By number, the majority of sensing locations are not near airports. Many are in the sea, for example. Some are in space. Very few modern jets go in either of those places. By very few, I mean none.
One of the groups promoting the creation of the NHS in the UK was businesses. They wanted healthy workers, and didn't want to have to pay for a multi-payer insurance scheme, so it was subsumed into National Insurance, a single-payer scheme funding by employer and employee. You can argue that current NHS funding isn't enough (tax has been cut overall in the last couple of decades), but the principle is fairly good. Even in places like Germany, where it is more complex, it still seems to work pretty well. No system is perfect, but perfect should not be the enemy of good, or better. Sadly, I can't see a £350 million weekly Brexit bonus for the NHS.
Right. But that isn't happening yet. Is it cost effective? Does it actually work?
If you poke around, you'll find some grocery products already have them, but it's only a small proportion at present. If the retailers demanded it, I expect it would happen. It's not without issues, though, but cost of adding them to products isn't a big concern. As noted, you can get 10000 RFIDs from Alibaba for $0.01 each. If it's built into the label of the product, it's likely to be even cheaper (and buried in the label is where I have spotted RFIDs in my shopping).
To be able to renegotiate that sort of deal, Walmart would need to be able to walk away. This would be very difficult once invested in a particular technology. If you go 'big bang' and move away, the risk of failure and loss of revenue is too great. Trialing other technologies means adding complexity and cost in the medium term. Designing things to be platform agnostic is a large upfront cost, even assuming the technology is sufficiently well-developed to create something that is platform agnostic. So it's not as simple as you suggest for a company to renegotiate, which is why we see a lot of expensive legacy items in production.
Any given year has high variation over the markets, BUT the long term trend comes from growth of the overall economy and real property values which grow steadily and are not not highly variable over long periods of time.
Not highly variable, but forward projections of growth of the economy over the long term for the next 20 years for most major economies, including the USA, are lower than has often been the case previously, which is what I was trying to point out.
National spending causes inflation and national taxation removes that inflation.
National spending has nothing to do with inflation. Governments printing additional money is what drives inflation whether that money is spent out by the government or a central bank loans it out privately.
In most, if not all, Western nations, government issuance of a debt is a small fraction of currency creation. Most of it is created by private demand for debt, which is part of why the events of 2008 were so significant.
Many of those 90% would have to not eat to not spend 90%. And never have a drink. For those with disposable income, if they didn't spend it, the economy would be in a mess. So it's hard to see what people are expected to do.

But the sudden deceleration at a low speed will hurt you less.
Hint: at a lower speed, the deceleration is almost always lless.
The delta of Speed start to speed end is what hurts.
Doh! No, it's delta(speed)/time.

It's been called climate change since the 1950s.
I am Spartacus. I am batman.

The best thing a person can do to resist climate change is not have any children.
Excellent. I can assume the moral high ground due to a failure of my loins!
If you have flooding if y > 15.1, and currently y = sin(x) for x=0 to 2Pi, and it will become 15+sin(x), well, you do the math.
Default temperature as defined where? Is there an operating manual you have?

It seems poor practice, as compared to using a VPN.

In the UK, at least, the price would need to be marked before sale in some way, even if it was just a scanner telling you the price.
You are thinking retail RFIDs, not bulk manufacture during product creation.
Yes, you get the manufacturer to attach them, as they also get used in the logistics train.
Why buy those premium $0.25 RFIDs? A quick look and you can get them for under $0.01 on Alibaba.
What makes you think they'd accept it?
I thought someone had mentioned the null set, but I may have been mistaken.

If I show you a blank canvas and ask you what's on it, you aren't going to answer zero because zero is a quantity of a given subject.
I might say 'nothing'.
Or I might say many other things, depending on how pedantic I was feeling at the time.
Saying 'zero' would tend to imply, in our typical usage of the language, 'the character zero'.
