Waste can be dealt with with reprocessing and storage of what can't be reprocessed at WIPP. Assuming there's the political will to repeal peanut-farmer President era restrictions on reprocessing.
We should be building Mk. 3 reactors, completing several per year on existing Mk. 1 sites.
The cost is doable if we stop throwing away trillions of dollars on military homicide sprees abroad.
I'm not arguing for keeping 1960s-design BWRs in operatio long-term, I'm arguing for keeping them in operation only long enough to built 3rd and 4th generation reactors to replace them. Solar and wind are intermittent, nuclear is continuous and reliable. The French have done it right since the 1970s.
I've ordered Apple equipment online and I've seen it be air-shipped from China via Anchorage, even when I chose regular shipping... Apple seems to do "just in time" sales vs warehousing hardware in the USA.
The mode of shipping to brick-and-mortar Apple dealers may be by ship, though.
0.03 degrees here, 0.03 degrees there, adds up to whole degrees if multiple measures are taken. One person dumping lead paint on the ground isn't a major problem, everyone doing it makes a Superfund site.
Cowardly closings of nuclear power plants post-Fukushima are finally hitting home? Less nuclear = more fossil fool energy. Never mind that, despite a few high-profile accidents, commercial nuclear power is a lot safer than any other mode of electricity production.
Advertising toys that will be out-of-fashion in a month, cost $250, and cost $2.50 to make in China to kids should be illegal. Actually, many European countries and Canadian provinces actually DO prohibit ads targeted at children under 12.
Don't want to be taken advantage of by the secondary market? Don't buy your kids the latest faddy junk; teach then some discipline. Plenty of fun toys that aren't the latest lemming frenzy.
Maybe breaking Win32 is a feature? If the (cloud-free, private, and paid-for) apps are deprecated and "hidden" when opening files, then maybe Microsoft can push more 64-bit cloudware from their "store" onto hapless users. Only $9.99 per month! Step riiiiiiiight up! Apps, Maps, and Zaps! Stepppppp riiiiight up!
I'd suspect it would be the other way around -- right-wingers sending left-wing intellectuals to mine coal or something. It's not a left-right issue, it's an authoritarian-libertarian axis.

Bullshit.

That's not a problem, that might be a solution to the problem.

Haha, I moved to where I don't have to own a damn car at all, and if I buy one, it can be something impractical and fun like a Miata or motorbike.
I ride too, but that's not feasible as a daily driver in all climates.
I could be getting 40 mpg in a Civic or north of 50 in a Prius. Why would I want a land-barge that gets under 20 mpg if I can do a lot better?
Oil companies aren't charities, and I don't want to send 2x the money to them that I'd otherwise send.
Horseshit. How was the $1000 Beanie Baby of the 90s worth more than the $20 teddy bear in a toy store?
I'm free to:
(1) Stream video.
(2) Read a book.
(3) Take a train upstate and go on a hike.
(4) Go skiing or biking.
(5) Converse with an actual human.
If all you talk about around the water cooler is the latest pap served up on TV, get better cow-orkers.
100 mbps or even 50 can stream ten videos at once. Why do you need Gigabit?
Gigabit is a sham anyway -- the rest of the Internet isn't really fast enough to benefit from it. Downgrade to 100 mbps and call it a day.
Hell no, not unless they were actual violent criminals. (i.e. people in authority who used their position to brutalize others)
You MUST rent it. You can also bridge the thing and treat it as a demarc.
We're talking about Chuckles Scummer, the same blithering idiot who tried to introduce legislation for a "no ride list" for commuter trains in 2011.

People still run Win XP -- there's no sin or shame in running Win 7 past end of "support."
Put drive in sled.
Offload user data (if any).
Wipe drive.
Install a real OS and software.
Restore user data.
"I see you're trying to download VLC. Use Microsoft Cloud Player instead, it's more secure."
INSTALL ANYWAY (In light grey type)
USE MCP (default option, in dark text)
Windows 10 was literally forced on a lot of users ... just like ... a virus.

OK, 150-person. Still should be able to board from both ends in not much more time than it takes a 50-person bus to board (75 people per door vs 50).
In a just world, both private and government data pimps would rot in prison until they died.
