It is a measure of our adherence to the rule of law, but really more like sheepification (http://tinyurl.com/lpeltlp), that of all the Enron execs, Wall Street gamblers, crooked bankers, Madoff and the innumerable other grifters that pollute, infect and degrade our society the total number that has been spit on, pushed, slapped, punched in the nose, kneecapped, shot, blown up, or even had his car keyed is approximately zero.
That might more effective than having the company pay a hundred million.

Agreed. In a debate between Einstein and a used car salesman the former would lose his shoes, belt and pants. Knowledge and intelligence are no match for quick verbalisms.
These are ballpark numbers (that someone will correct in 5 mins, tia), but "before" they imported 25% of food supplies, now it's 85%, after several year of seizing land and companies.
If they only used fluid ounces and ounces of weight!
The weight of sand depends on it's composition and compaction, adding tar increases the variability, but a decent number is 120 pcf. By comparison 144 pcf is used for normal weight concrete.
Then volume of 2 T = 2*2000/120 = 33.3 cf. As a 3.2' cube it would fit most pickup trucks, but would need the 3500 model for adequate capacity. A cubic yard = 27 cf, so 1.23 cy.
An oil barrel volume = 159 L; 28.3 L = 1 cf, so its volume = 5.62 cf.
The volume conversion then is ~6:1, somewhat impressive but hardly horrific.
On the Air France 447 crash that is about what happened.
When it got too difficult (or to be fair, beyond its parameters) the computer basically said "you got it", disconnected the autopilot and switched from the more hand holding "normal law" program mode to the freer "alternate law," giving the pilots more control, who then crashed the plane.
When control of the car is handed over to the "Transporter", np, but to mom who has not been doing real driving for a while, yikes.
Existing cars in good working order could be upgraded; it could be as "simple" (remembering that it's always easier said than done) as providing an articulated connector between the cars and removing the doors.

As compared to occupied Japan and Germany, that had constitutions written for them, and few objections were raised.
Philippines and Puerto Rico were occupied by the US at the same time as Cuba, it took the former ~50 yrs to gain independence, the latter may never achieve it. No idea what crazy constitutions they got at the time.

Got three antennas and goodbye to Comcast. I have helped two other families do the same, good for the budget.

Most sensible comment so far. Sorry no mod points.
with a strange problem:
Pick up the phone, say clearly:
"Ok, NSA"
Wait for tone
"Help!"

In countries with less advanced PR it's just called State Security,
Ex: Stasi = State Security, KGB = Committee for State Security
hp-48 = RPN
--> hp {35s, 33s}

Good luck.
It's still common in Spanish to say "plasma" vs "pantalla plana" (flat screen)

Obsolete cars will be replaced anyway.
