There are plenty of humans who would volunteer for tests with full knowledge and understanding of the risks.

Should I take it that YOU are part of that "plenty of humans who would volunteer"?

And if not, why not?

We'll just export it all to the counties where the unions and government actually protect their workers and put the long-term common good of the people ahead of powerful corporations' profits for the next quarter.

Which'll put all those people in other countries out of work, when what they sell costs way more than what you sell. Again, they won't be able to buy your stuff, and you won't be able to sell your stuff.

He may well believe that past results are no indication of future results, there's one overwhelmingly important fact that comes to mind: noone will be able to buy the stuff made in the robot factories if we're all unemployed or minimum wage serfs.

And if noone can buy the stuff, the owners aren't going to get rich selling the stuff. Which means THEY won't be able to buy stuff either....

You've fortified your country, limited immigration

I find myself curious - which countries do you know that don't limit immigration? Off the top of my head, I can't think of one (though it's possible that there are failed states that CAN'T control their borders)....

I'm assuming European elk (American moose) - OP called it an elk, and referred to "here in Sweden"...

And yes, a moose (European elk) is much more dangerous than a wapiti (American elk)

That cost probably includes adding water/electrical/phone/sewer/roads/etc. which all cost quite a bit.

What, you don't think that normal house prices include the cost of water/electrical/sewage/roads/etc? You bet your sweet life that a new subdivision is going to include those costs in the house prices....

He is a political refugee, he has sought and been granted political asylum by Ecuador. So at least one sovereign nation has called BS on the political witch hunt.

I take it you think Ecuador is a bastion of human rights in an otherwise benighted world?

If so, you might want to learn a little more about the country....

Given what we know about groups like JTRIG, spook groups that make false victim claims, fake evidence, use 'honeypots' (i.e. women offering sex),

and...

as part of a growing mission to go on offense and attack adversaries ranging from Iran to the hacktivists of Anonymous.

seem to suggest that Anonymous has been shut down. Or is Anonymous acting for some other reason than "can't get laid, so might as well..."?

.. how much damage is this going to do to us when someone definitely turns this around and aims it at the ground?

And the answer is...

None! We're not even talking enough laser to blind someone at that range, much less vaporize something/someone....

Beer: We probably dont need to be making this, or if we need to revisit it. It takes 5 litres of fresh purified water to create 1 litre of beer.

Well, you had me up till this. No BEER??? Might as well be dead....

Well, someone will bring this up

Nestlé bottling water in California

First thing I thought of when I read this was "How much are they actually bottling every year?

The answer turned out to be about 80 million gallons per year.

Out of the seven billion gallons used for one thing or another in CA every year. So, 1.15% is used by Nestle? Some of which is drunk in CA, so the amount lost to CA is less than that...

If CA is short a percent or two in its water supply, Nestle might be a big deal. Otherwise, it's meaningless....

It doesn't solve the issue of them wanting to grow crops in a dessert.

Other than the problem that few desserts are big enough, what's the problem there? I mean, a good peach cobbler has plenty of water to grow crops in, assuming it was big enough....

the US is a different matter entirely that would need a court's approval, and that court would be the one in Sweden, not the UK

Are you sure about that? Doesn't the extradition treaty between Sweden and the UK explicitly prevent extraditing people who have already been extradited? Sweden would have to deport him before he could be subject to further extradition requests.

The matter of the extradition treaty between UK & Sweden preventing further extradition sounds like a matter for a court in Sweden to decide.

So it looks like OP was correct, extradition to the USA would need a court's approval, and that court would be the one in Sweden....
