10$ per cubic inch easy today... for your part to be made for the low amount you suggest, the machine and materials cost would have to fall many powers of 10 below current cost.
to run this 'convenient shop' the machine amortization, shop location,
wage for the employee, and materials all have to be included.
there sure as shit do it by value of goods my state for example value of goods- law charged 0-200 dollars of value- it's misdemeanor shoplifting 200-500 fourth degree 500-75 thousand, third degree shoplift 75 thousand or more, get second degree
direct connect if the jacks go to a patch panel- right? right?
skip the switch for that circuit alone. there is no practical way to do it with a switch you'd have to convert the HDMI to packet data anything that would allow that- would crap- be really painful on the pocketbook..
will you exempt minors from paying sales tax? will you exempt h1-b visa holders from paying income tax? will you exempt corporations from all taxes? will you exempt people who order things from the US from any export duty?
your argument while grandiose and part of all Americans common heritage, is not workable. it is too simple. Yes, you can argue that corporations have representation via Lobbying (and I think they do as well) Same as the British argued that the members of the 'colonies' had such available representation.
If you want to make any process/decision/methodolgy based on the logic contained in FLAT EMPHATIC STATEMENTS, you have to be willing to apply it in all situations.
So, do you want 'taxation without representation' or do you want a complex set of circumstances.
By the way- I don't believe states should be able to charge taxes across states like this I think states should be separate socio-economic islands of policy, with an eye towards a sort of darwinistic economic effect.

Stodgy states will lose business, residents, and corporate presence
Competitive & changing states will see an influx of new capital
The Carolinas & other non-presence states provide nothing for Amazon for the 'tax revenue' The framework of delievery of goods however, is something those states benefit by. UPS & Fedex buy fuel locally, (with taxes attached) and coincidentally employ citizens in connection with the delievry of goods.
If a state wants a piece of the business, they can create an enviroment where Amazon wants to give them a piece.
I agree with your resolution, I strongly disagree with your argument.

Currently used calendars Calendars in widespread use today include the Gregorian calendar, which is the de facto international standard, and is used almost everywhere in the world for civil purposes, including in the People's Republic of China and India (along with the Indian national calendar). Due to the Gregorian calendar's obvious connotations of Western Christianity, non-Christians and even some Christians sometimes justify its use by replacing the traditional era notations "AD" and "BC" ("Anno Domini" and "Before Christ") with "CE" and "BCE" ("Common Era" and "Before Common Era"). The Hindu calendars are some of the most ancient calendars of the world. Eastern Christians of eastern Europe and western Asia used for a long time the Julian Calendar, that of the old Orthodox church, in countries like Russia. For over 1500 years, Westerners used the Julian Calendar also.
While the Gregorian calendar is widely used in Israel's business and day-to-day affairs, the Hebrew calendar, used by Jews worldwide for religious and cultural affairs, also influences civil matters in Israel (such as national holidays) and can be used there for business dealings (such as for the dating of checks).
The Iranian (Persian) calendar is used in Iran and Afghanistan. The Islamic calendar is used by most non-Iranian Muslims worldwide. The Chinese, Hebrew, Hindu, and Julian calendars are widely used for religious and/or social purposes. The Ethiopian calendar or Ethiopic calendar is the principal calendar used in Ethiopia and Eritrea. In Thailand, where the Thai solar calendar is used, the months and days have adopted the western standard, although the years are still based on the traditional Buddhist calendar. Bahá'ís worldwide use the Bahá'í calendar.
Even where there is a commonly used calendar such as the Gregorian calendar, alternate calendars may also be used, such as a fiscal calendar or the astronomical year numbering system[6].
great.. you know how well that worked with the housing market-- right?
A buttload of debt, and this system work so long as the borrowing continues- it'll keep working right? we just increase the value of our home(country) and refinance and buy a motorcycle or boat?
what is that you say? real estate crash? when did that happen? what is this term? underwater? what does that mean?
how does it feel to know that the US is propped up by it's debt structure. that if we were fiscally responsible, well- we'd be propped up by ya know, value. not the threat of 'taking everyone down with us'
I still have the paperwork scanned in to PDF- just opened the files.
strangely, if you go to the comcast site and create a comcast ID, they require a "non comcast email address" in case they need to get in touch with you...
then why is it all the same here? I am a sci-fi fan, my basis is what I pull out of context from reading many many novels. it may be that I don't know enough 'real science' vs. 'made up for fiction science'
from what I've read, I'm given to understand that
life could be based on many different chemical dependencies 1-DNA does not have to be ACGT based, but all of it on this planet is
2-chiral chemistry says sugars can come in 'left handed' or 'right handed' methods only we need the same 'handing' of sugars to benefit from them, 'left handed (sorry southpaws) sugars are useless for consumption- but would be ok for a 'left handed' life form
3-life in theory could arise from a 'reducing' chemistry vs. 'oxidizing' (our form)
4-and we all know from star trek, life does not have to be 'carbon' based, but could be based on other elements.. (thank you mr. spock)
so, looking at the first half of the drake equation-quoting wikipedia
"where: N = the number of civilizations in our galaxy with which communication might be possible; and R* = the average rate of star formation per year in our galaxy fp = the fraction of those stars that have planets ne = the average number of planets that can potentially support life per star that has planets f = the fraction of the above that actually go on to develop life at some point"
why is there only ONE FORM, ONE DNA, ONE SUGAR, ONE CARBON BASIS for all life here?
if it's 'quite probable' for multiple planets, why then is it not 'multiply occasions probable' for a single planet, and various life type examples available for detection here?
Not disagreeing with you, I'm just questioning the whyfores... (if anyone knows)
smack it across your fingers !between! knuckles--the fleshy bit
now 'windmill' your arms a lot and hard...
raises the COOLEST welts ever.. I once had 4 perfect rings across all 4 fingers of my right hands, all between my 1st joint nearest the palm, and the next joint...
Really.. I thought life & evolution and development thrived on change...
a little flooding, many die, some adapt a little freezing, many die, some adapt.
more-- the 'kickstart' of inorganic->organic chemistry, presumably took some random event, a one in five gazzillion possible combination of elements, random elements- that likely would be less likely the more stable an environment it is..
nice flat temp? ya get algae & molds.... no need to improve right? why?

what if A=Infinity.. does your statement hold true?
they don't do it by pounds
there sure as shit do it by value of goods
my state for example
value of goods- law charged
0-200 dollars of value- it's misdemeanor shoplifting
200-500 fourth degree
500-75 thousand, third degree
shoplift 75 thousand or more, get second degree
I learned something today.
it would appear the two pieces needed cost ten times my solution though...
