Sometimes the implementation of this kind of measures is a warning sign of such government to come.
About two years before WW 2 broke out, somebody in Dutch government thought it would be a good idea to register all people's religions. Catholics, Protestants and, of course, Jews.
The then under secretary of state (or whatever you call that position) didn't agree and refused. He was forcefully replaced with a more docile one, and the measure was implemented and completed anyway, just before WW 2 broke out.
We now know how this helped the German Nazi's with separating the Jews from the non-Jews and shipping them off to labor camps where they were physically abused, mostly until death followed.
I don't think this was a coincidence, so prepare for what might be coming your way after all cash is gone and the Americans' guns are taken from them.
Probably by a law they all agree with.
I'm not 'most people', and yes I disagree.
The doctor in your example
has earned a doctor's degree by education,
is not treating anybody,
isn't getting paid by anybody.
He is merely stating his opinion about medical treatment plus informing the people that he olds a doctor's degree.
I think he can do that and should be able to do that without fear of being prosecuted by some over-zealous civil servant.
My 'logic' goes like this:
He passed his college's exam for the engineering education they provide, so he can call himself an engineer.
If the state doesn't think he's an engineer by then they should regulate the colleges issuing those titles and control their examination procedures.
You're living in a dream world.
The new Middle Ages are coming, peonage is the goal, and you think our 'benevolent overlords' will arrange social security for you?
If you want to save for retirement, I think the best option is gold. Physical gold.
Prices don't rise much on a day-by-day basis, but every few decades there's a fairly huge jump.
Fat chance that before you retire you'll experience such a jump in value. There's your gain.
Not really, HVDC is able to move huge amounts of energy at a high efficiency. Interrupting the current in the case of faults however was a limiting factor.
The 'denser' the energy generation is, the more it is open to centralized abuse.
J.P. Morgan killed Tesla's project of wireless energy distribution the moment he realized it couldn't be metered.
That's the same reason why solar got so little support for such a long time.
Let the people buy their solar roof, although I predict that taxation will replace the centralized billing.
Great research! Leaves me waiting for his reasons why he thinks he can call himself an engineer.
According to his reply it's because he isn't offering services 'to the public', whatever that may mean, and some reply above seems to explain that in fact it's because (he claims) he's not 'practicing' engineering in Oregon.
It wasn't really meant as fictional, as he has been discussing the reality of this with his teacher Aldous Huxley before, as we can learn from an article by Jan Irvin and Joe Atwill, describing their theory that, in short, banks and CIA work together to bring about a new age of peonage, for which a return to the Dark Ages would be needed, with the help of psychedelic (prescription?) drugs.
It wasn't even a warning, well, maybe Huxley tried to warn, but rather an announcement made by Orwell.
Expect some cognitive dissonance though...
I'm afraid you're confusing two things.
1. Saving prematures whose parents already have decided they want it.
2. Birth control in underdeveloped countries.
We are not the people to dismiss the child wish of people under 1.
We can act on 2. however, as for instance Bill Gates is already doing with his famous:
“The world today has 6.8 billion people. That's heading up to about nine billion. Now if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care & reproductive health services, we could LOWER that by perhaps 10 or 15 percent.”
By the way, scare mongering isn't really necessary, as Hans Rosling argues that
In developed countries, a ratio near 2 parents to 2 children mostly exists and developing nations are getting closer and closer as their childhood health outcomes continue to improve.
which brings him to the conclusion that
Population growth should hit a limit around 11 billion within the next hundred years, as the world equalizes in health outcomes.
Haha, I don't see this happening any time soon. Mostly the scientific developments come associated with this kind of promises, but somehow mostly fail to deliver.
The problem with the 'basic physics' is that we still don't know whether that's all and what negative feedback loops we have missed, or what loops still don't exist but will suddenly occur when temperature rises one degree, or more. It's all very non-linear, which makes it very complex and difficult to model and even more difficult to accurately predict. If you call this vague generalities' then maybe they are, but I stick to it nevertheless.
My other problem with AGW is that Al Gore wants me to pay for it so he can earn money off of it, which makes his propaganda a bit suspicious, and then there is this.
To be honest, I think we are being played and I smell a rat which they are trying to hide behind a huge pile of incomprehensible 'science'. Incomprehensible at least for the normal person.
Let me guess... In order for not having to pay the bill they sued him for practicing civil engineering without proper license?
It's well known that electrical, and especially electronic engineers are able to comprehend very complex problems on average better than other types of engineer, so I'm not surprised that he did it.
Slashdot Mirror
It's exactly the sheepiness of the sheeple that allowed it to go this far, so no, sheeple won't stop this. You're fucked for not being a sheep.
Cute, we've seen how this worked when the TSA showed up, groping all passengers in their crotch.

Save gold instead.

Thorium 'clean nuclear'?
Ever thought about what will happen if a bit of oxygen enters the vessel? Or if the cooling system fails?

Oooo..., if only I were a terrorist...
I can't wait for the jury annulment if it came that far.
But in Oregon you're not allowed to say or write that without license, if the board gets its way, which it doesn't.
Yeah, but if you go to Walmart you can buy your own greens and make a better salad.
Just make sure you don't touch the receipt.
I don't know the regulations in your state, but I guess you're not a practicing engineer.
Of course they are wrong.

He would even get sued under the DMCA for reverse engineering their algorithms.
