I would suggest a guild similar to the original free masons. One of the reasons the masons could be free is because their services were in high demand. If you were a king or despot and treated your masons poorly you could count on never getting anything built again.
I think engineers know how hard it is to build any complicated system. Whether it's code, circuit, or machine. I think they know how foolish it would be to try to centrally plan a country of 300 million people.
Almost ever law and regulation in the banking industry is designed to transfer wealth from you to the banks.
Fractional Reserve Banking allows banks to create money from nothing and lend it out with interest. Fiat Currency allows the Federal Reserve to manipulate the money supply at will. And when they create money who do they give it to? Their member banks of course. FDIC laws prevents bank runs which were a great way to keep bankers in check.
In 1960 you could buy a gallon of gas for about 1 silver dime which was 1/10 of an ounce of 90% silver which was worth $0.10. In 2012 you can buy a gallon of gas for that same dime which is now worth about $3.
Here is what currently happens in the US. By paying a small fee a corporation and all of its owners or shareholders are granted infinite liability insurance on their personal assets. That is at the crux of the problem with corporations as designed now.That is how many people can get rich while bankrupting a company. Imagine this. You start a company get business loans (usually with government backing) transfer that money to yourself in personal income. You can keep racking up debt while transferring wealth to your person assets. Then fold the business while protecting your "own" assets.
What's the solution? When I built a pool I bought an umbrella policy. The policy should cover my personal liability in case of accident by negligence if someone gets hurt by my fault. The same should apply with corporations. All owners and shareholders should either be personally liable for the company debts or they would have to buy liability insurance on the free market.
The best part of this legislation is you can't bring it before the Supreme Court. You have to have standing to bring the lawsuit but if you have standing it means you are locked away without access to an attorney indefinitely.
You are correct and I should have been more clear. The codes are a cookbook for what works. When I design a machine I have to set up various load cases and then figure out the loads and stresses on each part of the machine from scratch because a lot of it hasn't been done before.
The codes exist to make this job much much easier. For loads on buildings you use the ASCE 7. This gives guidelines for what loads to use for dead loads, live loads, wind, snow, hurricane, siesmic, ect. Without these codes you would have to figure out these things by yourself.
The building codes like AISC Steel Contruction Manual and AWC Wood Frame Construction Manual give you acceptable loads on different standard sized members and joints. This cookbook approach makes it much cheaper and easier to design a safe structure.
That is not why we have building codes. Building codes exist so that you don't need to hire an engineer to design and analyze your house. Think of them as open source code for house building. If you follow the codes you should be able to build a decent house cheaply.
If you want to go all Frank Lloyd Wright you are going to have to hire an engineer to do the specialized load cases.
Property rights would protect you from people polluting your property. The EPA and environmental regulations exist to protect the polluter not you. The EPA and politicians set legal limits for how much pollution companies can put in your air and water without you being able to do anything about it. Also if they exceed this amount they paya fine to the politician not to you the person they harm. What a great system.
Unfortunately you have to learn history for anything to make sense. I'll get you started.
Remember the British Empire? It was kind of like the US Empire today they had lots of troops and puppet leaders all over the world. Especially in the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia. Their oil company had lots of wells and equipment in Iran. Well the Iranians felt they should get more money from the oil so they elected a guy that nationalized the industry. Kind of like Chavez in Venezuela or Qaddafi in Libya. The British weren't happy about it so with the CIA's help they overthrew this guy (1953) and installed our own brutal dictator to keep the oil flowing and the oil dollars flowing.
So he was pretty brutal and eventually the people got pissed and overthrew him in 1979 and took some Americans hostage for a year. So they took their oil back. So sometimes when another country overthrows your government and installs their own that gives them great deals on your countries natural resources you tend to get pissed off.
You really can't be that stupid can you? Did you ever here of the North African Campaign. Why did you think the Germans were in Africa? Looking for the Lost Ark?
Well it's the same as we pulled out of Germany (and left behind 40,000 troops), and Japan (Left behind 30,000 troops), and Korea (Left behind 30,000 troops). That's how we withdraw baby.
Take a look at a map. The UAE or Omar could build a sea level canal right through the peninsula . Heck the UAE is pretty good at earth moving. They could use the extra dirt to build even more islands.
I care that you don't care that the dude doesn't care that he doesn't care that the other guy doesn't care where the go bought his TV. Because that is the kind of guy I am.

You a 100% wrong. The people we are talking about here have Universal Healthcare. It's called Medicare. And it's run by the government and everything.
I see this as the problem. If the family was paying the bill you would see less extreme measures being taken.
I'm curious how you solve this problem in your country since it is universal healthcare too? I assume the government just tells people it isn't covered and they should shut up and die.

I am Catholic and here is their official teaching.
A. The Catechism of the Catholic Church states,
2278. Discontinuing medical procedures that are burdensome, dangerous, extraordinary, or disproportionate to the expected outcome can be legitimate; it is the refusal of "over-zealous" treatment. Here one does not will to cause death; one's inability to impede it is merely accepted. The decisions should be made by the patient if he is competent and able or, if not, by those legally entitled to act for the patient, whose reasonable will and legitimate interests must always be respected.
I wrote it and I'm having a hard time figuring out what it is. I'd blame autocorrect but I think I wrote that on my laptop. Let me try it again.
Why is there such a hatred of air conditioning? I see posts like this all of the time.
It reminds me of that Simpsons episode when Homer writes Bart's cue cards and the English is like what I wrote in the OP. Then Homer says, "Him card read good".

If you have half a brain you can take a look at any semi-automatic rifle and figure out how to make it fully auto.
Now I still haven't had a chance to see how they make the M4 have a 3 round burst.
