Right, just trust the authorities. Surely they all have well proven track records and weren't simply hired straight out of college with nothing but a degree in the humanities.
Also funny that you don't seem to realize that there are a lot of people. As such, it doesn't really matter how much you limit the amount of free fuel, it will remain poorly distributed and misused.
You're going to need a lot more nuclear plants for that. If they are light water, they'll all be fucked during the next disaster. Best allow research for LFTR's.
The ONLY way to stop burning fossil fuels is to introduce a power source that is cheaper. Any and all action that ignores this basic rule of economics will either be circumvented, or result in tragedy.
I wonder if you even realize how many people thoughts like that have slaughtered in just the past century?
Saying "this is not an economics issue" is like saying "this is not a physics issue" in the middle of a plane crash. If there was ever a time you wanted to know and follow the laws of economics, it is during a disaster. If there was ever a time you wanted to know and follow the laws of physics, it's during a plane crash, It might just save you life, and those of others. Hell, if you can reach the cockpit, you might even be able to right the plane, especially when you have a madman at the helm.
Are you retarded? Drugs and prostitution only cause violence because the government has outlawed them. There isn't any violence associated with them in the Netherlands, where they are legal.
High prices attract competition. Extraordinarily high prices attract competition FAST.
But you would prefer to just let everyone die in the dark, it seems. And they will, thanks to people like you, and those who use guns to enforce your sadistic "morality" upon the unwilling.
"Liberal" outside the US generally means something a lot closer to what "socialist" means in the US. Liberal hasn't meant what you said there for many decades anywhere. At least not to my knowledge.
But they don't do that, you fucking retard. You think people get rich by pissing away their money?
Katrina? You mean the one where government troops kept people from leaving New Orleans at gunpoint? That wasn't we the people doing that. It was dumbshit government officials. Also funny that you talk about Katrina, with it's death toll of 1833, while a few years ago France allowed 3000 old people to die from a fucking heat wave. Just because you see what America does more often doesn't make it worse than anyone else, even Western European countries.
That immorality insures continued supply. Human beings are motivated by profits, primarily. If there is a lot of money to be made, it will make people get off their asses and get to providing. Stupid laws like this discourage people from doing so, meaning that only those who skirt the law will fill the void, raising prices and introducing violence, fraud, etc.
You have to understand that everything you think you know about morality is just plain wrong. Backwards. Destructive. But who cares, at least they get to go to Heaven (lol).
If they are artificially high, then no trade takes place, as there are other offers available. If they are artificially low (ie free gas from FEMA), then the supply rapidly runs out, then no-one has any gas, no matter how much they need it.
Which was this guy doing? The one that hurts no-one, or the one who hurts everyone?
I said no such thing. And NOTHING is certain. p does not equal 1 at any point within the known universe. That doesn't mean we can't notice trends and make predictions based on them.
Also, labor has not gotten more expensive, money has gotten cheaper. Price wages in non-dilutable currency ie gold, and you will notice a couple of trends, with an interesting junction between them. Look up the time of the sudden change with regards to monetary policy, and you will find the cause.
You can hate your fellow man all you like, but your hate will never change anything. Might as well slice the head off of a hydra as kill a welfare recipient. The money you "save" by doing so will simply be redirected to some other form of welfare.
Why? Healthcare was freely available to the poor prior to government involvement in the industry. Doctors would even make housecalls to tenement houses.
Free markets work, no matter what you say about them. If they didn't, then computers would be ultra expensive and unavailable, while the Post Office would make money.
No, it's the ones who feed them that are the problem. Those who create perverse incentives are the ones who break systems. You can't fault a person for maximizing their gain under the rules of the system they live in.
50 years ago, insurance was rare, and medicine was cheap. Today insurance is everywhere due to tax favored status, and medicine is expensive. The correlation is very high.
That's like saying that pilots break the law of gravity. The laws of economics aren't enforced by policemen, they are a result of natural human interactions.
Funny how you attribute the perverse behaviors of individuals under the influence of government imposed regulations and incentives to the "free market". If a farmer in a free market burned his crops, he would drive the price up for all the other sellers of that crop, and he would lose market share. Anyone who did this regularly would go out of business. You need to stop confusing commodities like food crops with brands like Apple.
This is why the second resource to be scouted on Mars for local consumption (after water) will be fissile material (probably Thorium so you don't need vast amounts of water and a pressure container). You can use solar power to extract a small amount to put into a pilot reactor, which will then power the production of a full sized plant, which can power the rest of your operations.

Clearly you should be complaining about price gouging. Oh wait, it's because of government taxes, and the government has all your guns. Whoops.
You would prefer for them to have nothing, and for no-one to bring it to them. Very compassionate.

Currently, we are paying for more oppression and waste.

Sweet. I have a radish to sell you. It only costs $100,000,000. No such thing as supply and demand, so you shouldn't have a problem with that.
Even if they cost $20? -15% a year is way different than +8% a year.
No, two words. Fascist healthcare.

Things change, therefore, we should never do anything different.
Therefore ban all computers.
Great.
