http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solitary_confinement Solitary confinement is a punishment or special form of imprisonment in which a prisoner is denied contact with any other persons, though often with the exception of members of prison staff. It is considered by some a form of psychological torture.[1] It is usually cited as an additional measure of protection from the criminal.
It is also used as a form of protective custody and to implement a suicide watch.
Solitary confinement is colloquially referred to in American English as the 'hole', 'lockdown', the 'SHU' (pronounced 'shoe') - an acronym for security housing unit, or the 'pound'; and in British English as the 'block' or the 'cooler'.[2][3]
like, you know, all the little teeny boppers that hack their 'friends' facebook pages?
what if the hacker is known to me/knows the same people I do?
Ya, real good solution-- Since before the internet was widely in use~ with my very first bank account where I could call in and ID myself to the bank for account changes, ~ my 'mothers maiden name' has ALWAYS been something my irresponsible brother does not happen to know.
I don't dispute the physiological and social/mental benefit.. Mostly I was going for a wee bit of humor, and fact is I can readily see where the 'cofee delivery robot' can save money.. (and I still can, just 1/10th as much so)
I remembered 5th grade history correctly it was an Issue. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Security_Act#Initial_opposition " However, proponents argued that there was in fact an advantage: it would encourage older workers to retire, thereby creating opportunities for younger people to find jobs, which would lower the unemployment rate. While most economists attribute the recession of 1937 and 1938 to other causes, historian Edward Berkowitz subsequently contended that the Act was a cause of the "Roosevelt Recession"."
Now we HAVE social security, and the same problem rearing its ugly head--
this is what sparked my comment. perhaps the solution will be-- kill the old workers...
Think about it, social security formation DID wipe a lot of people out of the workforce, people that then retired.. now people on social security are staying in the workforce (where they can) and there is no 'program' to recreate the same changeover of workforce.. so now we need a "Final Solution"
Social Security was founded in part to clear the way for younger workers.
So many old dudes were working until they dropped, youth and vigour was flailing for social security was founded to get a lot of people out of the working category
now that so many people on social security are again working until they drop-- whats the government to do?
as in, every time- no matter how bad the power situation ever is, especially when 'shutting down to be electronically insignificant to detection' artificial gravity is always a constant.

assets of $112 billion since founding in 1963 one hundred and twelve billion dollars in assets
35 billion in gross revenue.. thats $112 for every person in the USA Net! income-- 3.6 billion..... thats a straight ten percent over the top after they have amortized and tax dodged and debt leveraged every dollar they reasonably can.
why then, are they always trying for more members? there are 7.3 million members today, so a less than 2% chance of making it, and yet they keep trying for more members? if I was a jehova's witness I'd DAMN SURE try and get everyone I knew to be something else.... happily!

if you earn 100k a year, your perks, bennies, and govt' interference may total 175k a year in costs to the employer.
if you work a 60 hr work week, 50 weeks a year, you cost the company 583$ PER HOUR
10 mins to get coffee, twice a day? times 20 employees?
400 minutes at 583 per hour?
