Over half of what we produce goes straight to the landfill (in one fashion or another). The 'sacrifice' angle is bullshit. There is no need to submit to any authority that demands it. If they demand that we cut the waste and contamination, then that is different. But to ration is intolerable and inhuman.
Well, there really is little wrong with telling people to pollute less, especially since technical issues are becoming increasingly trivial. But if the whole *we must do something* routine can get get us ginned up for war so easily, there's no reason not to try it here and see what kind of reaction it provokes. Some times the magic works, some times it doesn't. Going back to my original post, I only said we are not required to follow bad example.
You should not use cheap commodity hardware/software in critical applications, ever. Pray to your favorite deity that you never find this junk down in the avionics bay.
You support them because their pointless system hasn't caused an accident.
Their 'pointless' system has prevented many accidents. You, as a direct beneficiary, don't know what you are babbling about. Their 'pointless' system has made flying safer than going upstairs to take a piss.
Well, we can complain about the FAA all we want, but I can't remember the last last time there was a serious airline wreck in the States. As for medical tools, it's too bad the Snap On truck doesn't have any.
Really. The state will have to issue medallions, and of course ration them. You can't make money without attracting sharks, from one side of the law or the other.
If I stand on brakes on my roadster with huge disks and sports tires I can guarantee that your minivan will rear-end me from a typical safe following distance.
Not necessarily so, the 'three second rule' (that is the minimal safe following distance) will keep the minivan safe (if the driver is awake) even if you hit a brick wall.

you're still going to need something to move goods from the rail network to their final destination.
A long time ago, produce (mostly coal) was on underground light rail. There is no reason not to expand on that. Well, maybe one
I also value my time, which I don't want to waste on a 200 mile trip waiting in line, and security theater

I don't know why they should be allowed to keep the patents and copyrights then.
That is the idea, isn't it?
She's over there by the entrance, in the Goofy costume...
...we don't have the resources.
Absolute nonsense. We just manage them poorly.

Jumping onto bandwagons is never a good idea. *Acting like a start-up* is the last thing I want to see. Or maybe it means they're looking for a buyer.
I'm boggled by the fact that you flyboys brought only ONE type of tech onboard for this map stuff.
Maybe your argument is with Jeppsen. They've had a pretty big monopoly for a very long time now.
Then the damn OS shouldn't allow it!
Now you left me trying to imagine what it is like to carry 35 pounds of shit inside you.

Republicans were taken over by radical baptists, not Catholics. The reverse would definitely be a huge improvement.
...we were all created before we evolved.
Yeah, by what came before us.
A movie is worth gazillions. This land is mine.
The Catholic church has confirmed one very important thing. We should do as they say, not as they do.

It's just not technically feasible if there is any respect for liberty...

I use bat for baseball. As a communication device, its long distance value is limited.
Just make the grid global, and you'll have solar all day long, even at night.
All the excess can be used to pump the desalinated water over the mountains.
