Gee, burning down the CEO's homes is a waste of valuable living space. Evict them and turn the homes into housing for the poor. They'll be full of cockroaches within a month, then be torched by the residents within a decade.
China has the advantage of a genetically superior population, mentally. Whether they'll make their government acceptable is the key issue with respect to whether or not they overtake the US. Europe's governments are varying degrees of kleptocracy, and neither tradition nor the trend favors them. India has possibilities, but is constrained by a massively powerful and corrupt bureaucracy.
Good luck to them all, for the one that advances to freedom will advance economically and be an example to the whole world. I think the US has the best chance.
In-N-Out is not comparable to McDonalds et al. Most McDonalds are franchises; wages are not set by the corporation. In-N-Out sells a premium product. The In-N-Outs I've seen are drivethrough only.
Ford's high wages achieved the goal of acquiring only the best workers. If all manufacturers had started to pay the same as Ford, Ford would not have gotten the best workers, the competitive advantage would disappeared, and Ford's experiment might have failed.
Health costs are not paid for out of nothing. If a person's living expenses exceed the value of what he produces, he is a net burden on society. He then lives either on charity or theft (one form of theft is getting support from the government.)

Worst of all is this: "In my mind Capitalism requires:"
Capitalism does not require the fulfillment of your fantasy. Capitalism is a system which upholds rights, particularly property rights, considered from an economic perspective Capitalism's only concern with voting methods, health care, wage levels, flex hours (yikes), and other issues large and small is whether or not a person's rights are upheld and (secondarily) whether something is a good economic choice.
No criticism of you, I also failed to realize that I could educate myself if I chose to do so. For a bright, ambitious child with access to an adequate library, teachers are superfluous.
Within Europe, we're very keen on childrens' rights, and thus it's more important that every child is guaranteed access to a good standard of education, and we feel that home-schooling isn't sufficient for that. [emphasis added]
Feeling in not an adequate replacement for thinking.
In the US, largely due to union power, leftist courts, and cowardly/bent administrators, government schools are of poor quality and getting worse. There are two alternatives available for those able to take advantage of them: private schools and home schooling.
Children's rights have to be considered in the context that they are slowly maturing. Failure to do so leads to absurd and harmful results.
Your post is so full of ideological cant it's breathtaking. Freedom means absence of constraint. Anything that twists freedom into something that involves stealing from someone (e.g. free from hunger) is abuse of the English language.
Said right already existed because the member state has the military might to prevent it.
That single sentence shows that you have no concept of the meaning of "right", and invalidates your whole post. Repeating the ages old maxim, "Might does not make right."
Your analogy among solar power, farming, desert rainwater collection, and socialization is defective. Of the four, solar power is unique because its benefits cannot be stored with near 100% effectiveness.
People dieing of starvation due to no access to cheap enough foods do not have time to wait until you're happy with "giving direct genetic intervention time to play out".
Unfortunately, this won't work in a vacuum: In a uniform clear fluid medium with dielectric constant A, put a uniform clear flat object with dielectric constant B<A perpendicular to the light beam. Light shined through the object speeds up compared with its speed in the medium, and by conservation of momentum exerts a force toward the source of the light.
When the object moves through the medium, it is extracting energy/power from the beam. Because the object is moving, there are relativistic calculations that can be made predicting that the light on the backside will be redshifted by the amount of energy/power extracted.
But I'm pulling this all out of my @$$; I could easily be wrong.
This alters the supply and demand balance. When guys can say "I don't need you, I've got free porn and video games", gals will find that they can't afford to be so picky and demanding. And if the women want children, they have time pressure to add to their motivation.
It hasn't been all that long since a woman's family was expected to pay to get her married off. (It was called a dowry.) I'm not suggesting a return to that practice, but achieving balance would be nice.
There was no declaration of war. There should have been. Generally speaking, leaders of countries are not subject to legal action in other countries, even if they visit that country. Otherwise, Castro would be in a US jail today, following his arrest decades ago when he came to NYC.
The claim of 0.8 THz being 10X faster than existing technology is wrong. Here's a 2006 report of an Indium phosphide device. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2006/12/061212091344.htm. Also, tubes can't make the equivalent of P-channel or PNP devices, greatly reducing their utility in logic circuits. Finally, the 10V switching threshold severely limits the amount of future shrinking possible.
It is not the proper job of government to provide "basic human needs". The government should do nothing more than to identify, codify, and protect human rights; which rights consist of not having your life or the means of sustaining your life damaged.
Whenever the gov't extends beyond those basic functions, by logical necessity it violates the rights of some.
Perot ran twice, getting 20% and 8% of the popular vote, and not even one electoral college vote. That's nearly won? Please step out of the reality distortion field.
Those alternators that do have brushes should last a lot longer than brushes on a DC generator. The alternator's brushes run on a continuous smooth surface; a DC generator's brushes run on a segmented surface with insulators between each segment, which causes wear.
The conductive disk generator is not efficient (see Don Lancaster's website). It needs an extremely low resistance sliding contact to pick up the current, and no such thing exists. It also has he problem that the disk itself is inherently a short across the generator. Thirdly, the low voltage generated has few practical uses.
There are several schemes that allow single phase motors. Generally they internally generate a lagging or leading field, and some disable that starter field when the motor reaches a high enough speed.
In Linux, the heavy lifting for postscript to raster is done by ghostscript. The actual driver is a few kB. (In the case of Samsung QL85, the Linux driver is written in C and compiles to 38 kB, including a lot of excess cruft. The source code is 755 lines, much of which is dead code, comments, and white space.)

Considering only construction costs, building anything that can't contribute to the baseline load - terrestrial solar and wind - is a waste of money.

So introducing a new subspecies increases variety if it's not GM but decreases variety if it's GM?
Buffet $44 billion.
$44 billion / 2 million slashdotters = $22,000. Most likely, you're wrong.

I'd like not to have to wear a hat to keep my scalp from being sunburned.
So the place of choice is where the sun doesn't shine?

Anger and insults constitute a defective response to a statement of facts on how the US is hurting itself.

TFA says "stealing", the summary says "burglary". What he actually engaged in is fraud.
