Read a biography. Most of his businesses were owned by others and he was often close to bancruptcy. Eventually, he became quite well off, but never was he even close in wealth to someone like Rockefeller or Carnegie.
I have a moral duty to help my countrymen destroy the flag and it's government if it does not follow our wishes.
The only thing the government should be doing is protecting our rights. If "our wishes" are to murder innocent people, our government should not do so.
"The Pilgrims" refers to a particular religious group (most closely related to today's "Congregational" and "United Church of Christ" organizations) located primarily in New England and other northern states. Like most northerners, they generally opposed slavery.
In addition, your ungrammatical implication that slavery started after the Revolution is, of course, wrong.
The article has a link to another story at Stanford. The water contains an electrolyte, Borax. The flow rate in the Stanford story is tiny, and the chip temperature rise is significant. The guys in the primary article must have significantly improved on this, if they're claiming 1kW capability.
There is also a large class of women who don't want to work. They leech homework from gullible guys, and cry to the instructor to get their grades boosted.
Sure enough, in addition to copper, lead and tin, the statue was found to contain gallium -- not enough gallium to be dangerously toxic, as it turned out, but enough to repel birds. This has led Hirose to work on experiments to develop a metal that will keep birds away from bronze statues for good.
The article states that the researchers got the informed consent of the men who did the dragging. Nowhere does it mention if the sheep gave their informed consent.
There are several definitions for the word plastic. A broad definition in this context includes all materials that deform permanently when stressed, as opposed to those that deform temporarily (elastic) or those that rupture.
There have been specialty CRTs made with ultrahigh resolution. One technique is to use multiple electron guns. Another is to keep the brightness low so that dots don't spread. Alas, these are monochrome CRTs.
Well of course, but some companies do last a very long time. Hudson's Bay Company has been around more than 300 years. Some European brewers have existed much longer.
Religious institutions seem to be the longest-lived, but whether they can be regarded as not failing is a different question.
AFAIK IBM has continually striven to significantly advance technology. The same claim cannot honestly be made for MS. Consequently, MS's future is unlikely to be like IBM's, unless your main criterion is size relative to the rest of the industry.
"An exception to this rule might be made for H. sapien sapien, but one could argue we're operating outside of natural selection now
Alas, a popular thought, but quite uncontroversially false,..."
I think you didn't understand the point. Humans to some extent operate under un natural selection now, in the sense that our selection is consciously directed and technologically modified.
Back in the early 50s a new black and white TV was $500 in dollars that were generally 10x more valuable than today. (Think 20 cent loaves of bread, gold at $32 an ounce.)
Today, many people refuse to do without unnecessary expenses. (Cable TV, internet connection, single family home)

Yes. It's called photosynthesis.
Headphones that achieve a good seal in/on/around the ear can be flat down to DC.

Sentences often run concurrently. There's always bankruptcy.

Don't hand in final results until you've received payment for a significant part of the project.
Exxon is among the companies which have invested in solar cell research.

The Pledge of Allegiance is a reference to be relied upon for discovering truth? Therefor "God" exists and we're UNDER "him"? PTUI.
Are you implying that subsistence farming is fun? Working pre-dawn to dark and then falling into exhausted sleep, each day?
Pournelle is in many respects highly statist. Hardly right-wing.

Look, two symbols of the democrat party: a jackass and a thief.
Not likely. Required power to overcome aerodynamic drag is proportional to the cube of speed.
Assuming you mean availability of affordable food, yes. It's called the green revolution.
Why should I pay someone $50 to mow my lawn, when the kid next door will do it for $10?
