An aging population would increase the average lifespan of the population, because all those who die young make up a smaller percent of the total population.
The right wing bias of the media at work once more. Strange how having the media owned and run by the 1% crowd results in hiding stories that undermine business.
Getting free money from government is not the same as government control. Just ask the banks. The government is not setting laws or regulating the medical industry. They have the power but chose not to use it.
Subsidies only drive up prices if you don't impose cost controls, as ALL profitable businesses do. Eliminating health insurance will kill any poor person who gets seriously sick or injured, as they can't pay and can't borrow and hospitals won't treat for free. Desperate people do desperate things. If the choice is rob the rich or watch your kid die, most poor people will target the rich. If you want a stable country you must ensure the poor have just enough so they don't need to do that.
Countries with For Profit healthcare ALWAYS have a lower life expectancy, and they always spend more per capita. Maximizing for profit means higher cost and worse results.
History shows that more competition leads to better products and services. Eliminating net neutrality reduces competition, thereby increasing profit margins and reducing product evolution and the introduction of new features, thereby leading to foreign competition eating your lunch, so it's bad for your industry.
I think America's train will reach the station first. Once they go broke the Federal and State governments will disband, leaving the army and police to form feudal countries from America's ashes.
Trump got elected because the voters wanted change at any cost. Gun owners don't make up a large enough fraction of the voters to swing an election. https://www.washingtonpost.com...
It perfectly achieves the goal of those who want the spying. Telling the ministers they are "exempt" from the spying is cheaper than bribing them to pass this law.
Russia isn't that different from the USA, they make natural allies just like including Germany and Japan in NATO was a natural move after WW2. It's always Us against Them, this is just more of the same.
Saudi-Arabia pays good money to have the US government pay attention to them. The Iraq invasion wasn't about oil, it was about destroying the competition and keeping the oil kingdom safe from invasion.
1-It is entirely possible to make your own bank. A group of poor people could easily manage it, provided they didn't offer loans. In a cashless society they could provide basic banking transactions using your cellphone at minimum cost. The big banks would have to match the prices or lose that market. Something will have to be done, as banks hate dealing with the poor.
2-A cashless society can just as easily use a foreign currency as the local one. It's just bits in a computer and the computer is global.
As the collection gets bigger they will be under financial pressure to delay the updating as long as possible. Eventually that will lead to unrecoverable bit rot and stuff will be lost. We need to spend the money and make a good long term archive medium.
And it takes 1 gallon of oil to make 1 gallon of ethanol, so you're not doing the environment any favours. If you switched to pure ethanol made by solar and wind power (and coal) at least you'd have a fully domestic fuel source.
People voted for Obama because he promised change. His failure to deliver crippled the Democrats, and Hillary successfully portrayed herself as a corrupt tool of the man. A lot of Americans are feeling desperate, and desperate people do desperate things. I wish there had been a third option, as the people would have gone for that instead of this disaster in the making.
The difference between Islam and Christianity, Christians ignore all the parts of their "Holy Scripture" they disagree with and everyone is ok with that.

Worrying about America upholding a treaty or deal is a reasonable concern.

I'm sure the money they get paid by police/NSA more than pays for the loss of customers.

That's alright, the provider of your OS will be compelled to "update" your machine to provide them your code keys.

I see no evidence Trump is a stealth tyrant, he's been very open about what he's willing to do to others.

After all the times Trump went broke and got help to restart, you think he doesn't owe a few favours?
Believe nothing a politician says during an election.
The difference between Islam and Christianity, Christians ignore all the parts of their "Holy Scripture" they disagree with and everyone is ok with that.
The cost of an election is a function of length. Other countries limit the election duration to a more reasonable time like 2 months.
The Democrats gave money to a third party to challenge the vote so they could keep their hands clean.
