    Some countries will fund college education, for their citizens that:

    Made good grades in high school.
    Continue to make good progress towards a meaningful degree.

    No nations fund school for all, trade school perhaps.

    If your for a 'woman's right to choose', your for a 'woman's right to choose'. Too bad you don't like her reasons.

    'No true Scotsman' is the defense of socialists. Claiming the constant stream of failures 'isn't socialism'. My position is that it IS and that it's baked into the philosophy.

    I also wish for your death to be soon, but no 'ill will'.

  14. Whoevers maintaining this trollbot...don't you have a life? Obviously not.

  15. We don't generally have 'leaders'. Those in the role are too clueless.

  16. Over 3 trillion miles/year are driven. That's about one pedestrian death per 600 million miles driven.

    The claims I've seen are 4 million miles _total_ from Google, assuming another 4 for everybody else, automated cars aren't doing well at all. Even ignoring the number of times humans had to intervene.

  18. Just wait until one is made into a sober living house.

    There was a cluster about a mile away from my house. Being converted into old folks assisted living now, after 3+ years of hell.

    We'd have the recycle bins disappear regularly. As tweeks would steal them for 'bag money'. Couldn't leave the cheapest thing where it could be stolen.

    The theory of 'low income housing' is that the scumbags stop reinforcing each others bad habits. But they always build them in mini clusters.

    I see your mistake: You're looking at the definition put forward by socialists. Not the history.

    There are no socialist societies that meet your definition, and there never will be. Socialism requires a command economy, because absent price signals and markets it can't self organize. Command economies require excessive concentration of power, that power than corrupts, Which leads to claims of 'not true socialism', but that's not true. That's exactly 'true socialism', just not what the reds wish it was.

    Can't be fixed, junk the idea.

    Just like all communists, duh.

    The key defect of socialism remains excessive concentration of power. It can't be fixed. Junk the idea.

  21. Go ahead, try and plow through a stationary massive object.

  22. Inferring the intent of 'objects' is a very tough problem for an AI.

    Find me an image processing algorithm that can tell the difference between 'child's toy' and 'road debris'. Cardboard can be either.

    50 mph streets with sidewalks and roadside obstacles is a design failure IMHO. Aren't their standards for such things...Traffic engineers? Civils? Those guys love codes, likely have 3 conflicting ones though.

    So, your saying: If your young and good avoid government work in your country. Sounds like good advice.
