It was the left that pushed to clear out the mental hospitals. You cannot be held against your will for long if you haven't done anything wrong. To be fair there were people held against their will when they posed no danger and were just odd or embarrassing for their family. There needs to be something in between. Maybe need a jury trial every year or so to see if the person can stay committed or something similar.

If we actually kept developing reactors instead of shutting down and holding up progress we would be at the point where they would be safe by now. It's only because of Luddites that we are so far behind our potential. It would be as if we still had to fly on Comets because as everyone knows planes are dangerous. Well no shit if you are flying around in first generation designs.

He has addressed the issue of having his clothes made overseas. He says the decision is to either make the clothes overseas or not at all. People won't buy clothes made in the US because you would have to charge much more. That's the point of protectionism and protective tariffs, they let Americans become more cost competitive.

With free trade if your skill set is such that a person living in a hut can do the same job as you then you are going to have to live similar to them to compete or have a welfare state pay enough to live at a higher level.

Bullshit. I have to deal with potential ITAR information all of the time. We make sure to either use specific databases to manage that information or if you need to use email you need to use the provided PKI encryption. We need to take training every year.
