It isn't too late, We could do it now if we had the will.
The problem is not in being able unable to do it, it is in finding the will and strength to overcome those who are obstructing the ability to do it. 1: the tea party want America to fall into ruin. 2: the republican party are myopic will never accept that taxes must be raised to save future generations. 3: the democratic party are weak and will never be willing to push hard enough for taxes to be raised, and instead flounder helplessly for compromise.
We can have discipline, we can raise taxes, we can trim spending, we can pay our bills. America can be saved, it can be made prosperous, it can be made free, it can be made just. We need to counter its enemies, overcome the roadblocks, it can be done if people are willing to fight for it. America has been bloodied and staggered, but we have not been defeated yet.
The actual history of food safety regulation proves you to be completely wrong and full of shit.
Food safety was abysmal in the 1800's and it was only regulation with mandates, punishments and fines that saved thousands (by now, it is up to millions of lives saved).
And yet, somehow corporate profit margins and the growth of the wealth of billionaires are simultaneously at their highest.
This is what class warfare looks like, and it looks like the winners are sitting on their yachts and private jets and laughing their way to the bank while everyone else suffers and have to tighten our belts.
It can send people to jail for cutting rotten food with a caustic cleaning agent, mixing baby formula with poison, or selling meat from animals that died of prion diseases. It can ensure that foods temperature is controlled in transit and must be prepared in sanitary conditions. So yes, government regulation surely can and is almost solely responsible for food safety over the last hundred years.
Food became safe after food safety regulation, not efficiencies in production. Sausage was traditionally rotten meat and offal cut with borax cleaning agent to mask the smell and it killed thousands until the sanitary movement cleaned up shop.
They subscribe to basic satanic religious principals. If they believe it hard enough and say it often enough, it becomes true, at least for them and anyone stupid enough to listen to them.
Theoretically? Sure. But in practice a lot of these patents are just problems and the domain in which they are solved without any actual concept for how they are solved for that domain.
Being "American companies" doesn't help that much. Apple has very few employees in the US, and very little of its income gets reinvested here to invigorate the economy.
You want people pissing money away on locally produced products, not imported crap. Locally produced products improve the local economy, imports do not.
It isn't just secrecy. It is quality. In india, being a good programmer means getting promoted to management immediately. The only people left to code are those who are failures or newbies. As a result, the quality of code coming from overseas is crap and often broken. They often deliver completely broken code, or code that only works for a small subset of valid inputs, or that has terrible maintainability and performance. Every bit of that code you get back has to be thoroughly vetted and usually scrapped and rewritten from the ground up.

And the Department of Defense. Java is vetted for TS and higher clearance systems. Most other languages and platforms are not.
(42 million kilometers) / the speed of light = 2.33494867 minutes
That's just around 4 times closer to the sun than the Earth is...
Math. Do you Speak it? There is no such thing as 4 times closer.
It is 1/4th the distance from the sun compared to the earth.
They didn't. Rectangular tablets with rounded corners have existed for decades. The aspect ratio and size is not similar either.
You guess wrong, Samsung wants the right to sell a tablet that happens to be rectangular with round corners in Europe back.
They are also trying to stop sales of other iphones, but with this one they get to block the latest apple has to offer.
Its definitely year of linux on the phone and router, and it could be year of linux on the tablet. On the desktop? not so much.
It is nothing when he doesn't do shit to deliver on it.
True, but even the Nobel Peace Prize almost always goes to someone who has actually done something other than not being John McCain.

You are absolutely right. And that means that it is time to choose discipline and raise taxes.
You are making things up again. The US does not owe "hundreds of trillions", it is tens of trillions, and rather low tens of trillions at that.

The thing is, we can pay china back. We need to spend our budget more effectively and raise taxes to do it though.
Taxes are at their lowest, so is job creation.

You have to understand, he is in favor of the abuse of indentured servants. It is part of his right wing feudalist agenda.

You lie so hard it is ridiculous. The US has a higher tax rate than Norway or Germany? Both nations have far higher tax rates.

So yes, it definitely increases risk.
First there were patents.
Then there were patents "on a mainframe computer"
Then there were patents "on a personal computer"
Then there were patents "over the internet"
Now it is "on a mobile device" or "using the cloud"
In 17 years it will be "projected holographically"
17 years after that it will be "beamed into the cerebral cortex"
etc.
The only time I have to reboot my android phone is when the battery runs dead, and that is unfortunately often, but no fault of android.
