I don't know if Star Wars needs diversity, but Episode I was rude.
It seemed to me that Watto the Slave Owner on Tatooine was a Jewish stereotype (look at his nose and listen to the accent), the Trade Federation were Japanese stereotypes (look at the eyes and accent), and Jar Jar was a Jamaican stereotype.

The almighty dollar Big Pharma pursues is calling into existence new drugs faster than ever before. Your beef is poor people and sometimes middle class struggle to get some of the newer stuff.
Fair enough, but a world where this stuff exists, but is expensive, is always, always, in all cases better than a world where these things don't exist.
The fraudulent option politicians you like offer is: You can have your cake and eat it too! You can strip profits yet still have a fast rate of technological advancement.
Last century showed repeatedly this is not the case. Societies that are not economically relatively free produce fewer innovations.
Remember the primary problem facing humanity is the same one for a million years: Death.
And the only solution is advancing tech as fast as possible. And that involves economic freedom.
Government can assist in that, but cannot supplant it.
Energy is god. With enough energy, you can do almost whatever you want. Purify ocean water with giant distilleries. Create many chemicals the hard way rather than relying on longer chemistry paths. Even recycle stuff you don't need to recycle anymore.

We can less recognize the state of technology in 100 years than 1915 could of now. And 1815 vs. 200 years from now. And 1715 vs. 300 years from now.
So, people of 1815, stop panicking over what the world will be like in 2015 because your concerns will be irrelevant and on the ash heap of history. I know you are worried horse dung dust should be 300 feet deep around cities by 2015, and God knows how 2015 will feed 3 billion people when it takes ships 6 months to cross the ocean, even if you could spare that many farmhands to sail the ships.
Same argument for polar bears, which have survived many ice age/warmer-than-now cycles. Like they are idiots that can't hang out on land in northern Canada.
Bees, like any animal, would follow their main food sources This suggests their main plants are disappearing south faster than they are expanding north.

He would have to have a pre-agreed guilty charge to something relatively minor, with all other related charges waved, however a government might do that this side of a pardon.
Blue Cross in Michigan used "Oh, our mainline plan, good for 50 years, is now legally substandard because it doesn't offer (fuck if I know, abortions for Pekingese maybe) as an excuse to dump tons of people off the gold standard Blue Cross plan, and then offer new plans for thousands of dollars more a year.
There was nothing substandard at all about the previous plan, as it was the mainline Blue Cross plan, and even if so, that's irrelevant, because a Man Who Wasn't Lying said you could keep your plan. Well, we couldn't because that fraudulent liar made that plan illegal.
The goal, of course, is not to prevent this stuff from getting out -- people will sneak it out trivially and host it outside the US. And state-level agency, or large terrorist organizations, could just send legal (on the surface anyway) visitors to pick it up, if they wanted to, which they don't.
The goal is to intimidate the makers of such designs. Arrest first and ask questions later, when such designs get out. I wonder how they will take that intimidation?
The City of Detroit's property taxes are ridiculously high -- as property values collapsed, they kept bumping it up to keep up the city income, helping to drive out further business.
George Burgess, director of the International Shark Attack File at the University of Florida's Florida Museum of Natural History, speculates that several environmental factors could be pushing sharks to congregate in the Outer Banks. It is a warm year, and the water has a higher level of salinity because of a low-level drought in the area. Also, a common species of forage fish — menhaden — has been abundant this year and might have attracted more sharks to the area. Burgess also says some fishermen put bait in the water near piers

Nice. Government can't complain as it does this all the time.
Sell lottery tickets, keep half off the top. Remaining half goes out as prize money. Tax that at 39%.

Well, congrats on having the balls to fire a high female executive for a massive fuckup in the current political climate.

Can a 4 rotor continue flying, or at least make an emergency landing without flying wildly or crashing, if one rotor goes out?

For that matter, can a 6?
