  1. Salyut 7 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... and the Salyut-7 (2017) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6... movie.

    Russia will get it fixed.

    Expensive and replaced a few times? Grid scale batteries have a set number of years they keep working for. Then someone has to pay a lot to replace them with batteries :)

    Re "enact laws to encourage it"
    Low cost power is the key to attracting and keeping businesses.
    Businesses pay more and more for power and then move to another state.

  7. Think of a gated community setting up its own new fast network.
    Its not going to be a new ISP out in the wider community.
    No ISP wants to just be an ISP for a gated community.

    By giving some freedom back to who and what an ISP is local communities can grow their own ISP without federal laws setting out what an approved competitive ISP is.
    By removing more and more federal NN rules and network laws people all over the USA can have the freedom to become their own ISP.
    Without having to be come a "competitive" new ISP state/nation wide.

  8. Improving speeds and letting people benchmarks the speeds? Let some other chip do wifi.

    wireline as then everyone gets equal internet in the community? No community can pay more and get really great internet under federal NN laws?
    Time to build better more innovative last mile services all over the USA without federal laws holding back communities who want to build their own new last mile services.

    Think of the political who get their state back to work. By making every company hire random people from the community :)
    Every company would reflect the demographics of the communities. Full employment and further full education for all new staff.

    yes fully funded "welfare" any nation can support and grow for its own citizens.
    Why pay working people a UBI when they are working and paying tax?
    Save that UBI tax money and do something productive with it.

    Ensure all citizens who are not working have a bank account and get their welfare.
    Look after students and citizens who are not working.
    Stop working? Study? Then the citizens bank account gets a supportive welfare payment. No UBI needed for working people. No tax rate jump to pay for a UBI.

  12. Re "as well as eliminating other welfare programs." most of a normal nation is working and not on welfare ... yet they all now get a UBI too?

    "lower class who are getting more money" .. from tax payers who have to pay more tax to pay for a new UBI.

    Re " if it doesn't pay what they expect or "need"." when why have a UBI if its not covering what people need?

    Re "the UBI is a cheaper form of welfare without the cliffs that encourage people" its not "welfare" if working people who pay tax get it too...

    Tested welfare for citizens who are not working. People who are starting approved education. Citizens who need support.
    Citizens who are working do not get a UBI as they are working and paying new taxes to pay for the UBI.

    Giving working people who pay taxes a UBI will not work out. Thats too many people to pay and then tax to cover the UBI.

    The state gov might consider making the company hire people who reflect the demographics of the wider community.

  16. "market forces" cant adjust to a massive new tax to pay for a UBI.
    People expecting to live on a UBI will find that their UBI pays for nothing they expected and need.
    Time to set a new gov system to fully support people who cant live on the UBI?
    Tax people more to make the UBI larger for everyone?

  17. A new tax rate on everyone still working.

  18. Re "other forms of welfare at the same time, etc..."
    That "other forms of welfare" is not going to people who now work...
    No tax system can pay all its citizens free money without large new tax rates.

  19. PRISM export grade.

  25. Ethics of society? on The Consequences of Indecency (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Who gets to set that "ethics of society" for political speech? One side of US politics for political comments?
    Who gets to flag and enforce that "ethics of society" on US domestic politics? Followers of one side of US politics?

    The USA saw what "chilling effect on expression" was like under the tyranny of a UK monarchy.
    Thats why the USA protects the freedom of speech and freedom after speech.
    Why the USA has freedom of the press.
    The right to peaceably assemble.
    To petition for a governmental redress of grievances.

    Self-evident under God. Not the changing partisan politics to "reflect the ethics of society".

    US freedoms are protected from governments, not for governments to set limits on.
