful about issuing the damn things in the first place.
I'd hardly call it polite when they've got a big stick behind it.
They tried that.

What if Allah's will is that you keep your eyes peeled and wants you to use the good brains he gave you?
Yo dawg...

Legal?
Pardon the pun, but the jury's still out on that one.
Don't you mean confidential?
Espionage perhaps?
For starters her status as a CIA operative was compromised and soon afterward her face was made public.
Any undercover operations she was involved in almost certainly went in the crapper if any of the bad guys recognized her.
On top of that, she lost her job.
Anyone wanting to expose her as a spook should take these facts into consideration.
There is no statute of limitations when it comes to a fraud upon the court, which includes knowingly withholding evidence.
Considering that there are 256 values possible for a given byte that's not quite as useless as one would think.
I prefer blocking the site serving the ads.
You can't.

There's a pretty serious conflict of interest if CCP developers doubling as players ever got bribes from their bosses to destroy PLEXes
The long and short of it NOW is that SA goons can start measuring their griefing damage in cold...hard...cash.
