Fuck you, I want government out of everything, the original post is 99% good, except for 1%, which is - this should be the case in the first place. There shouldn't be any governmnet involvement in any of those things in the first place!
Here is something for you to think about (if you are able to think, let us check if you are).
The phones and tablets are often used in different industries to run business related applications and some of those applications must run all the time and constantly update data, collect statistics, receive and send messages, GPS coordinates, a number of things I that we cannot even imagine here right now. So people are using tablets that have the same OS software on them as the phones do and those tablets must be able to run a bunch of stuff on the background because that's the job.
Some idiot thinks that the user / admin should not be able to adjust which applications must be able to run in the background and take away this functionality - they just lost a bunch of customers, who will switch to some other hardware platform because the business cannot wait until they get their heads right.
Will you now admit that you are not able to think beyond your limited narrow box you are in?
The economy being less regulated is freedom, capitalists are also individuals by the way and in China there are many more capitalists (people running their own businesses) than in most other places.
By the way welfare (social transfers) are the opposite of freedom, welfare is built upon serfdom, upon slavery.
Our current system of wealth distribution will definitely not hold up, it will be replaced with a system where wealth will no longer be distributed much because there will be no wealth left because of ideas like yours.
Large airplanes dump fuel before landing in case of an emergency, their maximum take off weight and maximum structural landing weight are totally different, the safe landing weight is much lower than the maximum take off weight.
This means that in order to land safely an airplane would have to dump batteries.......... so that's crazy expensive, those battery packs have to be dumped on parachutes then so that they can be recovered, even then it's not a guarantee, dumping batteries over the oceans or mountains will most likely result in them being lost, who is going to recover them? Dumping over land can kill somebody probably.
Because of this alone, airplanes on electrical power will never be able to carry as much weight as conventional planes.
The answer to all of those is a resounding yes. Yes, I should be able to use an auto-dialer, helicopter and a camera without government intervention. Yes, it is your right to attempt and block me, again, without government regulations.
Of-course AFAIC the government (if it must exist at all) must do only one singular thing: ensure that the contract laws are enforced. Nothing else. Not even military should be under government regulations, all military work must be done privately, companies can provide armies and people interested in invading / defending should be buying bonds / paying service fees for this service.
So why is it that the manufacturer has to accept something under warranty that was meddled with? If an appliance breaks and it is under warranty why not use the warranty to fix the appliance?
If on the other hand the owner of the appliance decides to do the repair without involving the manufacturer then why should the manufacturer be on the hook for further providing warranty to that appliance? If somebody got into that appliance and 'repared' it in such a way that caused further damage why should the manufacturer cover that under warranty?
This 1975 Magnuson Moss Warranty Act is yet another infringement on individual liberties and when I say that I do mean it gets into the right of a person or of a company to provide warranty as a good will gesture that basically is just a marketting trick used to outcompete other companies providing a similar product.
It is in the interest of society to have actual justice and laws, not sexism and racism masquerading as justice and laws.
The society should want meritocracy and not other considerations, it makes the society be the most effective that it can be economically. Economics is one of the most significant aspects of a society, creating laws that undermine the principles of sound economics destroys society, so if a society does what you are saying it does it is active in a self destructing manner.
My suggestion is that government shouldn't even exist in the first place, there shouldn't be such a thing as 'the president', so this entire conversation is way past moot for me. Of-course nobody should have the power to do any of the crap that governments are doing and of-course there shouldn't be such a thing as a 'presidential alert'.
group of male friends... would have to find at least one woman... Not really a hardship.
- it is a completely ludicrous idea and was passed into law by ludicrous people. It is not a hardship, it is simply unnecessary for business but it is apparently a necessary legal requirement in California now, which is just another tax, that's all it is.
It is very important to understand that solidarity is antihumanist and antiindividualist and I think the American People understand this much better than what makes you comfortable and they do *not* want your solidarity because it is exactly that - giving up your own agency into the hands of some collective that acts as a larger organism. There shouldn't be any 'larger organism', everybody is born and dies on his or her own, all alone, the 'larger organism' must not be able to subvert our lives to its own benefit. You are a collectivist shill and people see through your bullshit.
No to everything. Nobody should be broken up by any government. Nobody should be helped by any government. Nobody should be taxed by any government.
This entire idea that government should be doing things in the economy is what destroys the economy in the first place. Government shouldn't be in any business, it shouldn't be in banking or in railroads or in roads or in air travel or in energy or in education or in healthcare or in housing, or in automotive field, everything touched by government is contaminated and should be bleached.
unless you are an an asshole who thinks poor people don't deserve health care
- nobody deserves anything, we only should be getting things that we can pay for, there is no 'deserve' basis, the feeling of 'unfairness' comes from our limbic system, which does not take into account anything else but feelings and while feelings are wonderful and great, they should not be used to form policy. Of-course today so many disagree, they think that policy should totally be based on feelings and not on any rationality or merit or ability to afford something by providing productivity that is at least equivalent to the resources that are being consumed.
The very concept of 'deserving something because I feel like it' is what ends up destroying well functioning systems.
They should really test that theory by not eating or drinking to prove that it's all a lie, they should also jump off high cliffs to prove that it is oppression by the MAN that keeps us from flying high up and not some fake so called 'natural' or cis force.
Department of Justice, what a name. Formed near 150 years ago and given the police powers, FBI, DEA. It was given the power to rig State/inter State commerce. It was and now is more than ever the most powerful oppressive structure of the government and it is used to increase government power over people and to destroy individual freedoms.
Are you joking? Are you actually joking and crying here about being moderated -1 Troll instead of engaging you in a discussion? On/. (on slashdot)??? Seriously???
Moderators on this site have been doing that for decades now, you have witnessed it what, once? Holly crap.
Some pedestrians don't bother indicating whether or not they are about to jump onto the road either. Cars not indicating they are about to switch lanes or turn are annoying, pedestrians who behave like idiots can die and I don't like wiping someone's brains off my hood every 3 days.
Risk is what creates value, removing the risk does not create value, it creates make shift nonsensical ideas and 'jobs' that don't do anything useful for anybody. If an enterprise is worth while and may generate profit it will be attempted by somebody who takes the risk regardless whether he has any form of support from anybody or not. It's best not to let people perpetuate useless activities that have no chance of generating profits but if you are a government 'worker' you can do that kind of crap forever and believe it's a good thing becuase you can do it and you are not failing.
If you are not allowed to fail there is very little chance of you doing something useful in the first place.
Your argument is even more idiotic this time around. Growth is not a requirement for an economy, it is however the outcome of the fact that the number of people on this planet is going up and their desires for things and services is going up. They want better, more, cheaper everything (everybody does, everybody wants more and better medicine, more and better cars, more and better roads, more and better houses, more and better entertainment, etc.) You are looking at it and seeing a perpetual motion machine, that's your problem, you don't understand the inputs and the outputs.
Perpetual motion machine is believing that somebody can do work, produce, give away what he produce and keep going for some reason (not literally dying and not getting tired of the same nonsense day in day out). Obviously you don't like the idea of working for your employer, doing the job and then giving the money you earned back so that he can pay you with it the next time, so that you can give it back.
The energy consumed by that experiment would be your life's energy, your time and desire to do anything. This is in no way different from telling the productive portion of the population to feed the unproductive by giving them money the unproductive portion did not earn so that they can take that money and exchange it for the goods the unproductive portion of the population did not produce.
It is precisely the same exact thing that you wouldn't do at work and yet it is precisely the same exact idiotic thing that you expect people to do and I think I know why you expect them to do it - you don't expect it to be yourself on the short end of that particular stick. Well, it won't work for the same reasons you wouldn't give your salary back to your employer and it has nothing to do with your also idiotic ideas about how the economy works.
Government stealing taxes and buying the votes of the beneficiaries of this theft is the real problem with the society that must be stopped by any and all means possible.
I do not want anything to do with your ideas for civilization. Indeed Internet Anonymity is a god sent for you, because I should never find out who you are, you would end up as a pile of ground meat and I would end up in prison.
Your ideas are some of the most vile and horrific things and have been proven to be the most vile and horrific in history of this planet. The likes of you have destroyed humanity, have murdered millions. I want nothing to do with you and I despise the fact that on this planet we breath the same air.
Of course the real and only problem is that property rights are not protected, that income and wealth is taxed and that redistribution of income and property exists in the first place. It must all be stopped, then the system will balance itself out.

Can we agree on this: you don't tell me my choices of individualism and laissez faire capitalism are wrong and I won't care about your choices.

Laws exist to protect the interests of society, not the interests of individual companies or people.
- that is a totally wrong statement and also somewhat crazy!
Laws do not exist to protect individual people?
Laws do not exist to protect individual companies?
What *is* society exactly? For whose abstract benefit are laws written? How is that an 'insightful' comment?
Totally insane.
It is in the interest of society to have actual justice and laws, not sexism and racism masquerading as justice and laws.
