If the map in your self-driving car says that there is no such address as 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, Washington, DC, your self-driving car will not be able to go there. It is a lot easier to limit people in that fashion than any method they can use today.

At which point, great, you will only be able to travel to those places which your betters determine that it will be good for you to travel (primarily so that you do not pollute the places they want to be by your presence).

Good grief, I have already seen posters on slashdot saying that people should be forced into self-driving cars as soon as they are available. Are you trying to say that politicians and bureaucrats will not encourage such sentiments so that they can control where we go?

Except it means that while the people who were buying hybrids are now buying pure-electric vehicles, the people who weren't buying hybrids, still aren't buying hybrids. That means that the number of people who stopped buying ordinary gas vehicles has peaked.

We were discussing the IDEAL diet, not just the diet you could survive on.

As others have pointed out, it is not that straightforward. I have a good friend who used to eat a high carbohydrate, low fat diet, as was the recommendation of dieticians at the time. She had to eat something every two hours or she would begin to get tunnel vision and other symptoms of low blood sugar. Then she changed her diet to one significantly higher in fat. By doing so, she was able to eliminate the need to eat so frequently. Several other minor health issues went away for her as well. This is just one example. Some people should eat a diet with a different balance of calorie sources than that which others should eat. The same is certainly true of fiber and other aspects of one's diet.

I have the same problem. I currently have a BMI of 30.5 and a body fat of under 10%.

Does this solution exist at this time? If the answer is "Yes", than the OP was using the normal definition of the word "already".

I think you are touching on the heart of the problem, but not stating it explicitly. The main reason that it is so hard to determine what the ideal diet is is that the answer is different for everyone.While there are groups of people whose dietary needs are close enough that they can follow the same basic nutritional plan, there are other groups of people for whom that basic nutritional plan is not healthy.

Interestingly enough, using the term "Inuit" to refer to a single group of people is racist, since "Inuit" translates as "people". If you refer to one group as "people" you are in essence saying no one else is a person.

The Tea Party is not an actual political party. It is not even an organization.

Unfortunately for them, the voters did not allow them to sway their votes and they voted for Brat anyway...or didn't you know that Cantor outspent Brat 25:1?

We are not talking about tenure at a university, we are talking about tenure in k-12.

I will accept that the science is settled when the scientists and politicians who claim that the science is settled stop jetting around the world to meetings to discuss how they can get other people to stop jetting around the world to meetings.

Of course, since then things have gotten worse...Actually, I would question your suggestion that a teaching position was a super sweet patronage position or that teachers did not actually do anything. Especially when you consider that Americans were in general better educated when tenure was introduced than they are today. The purpose of tenure was to reduce the level to which teachers were accountable to the people who pay their salaries (the voters). This allows teachers to focus more on indoctrinating children into progressive ideals (which the parents may not approve of) than on actually teaching them unimportant things like how to read or do basic math.
The basic theory of progressivism is that the "elites" (in other words, the bureaucrats) know better than everyone else how things should be done. The progressive solution to government corruption is to reduce the accountability of government workers to the voters. Tenure for teachers grows out of that the theory that a government worker who is unaccountable to anyone will be less corrupt than one who has to answer to an elected politician.
