Skip the sales tax and simply apply a VAT tax to everything that is sold to a retailer. In addition, if anything is shipped from foreign sources directly to the user (i.e. a retailer), then they pay the VAT as part of the import.
This way NOBODY is happy, but the bill will be paid all the same.
exactly what state subsidized utilities does a brick/mortar use?
Educated help, but at the same time, the educated help makes more money who then are likely to buy products from all over.
OSC has been building rockets for over 2 decades and still very little that that own. As such, they will be more expensive and slower to market than anybody else.
BTW, Russia only had superiority in RP/LOX engines and at this time, merlin is challenging that. For nearly all other engines and motors, USA is superior.
And yet, they would be better off with cheaper in-house designs and builds. That was a lesson of the falcon and merlin, but u and others ignore it. Heck when we did the ISS, Europe/ESA insisted on doing the shells even though USA was much cheaper. Why? To develop an industry. Now that spaced is taking off it shows that we need a true competitive arena in the USA, and not just importing others. As such, ULA, rocketdyne, and other american companies are now focused on bringing things in-house.
Seriously, OSC has built little to NOTHING of it. All they have done is assemble other ppl work. And most of that, came from overseas. So, here was an opportunity for OSC to not only make a name for themselves, BUT to create a low cost rocket. Now, they have an expensive rocket that launches very little. Within 2 years, SpaceX will likely have a rocket that will take 10 tonnes into orbit for less than 20M, possibly less than 10M. At that point, OSC is done except for satellites.
The only players that stand a chance will be foreign govs. as well as L-Mart, Boeing, and possibly any Company that buys one of the lunar lander companies.
Now to hope that NASA will work with not just Bigelow, but IDC on getting them to put up private space stations, and a lunar base.
Look, rometty would do well just to allow the Chinese gov. to buy them, rather than piece this out this way. They have nothing to replace it with, and they are giving away all of their IP.
GE, HP, Sun, Dell, etc were once top notch companies ran by engineers or business ppl who actually care about their companies.
Now, they are ran by MBA's that destroy the companies just so that they can get a fast buck.
And you would be wrong.

You can go through it all, but what you see is that the majority of them are right-wingers, not left wingers.
The only left winger attacking would be environmental groups (kind of weird in itself).
BUT, most ppl miss the fact that AQ and their type are truly right wingers.
You have to be kidding? We have loads of work done on SEP. Heck, we have been using ion drives for a couple of decades. NOW, you think that creating a tug with it will take 18B?
NASA is not the one who will DRIVE the lunar landing. They are instead, pushing the technical arena again. Just like they did with Saturn V.
One last thing: Consider reading beyond FoxNews. Heck, try www.nasaspaceflight.com.
BUT, NASA is pushing for multiple human launch vehicles IN SPITE of you neo-cons. In addition, they are pushing Bigelow Aerospace. They want and NEED BA to put up multiple space stations around earth and go the moon, so as to lower the price of launch. As launch prices go down, then NASA is able to accomplish more. So, what does NASA need to have a base on the moon? They do NOT need a single expensive heavy lifter. THat will make it impossible to go to the moon. OTOH, if NASA can get MULTIPLE human launchers and MULTIPLE cargo launchers, and MULTIPLE pluggable tugs of different types, then we can run humans and cargo to the moon, and elsewhere. 3 years ago, they passed out multiple contracts to study various tugs/fuel depots. 3 were for chemical tugs and another 3 were for SEPs.
Now, NASA's real problem, is that you neo-cons continue to hit their budget and try to stop them from going ANYWHERE BEO. So, now, NASA wants this equipment produced in private space, so that prices come down, AND NASA no longer has to deal with the HOUSE republicans denying them funding to accomplish things.
Idiots like u are killing us. NASA is having private space go to the moon while NASA does things that need to be done but private space can not afford.
is counting on private space putting up a base on the moon. It is a certenty unless the house wins at blocking it. In the meantime, NASA is focused on BEO.
Clinton solved this with a treaty. NASA wanted private space in the 90s but neo-cons killed it. During WS term griffin got it done via cots. Now O is pushing hard to get private space going further while the G D neo-cons continue to try to kill it. Hopefully when FH flies, musk will push BFR which will be the end of SLS.
That is the idea. Kill the SLS and put the money to good use by building tug/depots. The docking will be lids. With lids being used, u can change out tugs or pieces.
Go talk to Google. See if you can cut a deal with them whereby they provide the backbone, routing, services, etc, while your town puts together a small ISP that connects from block-level, or even subdivision level to the home. IOW, a small co-op that the town owns would handle the expensive part which is fiber to the house. From there, they would connect those green boxes to their hub. They might go for something like that, as long as they know that they will NOT be cut off from the homes.

Really? Please tell me what is Russian on the delta 4, SLS, or any of the falcons?
One other useful idea would be for Bigelow and IDC Dover to put their units at the south Pole. After all, that is what will be on the moon.

Tesla does not use that chemistry. Nissan and the others DO. From talking to Tesla ppl, the batteries are holding up great.
Tesla uses a different chemistry, so this does not impact them. However, it WILL impact most of the others.

Obama is not the problem. You neo-cons are.
This IS the idea of NASA. They have awarded 3 companies money to study various SEPs tugs. In addition, another 3 have money to study chemical tugs.
And that was 3 years ago.

Comcast has been losing customers for the last 3 years faster than any other ISP. They offer a crap product for a crap price.
Go talk to Google. See if you can cut a deal with them whereby they provide the backbone, routing, services, etc, while your town puts together a small ISP that connects from block-level, or even subdivision level to the home.

no, they are providing SERVICES, not content. Every last one of the u-tube stuff can be taken by the owners of which NONE of it is Google's.
What content are they providing? OTOH, Comcast DOES own content. So does time-warner, verizon, etc.
