Isn't that the basic tradeoff between wealth and health that everybody has to choose between? You can always be poor and ignorant instead and not go to college.
Now, youngster, you just need to learn to like the Ramen and Peas, just like we used to. You can still get Top Ramen for under $5 for a pack of 10, and canned peas for under $10 for a case of 12. Then all you need is a teakettle and you've got dinner anytime you want it.
Nope, those are all fake news too. I'll give you a hint- if you don't have to pay to read it, it's fake and only exists to draw your eyeballs away from the real news that matters.
Look into who owns the Washington Post. It's gone far downhill in the last year or two. But I'm sure, as a anti-Trump genocidal maniac, you like that sort of thing.
Which I also consider to be a tabloid (along with all the rest of the so called "24 hour news" stations that report a bunch of useless uninformed opinions instead of actual facts). Fox, CNN, MSNBC, they're all crap.
Not necessarily. There have been famous Catholic Saints with very meaningless jobs from the outside. St. Andre Bessette was "shown the door and never left" when the monks rejected him (became porter for the Monastery for the next 60 years). There have been millions of fullfilled, dignified janitors sweeping the floor, dishwashers, and the like.
I say a mixture of the two is best- guaranteed jobs for everybody AND a guaranteed wage supplement for everybody that covers just enough for food, clothing, and shelter for one person.
That way, if you want to be an entrepreneur and not a wage slave, you can without starving to death.
Yes, so why didn't they take the opportunity to decentralize and use ambient energy?
Some of those mountaintops should be great places to put windmills. Some of the rest should be good places to put solar battery shacks on. Deep Sea Siphoning can also provide electricity, as can wave and tidal generators, for cities and homes and hotels closer to the seashore.
The first was looking for (and actually found) Americans working for foreign governments as spies (most people just remember the paranoia of their "name names and we'll investigate them too" strategy of justice, they forget that the Rosenblooms were actually convicted in a court of law and executed).
Corruption is to be expected in a police state, and figured into the cost of doing business.
The ACLU were in active revolt against the government for quite some time.
NONE of these activities that you complain about being prosecuted for, are legal in a police state, nor are they acceptable in a rule of law based civilization. Even the corruption that normally comes with a police state, can be adjusted by simply making accepting a bribe a capital crime.
"only way people can guard against abuse(and even just use) of facial recognition, is through knowing how it is done(where the cameras are, how the software works, what are details in database used) etc etc). government should stick to facilitating opening all those details to everyone. it should not act to regulate that knowledge, as it wants, including to its own uses, without opening it up."
If you didn't mean that open source can guard against all abuse, then what did you mean?

Where did you get the champagne ?
I can't get brown rice, ham, and eggs for a cost of less than $1.50/meal...where do you live that food is that cheap?
Maybe where you live. Veggies and protein for under $1/meal? I challenge that. Give me a meal plan that costs under $21 a week.

Don't forget to add in their travel time, brings it down considerably, but yeah.

Nope, I'm a Distributist, not a capitalist.

It is owned by Amazon and it publishes rumors.
You do realize that the New York Post, like the Washington Post, is a tabloid, right?
Not necessarily. There have been famous Catholic Saints with very meaningless jobs from the outside. St. Andre Bessette was "shown the door and never left" when the monks rejected him (became porter for the Monastery for the next 60 years).

Someday I want to POC a digital wallet for local auto-expiring currency issued by the local metropolitan area. Kind of like the Worgl Miracle. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W%C3%B6rgl#The_W%C3%B6rgl_Experiment
Ideally this would be a cell phone app, so that it could take advantage of GPS information to limit the use of the currency to a geographic area.
I resemble this remark.
Children, when properly fed, sequester more carbon than they consume.
Of course, then they die of heart attacks at age 36 and 650 lbs, but at least you're saving the planet when you bury that oil producing carcass!
That is why you put pexiglass over them.
Why hasn't Florida run all electricity in underground waterproof cables yet?
Not one- but 950 of them could. And with no transmission wires to be knocked out by a storm, would continue to do so long into the next disaster.

At which point the next level government higher up, in a true police state, executes all the local officials. Hardly worth it, don't you think?

I would like to see 100% of the American border guarded by:

The fewer human beings that are involved in the defense of no-man's-land style borders, the better.
But then again, I'm an anti-globalist who wants to stop smuggling and trade. Stopping immigration is just a byproduct of ending the first two.
If you don't break laws, you never come to the attention of the authorities.
