That is hindsight. At the time it wasn't nonsense at all and they branded crackpot anyone who tried to work on cold fusion regardless of their own credentials. Destroyed their careers and pulled the rug out from their funding.

In fairness, It is somewhat easier to realize progress with hundreds of billions in funding, 4,500 companies, 15,000 employees and not having to fear the bullies in popular science will instantly and permanently destroy your career by labeling you a crackpot if you suggest an interest in working on something.

Can I get that in a more established and recognized unit such as library of congresses?

That wasn't me. I'm the one who complained about the TLA being hijacked.

When I need parts that aren't plastic I print them on the SLA printer and use the very high resolution result as a positive for a mold making. SLA is probably the most popular resin printing technology and is most definitely additive, using a laser to cure photosensitized resin layer-by-layer with the platform raising in small increments.

"Tell us you don't know how using corporations to restructure finances to avoid taxation works without telling us"

Keeping money in a corporation to avoid taxation allows you to avoid taxation because it provides a greater overall benefit than taxation. There are currently millions of lower middle class people viewing exhibits around the world, scaling everest, experiencing skydiving, etc and did taxes do this? Only in the sense that Zuckerberg 'restructure[d] finances to avoid taxation.' The process of doing it enabled thousands of workers to feed their children, save for their education and is advancing technology in new and amazing ways.

"The difference between a religion and a cult is that with a religion, all the people in on the scam are dead."

I can't deny, cult has always just seemed like an established religion slur for upstart religions but another difference is scale. I've estimates that seemed reasoned (can't say I'm a religious scholar myself) indicating a couple hundred cultists. Their religion bore little resemblance to the one practiced today. Despite consensus among historians regarding Christ having been a living figure the evidence is pretty scant. The experts in this area are almost universally Christians themselves judging the authenticity of a handful of lines in works which are known to contain transliterations.

As for your slew of links. Yawn. The cash is still in the businesses and not the hands of shareholders. It is called operating capital. They are simply hedging against concerns about the free flow of credit and keeping operating capital. That is paltry compared to the wasteful spending bills passed in recent times and blowing it in a giant load would have the same inflationary result.

"The first thing is limited, the second thing does not happen in actual reality."

Generally false. The very reason they don't pay those taxes reveals the misinformation you are spreading here. They aren't paying taxes because the money is 'spent' on an investment where it is continuing to produce, goods, services, jobs, pay for families/retirements etc. Virtually all of that 'wealth' is represented by the value of some corporation that spends virtually every penny that comes in.

"It's weird that 99% of us would agree with both sentiments but if you start talking about taking away enough of that money that can no longer be wielded as power that's where things break down."

And how is it you propose to take that power without empowering someone with yet greater corrupting power?

Not to mention the fact the new testament books which are essentially accounts of the life of christ weren't written until far after his death. The earliest is believed to have been written 70 years later and the earliest copy of one of these works a couple hundred years later.

Essentially the bible of today is a game of telephone.

Which is what reveals that the issue isn't so much the wealth as the attachment and the lack of struggles (and growth from overcoming them) which come with wealth.

Yeah but if we are talking about Christians before Rome ran with then we aren't really talking about a religion so much as a cult.

"You literally can't be a good person if you hold onto the bulk of your money while others are in poverty."

Ridiculous. Give a man a fish and you'll feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you'll feed him for a lifetime. Giving away what you've earned is not only foolish it is a cowardly cop out. Most of the wealthy are doing exactly what they should to help others with it, keeping it in the economic machines that SUSTAINABLY continue to grow and produce more so there are more resources to go around.

Not at all but getting rich tends to mean that at some point you make the cutthroat calls that prevented other evil people from ending up with the money. And THAT makes you evil.

The SLA printer on desk agrees with you.

This acronym is already taken by VERY well known and implemented technology... technology almost certainly involved in the implementation of THIS new technology they are calling DSP. Name it something else FFS.

Sorry strike that, someone else highlighted the fact the ocean liners actually burn a grade of fuel that is far more dirty than diesel.
