What the free market economy with proper safeguards regulating monopolies by promoting competition is supposed to do is ensure proper allocation of resources. Instead the game turned into who get get the most improperly allocated ones, as much of it as possible, for themselves. Everybody's at it.

The simplest solution to zero day attacks is backup computer systems in an isolated from the normal networks area, running hand carried software on portable disks, and the whole shebang going behind in time, lagging, for backup safety, but also some scouts into the future, going ahead in time, to see if any zero day is imminent. All you need is to change the date and time in the BIOS clock.

As far as the rest of the stuff goes, like frozen federal debt, there is a simple answer: currency inflation and reset to start with a blank sheet. It's what's gonna happen naturally. The Federal Reserve is the biggest loser in this, they sort of "own" the country and its economy, and they fucked up managing it, and are gonna lose massive wealth over losing the value in the dollar. It's like in England the major banks each printed their version of the British pound, and sort of collected interest from anyone borrowing money from them, for all outstanding currency borrowed from them. That does not mean other currency is not generated, such as bartering numbers in a computer system where it never gets borrowed from the actual Fed or major banks, it's just numbers agreed on by two people kept in a paper notebook, give and take, numbers though that could be convertible to actual hold in your hand US dollars from the Fed. I think credit cards also run it that way, their funds are borrowed from the Fed, and if they are, they should be immune from currency fluctuations, because they always charge a premium over the prime rate, and they are intermediates, and if the money they lent out could get a lot of value of goods yesterday but not as much tomorrow because of inflation, when they get it back, they too also have to pay less back to the Fed. However if they gamble on keeping it only on their books without borrowing, or backing it with purchased value - such as selling cattle for money, loaning it out on credit, going with the low interest rate environment in a hyperinflating currency world, then when they get the money + interest back and try to buy cattle again, they might be at a loss. The main reason why interest rates are historic lows (which means that never in the past have they made sense) is because China underwrites the US$ with a lot of sweat equity, meaning our debt to them including interest payments have a lot of value when they collect on it, once they had us rack up a lot of debt it's in their best interest to deflate the dollar and make it worth more in a highly competitive nobody has a job world everybody is willing to provide a lot for little money, while it's in our best interest to inflate the dollar and even do the Zimbabwe yesterdays dollar is worth nothing today, going toward that blank sheet. To make the US economy viable again it's not really the actual dollars that matter, such as what the actual minimum wage is, but the ratio of income to expense, to where people have spending power, instead of sucked dry by bank mortgage payments and mandatory insurance purchases, pretty much paralyzed from supporting an economy other than on debt, and you know what debt does, that only postpones a problem. So one way to solve the job issues to make the US competitive is to drop the housing cost to what prevails around the rest of the world, and then people in the US can work for $1/day, and compete head to head with Chinese labor, from an environment with plenty food and plenty resources and no overpopulation or pollution issues, nor government abuse and too much regulation. Of course banks, guilty of the housing pyramid scheme, oppose losing all that value they obtained on sheriff sales when people paying mortgages for 20 years out of 30 lost their job or slipped and could not keep up, and there goes a windfall of profit into the lap of banks, from which they could get the highest skyscrapers in all metropolises, including manipulating prices higher and higher as a proportion of the economy, out of natural harmony and balance, to where their share and wealth is greater and greater. Self interest is great, huh? The more you can make your customer your bitch instead of your king, the more money you can make. And politicians eager for some lobbying money they can send back to their constituents play along. These days you no longer find politicians with a backbone who could pass the Sherman Antitrust Act, or regulate monopolies like they used to, including dicing up an abusive one into Baby Bells. There is like an abyss of divide between the mentality of liberty and justice irregardless of money of the prosperity days of the US economy, and everybody being a whore to a dollar these days from abusive monopolies, and the more abusive they get, the more money they get, and the more political power. From unnatural prices, somebody taking an unfair, unfree-market-subjugation price from the rest of the economy can prosper well, such as mandatory insurance at any price, or monopolies unregulated at any minimum charge, or even monopolies that should have been diced up into 4 during the Clinton DOJ to compete against themselves for the benefit of the public, instead of running whatever abusive extortion games they can get away with, well that kind of stuff makes everybody's life worse. The Fed and the government's major efforts should be on cutting such abusive behavior. For one, banks and housing eat away too much at everybody's budget and hurt the economy. If housing cost was $50/mo/person vs. $500, that's like a $5 to $50/hr income rate difference at the same income to expense ratio. Well, cutting the housing cost may not be the best answer, but sending the minimum wage through the starry sky, and existing housing cost kept constant, and then somehow cutting the influx of cheap Chinese goods made by super low "unfair competition (if there is ever such a thing)" prices, possibly through tariffing the world up everywhere. China is looking for a different currency because of all this, because, also, right now, we can just print paper money and we use them to back it with work, make it worth anything, all the while our debt mandates that, to erase it or start with a clean slate, we have to make it not worth that much. The Fed used to make huge amounts of money by owning the US dollar and collecting the prime rate over all outstanding funds lent out to primary borrowers like banks, who would then lend it on, and they could do all that while they ensured and guarded the US economy, pull strings in the background, make sure it functioned well, and we sort of all benefited from their self interest, by them making sure everything worked well. But it looks like that sacrifice is well worth it on their mind, because they want to create a polarized Old World Order world with no middle class - Biden sometimes blurts it out what's on his subconscious mind - of only billionaires and welfare fuckers. Welfare is virtual slavery - you just handed over the control of your budget to the government. You can no longer go shop on ebay for laptops, or tip girls on chaturbate, you're allowed to pay rent, utilities like electric and water, by food, but they control your life and your budget. Obamacare does not have a lookup table for everyone to figure out their price, because it is a free floating price to make sure nobody can pay it, just high enough for that, so that they have to apply for the aid part, and all of a sudden they lose their ebay shopping rights or tipping women, because they are considered "luxury items" even if on ebay you pick up stuff at insanely low prices like you almost pick it out of somebody's trash headed for a landfill, because it's old or obsolete or whatever. The answer to the debt problem is unfortunately huge inflation while keeping cost of living the same, so the ratio of minimum wage to cost of living stays the same - well good luck with that also, because free market prices follow whatever the market is willing to bear, but there are some major pareto analysis fixed costs, such as housing, or healthcare, or rainwater drinking rights (it's someone else's water you're drinking, the government already sold it at auction, like they sold the EM broadcast frequency spectrum to telecoms, something that used to be free in the days of Marconi), breathing air rights (it's my air you're breathing and stealing from me, because you're not paying me for it and i bought it from the government at auction too), which can stay the same and get back into a more harmonious proportion with the rest of economy - so the only solution out of this mess is tariffs or cutting lowballing competition from global trade, keeping cost of living the same while inflating minimum wage to 8, 11, 15, ..etc (how high will it go in my lifetime?) and eventually resetting the currency, the Fed taking the hit on their accumulated value inside all the outstanding dollar (which, btw, is not much when Clinton balanced the budget and intended paying it all off the the Fed, the Fed does not function without borrowers such as the government, they needed to start a Montecuccoli for a war you need 3 things:money, money and money.), but anyway, they might go for that sacrifice intentionally when they try to bring back a fully polarized world of billionaires and welfare people, thanks to Obamacare, and in that, they tested it out long time ago that white equality loving indentured servants burnt down Jamestown when their 30 years of slavery was up, and only slavery based on color functioned well, but it temporary had to be halted because there were too many white people still, and they never accepted the theory that noble blood is blue blood and better than the red, the serfs always said you look like me, talk like me, walk like me and your blood is just as red as mine, but in the future in an only white nobles and colored slaves world the theory that one is noble blood, or different, all you have to do is look at them to recognize, just like with ants or bees you look at them and recognize based on physical bodily features, that's gonna work. So presently there is a war on equality and the middle class, and slavery (or landlord/serf, burgeoisie/proletariat, master/slave, oppressor/oppressed, haves/havenots, whatever you wanna call it) is coming back, because it pleases those in power when their kids don't have to compete head to head with somebody busting ass sweating at a job, but their success is guaranteed by privilege by birth. But if that world would be better, the Intel's and HP's would have started out in the United Kingdom domain instead of the USA, and prosperity was only possible under liberty and intellect in morality of those in charge, not corrupt for a any fucking dollar, which they have to be under such government debt by necessity, a ruined economy and welfare colored population breeding out of control, because the more kids you have the more money you get, more voting power, and that's pretty much the only way to raise a family, or have "excess income", because the middle class is sucked dry by mandatory bills, such as quadrupling housing prices pyramid schemes in the last 20 years, mandatory insurance laws enacted where you have to purchase an insurance gamble under terms, conditions and prices you don't find to be a good deal for you, all in the name to protect doctors from having to work for free, all under the threat of deadly infection of, well, if you don't purchase my overpriced insurance of bullshit 900 page contract clauses (why isn't an insurance policy 3 sentences long?) then we know how to infect you with a deadly disease and ask you how much is your life worth to you? The politicians with a backbone dicing AT&T and protecting liberty and good life for everybody - including lawyers that do the legwork like Matlock or Perry Mason, or even Colombo detectives, compared to today's Law and Order depicting a "well it's a complex world" and money and bribes make the world go round - well those politicians with a backbone don't exist, or they are rare, nobody cares about the public, and self interest is the only game in town, for lawyers, judges, doctors, insurance cocksuckers, pork barrel politicians, and the rare ones that do exist get scared with a gunshot like Kennedy, or Reagen or both Bushes I think, to get them back in line, or just with infections anymore, or mysterious diseases, like pneumonia, cancer, etc. The county coroner is possibly the most powerful position in what is becoming more and more a world of the maffiozo car bombers, but they are more subtle now like the Borgias were with arsenic, until the Marsh test, and the wonders of biotech leave any kind of Marsh test in the dust these days, when it comes to stuff like Biden's son, which was a little too weird, usually it's called a total body cancer or pneumonia, or even an ice bullet described as pneumonia by the coroner, these days. I tell it like it is, mofos, and it doesn't really matter to me, it is what it is, well it does, because I'd like the good life and prosperity of the old days back, when the US was the best place to be, because of the liberties here, especially economic liberties because of prosperity. But with all that government debt sky high, and interest rates insanely low over not having to send a dime to China, the most reasonable course of action for everyone is to carry debt, and buy goods today that might inflate sky high tomorrow, such as computers getting tossed like trash over being obsolete because XP no longer supported, until they find themselves in an intellectual property world of rental prices only, except grandfathered rights, with perpetual Windows 2000 or computer hardware or even car license rights without yearly fees, or such as 25+ year antique cars have no e-check requirements from a world when they were made. I recently lost a car that was gonna go antique next year. Oh well. I stacked up on computers made in 2004-2010 at $20-$40 from ebay, which cost $400-$1200 when brand new, and they still do the exact same thing, except they have been obsoleted for web access hosing them with garbage javascript code from sites like youtube, yahoo, facebook, twitter, slashdot, etc. Do I need an Intel i7 seven core cpu to read text on Slashdot? In the old days manufacturers made farm tractors to last 40 years, one per person per lifetime, and restricted production and limited themselves to actual market demand, and accepted such income scenarios of making one last 40 years. These days it's like we want to build tractors guaranteed not to last over 15-20 years over corrosion, to improve our bottom line, or even Microsoft loading their crap with a Phoenix bit in all COM components, by initial design, that get triggered with a Windows update, and kill perfectly working old stuff, and tell you to upgrade and redo all that work in dotnet now, all in an effort to improve their bottom line, because they cannot be satiated by making a computer system last 40 years and limiting themselves to that, they want to keep growing, and improving their stock prices through perpetual exponential growth through the starry sky, which is a requirement for any kind of fixed APR % for banks and Wall Street. And there is no longer an invisible hand of politicians with a spine kindly controlling that nonsense of exponential growth in the background by pedaling and pulling the proper strings, like in the old days. Instead, we get Obamacare, who will pay for what you can't pay out of those arbitrary prices. Yeah the price of your health is very high. Nobody likes to die. What a great moneymaker.

Have you read the Declaration of Independence? It's about bitching about the government. Of course the Hancocks that signed it risked losing their heads by doing so, so they put the 1st and 2nd Amendments into the constitution, about 1. freedom of speech, and 2. the right to overthrow a corrupt government, thus the right of the people to own weapons for that very purpose. In Switzerland it's every citizens duty to own a firearm, partly to protect the country in case of an invasion, partly as a check for the government against abuse. Now Obama and the corrupt crooks that encroached themselves into the government worry that what they are doing is not quite right and it's gonna piss off a lot of people, and they assume that if they kill the 2nd Amendment and introduce gun control, yet another corruption perversion of justice legislation they are so good at, they assume that then they'll be safe. I can tell you this you cannot have a police or military without guns, and when push comes to shove, who do you think they will side with? The people that are pissed, including their cousins and siblings, or the commanders giving them orders? I've personally seen and uprising a flip like that in my life - took me by surprise - with the police chief in the city declaring the police are on the side of the people, and the previous Supreme Commander was dead in a couple days. I did not agree at all to the mock trial that went down, left me feeling sick to my guts, but I think they wanted to put a quick end to the fighting, by those who were still loyal to him, so I tried to explain it that they were thinking it a necessity to stop further bloodshed. It would be nice to avoid such things, but it's like decades worth of stuff that piles on that finally bursts, it's rarely something sudden and haphazard. Just like the Declaration of Independence says: Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
I bitch and bitch and bitch, so that hopefully I don't have to witness more mock trials of supreme leaders. Their problem is that they think it's unthinkable. That's how I grew up too, looking at that guy's face over the blackboard in the classroom every single day. It was really weird to put a person's face up like that, I mean Jesus, yeah, but a person still alive? That's like the recent custom of naming streets and plazas about people still alive. Something not right with that. Or with personality cults of live people. Like Hitler, Kim Yong Il, Saddam, Ghaddafi, etc. But anyway, the unthinkable happened, turned the TV on, woah, look at all this crap going down in the capital, 2-3 days later mock trial and execution broadcast, and the fighting stopped pretty fast after that. Things can change extremely quickly, if the leaders think they can get away with everything, by intentionally yanking everyone's dogchain to see where the hot spots are, to put their own surveillance machine to the test, and, if it works well, they can do harder opression and better milking of the crowd for easy money, but they are playing with fire and it eventually may backfire. Don't get so comfortable with your abuse and power, and your technology and mechanisms to tame the turmoil you create on purpose, everything can change overnight if you overdo it and it may catch everyone by surprise. I been there before, and I did not expect it to go down that shitty in some respects, but it other respects very few people died overall. So there is something to be happy about. But it's best to try to avoid such things, and suffer the evils while they are sufferable, than to right things. But be careful with piling on what all needs to be righted. Don't fuck with what the founding fathers created, like the first 10 amendment rights. No they are not ancient or obsolete, never will be.

A whole lot of the US military supply chain is based on chips made in Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and recently, China. That includes much of the desktop computers. Ever open one up and look at the chips? Very few chips, like Micron or TI or Microchip are made in the US anymore, and even Intel has fabs in Malaysia, Puerto Rico, etc, away from the US mainland, or at least that's what their CPUs used to be stamped with, based on the fab. Much of the Western Digital and similar harddrives used to be made in Thailand. All I ever see with electronics is Made in China, Made in Thailand, Made in Malaysia, Made in Hong Kong, Made in Taiwan (including steel hammers), Made in Singapore, Made in Korea, Made in Japan.

Any doctor that does that the only proper remedy to that is a gas chamber, because them and their kind are hopeless of ever becoming a decent human being. Yes, people can hire doctors as consultants, but doctors are still clueless. The best proof of that is Beau Biden himself, so how can Obama, Biden, Clinton and Sanders force me to pay somebody who is obviously incompetent at what he does, or the scam artist insurance gang piggy backing on their incompetence. Their answer is well, how much is your life worth to you? Fuck you, that's how much it is worth to me. I'm not gonna spend every second of the rest of my life trying to scrape together the tribute payment these insurance cocksuckers are blackmailing me with, under the threat of death and deadly infection if I fail to pay them. Gas chamber or guillotine are the proper answer to people like that. Stack their heads in a pyramid, ask them to blink as long as they can right after their head is chopped, which is usually about 40 seconds of consciousness after the guillotine chop. Fuck the corrupt to the bone Obamacare, fuck Biden, fuck Clinton. and here come Sanders, I pray to God daily that they and their loved ones experience the same pain and suffering them and their rotten new perversion of justice "law" unleashes unto others.

so they probably kill his ass because in these days of Obamacare and mandatory treatment, they have a hard time to justify mandatory treatment, especially when they declare people mentally ill who show up at a hospital sick, saying they are hallucinating about symptoms, and then they force medication unto them, because "they need it", being mentally ill, and, well, patients right to refuse treatment and all that, the case of the movie "A beautiful mind" is a clear example that even mentally ill people have the right to refuse medication, and live with their symptoms, and live a decent humane life like that. That's why he died.

Punishment from a lot of angry insurance scam artist people.... ... ok, now back from that tangent, well, it's a possibility.. there are many possibilities in the world, whether it's likely or not is up for debate, but people do die in accidents, and often strange things happen, and in fact, if strange things never ever happen that in itself is unusual and strange. So we can chalk that one up to one of those "you never know" what happened or why things.

Yeah the existing laws are unfair to gas powered bicycle riders because they don't weigh anything compared to a car and wear or damage road surfaces comparatively less!

They should adjust their fee on a mile-ton basis, not just miles. Of course damage vs. tonnage is not a linear relationship, but it also depends on wheelbase distance and how many wheels are down, contact surface area the weight is distributed over, so each vehicle might be unique, and, as you guys say, its behavior depends on tire pressure, the higher the pressure the greater the localization of force, but too little tire pressure wears off tires too fast, so there's gotta be an economic optimum. Like truck weight stations weighing trucks, they could have special high tech weigh stations, that like a touchpad on a laptop, sense localized weight and pressure. During testing you could inflate tires to some maximum, then some minimum, and watch the pressure localization on the road surface, and give the driver a table of fees vs. his tire pressures. And then he can opt for different tire pressures, the higher pressure giving him longer tire life but more road tax, within reason, and lower pressure lower road damaging tax but also faster wear of his tires and sooner replacement needed. That's the economic nittgy gritty of getting down into the details. And then watch people cheating on their taxes claiming to be driving at a given tire pressure when they are really driving at one that saves their tires more, including getting more mpg's, but hey, that's the goal here, people cheating, which is a good end result because this way people would be forced to "naughtily" pay attention tire pressures vs. mpgs vs road tax vs. tire longevity. But life's too short, who got time for that. Well, not yet, but when it starts to matter, like saving $100 a year on $1500 gasoline cost from improved mpg's simply because you ran at a different tire pressure. Or just computing it into whether one buys a high efficiency silica based tire with low rolling loss, as it's been in vogue in Europe where the price of gas has been astronomically higher than in the US, but also commuting distances shorter.

50 years into the pandemic of liberals bankrupting us all? that's about right. It all got set into motion when the backing of the US dollar by equivalent reserves of gold or silver by the fed was stopped, and it set to float freely. Of course they had to wait until alternative forms of government such as the USSR failed, so that people fed up with the bullshit can't run to it. It was done to create more arbitrage in its value, or more like, create the ultimate arbitrage, meaning being swept up in the streets like this:

That happens to be the the Hungarian pengo right after WW2, but I've seen similar pictures of German Reichsmark, or, I'm guessing there are similar happenings with Zimbabwean Z$'s in the past decade in the very recent past, before that currency was canceled too and Zimbabwe switched to using US dollars internally. So the US dollar has been the major reliable reserve currency of the world, but when its backing by tangible value is stopped, that can send the entire world economy into a spiral. Of course those savvy can benefit and stuff their pockets on such happenings, such as those living off of purely arbitrage, of buy low sell high, or short sell high then rebuy low to cover the short, such as investment bankers, stock brokers, etc. Arbitrage means you do not contribute anything creative, but you make a living off of price fluctuations. Of course that has two sides to the story too, because available capital, free flow of capital is essential to prosperity, and nobody is interested in lending you their capital unless they can benefit from in in an arbitrage way, that is, the profit you create is shared with them, they get a cut of it. Investments and all that, stocks, bonds, etc, when it comes to currency I prefer an absolutely stable one, kinda like Alan Greenspan is talking about these days, abolishing paper currency, and switching to one with embedded value, such as metal, even if the coins end up small in size. Such as platinum, gold, neodynium clad into something not toxic, tungsten carbide, maybe artificial diamond money that could be used for drill bits, something of tangible value even when there is a currency fail, of greater value than mere toilet paper that paper money would be good for. Unfortunately an absolutely stable currency such as one made of silver or gold coins has issues too, lack of arbitrage, lack of interest rates, and lack of free flow of available capital that would spur the economy. Yes, if the currency is stable, and not inflating at 2-3% APR historic for the US dollar (or double digit 10-20% for Italy and Turkey much of the period after WW2), then I don't have an incentive of not keeping it dug away in a treasure chest somewhere, especially, when the rate of return on investments (such as when playing Railroad Tycoon 2 Platium or Gold) is not high enough, say 5-10%, and loaning it to someone, such as a railroad startup, could make me lose it all. Interest rates are held very low these days, mostly because most of the outstanding US debt is to China, as in China is full of factory workers ready to work 14 hr days 6 days a week, for $1/day, all they need is food and electric, and they looove to work, but the only way they can keep the factory floors moving is by lending money to the US to buy the stuff Made in China at Walmart and Sears at 2x-10x markups. So no, the Fed ain't gonna raise the prime rate because that means "free money" falling into the pockets of Chinese, which is why China is seeking a different global currency from the US dollar.

And no we in the US cannot compete with China, because us hunkies, dagos, polacks, spiks and niggas aint allowed to work for peanuts like we used to be in the 1890's of WV and PA coal mines, and meet the Chinese dollar of dollar, or more like, penny per penny, on their labor cost and outcompete them, because now our housing cost and car insurance cost and obamacare cost does not allow us to exist on $1/day, all there in an effort, or more like a daydreaming desire by Da Man who's always tryna keep a brotha down, he think he deserves to extract and collect at least as much from everyone else's productivity by simply "owning", or "hogging" of property, such as real estate (whether rental or banks "winning" the home when they fire someone after 20 years into paying a mortgage from their job, and banks get a windfall value from sheriff sales that not enough people show up to to bid), intellectual property (by forcing everyone to sign over all intellectual property at any kind of job for near minimum wage they work for, and it's an either take it or leave it and also leave the premises because there is another hungry fella waiting to take your job who has no issues with signing over any and all intellectual property they ever come up with - you know what, fuck all this intellectual property bullshit, especially physical wage labor agreements that have it)

So anyway, I, and the rest of the world, much prefers an ultrastable currency, such as the US dollar has been, and even if 0% inflation is not possible, as low as possible is welcome so I can keep money in the bank safely and reliably, but, judging from the sizle of yogurt packages at Walmart, the world has gone into a miniaturize and cut cost by all means to preserve selling at the same price, inflation is starting to go hyper as we speak, even if prices have not doubled or quadrupled in not time. I would be a great fan of a metal coin based currency, that was very small size but still inspoectable under a magnifier glass, and it was made of pure gold, platinum, tungsten, neodynium, iridium, palladium, or other precious metals like that, easy to store in a small place to carry a lot of value (such as a suitcase of dollars can only carry on the order of $200,000 or so, imagine a suitcase of mini-gold, mini-iridium dollars, I bet you could carry a whole lot more, if needed, like if you had to lug your life savings around in a zombie apocalypse, a suitcase is a lot of bulk, and it can only carry so much value in paper money, moreover that paper money might suddenly lose its "silver certificate" or "gold certificate" value if the Fed is not willing to give you that silver or gold certificate for it. Wait, we discussed this already, they stopped backing it with equivalent silver or gold long time ago, probably on purpose too. So anyway, a value embedded into it coinage precious metal currency would be resilient against sudden hyperinflation, and it would never ever be swept up in the streets, because you could take it to a jeweler or scrap yard at least. You would still need arbitrage, and because of that, the face value would always have to be higher than the intrinsic value, such as a $100 iridium-alloy coin would have a $50 or $10 intrinsic value, which should still give enough arbitrage wiggle room for the arbitrage economic bloodsuckers to live off of, who are essential for economic prosperity, such as brokers and bankers, while protecting the public and much of the rest of the world against a sudden currency crash. Of course with a smooth inflation the intrinsic value would get closer and closer to the face value until it surpassed it, such as the pre-1965 silver containing quarters have it, and the currency would be periodically replaced, long before that happened, while the public would turn the preexisting coinage into collectible items and wealth store reserves, kind of like it's done with US quarters and half dollars or any metal coinage with embedded, carried within, intrinsic value, but that kind of thing of course does not happen with paper money, nobody's as interested in collecting paper dollars from pre-1965, because, unlike a quarter with a face value of 25 cents legal tender you can buy ice cream for it if you're stupid enough because the melt down value is like $2 or $10 depending on where the price of silver stands, but paper money cannot be molten down and if it says $1 pre-1965, that's still the most it can be worth today, including maybe toilet paper value in case it ends up being swept up in the streets. I personally lived through like 4 years of hyperinflation in the early 90's, and all I can say it's no big deal, well it is, but life goes on and adapts.

As far as the main topic is concerned, pandemix and whatnot, I just figured out that the grey goo "war is evolving" crap is coming through my tapwater. Whether it's intentionally put in there (and I'm thinking that's the case, because of Obamacare and because it's been getting thicker lately) or whether it just naturally occurs, as in lake water filtered through plain green sand, unfluoridate and unchlorinated - which, there is two sides to everything, it may be best not to sterilize it or treat it with chlorine and fluoride, because, while in high doses those things are sterilizing, where they dilute down and provide a continuous less than lethal, sublethal dose environment, they strongly drive natural selection toward adapting to them, by lifeforms that survive it difficultly, and then the ones find easier ways to survive it will proliferate. This applies to all kinds of biocides, antibiotics, as life adapts, life adapted to oxygen atmospheres (for example, you an i are oxygen breathing) and in theory it could adapt to elemental fluorine gas atmospheres or surfaces where it had to walk around in molten, liquid alkali metals (kinda like the NaK coolant accidents from reactors, where someone gets sprayed by a hose that pops and dies very fast, that's only a matter of time, given sufficient time life could adapt to getting sprayed by liquid sodium-potassium alloys. (This sentence was left intentionally incomplete, hanging, grammatically incorrect, like you see it in books where they have "this page is left intentionaly blank" pages. Just for kix.)

So anyway, how to deal with grey goo coming through tapwater. I still gotta use it, what else am I gonna do?

One, in a different time, before I was born, at a different place, different world, at a TB hospital where they had to reuse glass/stainless syringes by sterilizing them in autoclaves (boiling in water in a pressure cooker that raises boiling points) a rule of thumb was cooking for 30 minutes (35-40) under an exuberantly bubbling condition. Of course that does not guarantee it, as life can adapt to anything, but it's a good rule of thumb to follow, such as when cooking soup with tap water. If you can't bring it to a vehement boil you might have to do it for 2 hrs, which is expensive on the fuel, and if you can only get it really hot without actually boiling, maybe 2 days? Of course this treatment would not clear toxins such as lead or arsenic you might be intentionally poisoned with, but it would probably kill most, or at least a whole lot of pathogens that cause pandemics.

There is always distillation, but drop for drop you're talking a huge input of energy, as the latent heat of evaporation for water is huge. Unless you have a distiller based on free solar energy, or free wind energy this one is likely going to break the bank, but it has the best potential in getting you the cleanest water from nastiest sources, including most inorganic toxins that are not volatile, such as lead, staying behind, not going over into the distillate.

I just though of a 3rd way, semi-distillation, that could save a lot of energy compared to autoclave boiling. It's based on volatile sterilizers, and because they have to be volatile, the choices are few. Chlorine gas and ammonia come to mind. You basically overdose your water laced with pathogens with megadoses of chlorine gas or ammonia gas (chlorine water or ammonia water), let it sit for a while, then distill (or vacuum distill) off the gaseous, unreacted sterilizer, for later reuse. The latent heat of evaporation of say, 3% or 5% ammonia in water is not that much, even less for 3% or 5% chlorine gas, and you might have to get ice cubes and store the liquids in a fridge, but it should be by far the most economical way to process water. And your distillation equipment can be used for either full distillation and paying the dollars for the fuel heat input, electric, gas, etc, or used with the gaseous sterilizers, by recovering most of them. Ammonia might be possible to obtain from urine by drying, then heating (creating ammonia and cyanuric acid, biuret, triuret, etc from urea, and the leftover still a good fertilizer, if anything, being leftover, biuret and triuret it washes off slower into the groundwater), but chlorine gas, and chlorine water should be a lot more economical these days, being easily generated from regular table salt via electrolysis with a suitable anode, and having a whole lot of punch per gram, compared to ammonia. Bleach in stores is relatively cheap and works well as a disinfectant, but when you need boatloads of it, DIY should be cheaper, after some initial investment. Plus you're not sending plastic jugs to landfills. If they had ways to refill bleach jugs, ehh? Life is too good yet for that, these days, but those days are coming, eventually.

You know what's sagging US productivity? Bills. Bills like forced car insurance and forced Obamacare purchases. People don't give a fuck when you take too much from them, and even if they do, they don't have anything left over to spend it spurring the economy, because they already exist in a financial box of a hamster wheel of paycheck to paycheck over housing cost, insurance, taxes, utilities minimum charges, high transportation costs, all pitted against draining the incentive or excitement to make that dollar. Like a dude I heard making $14/hr at a hospital quit, saying on welfare he could live better - housing paid, food paid, had a ton of free time, etc. Meaning he had a hard time making ends meet, so why should he strive? It's like this page says it I been citing forever, http://www.cato.org/publicatio... people starve and die off if they are forced to work for the collective, but if you let them work for themselves, they become productive overnight, creative, happy. Handing your earnings over to some other private party is even worse than working for the collective.

The land value yeah, but the house on it? Come on. Contractors buy a lot for 30K, put a house on it and sell it for 240K. What the fuck? I personally built a small dwelling building with mud and straw bricks in my teens with 3 other guys in about 2 weeks. Don't fucking tell me a house is so frigging 30 years worth of effort worth of a value. What's happening is the housing code corruption bullshit. You ever go to a city department housing permit office, they rape you in the ass with fees, and pretty much contractors and the officials who know each other over 30 years and play golf together they got their little gang or thing going, just like defense lawyers, prosecutors and judges got their own little legal mumbo jumbo we carved out this piece of the world for ourselves and we control and abuse it and punish dearly those that try to cut us out of our money and "self represent" in court when they can't find a lawyer they can trust, nor one that's inexpensive enough, and court proceedings should be plain english not this concocted up legal double meaning subject to misinterpretation twisting and distorting games of language, these fuckers all feed off of ambiguities and they got their toolbox of perversions of language to fight, not against each other, but against the customers that pay the judge, defense and prosecutor, so they can keep making their money.

You know why they have lawyer jokes, like about dead lawyers? Same should go soon for insurance agents and doctors too. Fuck Obamacare. I pray every day they suffer the same exact pain and fate they unleash unto others who don't sign up and buy their stupid force gabmling bullshit fine print policy full of exceptions I'm in a coma but I gotta fight with an insurance guy while I'm down because he gave me the illusion he'll pay when the time comes, and he just notified me I must have not read the fine print, this kind of procedure and this hospital is covered, but it specifically excludes this doctor, see? On the 900 page fine print agreement document that needs to be read with a fucking microscope and I still miss all the gotchas in it. And Obama forces me to buy this shit, and if not, then he or agents in his camp unleash all kinds of hell of diseases on me trying to summon me to a fucking hospital full of corrupt doctors or nurses that exclaim "Hallelujah" when I finally showed up in goodwill, as in, you finally came, we've been waiting for you, it took us long enough to get you sick enough to show up here.

Fuck Obamacare, I got my hands full enough trying to come up with housing cost, and here comes this idiot of a president trying to trump that with something that is bound to outdo housing cost in the long run, because the only check on prices is not self restraint from insurance agents and companies, but buyers willingness to buy at a given price, and when the law compells them, eventually they still stop buying when the prices get too high, but this time they will be doing something illegal, so their no longer worth it to buy quitting price will be higher. Yeah Obamacare works. It works great for cocksucking corrupt insurance agents because now they can rake in the dough, with the same bullshit policies that shake people off constantly, and it all still ends up with a bunch of people uninsured because they ultimately will find the prices too high. It's like on ebay, when customers keep buying if you keep increasing the price, what vendor will say no, I'm not gonna sell this for $100, because I buy it at $8 and I can still make ends meet at $10 price? The only check on price is customers walking away, and when the law does not allow them to do that, then the equilibrium price at which they are willing to break the law and suffer the Obamacare about making sure everyone signs up or they get the worst imaginable diseases unleashed unto them, in a yo, bitch, where my money at says Obama to all the people, and his law works great for him and his campaign contributing insurance buddies who are the ones he truly cares about, not you. Fuck Obamacare. Fuck corrupt money focused doctors, nurses, lawyers, judges, real estate agents, insurance agents, utility companies with minimum charges. After Jamestown the founding fathers dreamed of a country of yeoman farmers. Middle class, DIY everyone is mostly equal world, and they were woried about city dwellers who are subject to economic manipulation and exploitation and cannot be trusted as backbones of a voting system, because their existence like food supply is subject to someone throwing them a bone of a job, or even if they start their own business, finding suckers willing to buy. Only independent self reliant yeomanry can be a backbone of a democracy, who are able to DIY everything like grow food or make their utilities like sewer (outhouse, talk about sewer bills in a city, seesh), water, electric, etc, and the only mandatory bills they have are voluntarily assumed ones, because it's worth it for them to participate in a deal or a trade or an exchange, compared to DIY, and they don't have to swallow side ways the big fat black cock that doesn't fit in their mouth and makes them joke like Obamacare tries to be, bills like doctors send them, lawyers send them, insurance agents and real estate agents send them. Fuck all mandatory bills, and among those fuck housing cost the most presently, but here comes Obamacare that is bound to trump that, so preemptively, anticipating that future, I say fuck Obamacare first, then fuck housing cost.
