Supply and demand. If speculators try to drive prices up on rumors of a shortage, say a fire at a refinery, any disruption can be fill from the storage tanks. The market will know about the extra supply so no buying panic will happen. The opportunity cost of maintaining storage facilities will have to be balanced with savings anticipated. Have you priced AR-15s and.223 ammunition recently?
My dad was born in 1930. To him the Great Depression was the good old days. No electricity, running water, or in-door plumbing. If all that went away he would be fine with that. To my 21 year old son his smart phone is another appendage. He would almost rather loose a hand or foot than his phone. What ever you have as a child and teen is what you consider "necessary", anything newer you can do without.
Many grain farmers invest in silos to store their crop to avoid selling during harvest time when prices are lowest. Some rent space at co-op owned silos. Having your own fuel supply is just the reciprocal of this. I know first hand that regulations for fuel storage are quite onerous. You would almost think Big Oil paid someone to make sure they controlled the fuel supply.
My hand surgeon has an assistant sitting at a console transcribing my entire visit, putting up my x-rays on a monitor where the doctor and I are sitting so I can see exactly what the doctor plans to do.
Couldn't be any worse then then nurse that gave my wife's grandmother a 10x dose of morphine. Yes, the grandmother died and no charges were filed because it was just a medical oversight.
Question, apparently every other first world country has public health care. How do they keep their records? We import everything else we use. Why can't we just import their records system? Is it the "public" part that is the problem.
Every errant e-mail and embarrassing photo is preserved for eternity on a server somewhere. If people weren't so concerned about who knows their the status of their colonoscopy we could just put our records in an e-mail. Google will compile, sort, and preserve our medical history for free.
You and few million of your neighbors form a co-op, build a tank farm and fill the tanks with gasoline when prices are low. When prices spike, just pump from your tanks until prices go back down.
But there are ratchet wrenches where you have limited room to swing the wrench so some mechanisms allow a minimum of five degree rotation before you can move it back for another turn. Why can't bicycle pedals just ratchet up and down instead of rotating? In a turn just short stroke the inside pedal so it wont hit the ground while still making a full long stroke on the outside. Reversing gears can be included so rotation is maintained on the upstroke with toe clips. No dead spot on the top or bottom of the stroke like there is on rotating pedals. I have never seen this (except on screwdrivers) so I claim the patient for it's use on a human powered device.
Many people in the press and academia detest GMOs. They have poisoned the minds of the population and anything labeled GMO would be forced off the market, no matter if all testing showed it harmless. We will go on, the environment will suffer a little more but these people will fell smug and righteous and GMO producers will lose billions. There are other seed producers, public opinion will be picking the winners and losers, not scientific truth.
You must search for strange stuff. Most of the time Google gives me what I was searching for as the first result. They know where I live, what I uselessly search for, and give results tailored for me. If you have made yourself some anonymous, off the grid entity you are going to get random results.
Does a traffic cop parked at the top of a hill catch any speeders? No, because every one can see him and slows down. It's called deterrence. The TSA is deterrence, of course they don't catch anyone, no one tries. Has worked perfectly so far. Dangerous objects have gotten through but none meant to be used by bad guys.

Well, at least everyone has some water. They had to ration somehow. Very little of the cost of city water is the actual water. Treating, pumping, and delivery systems are a fixed cost and halving the amount delivered does little to lower the cost per costumer.
Semis aren't pleasure vehicles. they are commercial vehicles. Everyone benefits from freight and produce being delivered. As a country we each benefit from what the others are doing. There are a few totally useless individuals but who gets to judge?
Do you want every potato, pair of pants, ream of paper tracked so the end user is the one paying the road use tax?
Yours is the only post that even hints at what is the true problem in Africa is, the banks. Money doesn't move unless the banks send it, it really isn't "stolen", the banks just wont tell you who they gave it to. The system was set up to erase it's own tracks so the banks could launder money and fatten insiders. African thieves have learned how to access the system (with unofficial government help) but the banks can't stop them because that would end their racket.
This applies to American banks also, why do you think we need LifeLock? If your identity is stolen they will offer credit monitoring for a year. This should never be allowed to happen, what kind of business model is based on being helpless to protect your clients money?

Pictures of your baby in a diaper, cute. Pictures without the diaper, you go to jail. Digital plans for banned object, you go to jail.
Do you also download kiddypron but not look at it? When the FBI is after you possession is all that counts.
It is in New York now.
The ladies at Red Jacket Firearms might disagree with you. They adore their pink AR-15s.

And of course you and your friends get to determine what is "fair and balanced".
Except the video camera aimed at the cash register just for that reason.
Is there a spending curve for government? At some point is government spending enough money or is the only answer "more"?

Exactly how many terrorist deaths would you find exceptable? 100? 1000?
