Please quit with the Marxist line. We all know money cannot buy happiness. We all know that it is hard to be happy, if you cannot pay the bills. We all know that money can rent happiness for a bit. We all know that everyone in the US can have anything they want, they just have to work for it! We all know that in a Socialist State, the government decides what you want, what quality you want, and what quantity you need, and what to do with you if you happen to dis-agree with the government!
My objective is to reduce the power of government to screw up our lives.
This so-called de-regulation of the FCC is fine with me. As long as I have the liberty to vote with my feet. All monopolies cause their own death. Often the politicians think they need to be seen as effective, and step in with more regulations to either breakup or support the monopolies. But death of a monopoly is inevitable.... It just may not happen in the time frame we desire.

I put in a restart function in my root window function list. Also a "talk" function.
Part of the problem is a legacy of socialism in the form of "rent control". The nice little old lady next door from your +$2K flat pays a whopping $250 for the same accomidations. The owner can't afford to fix up the place, and you can't afford to live near work.
I tend to believe its to cover some one with good political connections. I cannot believe that several people don't calculate flight paths independantly, and compare the results.
If you are operating on the cutting edge of some new technology, you are probably writing your own tools. Else, off-the-shelf tools are suitable for following in the footsteps of others. And you trust the software actually performs as specified.
In fact, they do screw up... Usually upon the order of their enlightened leaders. But that is not what we like to think. We are so full of ourselves, that we cannot see the forest for the trees. You and I sit here in our enlightened state, offering directions (ultimitely at the point of a law enforcement officers gun) concerning cultures or societies we consider intellectually inferior. Do you see that we have become the Pigs in Orwell's Animal Farm? We despise the Easter Islanders for cutting down their healthy vigorous trees to build canoes and erect monuments to escape some unknown calamity. Did anyone ask if the calamity was death of the trees? Perhaps repeated invasion of canibalistic peoples? We sit in judgement of the Northern California Sardine fisheries for over fishing the sardines. Now in scientific journals, there is a foot note... temperature changes in the California Current caused changes in the location of the Sardine schools. We also deride the Lumber Industry for silting the rivers along the North Coast, killing all the Salmon. No one has informed you that in the 80's the headwaters of these rivers were diverted into Whiskey Town Reservour to supply Southern California with water.
So you and I are ready to tyranize some poor unknown schmuck for living his life as he knows best. No one ever mentions that the Ukrain exported wheat, and Viet Nam exported rice, through the war until centralized managers over saw production of these crops. The farmers, loggers, fishermen know best how to manage their industry. You may laugh, and say apparently correctly "The fox needs to watch the chicken house". But this guy is setting himself up to be the head fox, with you and I as his henchmen. He states that groups always make poor decisions, but I on the other hand, see clearly. He wants to be Franco of the new Fascist Order. Now I'm not using Fascist as a nasty label, as is common. But properly as a system of government where no voice of dissention is allowed. So here we are, the new Fascists... You and me.
I am glad, that see so many "enlightened" environmentalists, trying to micro-manage various and sundry portions of the food production industry. We are most fortunate, that this special enlightened group with absolutely zero predjudices or biases, is giving their absolutely clear and un-impeded vision of the future. Especially in industry which they have absolutely no experience except highly formal classroom study and political education by equally un-biased and enlightened professors who by-the-way have absolute clairvoyance, and impeccible lack of predetermined recomendation.
Go read animal farm!
Marxism died a natural death, don't try to resurrect it!
Actually they use a tool called a "French Gun". The straws are pre-warmed from -something god-awful cold, in (sometimes a childs lunchbox thermous of) warm water.
There is a "Career Field" I guess you'd call if for lack of a better term. Kind of CowBoys that assemble a large work force, for the purpose of artificially inseminating a large herd of cows. It takes special training, and equipment, and a dewar of liquid nitrogen containing thousands of straws of bovine semen. These guys show up at remote ranches, and have to sleep in their camper, and if they forget to move the dewar of semen out of the truck, they never awaken.
Not that I would have personal knowledge of that kind of work. }:=8) That's a cow smiley face BTW.
You wouldn't dare store LN2 in an enclosed are without low O2 alarms. How many people have died at your work place due to LN2. At mine, that number is more than 1.
Yeah, have a pool of letters requesting for information. Make sure to have the letters in HTML, with lots of annoying widgets, and slot to load images. Then become... Well a spammer.
Just had one of my domain names used in the fake from address
Been there... The spam was written to bounce off my mail server, to the intended receipent list. Where it automatically replied back to the original sender. Whose mail account filled up, and his account was frozen. Then the auto-replies bounced back from the spammers frozen account to me.
What a mess.
Fortunately, we have bogofilter for UNIX email. All the bounces, even the original went there.
Many Farmers are convinced that it is very bad luck to retain seed. Seed must be cleaned. The harvester, performs a light cleaning, which means what is picked up in the wind rows, gets threshed, and runs over screens. Most of the chaff gets blown out.
Noxious weed seeds are likely to be retained. Especially bad in some crops is dodder, a parasitic plant which can form seeds to mimic it's host.
Seed is graded for size, shape, weight, etc. Also seed is treated with fungicides to prevent rot before germination, has a guaranteed germination rate, and weed content.
Retaining seed may violate your seed supplier or coop agreement, other bad majick may pop up, causing massive losses.
I know that Farmers are not morons. But there are many, who feel a personal tie with the seed company, and do as that company says.
Many are under the control of the fossils (parents or senior relatives who own the land) who often make major decisions concerning the enterprise and who may even micro-manage.
If I plant terminator wheat where it will pollinate other people's wheat, that means my wheat will ALSO be pollinated by their wheat. So I would be STUPID to do that, as my own wheat will end up STERILE.
That's the objective. Everyone has to buy seed from Monsanto. No one gets to say no. The foundation growers (viable seed) are prohibited from selling seed to anyone but the company. Non-terminator seed has a very low germination rate.

With these two, anything goes.
Um... I think the city was built as a small fort for defending aginst invading armies. That was kind of in vogue at the time.
My family of five drinks four gallons of milk a week. That's 32 lbs alone. A case of beer... Thats not heavy at all! Laundry detergent... Mere ounces.
Notice how in the 20-something crowd, regulating everyone else to bicycles sounds so easy? How do my 70 year old neighbors get to the hospital?
You probably don't see your self as a tyrant.
Do you work?

I tend to think that socialist governments are a pretty good example of why centralized planning is a BAD idea.
But I must agree, real estate developments provide a good example on a local scale.

You know a method to turn off vulcanism? Volcanos generate > 90% of the atmospheric carbon.
And it is the most important green house gas.
