I don't think British colonialism improved things for Australians. But if you don't believe me, ask the 2.2% of the population that is indigenous how they feel about the 97.8% that have taken over their country.
I am going to assign some subjects for you to research: 1. democracy 2. tragedy of the commons 3. voting
I want one share and I want everyone else to have one share. I don't want someone's wealth or notoriety to give them extra shares.
Buy a couple shares in any large company and see how much say you get. Maybe your eyes will be open after you cast a few non binding votes. Corporations should be run by the owners, in our current system they have been hijacked by the managers.
I would use a script to unmount drives when they are done collecting information, then you can hotswap them (assuming your hardware supports that. Just have the script unmount one drive and mount the next drive at the same mountpoint.
The "natural state of the market" does not allow you legal recourse to being shafted by a company or anyone with more power / money / manpower then you. That is a creation of the government, and a damn good one!
They will make you real comfortable while you die if you are dying slowly. If you come in with your hand chopped off in Canada, they will reattach it, in the US they are only required to stop the bleeding and keep you from dying.
How can it be cheaper for 1 million people to each pay 5 different companies $120 / month vs. paying $120 / month extra in taxes to a single payer system? The math doesn't work out. Insurance plans should be standardized, so comparison is easier. At that point, single payer is way more efficient. If you want to pay cash, or buy extra insurance, more power to you.
Remember when companies used to have tons of money sitting around in safe places so they could pay off pension? These tempting cash reserves have since disappeared. I think this is what makes people like him and myself worried about HSA's and Roth IRA's. Large piles of cash have proven irresistible to anyone who has the power to tap or skim them.
Yes, it is easy to discern the difference between eating nothing and eating alot. What is harder to discern, when Joe and Sam eat the same cheeseburger. How much is processed by their body, how much is crapped out? Did Sam chew better so he absorbs more nutrients, is Joe lactose intolerant?
All these things go into a proper scientific method.
I was reading a book last year, written by a civil war veteran. He talked about humours and bad air, but he also noticed that many of the recruits had never really been exposed to sugar, and they would go kind of crazy for it. He noted one person in the grip of dysantry, eating a piece of toast piled with a pyramid of sugar. When he told them that would probably not help them get better, they yelled at him and said this was their allowed ration and they were going to eat it.
I just thought it was interesting and maybe relevant...
Your post ignores the complexity of the human body. There are a million possible variable, from how fast my intestines churn, too my resting heart rate. Bodies are different and it is difficult to quantify that. That doesn't mean we can just assume each human is a sphere in our experiments.
I was just laughing with someone the other day about physics problems that involve how fast things fall, they always start out, "let's assume this is a sphere".
So corporations are regulated grifters...? Many colonial sites were organized as corporations, the revolution was as much about resisting corporate rule as resisting British rule. Since shortly after the civil war, corporations have wrested power from we the people, they are not subordinate to the government as was originally intended, but citizens of the government with full rights of any citizen. I apologize for rising to the bait in your straw man argument, corporations cannot exist without some legal framework (lets call it a government), I don't see how that applies to my statement. Corporations can be chartered by government without being able to influence that government. Current charter rules removed most government accountability decades ago.
You say pay them $3 more per pill so they can do research, they end up using fifty cents from each pill to fund research, $2 to advertise / pay doctors, and fifty cents for bonuses. I say cut off that $3 and we will pay $1.50 in taxes that actually get spent on research.

Killing off is not improving...
How colonial of you. This has been tried and does not work.
I'm circumcised, but I wish they would have waited until I was an adult.
probably could have made a nice jacket out my giant foreskin...
If you were circumcised when you were two, there must have been some serious medical problems going on.

A government is just another corporation.
Yes, but at least I get one share at birth and everyone else does to.
So someone should be watching the hen house, and we should have regulations to make sure it is no the fox.
These programs have made a huge difference to many people and to our nation.
Maybe they will let you...
If they do, it's still not a great help to Aunt Martha who doesn't have any rent money.
You could also get a posse together and exact some mob justice, probably on the wrong person if history is any judge.

taxes or inflation
with the added bonus of it having wifi ability to connect to the net if required.
and a camera...?

details, or reference?
bazinga!
Hey, that's unfair, I don't have to have an ownership interest to get a kickback in some form or other.

I don't know specifics...but I know human nature...

My argument has substance.
You say pay them $3 more per pill so they can do research, they end up using fifty cents from each pill to fund research, $2 to advertise / pay doctors, and fifty cents for bonuses.
I say cut off that $3 and we will pay $1.50 in taxes that actually get spent on research.
