It's interesting that everyone but the person donating the organs gets something. The only reason there aren't enough organs is because of price controls. Allow people to sell organ futures and we would have plenty of organs for everyone that needs them.
In history executing a dangerous person was really the only option. Is a rural town supposed to have a prison guarded 24/7? The resources to do so aren't available. Take desert island with 12 people. If one murders another the death penalty is a moral action.
But in modern economies we have the capabilities to lock someone away for life for not much money. This is preferable because there is always a risk the person is actually innocent.
In reality the whole concept of the modern criminal justice system is flawed. The whole purpose should be to restore the victim as much as possible. Prisons should only be used to confine people to work off their debts to restore their victims. The problem with this is that it requires an actual victim which eliminates 90% of the crimes which are committed against the "state"
If you are poor or have bad money management you may have a choice like.
1) Having your electricity turned off. 2) Overdrafting your checking or exceeding your credit card limit triggering large fees 3) Going to payday lending service and paying the fee.
I assume the payday lending fee is much less than option 2. This is the only reason why banks are so angry and lobby to get rid of their competitors.
Capitalism: Private ownership over productive property Socialism: Public ownership over productive property
The complications come in determining what "public" means and what individuals actually get to do the controlling. It could be democratic, authoritarian, or magical.
Just declare bankruptcy and don't pay the bonds. Risk is always with the lender. Take the debt payments and pass a balanced budget amendment and start over.
It was the left that pushed to clear out the mental hospitals. You cannot be held against your will for long if you haven't done anything wrong. To be fair there were people held against their will when they posed no danger and were just odd or embarrassing for their family. There needs to be something in between. Maybe need a jury trial every year or so to see if the person can stay committed or something similar.
The requirements are still up to the Contracting Team. Also if you go by Federal Acquisition Regulation (http://farsite.hill.af.mil/reghtml/regs/far2afmcfars/fardfars/far/12.htm#P39_4241) one of the the first thing you need to do is market research see if there are any commercial off the shelf products and use those.
If we actually kept developing reactors instead of shutting down and holding up progress we would be at the point where they would be safe by now. It's only because of Luddites that we are so far behind our potential. It would be as if we still had to fly on Comets because as everyone knows planes are dangerous. Well no shit if you are flying around in first generation designs.
So what you are saying is that Muslims are so irrational and dangerous that if we don't let them into our country they will hate us and try to kill us? That doesn't help your case. If I'm not allowed in someones house or country I don't hate them I just find somewhere else to go.
He has addressed the issue of having his clothes made overseas. He says the decision is to either make the clothes overseas or not at all. People won't buy clothes made in the US because you would have to charge much more. That's the point of protectionism and protective tariffs, they let Americans become more cost competitive.
With free trade if your skill set is such that a person living in a hut can do the same job as you then you are going to have to live similar to them to compete or have a welfare state pay enough to live at a higher level.
Bullshit. I have to deal with potential ITAR information all of the time. We make sure to either use specific databases to manage that information or if you need to use email you need to use the provided PKI encryption. We need to take training every year.
There are three prisoners in the U.S. They were all in jail for economic crimes of violating monopoly laws. First guy said that he charged higher prices than anyone else and the government then accused him of price gouging and profiteering. Second guy charged lower prices than anyone else and they accused him of predatory and cutthroat pricing. And the third guy said that he charged the same prices as everyone else and they accused him of collusion and price fixing.
If they don't want to follow the laws then just refuse to enforce the intellectual monopoly laws. Let's see how they like having all of their characters enter the public domain.
You proved my point. On missions like this publicly you set the requirements low in case you fail. You say the priority is the easy things. But the real reason to make a lander that could anchor was to drill and sample. If your priorities were the other things you could have made the whole thing more robust and capable.
If the project I'm working on flies and gets to the moon but can't drill we all feel like we wasted a decade. Sure the PR will play it down but taking a couple of remote sensor readings is not why we are going.
The whole reason for a lander was to drill, capture, bake, and sample the surface. How do I know? I'm working on a nearly identical mission for NASA that will go to permanently shadowed craters on the poles. Because it's a cheaper mission the success criteria is very limited. We must land and take data. But the whole reason we are going is to drill, capture, bake, and sample. That is the only way to really know what is there. If we fail that everyone on the mission will feel we failed. But as long as we land and get some data from the instruments the PR will be spun that we succeeded.

Because of the O'Connor v. Donaldson decision.

That's what it all comes down to.

Of course she didn't have anything illegal in her emails.
Reminds me of the Walter Block joke.

The use of superchilled liquid oxygen was a big step for them. Making the fuel denser allows them to put more fuel in the same volume.

Is there anything a company can do with the software in a phone they provide to make sure it isn't being used illegally?

But they are also greedy and will do anything for profit, except hire all women and raise profits significantly.
