Comment Re:Duh? (China, our best student) (Score 1) 315

Confessions of an Economic Hit Man author, John Perkins, tells how this works: https://youtu.be/yzv9yWDOuko?t... Big infrastructure projects, employing mostly workers from the originating country, paid for by big loans, with interest rates ensuring that the loans can never be paid back. Country then has to give extremely favorable terms for selling its natural resources, or have a 'revolution'.

Could use the method used to load big shells into battleship guns as a starting concept.
Trays extend to battery compartment, open on both sides. A ram pushes new battery pack in, simultaneously pushing old one into receiving path.
The battery doors on vehicle would probably require a mechanical setup that retracts the contacts from batteries, then reverses once doors shut. Safety interlock to not close internal relays until door latched securely would be wanted as well, I think.

Comment Who pays? (Score 2) 49

So if the gov GOT $80 billion in exchange for selling off frequencies that now require airlines (and maybe some private pilots?) to spend $26 million or so to compensate, shouldn't the gov have to pay for those upgrades? Either directly, or through tax credits? Granted, not even the most rabidly business-friendly administration + Congress would be likely to do that.

Comment Re:Squeeze them harder (Score 1) 211

I think we saw / are seeing the end result of that corporate mindset: "They pretend to pay us, we pretend to work"

I'm thinking that perhaps we are approaching the point where a critical mass of people have seen those historical productivity-vs-income, those historical employees-vs-top 10% graphs, and are now indeed scaling work output to pay level.'
