Food Allergies require knowing what you eat. If they put peanut DNA into a tomato then people will die from eating tomatoes, not knowing it's actually part peanut. This isn't something you can see or predict. Nobody with a peanut allergy would question eating a tomato, it's an unknowable hazard.
You could pay for the wall with adverts for American products and jobs, available once the Mexicans bribe the "Honest" American guards to let them through (just like how the Mongols bypassed the great wall of China).
People are willing to pay more for "Natural" foods. If they label it, they have to sell at a discount. The entire point of GMO foods is to increase profit margins, and selling at a discount ruins that. The Lie that GMO foods will end world hunger needs to die. Third world farmers can't afford GMO anything, and western farmers have their production levels limited to protect prices.
Guest workers are common in the third world, looks like the USA wants to join that club. Does deliberately destroying your countries economy count as treason? Loyalty to your country means more than saluting the flag and reciting a pledge of allegiance on command.
Why doesn't the US government spec out a secure phone? They can specify the hardware and software and ensure it meets all their needs perfectly. And then have some (friend of the government) contractor make half a million of them (for a high price).
Governments don't spend money without cause. Yes pork and pet projects are cause, but when the current government carries on the project of the former one you know it's an important cause. We need to find out why the government is afraid of us.
You are confusing the ability to automatically monitor people with the government paying attention to our actions. If they paid attention to everyone they would have caught the 911 attackers, all the pieces were in government databases. For the sake of national defense, the government needs to focus their spying: more tree and less forest.
Apple has the ability to run arbitrary code on every iphone in the world, at will. They don't need your pin code, they can just install spyware in your phone.
We need to update the outer space treaty to allow colonies. Once that happens we can start planning manned inter-planetary missions. Inter-planetary colonies and asteroid mining are the only two missions people are willing to pay for, and the Republicans would never allow NASA to compete with private enterprise for the mining riches.
Government data belongs to the taxpayers (us), and therefore must be stored in open (fully documented) file formats to prevent it getting lost or stuck behind paywalls.
Owning the means of production sounds like collective ownership (Communism), and is likely to be as workable a solution (not). If your means of production is a factory that needs 500 men to run, you can't own the whole thing- it must be divided up. Meaning a Collective(Communism) or Corporation(Capitalism).
I see no difference between this and a debit card system. It's a Government issued and maintained currency, complete with police and government spying.
1-There have been credible claims they could take the IC apart and extract the pin code directly. 2-It is likely that the NSA would benefit greatly from having Apple's signing code, so we should assume they already have it. Now since this is a Terrorist! case the FBI should expect NSA cooperation in the matter.
Possibly an example will make you see the logic failure in you statement. "The grade 10 teacher will fail any female student who won't sleep with him."
Governments, corporations, and groups of people need to communicate securely. Quantum crypto breaking destroys the one way math based crypto systems but other systems still exist and will still be secure. Given the low cost of bulk data storage we might consider moving to one time pads.
The Dogfighting ability of an F18 is limited by the pilot, the Dogfighting ability of an F35 is limited by the overweight airframe. Once you switch your anti-aircraft missiles to use the UHF radio spectrum where F35 stealth doesn't work you realize the F35 is a less capable aircraft.
Car makers are not forced to retro-actively install airbags in the cars they have already sold. Making airbags mandatory for cars in the future gives car makers the choice of making compliant cars.
1-There are documented examples of the government doing things on time and under budget. The many state wide bans on funding of municipal WIFI proves that. 2-Mandating open standards so we can easily drop a supplier is an excellent idea. I think we should start with the Microsoft Doc format.

Very little research has been done on GMO foods, and most of it was done by the companies selling it.

Does the court judge have authority to violate copyright? Copyright comes from the Constitution, not some local law.

The whole point of banking credentials is so you can trust them. If the NSA wants to justify all their spying, this would make a good case to work on.
Disney directly replaced their IT staff with H1B workers and nothing happened to them.

The entire point of the H1B visa program is to export American jobs. Offering the workers a way out would undermine that.

If they can't say no, then they can't ask for money.

The board of directors should be liable to prison time for the crimes of the corporation, unless they can prove due diligence to avoid it.
