At which point the authorities will "bail you out" with taxpayer money you get to KEEP!
Or you are a mortgage holder who fell for $300K for $500/month, and now the authorities force the bank to eat their losses and give you a mortgage you can actually afford, rather than the one you'd should've known you couldn't.
The thing is, are you really going to do a ventric or LP on everybody who falls down skiing and has a headache?
If the first vital sign (amount of insurance + bank accounts + available credit + a percentage of the possible malpractice award for not intervening - a percentage of the malpractice awards for intervening - the cost of the doctor/facility's time) is high enough, sure.
That's the American way.
As far as MIs, though, quite possibly the greatest factor affecting your survival is how quickly you can get carted away to the cath lab, and I can't see how continuously monitoring anything is going to get you there any sooner than just paying attention to that crushing substernal pressure radiating to your left arm and calling 911.
And it would do this even if you were driving on your own private road, or driving a tractor on your own land (hint: DUI rules apply only on public roads, parking lots, etc.).
Wrong. DUI DOES apply on private roads, it is an exception to the rule that traffic laws only apply on public roads.
Plus if 1 million people in the US think "my votes won't affect the election outcome" and thus don't vote, the overall affect very likely WILL affect the election.
The only exception I can think of is the Las Vegas Monorail.
(which is working fine now, and is running an operational surplus, i.e. revenue is more than expenses (not including bond payments) so it is profitable in that sense and is hardly the disaster people make it out to be).
Unlike this site, which is giving errors like "It's been 4 minutes since you last successfully posted a comment" and I AM logged in, and NOT posting anonymous! 4 is greater than 2 people. Fix the server!
When's the last time that the citizenry successfully resisted an attempt by the federal government to expand its powers or otherwise work against the will of the People?
when we threw out the Republicans and elected Barack Obama in 2008.
Perhaps they didn't like you because of your gender, and fired you because you were being "uppity" and/or they wanted to get rid of female technical staff and just needed a pretext. Or you were a threat to their way of doing "business" (corruption).
Hopefully you have found better work elsewhere. You sound like you'd be an asset to a reasonable company. On the other hand, if I was running an Enron, AIG, or Silver State Bank or similar type of racket, I wouldn't want you around either.:)
I wonder if the Empire's military contractors work the same way that ours do? One can only imagine how many toilets you'd need on a battle station the size of the Deathstar and how much that would cost at $50,000/ea;)
If the suspect thinks it works, it mgiht be useful for that reason alone.
Police put the words "He's lying" in a copy machine, and stuck a colander with some wires on a suspect's head, and pressed the copy button whenever they thought he was lying - and got him to confess!
People need permission to run a credit check! Of course, an employer (or lender or insurer, etc) can refuse to hire or do business with you if you refuse.
And you can stop those junk soft inquiries by calling the opt-out hotline run by the big 3.
BTW: Beware of hard hits that should've only be soft inquiries (i.e. anything relating to obtaining new credit). Had a utility and a landlord do that. You can dispute those back to being soft hits that others can't see.
The government would have to do something to prevent an eventual revolution, be it compelling firms to employ a certain percentage of freaks or sending us all to gitmo!
Which would depend on if the government was run by Democrats or Republicans.
It's only (considered) stalking if you don't have a private investigator's license, in which case it is simply doing your job and protecting your client.

More taxpayer money!
What do I do when my Windows PC won't stay running for a full 60 seconds?

Not all heart attacks are so obvious.
Even EKG changes aren't instantaneous. You'll have been having chest pain for quite some time before you start showing hyperacute T waves.
You'll be having S-T depression on an EKG before you'll even feel angina.
And it would do this even if you were driving on your own private road, or driving a tractor on your own land (hint: DUI rules apply only on public roads, parking lots, etc.).

So presumably, you trust big corporates more than a government?
YES!
You can compete with a corporation, not so with the government ("compete" with the police and get shot, etc).
You can refuse to do business with a corporation, not with the government.
A corporation can be dissolved, not so with the government.
No company is going to have information on every aspect of your life, but the government can.
Yes, I know Google and First Advantage, and the 3 credit bureaus (Equifax, Trans Union and Experian) come close...
Linux already runs on a pacemaker programmer, we are getting close:

Would you assume that if the U.S. were running out of money we'd go ape-shit?
We'll find out soon enough.
Most trains aren't self driving.

Or do what everybody else does and drive the whole way at 115 mph. :)
From the rules:
Be able to read, speak, write, and understand English
Which is considerably stricter than needed for a driver's license! :)

Less than the economic bailout plans!
More likely is it worked, and they officially "canceled" it, but in fact, took in underground in the "black budget" and are making use of it today.

He said no NEW taxes, nothing about increasing the ones we got!
Note: Linux is free but codecs and hardware is not.
But good grammar is priceless!

Right-to-work means you can't be required to join a union.
At-will means you can be fired for no reason (or any non-illegal reason).
2 VERY different concepts!
As for hiring, it is always equivalent to "at will", no reason or any non-illegal reason will do.
(This is in the USA).
Where as if you applied and were rejected you wouldn't have that strike against you.
To be clear about that, I do not mean that I would be tolerant of drug use on the job.
I guess you weren't the hiring manager for the Microsoft Windows Vista team then. :)
