In other words, I just look for evidence to support my preconceived notions. I seriously doubt you "examined" all areas of the world to come up with this scheme - it sounds like modern dietician dogma.
I'd bet 100 dogecoins that they're using blockchains. Trendy. That part about transparency kind of tips it off. Whatever happened to paper ballots, anyway?
It won't take much to become self-sufficient on Mars.
This is hilariously naive. Think of all the things that you use in your day-to-day life, and how hard it would be to manufacture these things on Mars. Food, water, air, shelter, yes, those are obvious. But suppose you need a bandaid? Are you going to grow rubber plants? What if you need surgery? Even on Earth, modern operations take a LOT of infrastructure and supplies to achieve. Want to make clothing? A cotton sock, say? How much farmland do you think you can create on Mars, given the resources available? Will you be terraforming the whole planet, or just building gigantic greenhouses? Need eyeglasses? Will you be building a factory to grind the lenses? Contact lenses? Will you be making a plastic factory? What will you feed it with, since there's no petroleum? etc., etc.
Basically, everything you can't make on-site, you'll be importing from Earth at huge expense. Even the ISS requires billions of dollars in annual support, just to maintain a cramped, spare existence for a small group of occupants. Mars will be even more expensive. Self-sufficiency is a pipe dream.
It was a dark and stormy night. Suddenly, a shot rang out! A door slammed. The maid screamed. Suddenly, a pirate ship appeared on the horizon! While millions of people were starving, the king lived in luxury. Meanwhile, on a small farm in Kansas, a boy was growing up.
The constant deluge of popups from sites that have detected my ad blocker is driving me up the wall these days. I'm thinking of going to Pihole just so they won't be able to harass me about using an in-browser ad blocker any more.
I can top that...my manual-transmission cars have been broken into twice, but the thieves couldn't find anything worth stealing! (It was a pain having to repair the broken windows, though...)
The EV tax credit is non-refundable, so you can't collect it in excess of your tax obligation. Sorry. Of course, if the Repubs really cared about low-income consumers, they'd modify the tax credit to make it refundable, but they don't, they want to push fossil fuels, because Obama.
So, what's an example of a "nail"? (That can't be hammered in by a traditional database, that is.) Nobody's answered that question to my satisfaction yet, other than exchanging things without government oversight (i.e. crime).
My wife and I are currently fighting a denied health insurance claim. The reason it was denied was that the insurance company sent a fax to the wrong phone number at the hospital, and didn't check for a confirmation. Some companies are barely in the 1990's technology-wise.
For those of you who can't remember the correlation between the stupid names and the version numbers. My brand-new phone, in its setting menus, only tells me the number, so I had to use google (ironically) to find out if I was a "Pie" user. I guess I have Jellybean or Kit Kat or Maple Syrup or something equally uninformative as my version...sigh...
Back in the old days, Google's corporate motto was "Don't do evil". I'm sure DuckDuckGoose won't ever succumb to the lure of money and go back on their lofty ideals, either.

This makes me think of a robot pushing a human worker off a cliff.

And my local paper's "life" section has a couple of articles slamming low-carb diets.
I don't remember any big explosions over Canada, the United States, China
That's because the Men in Black erased your memory.

But will your right boot reshoe?

Maybe we can get them to disconnect permanently, for their own good.

SERIOUSLY?
As long as you don't open the door, they could be doing anything in there.
True. Cryptocurrencies are 21st century pyramid schemes, except that, unlike Amway, you don't even get any soap.

That gives me an idea - cars that detect inattentive drivers should open the windows. Whoosh! That'll wake 'em up.
