Nonsense, value of dollar can be set in a world powered by any energy source adequate to produce needed goods and services. If fusion is sufficient, dollar is fine.
You are confused, this has nothing to do with "big government". People have no faith in the federal government for other reason, namely being power and money grubbing megacorporate bitches.
you mean interesting to hear the cops banter while they pistol whipped the guy until he gave them the password? Hell, here in Chicago the cops beat people for jollies even if they don't need anything.
You don't understand, with your CDs the AOL CD fairy's work was done. There were $300 million of nuisance CDs at America Online, but the AOL CD fairy took a few at a time and flew all over the world for over a decade. It took a long, long time but he finally managed to dump a few of those unwanted CD off at each house in the first world.
bitcoins only have value as long as they are convertible to dollars and euros. they can cease to have any value in a very short time. they aren not accepted in most places while dollars and euros are
actually linux only became strong after corporations put in features business wanted, and other corporation monetized it including ways to have vendor lock-in
and the highest per capita gun ownership is in low crime areas in the USA. The big cities severely restrict or forbid gun ownship (like Chicago which was forced to allow it, so immediately installed a permit system that doesn't issue), but they have the high gun crime.
Logic fails you anti-gun nuts. Toronto only has 2,000 gang members, about 1/35th the number of Chicago which is city the same size, but they still manage over 160 gun deaths per year by those gang members.
the areas in the USA with high gun ownership have the least crime, meanwhile cities where they are heavily controlled or forbidden have violent subcultures that commit most the crime. Where I live, guns and ammo are sold over the counter but the crime rate is very low. Meanwhile, in Chicago less than ten miles away.....
the areas with the highest per-capita gun ownership rates in the USA do have very low crime, on par or better than your europeans cities. But in the inner cities where per capita gun ownship is low, there are a couple violent subcultures committing most the violent crime.
yes people are being forced to pay for that content, even if they only want basic internet connectivity. This even happens with ISP like AT&T, people who have copper only internet connection were force converted to "U-verse" customers
One of the building blocks of a police state is to assume and act if the populace are criminals; they are to be monitored, intimidated, controlled, brain washed. This is the agenda of the federal government of the United States, and militarization of the police is a part of that.
No, the lawmakers and law executives in the pockets of arms merchants and other big corporations that profit from war and war mongering are the problem
my wife's home country had air force with two airplanes (one MIG-21 fighter and one ground attack L-39 Albatross), one of which didn't work. Just checked and it's even funnier nowadays they both don't work! They had five copters too that worked but the civilian government took them over to fly VIPs around
yes it does, slugs are designed to be fired from smoothbore shotguns and are self stabilizing. The grooved area near the base is to allow compression when passing through choke.
even without a slug barrel slugs are accurate, typically sub 4" groups at 100 yards. Most slug are designed to be shot through smooth bores and are self-stabilizing.
People should educate themselves before repeating firearm urban legends, another myth for example is that snub nosed revolvers are inaccurate. Most of those will group 3" or less at 25 yards, they are *hard to aim* because of the short site radius but not in any way inaccurate.

order of magnitude off, it's about $2 billion per year total.
Rational induction is all that is needed to debunk "the singularity". Instead, fear war and other dirty rotten things humans can do to each other.
Yes, that is the one that doesn't and will not ever exist.

The USA is only 4 percent of the globe's population, get your head out of your ass and consider the whole human world.
At least the asteroid exists, your "Singularity" does not

the militarization of our police goes beyond equipment, there is training according to an agenda
hey, that ISS is a *very expensive tin can*, that can hold a crew and a lot of laptops
