So now I have to send in tax forms to pay the government for the missing tax money that my tax software saved over hiring an accountant, another tax form for the copy editor I no longer need to hire now that I have a spellchecker, a tax form for the musicians who no longer need to perform in my lobby now that I have streaming Pandora? Just think of all the trees!
How can anyone with half a brain take seriously a communication system that limits people to 140 character posts? Does 141 characters overload primitive logic circuits?
So, the press is justified in (and proud of, even!) presenting a 'hot-mike' conversation between two people in a van, that occurred ten years prior, _a recording without either parties knowledge_, which in many states would be _illegal wiretap_, but emails by public figures which are electronically hacked are considered off limits (becuase of the person being hacked?) The hypocrisy implies that there is in fact no genuine outrage - only what is convenient for the moment.
The very concept of a Job is a Modern Construct. To imply that without Jobs you have to have a Universal Basic Income is to imply that before theire were 'Jobs' there was no trade or business for people to engage in. But there was trade and functionality before the modern concept of the 9 to 5. The real culprit is someone creating a fiction around the concept of The Job, blame for which in my opinion goes back to FDR.
One of the big causes of mankind going into Dark Ages is because of Active Human Destruction of Information. During the Roman Empire, Emperors would 'Damnify', or have destroyed all record of the prior emperor, if they really did not like them. Similarly, for religious reasons, entire swathes of writings and information were destroyed (e.g. the Library of Alexandria, the Thalia of Arius), with secular or religious support. Today Islamic terrorists exclaim how any word except the Koran is worthy of destruction. Perhaps a greater threat than the media, is associating intellectual ideas with political, religious or cultural works, so that they can progress neutrally through time. Even the first temple we know about, Gobekli Tepe, was buried 8000 years ago, probably to protect it from similar destruction. Making a mural, with pictures from reality, and words associated with the pictures, and making sure they are culturally, religiously, and politically neutral, is probably one good way to preserve them. If you will, a picture book of knowledge in mural form.
We have had tax funded public education for all over all these decades that the scientists pulled the wool over the eyes of the public. Didn't help a whit. The fact is, in the middle ages Politicians went to the Bishops to get validity (the Bishop would bless the King). Today the Politicians get a band of conveniently biased Scientists. The common denominator? The masses were transfixed by Faith, irregardless of public schooling.
Correction - 300 years into it Christianity was integrated with the government - prior to that it was a widely held growing religion that was alternately supressed and tolerated by the authorities. The 300 years is just the point at which the government decided to step in take the reins.
That isn't quite true - doing a search for Clinton FBI similarly does not return the FBI probe links, but crime is not in the phrase. Google is biased, and may be ok for technical searches but no longer for news or loaded searches.

I would be happy to post the actual solution to this problem but why bother? I get a basic income whether I give you the answer or not. Pound sand.

So if we are Supposed to Trust in Scientists, where before we Trusted in God, how do we know when the Scientists are Being Bought or otherwise Biased?
