So why do you have a computer when you can always wait another six months, and buy a better and cheaper one?
The computer industry is a deflationary spiral.

Wow, that's a really nice business idea. Let's regulate it out of possibility.
Here's a better idea.
How about NASA setup a portal where citizens can donate money directly to NASA, in exchange for priority access varying on how much they contribute every month. Then NASA is no longer subject to the whims of congress, but by how much people value NASA.
If people want NASA, they'll be willing to pay for it directly, instead of indirectly through taxation.
That's called breaking the law.
The Congress also passed bills that allow the government to kill people with no due process of law, doesn't mean it has the authority to do it.
Except in reality this won't actually increase any safety, what it will become is a rent seeking entity and regulatory capture nightmare, as what happens with most situations
It will also drive prices of everything though the roof, because one can always argue for more safety regulations (whether they increase safety or not), and then claim anyone who's against it wants people to die in horrible ways.

The federal government would spend all of Bill Gates money in like a week.
What's your plan for week two?
By the way, Bill Gates doesn't actually have all of that money. He has ASSETS which are worth all of that money.
Guess what? In order to confiscate all of his wealth, you have to confiscate those assets. Except those assets aren’t money, who are you going to sell the assets to? Who’s going to buy the assets if they know that the government could just confiscate them?
Don't drop out of college kids, get into massive amounts of debt being forced to pay for classes you have zero interest in and pay through the nose for books that become worthless in a year.
Because then you'll really be able to start a business after your $30,000-$200,000 in the hole.
The rule on staying alive as a program manager is to give 'em a number or give 'em a date, but never give 'em both at once.
