Lighters work very nicely at 6000 feet. Go to the summit of Mt. Washington or Mount Mitchell, and you will see smokers lighting up with a variety of lighters. Westerners with higher mountains will also notice lighters work at altitudes much higher than six thousand feet.
In India they are "turning out" only a small portion of their population:

REAL ID is a nationwide effort intended to prevent terrorism, reduce fraud, and improve the reliability and accuracy of identification documents that State governments issue.
Government at all levels is well known for its magnificent record when it comes to reliability and accuracy.
Only Government approved terrorists and fraudsters will receive REAL ID.
You haven't been to a "Practice" lately. When MDs group together, their bean counters push up prices and squeeze the patients. I have personally seen deliberate misinformation given to potential patients about office fees, cost of procedures and "consultations". Greed is not limited to investors.
This is a normal business practice. Every company checks localities for tax breaks before committing to a major investment.
Here, in the American southeast, jobs are very important. An investment of six hundred million dollars and two hundred jobs is a fair trade for the tax break requested. And I doubt Google will have many minimum wage jobs at their new location.
This is the same treatment given to everyone from bakeries to automobile manufacturers. All will receive tax breaks for new plants and jobs. The only question is how much.
After reading this thread, I see no one has considered the two classical solutions.
Extend the empire. We seized 2/3 of Mexico in 1847. Take the remainder. As a bonus, Mexico has oil. The benefits of US citizenship will be extended to all Mexicans, not just those free to travel here. As sorry as American government seems at times, it would be a huge improvement over Mexican government.
Set up a multi-tiered citizenship model. Levels descending from full citizenship to denizens of the town with no privileges. Have privilege levels based on education, national service, or whatever seems appropriate.
While I personally advocate neither solution, it seems odd that they are never brought up in any discussion about illegal immigration.
Don't know about the rest of the U.S., but here in Virginia, only lawyers with experience in capital murder cases, are assigned to defend indigents who are charged with a capital crime. These lawyers are very good.
You can copyright the design of a chair. This Side Up successfully sued imitators. You can make crate furniture, but not copy exactly a This Side Up design.
The classic British furniture designers made and sold design books. These were protected by the copyright of the era.
The Federal Government controls the actions of states by attaching conditions to funding. Highway speed limits and the.08 alcohol limit are examples.
Easily done in other areas.
I work for a large cemetery. Every year, we have two periods when teens are killed in automobile accidents. The few weeks after school starts and the few weeks after school is out.
These accidents seldom involve speeding. They usually happen in the teens own neighborhood. Losing control of the vehicle and hiting something solid or rolling over cause the fatalities.
Better driver education, more emphasis on seatbelt use, etc. would save more lives than any speed recorder.

Anarchy, terror and violence are a police prerogative.
I watched this convention on television and saw the mass arrests in D.C. during the Nixon years.
Police are always politically controlled and will commit any violence necessary to satisfy their masters.
When police leave criminal investigations to enforce political decisions, no one is safe.

It would better if they would work on perfecting the brain/mouth interface.

A lot of research is taxpayer funded. Shame if the taxpayers get the information without paying a "prestigious journal" publisher.
But you have to read it and apply its lessons every day.

MacArthur's Inchon landing was a good example of how to flank fixed lines.
Same fellows who predicted the precipitous decline of the daily newspaper?
With advice like that, they can stop the presses now.
