Yea, I can see this ending well.. Oh, by the way, do home owners have accidental jet crash insurance yet? If so, how much more, and more, will they pay for it?
Could you imagine going to a library and putting a quarter in a parking meter to get some "internet" service. (Once they pass this we don't have an Internet anymore) Oh well, I'll guess I'll be using the phone more.. or will that be metered too?. Guess I'll go back to reading books.
Let's see how your profits drop. Everyone here knows that there is a time limit a person will wait for a page to load. This country runs on consumerism, not unbridled greed. I'd love to be a fly on the wall with a camera to take a picture of the horror on their faces when they have seen the results of what they've done!
Corporate Subsidies are Welfare for corporations and we give these out like candy on Halloween. So.. Why not continue with their idiot logic on freebies??
USPS it or UPS the laptop ahead of you to a safe person, employee, or your company branch your going to, so you don't have to be harassed at the airport.
Are they buying solar cells to charge or help charge their car as a 2nd car to get around town? Excellent! -- Are they driving it as as main car an charging it from a power plant? Bad news! If the second case is true, they need to develop a hybrid with a very small motor that runs at the motor's resonant speed all the time running a generator. It would lessen the drain, and a need for a big battery supply, by acting in tandem with the drain on the battery. Also, it would act as a backup, so the car can limp down the road if the person does not keep an eye on charge left, or the battery fails. If you drive long distances you are better off with a small car with a small engine in the long run, pollution wise. Mine gets over 40mpg in the summer, 38-39mpg winter. I wish I could get more mpg. But the automakers are still in bed with petroleum.
Why don't they just lower their prices? Even if they went down to 10% of what they make now, they would still make a profit with the multitude of commercials they have.
Well.. If you want to hear the honest truth about Plutonium here it is: We built plutonium reactors for one sole purpose - to make Plutonium warheads for the military. Otherwise we would have used Thorium which is billions of times safer. We now have the ability to have laser thorium reactors that can be turned off in a fraction of a second. (China is building them (and solar cells) like crazy.) Did you know that all the old CRT color TV sets had thorium in them? It made colors more vibrant, but it threw out more x-rays. The electron beam that scanned across the back of the tube, forming a picture, would knock a bit of thorium off creating more x--rays. (Anything over 30 kilovolts generates x-rays, but getting back to what I was saying..) Thorium is weaker and has a shorter half life. Had they build thorium reactors in Japan, they would not have had the terrible mess they have now. Their nuclear radiation had eventually spread to Oregon and California through evaporation, and they had measurable levels... Don't take the planet for granted. It's not a good way to think.

Just add more hidden fees and be done with it already!!
I personally don't care what they do with Skype, Empathy, or any other similar programs. They compromise security. You can have it.
They seem to be better at sex anyways.. So :P
Once upon a time we had honest companies and corporations.. The end. - No,. I really mean it!.. The end!! That's the whole story!
Nice idea, but I seriously doubt it's gonna happen. They make too much money data mining people. :(
The original post is sarcasm.

'He who has the gold rules' Ya know something? Gold sucks.
Great commentary! There's even more, but it would turn into a page longer than the 'War and Peace' book.

Ok then.. I want a free car. I feel they charge too much for parking meters... What an insane world of idiotic entitlements we live in!!

I don't think the majority wants to connect with their constituents in the first place!! (It' like putting a band-aid on a broken leg)

Very good answer. I see that you are a thinker! A good thinker!

Time for us to beg Canada for drugs.
Not being a politician. (They are immune to persecution.)
Time to talk to Canada for prices.
Upton Sinclair was a great Author.
Great point! They say, Hey look at those darn pennies spent on this no good project. At the same time they spend billions on junk.
They threw up on the products before bagging them.
