It would not be cheaper to install and not worth installing new, but it exists. It's a sunk cost, not figuring into the accounting. That network investment has been paid off long, long ago.
Interestingly, a friend of mine started only answering unknown numbers in Chinese. Spam calls after a while of that went down dramatically. And then he started getting spam calls in Chinese, but at least the volume went down massively.
I can't think of many blackmail scenarios from credit history.
What they do now have is a list of potential targets. Having a list of all the people in tough financial shape that have access to the information you want could be an intelligence boon.
OPM and the FBI should be reviewing everyone with a clearance to be sure we haven't started having any financial difficulties since the last check.
The US spent billions to overthrow an elected president in Ukraine, created riots.
Now Joe Biden's runs Ukraine's oil companies.
Did you even read your own links?
"That’s a distorted understanding of remarks given by a State Department official. She was referring to money spent on democracy-building programs in Ukraine since it broke off from the Soviet Union in 1991.
If you read the book to which the article you linked is citing, you'd know that isn't accurate. The book is about vague laws and overreaching LOEs and prosecutors.
It would be accurate to say: The only reason you aren't in jail is because the police aren't targeting *you*.
The software is still pretty bad at it. That's what the "sent to California" and the subscription part is about. There are people listening in Newark, CA after the alert is triggered. With people listening the accuracy shoots way up.
The systems without the subscription have a terrible accuracy rate.
There are mostly false positives. The new system with the high subscription cost is for humans to listen and confirm if it is gunfire. It brings the accuracy way up. I can't site how much. I'm still looking for that information. The unmonitored accuracy was atrocious.
Additionally, these microphones also pick up other sounds, like car sounds, which have been used as evidence too. They also pick up conversations.
Could you source that info? I'm not saying they can't, but it seems unlikely that microphones on poles and building tops that are designed to be triggered by 140+db gunshots, but not by 120db thunder are being used to record even loud 70db conversations.
Not to mention, if they are talking that loud, they should expect people to overhear.
So that means someone could shoot someone else at point blank or otherwise close range, and get away with it, because the report won't trigger the system? I would imagine that being shot with a nail out of a.22 caliber cartridge would probably mess one up as much as a real.22 bullet would do.
If by close you mean barrel to body, so that all energy expelled from the barrel (not just the bullet) is being absorbed, then yes, it wouldn't trigger the system. Point blank is not close enough. You'd have to stifle the gas leaving the barrel.
On that nail vs shot with a bullet from a 22 short though--the nail would certainly penetrate further, but the bullet would mushroom and deposit more energy. That's a real tossup.
Banning what? Celebratory gun firing? Do you think it's "big government" to ban people shooting into the air in populated areas? Who are you fighting? No one is coming to get your guns here pal. They're only asking for them to be used responsibly.
I don't recall the details of the case and can't be bothered to read up on it, but according to the summary it's a drug investigation. It's a pretty far leap from there to national security.
Don't you remember the commercials? If you buy a dime bag, you're funding terrorism!
The article is Michigan local. The problem is not. Unless you live somewhere that didn't exist before 1950, you have lead in your service somewhere. The issue in Flint was corrosive water. There are still lead pipes all over the place.
And what you would to do with the so called white trash?
You can't send em back to africa, and they're just as bad due the whole "being poor and uneducated" thing going on.
Send them to Australia. I hear it's a penal colony, they'd fit right in.
If this is the direction it's going, I need to become trashy and get on board with racism!
No one is scared. Not sure how you arrived at that conclusion. An article about it in a regional newspaper was published to the internet. We'd like to read it.
I'm not sure I would say it was insufficient citizen involvement. A lot of people initially thought it would be a sufficient stop gap measure while the other intake and processing plant was being built. It wasn't until people saw the water that was coming out of their taps that they complained, and then officials had the opportunity or need to tamper with evidence and ignore citizens.
Fun fact--While the people were being ignored, the GM complained to the governor here, and a lot of money was spent re-piping to get the GM plant back on water processed by Detroit, while keeping the people on unsafe corrosive water.
He's polling at 47% in a LA Times national poll, 46% in a handful of others, which are all purported to represent all US registered and likely voters. His statement was quite accurate.

What is "it" that you are talking about? No where at your provided link does it say anything about him being a 15 year old.
There may not be a question mark at the end, but it's an obviously implied question. "I don't get it, would someone please explain it to me?"
This guy has to be a hired psyop. Everyone knows the US spent billions to fuck up Ukraine.
US spent $5 billion to destabilize Ukraine The United States spent $5 billion on Ukraine anti-government riots Neocons and the Ukraine Coup U.S. Admits It Spent 5 Billion to Overthrow Ukraine Victoria Nuland's Admits Washington Has Spent $5 Billion to "Subvert Ukraine" Nuland: Fuck the EU

Sure you can play, but you seem to not understand the game. Otherwise, your "false" declaration would be followed by your reasons.

Posting in case anyone else wonders:
"The company estimates its service can cost between $65,000 and $95,000 a year per square mile, not including the cost of installing equipment."
HA! Thanks for that. :D

Do you think that all the pipes in America that were installed before 1950 have been replaced?
Here's a link for an article http://michiganradio.org/post/where-are-lead-water-pipes-michigan-here-s-our-best-guess to educate yourself a bit on the topic, if you're not one of the people that is proud of their ignorance.

It wasn't all Jews, it was Ashkenazi Jews as a genealogical germline subsect.
It's not the WMF it's the IMF. With the correct information, it's quite easy to google it for yourself.
