...Oh, water butt = rain barrel. If that's true then they're basically saying that they own the rain that falls on your roof, which is totally ridiculous. I'm glad I don't live there.
No, they bought a band that is designated for low power satellite communication and are trying to get the designation changed to allow high power terrestrial communication. They aren't an innocent bystander in this mess.
Of course there's a good reason. Do you really think every GPS device out there is nearly new? There are hundreds of thousands of older devices out there still in use. It would be wrong NOT to test in such a way as to assure that these currently functional devices, which people payed their hard earned money for, continue to work properly.
To that point almost every single cell in the human body is a "leaf node", whose only purpose is to carry around and support the sperm and egg cells long enough for them to get together and form another egg or sperm transportation and survival unit... IE: a human. It's the germ cells that matter. The rest is disposable.
The end result is the same: a living organism that is physically unable to reproduce. Also, viruses are arguably not at all alive. Viruses are basically just very small automatically triggered syringes filled with genetic material. When waiting for a host cell to infect, no biological processes occur. It's inert matter.
Also, it's a FACT that you've made yourself KNOWN to be a douche bag.
Yet they are much farther apart than what is typical in larger cities. Walking an extra half mile is no problem for healthy people without luggage whom have an extra several minutes to get to their destination, but it's still a hassle that we shouldn't be subjected to in order to use our rights as citizens to travel freely.
No, it's actually more like Establishment vs Freedom.
Any binary arrangement is going to be overly simplistic. The would isn't black and white, it's all shades of grey, but people don't like that. They want concrete answers that they can feel good about, so they are attracted to people that give that to them, however incorrect it may be.
need to butt out of their neighbors' lives and stop trying to take their neighbors' money
What the hell are you talking about? I can only assume that you're angry that some scientists get government grants and you don't like the conclusions of their research.
Actually, we're doing that to ourselves. Most smartphones already record high g events, presumably so that the carrier can void the warranty and tell you that it doesn't work because you dropped it on the pavement.
It's too bad that people have to personally burn their hand on a hot stove before they intellectually understand the importance of not putting one's hand on it. At that point the burns are there, but so easily could have been avoided. Sad, and true.
It would need to be done carefully though. Releasing tension in one area could cause a unstable increase in tension in a previously stable area. You wouldn't be able to just drill and frack willy nilly.
the earthquakes might damage the wells and cause pollution!
Sounds like a legitimate concern. Once the casing is perforated for the purposes of fracking, I'm not sure how it would be possible to test the casing for cracks. Maybe you could reseal the perforations and do another static test? Anyway, it doesn't seem like it's as ludicrous of a concern as you're suggesting it is.
Don't you mean consumes millions? The cracked foundations don't have any more value after being fixed than they had prior to the crack. So repairing broken infrastructure doesn't add to the economy, it removes from it.
The barriers are good, but not perfect. Even so they are pretty reliable and they're far below the surface and the usual aquifers that are used for drinking water.
The well doesn't start below the aquifer. If a crack forms in the casing somewhere at the level of the aquifer, or if fluid propagates up a crack in the bedrock from a lower level, or if the fluid is spilled in any quantity on the surface... All of that can cause pollution of the aquifer. Also, fracking uses pressure high enough to fracture the natural gas bearing rock. What makes you so certain that it doesn't occasionally crack the casing of the well too?
If the reports of groundwater contamination from fracking are correct, and evidence suggests that they are, then there are REAL negative consequences even if no damage occurs directly from the quakes. Or do you not care about having to buy all of your drinking water in bottles?
Well, the middle to upper middle class pays the highest effective tax rate of anyone else. The upper class (if they have a decent financial adviser) pay a lower rate due to tax loopholes, and the lower class pay little to no tax at all.
So the restaurant analogy is more like this:
You go to the restaurant and pay $100 for entree and drinks.
The guy working at the gas station buys an entree for $25 (on a living social deal), and tap water to drink
The guy from the country club pays $75 for the same entree and drinks as yourself.
Perhaps you should consider that there is a problem on BOTH ends or the wealth spectrum.
We shouldn't support employable people that refuse to look for work, and yet we should accept that the ultra wealthy are able to use loop-holes to avoid paying the same tax rate as those making 60 grand a year?
Guess what? You're working hard to subsidize the wealthy just as much as the poor.

How is detention any different than being arrested without charge and later released?

I understand it such eggs only hold drones.
I'm certain that you're wrong, because If that were the case it would be impossible to replace a queen that dies.

Billy Madison, but I don't disagree with your sentiment.
To do that, the current immune system needs to be eliminated. Being completely without immune system for any length of time is a very serious risk.

It might be that relieving stress in one area increases stress elsewhere. Seems likely, actually.

But not anywhere near 52.9% over-all. You're not being honest. Your effective tax rate would be quite a bit lower.
Wait... so you do support stimulus? (Promoting small business start-ups is stimulus.) The parent never said the stimulus should be a cash payout.
