Not that it would be simple. 350 million acres of farmland, 250 million vehicles, at least an acre per vehicle. So we either have to plant more, drive less, and/or eat less.
I believe flooding the prostitution market with fake girls has already been tried, but it hasn't been too successful at curbing demand.
Not all fakes are simple forgery. And some fakes are easier to spot than others. Silicone breasts require some examination to detect and are accepted as still authentic enough by some. However, testicles are a dead giveaway of you don't have a genuine woman.
Depending on your definition of science, there are many other classics that should make for an interesting read. Adam Smith - The Wealth of Nations and/or Karl Marx - The Communist Manifesto for example. As with many soft sciences, they make excellent observations. But ability to predict trends isn't quite as good.
A Marx joke (abbreviated) in former communist countries goes: He was right about capitalism. He was wrong about communism.
I have extreme problem with law firms and companies composed of 2 weasels in business suits and a lawyer owning patents.
Times are tough. It's hard to find a job. I don't buy the "Mexican's are stealing jobs" argument. But I'll be damned if I'm going to tolerate weasels putting on business suits and stealing jobs from humans!
(forgive me if I cover stuff you know as part of an explanation).
Your body is already chock full of stem cells. It's part of regular tissue repair and growth. As an adult, these stem cells have become specialized. But they get the job done. Most of the time.
Some tissues have insufficient stem cells for some injuries (brain injury). More are needed. Some stem cells work incorrectly (cancer, mutation, genetic disease) and need to be replaced.
But where to get them? Sometimes you can take specialized stem cells from a patient, modify and/or multiply them, and pop them back in. Maybe even just move them from one place to another (skin grafts could be called a stem cell transplant). Works for a few diseases and injuries, but you are stuck trying to find good cells, harvest them, treat them, and put them back in to a patient who is already sick.
Alternately, you get healthy stem cells from someone else. Got leukemia? Get a bone marrow transplant. Works, but rejection is still a problem. And it's tough to get someone to donate enough live brain tissue to get enough stem cells.
So we come to all the stem cell research today of trying to make unspecialized stem cells. Your options are to get common specialized stem cells from adults (preferably from the patient to avoid rejection) and make them unspecialized (eventually reprogramming them to the specialty you want). Or you go find unspecialized stem cells (and programing them). Embryos are loaded with them. We'll skip talking about pluripotent and omnipotent. But there are degrees of specialty/non specialty.
Unspecializing adult stem cells is still tricky. And programing adult and embryonic stem cells is still a bit of art. The most common way is to just inject the suckers and hope they take on the job for their surroundings. Adult derived stem cells are also far more likely to be rejected than embryonic.
But in the case of the kid from Russia, the cells decided to go another route. Just grew into some sort of lump. That's going to be a problem for adult and embryonic nonspecilized cells, so that's where a lot of the research is.
So there you have it. We're just trying to get lots of healthy repair cells of just the right kind where they are needed without making things worse. Adult, embryonic: they can work the same. Adult just has an extra step that is still difficult. And rejection is still a risk.
Once someone cracks the problem(s), you'll have McStemCell. They'll stock every kind of stem cell possible. Just call them up and you'll get the cells you need to stay alive. And McStemCell will get filthy rich.
Ha, that's pretty funny. Who's this "we?" You and some little bird on your shoulder? You were the only one talking about the US, and in response to something about the high seas. Unless you are confusing the high seas being some sort of US protectorate.
You might also want to learn about vessel flagging. A close analogy would be sovereignty. Ownership nationality doesn't mean jack. If an American in France is kidnapped, the French are supposed to take care of it. We don't send commandos. Similar rules with ships.
Almost 20 years ago my brother and I played pong on an old system with not-quite mind control. But to others it looked like mind control.
The controllers were lost, so we just used bare wires poked into the ports. One wire in each hand. The tiniest movement would dramatically alter resistance, so we had to remain almost motionless. Not even talking. Even blinking at the wrong time could lose you a point. We got pretty good at playing, but it was strangely exhausting.
That gives me the idea for a business plan! It's like those DVD rentals at the airport. Rent heavy weapons to ships while they are still out at sea, collect weapons at their destination before they enter national waters. Very large deposit required. Call the business Barackbuster (inappropriate name, but catchy!)
Care to laugh at yourself a bit? Bush and Co were not in charge of the Gulf of Aden ("international waters" ring a bell?) and no US ship was attacked until this year. April of this year. Do you feel that Bush was justified in attacking a the people of another country without direct provocation?
I'm sorry, but you don't seem to be laughing. Here, let me help you get your foot out of your mouth.

As you imply, they won't live long under those conditions. Yet another reason to oppose this Arizona lebensraum idea.

Physicists don't change lightbulbs. They rewrite theory to account for darkness.
You proved my point: There are jobs for humans and jobs for weasels. Stealing human jobs is verboten!
Times are tough. It's hard to find a job. I don't buy the "Mexican's are stealing jobs" argument. But I'll be damned if I'm going to tolerate weasels putting on business suits and stealing jobs from humans!
2 possible conclusions:
1) Don't get your knickers in a twist over patents. The US has managed just fine.
2) Sewing machine patents caused the Civil War!
Now I can finally understand and enjoy The Antique Road Show.
Doh! Forgot to select "Plain ol' text" Sorry about the crappy formatting.

Oh, that's the easy part. Except it won't be yours to control. But it will have a webcam. Just trying to reduce crime, you know.

Doesn't work on Somalis. But it's beginning to be used by the pirates to repel French commandos.
Escalation, it never ends well. You bring a knife, I bring a gun. You bring soap, I bring a loofah. Soon we are both just sweet smelling corpses.

Wait. I get that your hand is mind controlled. But are you sure it's your mind? Not your little friend's?

Until then, it was 50-50. But as soon as the doctors observed him, the state of his health collapsed to one state: full recovery.
