We have the same thing here in coastal VA. Cut down trees for a new furniture store/Walmart/unused business park, and pave over everything...and then wonder why water is backing up into your garage.

The SPOT program is going exactly what it was created to do Funnel money from the government (my pocket), into the pocket of the consultants, companies, and employees of whoever built it.
Many did. My graduating class in the last two years we had 40 kids out of a graduating class of 300 die in car accidents.
I recently went to my 40th year HS reunion. 1974. Grad class of 200 or so. Out of the 20 or so who have passed away over the years, 4 were from car accidents.
Your numbers are waaaay outside the curve. Or just BS.
'Net worth' is not always a good indicator either. Consider a farmer with a couple hundred acres. Annual 'income' of $20,000, but on paper, a millionaire, because of the land.
That's a pipedream. Other than connections like the $20k per month T3 to Sprint where I used to work, I've never personally seen a connection that fast. Most of the country is still chugging along with 1.5 Mbps DSL at the max.
Are you high? Here in Redneckistan Virginia, I have 50/50 fiber. $50(?) month. Have not had less than 25/5 over the last decade, cable or fiber. Previous to that, in Flyover Nation Ohio, it was 10/2 and then 20/5.
Think back to 1965. What media do you still have that you can access? Paper, and analog hardcopy LP's maybe. LP, only if you still have a working player.
1975? Same
1985? Floppy disks. How many of those do you have that are still readable? And on what device? Gen 1 CD. Probably all toast.
1995? Gen 1 DVD. Again, probably toast.
Meanwhile, while cleaning out my parents house, a photo album, with pics of my grandmother partying in a club in Harlem in the '30s, is perfectly, instantly, readable.
For 36 years, except for the period 2013-2017, there will have been either a Clinton or a Bush, in or next to the Big Chair. Let's try something else for a while, OK.

FTFY.
For a /. April 1 post, this one is not bad.
As opposed to the rest of the stupidness.
"Stark and rising inequality plagues many countries, including the United States"
Change that to: "Stark and rising inequality plagues every country."
But of course a dig at the US has to be in there somewhere, so...
You fail to understand law talking guy speak

It has no where else to go!
And part of their duty is to say to the client: "Yeah...you might not want to do this."
Um...lawyers wrote this.
In the red corner, we have lawyers! In the blue corner, we have lawyers!
Come out fighting. Whoever wins, its a lawyer!
How will the Colonels and GS-15's justify their existence? They must put their mark on it in multiple places.
There should be 3 lines on the proposal:
I need payload weight and size X, in orbit Y.
Can you do it? Y/N.
How much will it cost?
He specifically said no fines, that they have to provide the service as the fine.
And if they don't?

So says the Uber shill.
Teens learning to drive in anything but the last decade, without these parental smart phone apps. We should all have died an instant fiery death.
just one more step into the 24/7 surveillance life. Get them used to it early, then they won't think it abnormal it later.
Every other year is an 'election year'.
My previous statement assumed one thing, and one thing only:
What is engraved, in stone, on the Supreme Court building
Interpret that statement how you wish.
Printed in stone on the Supreme Court building.
'Net worth' is not always a good indicator either. Consider a farmer with a couple hundred acres. Annual 'income' of $20,000, but on paper, a millionaire, because of the land.
'Coding' is not the be-all and end-all of 'good jobs'. Plumbing, carpentry, electrical...any one of a thousand other professions.
J.O.B.
Do that first.
Of all the money spent on this program, I predict exactly 1 person will actually end up with a job as a 'coder'. (and he will suck at it)
On road refueling? Oh please.
You do realize that in-flight refueling requires multiple human operators.
1 to fly the tanker
1 to fly the boom
1 to fly the A/C being refueled.
With some tankers, you can combine the first two, but still, multiple humans involved.

What 'country/state/city' are you talking about?
Given 30 years, a single protocol, and 'many eyes'...what is there to fix or update?

Film, or paper prints on archival paper.
" in or next to the Big Chair."
SecState counts as "next to"
