Ground based lasers are much cheaper, can be hidden, and can wipe out your orbital lasers before you even know you're under attack. They can also shoot down incoming cruise missiles and short range balistic missiles as well as ICBM's. Putting weapons in orbit is a disadvantage.
A quick add when you're distracted would essentially be subliminal advertising. It could then transition into elevator music style adds, just something in the background you don't really notice.
There is no practical difference (actions speak louder than words) between Democrat and Republican. A small but well financed group of Republican supporting "Democrats" (Pelosi, Hillary, Obama etc) has taken control of the party and ensures that ONLY the Republican Agenda sees the light of day. The sole purpose of the Democrat party is to bottle up the progressives and socialists and prevent them from having a voice in American Federal Politics.
You could shrink the US Federal government and give back all that power to the states, so the USA worked like the European Union. Like how America was designed by the founding fathers.
They need to implement end to end encryption, so nobody can see what they are doing. If you can't get your app on the iphone you'll jailbreak the iphone or get android. If you can't share your porn on tumblr you'll go elsewhere for that.
The reason chips get hot is because semiconductors resist electron flow and get hot. If these new transistors (tubes?) don't contain semiconductors then they won't generate the heat. Also metal can take the heat better than semiconductors, so you can run hot.
Clean Coal means you burn coal but capture the CO2. The reason it's not in use is disposing of the captured CO2 is more expensive than dumping it into the air. It's also more expensive than the sale price of the energy generated.
Hillary's problem is she's a right wing politician pushing a Republican agenda. If you must choose between 2 essentially identical political parties, you choose the one that is most effective in delivering their agenda. Not being able (willing) to pass Healthcare for All when they had a supermajority proves the Democrats incompetent.
There are plenty of roofs in Japan to put solar panels. There are plenty of mountains for wind turbines. I visited Japan recently and saw none of either.
Preventative healthcare is the key to a long life. Stopping stuff early keeps it from killing you suddenly or having permanent effects. People with poor healthcare (or limited access because of cost) tend to skimp on preventative healthcare, with corresponding effects on life expectancy. Why does the country with the most expensive healthcare on earth have the worst healthcare in the G20? Because dying patients are good for business.
When Japan made cheap junk they came up with a plan to "Rule the world" (of business). They imported the tech and business methods from those who had it, and slowly learned how to be good. The only thing preventing American car companies from following this path is they want to offshore the factories.
Intel does R&D, producing new designs. TSMC just makes stuff others design, and therefore has a much higher chance of making stuff with security holes (and doesn't care because security isn't their job).
The police would blame the crook for causing the accident. Blaming the owner would discouage cooperation from other owners and lead to a lawsuit from the owner where blaming the (dead) crook lets them be tough on crime.
Edison bought the patent for the lightbulb. China is not known for research and development, they are known for cutting corners and trying to cheat their customers.
That's one way to keep the jobs in China as pay rates climb. Have a supressed minority that must work for cheap or starve. Sort of like what Republicans have done with illegal immigrants.
In the government controlled areas of Somalia they have taxes, in the Islam extremist zones they would have Islamic taxes, in the none of the above zones they would have men with guns collecting protection money. Failed state doesn't mean you don't pay someone. If you want to not pay taxes try forming a church. They get tax exempt like a (real) charity.

America IS being run into the ground by both parties. At the current rate of deficit spending I expect America to default on their debts in 2040.

A high sugar diet is linked to ADHD, is linked to higher stress levels, is linked to higher suicide rates.
A poor diet reduces life expectency of type 1 and 2 diabetics.

It's the business class that is bankrupting America. Smart people are normally in the Middle class.
If your car attempts to abduct you, pull out the fuses from the fuse box. No power to computer means car stops.

I don't see the part where they offer to PAY for all of this. If an ISP is required to work for a private company they should expect to be paid.
We don't need 600 miles, we need power rails in the roads. With that you only need 50 meters to get you out of your driveway.
Historically the second one to market wins. Asia has much better cellphone service than USA, but USA started it.
Edison bought the patent for the lightbulb. China is not known for research and development, they are known for cutting corners and trying to cheat their customers.
No government in history has willingly given up power.
