In many cases there are no offspring to do the job. Not everyone has massive extended families. GOOD nursing homes where they can interact with peers can be better than some families.
I'd rather run out the clock in a good VA home with other ex-G.I.s. I've visited a couple which had HAPPY residents who were articulate and didn't mind expressing themselves.
Conquest was perfectly acceptable i.e. "not wrong" at the time. Morality changes over time.
Do also note that Native Americans fought lots of wars before the paleface arrived, and in the case of the Spanish conquests often sided with the conquistadores against their opponents.
Neal Young is a great rocker, but don't take his songs as history.
Other OS have vulns, but using an OS that the drones aren't tempted to touch is preferable, as well as one they DO NOT HAVE AT HOME.
The average person is tech-ignorant, that will never change and has never been different. Throw many barriers to entry to discourage them and keep them in their place.
They can. There is nothing about either tech which interferes with the other.
Cast aside romantic notions about Native Americans. Losing a war doesn't make them better then those smart enough to beat them, and greed is universal.
You can't trust the Internet, so keep your control systems the fuck OFF the Internet, as in "air gap"
Do not run Windows on control systems.
The boss needs to rule users, give orders, and enforce obedience. If you don't want people to mess up (anything) lock it down and lock them down. Discipline doesn't have to be unpleasant, but it is reasonable to expect obedience and punish disobedience.
Additives like STA-BIL (my preference) are advisable for stored or "intermittent use" engines. I ignore the STA-BIL directions usually pour a full bottle into my tank. Less for small engines, motorcycles, etc.
It works. I left a Bronco II sit for nearly four years in my yard, yet it fired up fine with only a bit of priming.
Option lists, including final drive ratio, still exist with many options to choose from.
You won't be asked about options much. Remember, ordering options requires waiting instead of getting a vehicle off the lot. The dealer needs to clear his inventory. If you want custom, do the research.
Custom battery options are unlikely due to tooling cost.
"That means no pirating. That's a real statement. And it shows you're principled."
Why should I have principles handicap me when my corporate and government masters have none?
Moral "principles" involve the acceptance of personal disadvantage in hope others will do likewise. That's best kept among friends/crew/tribe. The benefits don't scale.
"Better" is subjective. Human behavior (all of it) is a racket, and since enemy humans are expendable they can be killed when expedient.
"The problem is that so often those who get the benefits of war are not the same people who pay the costs, even within just the society paying for the war."
That's not a problem with war, that's a matter of choosing war when actually appropriate. WWII was the best thing to happen to the US in its economic history. Viet Nam had mixed results, but was part of a highly successful Cold War overall. The jury is out on the effects (intentional or otherwise) of Iraq.
Violence trumps everything else when applied with will and sufficient resources.
War waged fully can be tremendously useful. Consider how Mao defeated warlords and Kuomintang, unifying China and setting the stage for its extremely rapid development.
Jews refused to die fighting, and thereby attempt to disrupt the system. They died like cattle, and the few examples of resistance didn't mean much overall. The few French who helped Jews were dwarfed by the cooperative Petainist government which helped dispose of them.
Ghandi-style methods only work against opponents who are not ruthless. Putting on my OPFOR hat, had I the task of dealing with him he'd have promptly died of peritonitis in prison.
"Unemployment is high enough that you could replace the entire rail system of the US with the kind of tracks needed for high-speed rail within weeks, if not days, of the necessary track being produced because it's absurdly parallel"
Not a labor-intensive job, but a SPECIALIST job requiring expensive specialist equipment. Roadbeds etc need upgrading too. A bunch of unemployed people doesn't translate into "a bunch of fit (rail work is akin to being an ironworker), skilled work crews" overnight.
I feel the rail love, but some of the advocacy is blind to the realities of construction.

Even good workers aren't telepathic. More tools in the toolbox give more ways to get the job done.
Lack of use or misuse is another issue.
As a vet, waiting for paper records was a hassle. Gimme instant access, and equally important give my Tricare providers instant access.
I don't give a damn if they stream my colonoscopy video on Redtube or if Slashdot uses my hernia scar for a background.
I want efficient medical care, and must say the military has done well for me for 30 years (active and retired).
Obama is a fine Moderate Republican President.
There are no Moderate Republicans left to support him, but that's another matter.
Given this logic, rape is merely "assault with a friendly weapon".

Better watch them wind spills!
They'll pollute your aquifers, unlike tasty petroleum mixed with fracking cocktails.

Ah! So that's your response to nudging headlines.
Modern gasoline stores badly.

"I'd be more interested in (and probably troubled by) how much of our tax dollars are being spent on the proverbial "hookers and blow."
Put THOSE in the breakroom and enlistments will soar!
Jock sniffers worldwide are stupid and violent, but sports distract them from interfering anywhere else.

You omit the initial build cost. Why?
Countries where business and government CO-OPERATE are kicking our ass.
Principles are adorable, but business is war.
"if these are manufactured here. If this work goes to China (or spain), it really is a waste of money."
Not if the US can purchase the products. After all, we owe the modern personal computer to American invention and Chinese manufacturing.

The Federal money to which you refer is paid BY the truck operators, whose fuel purchases among other things are heavily taxed.
"why do I know of a lot of improvement and expansion projects in the US?"
Citation needed.
Rail can never have the granular service provided by trucking, so all rail freight except bulk cargo is essentially INTERMODAL.
"i'd rather be a cannibal than a shit eater."
The two, it is worth mentioning, aren't mutually exclusive.
There is no crisis. People who breed unwisely will be dealt with by events. That isn't a problem for the human race, just the losers.
