If the people pass laws
Actually, the people's representatives get together and pass laws after listening to various lobbyists.

Schools are paid for by property taxes. That makes up a tiny, tiny fraction of tax break incentives given out to companies. And the parents who work at a company getting a property tax break buy homes in the area with their salaries.
government subsidies should be used to build an industry so it can be competitive on it's own, not support it indefinitely
Not possible.
However, government could refrain from regulating in such as way as to prevent new industries from being created and new competitors from entering existing industries.
"We value all of your ideas equally, so all decisions will be made by randomly drawing employees’ proposals out of a hat."
This one actually has high entertainment value!
some tech pundits have worried that robots and software will gradually replace human workers in key industries such as manufacturing and IT administration
"Some"? WTF??? Absolutely *ALL* the gizelle pundits are worried robots will replace actual cheetahs now.
Materials science has progressed to the point that a space elevator is a matter of "when" and is no longer wild-eyed sci-fi.
the cost of panels for my house is estimated at $40K, which I cannot afford
You do realize you don't have to go completely off the grid with a $40k array? Why not just a few panels to supplement?
you can get most of that (SSN & DoB) by looking at someone's Driver License in most States
Are there still states that want to use SSN as driver's license id number? I lived in a state that did that (VA) years ago but you could refuse and have them generate a DL number. The employees at the DMV hated that request and tried to bully you out of it, but would eventually relent. I thought I heard they started generating DL numbers for everyone though, so what's with your assertion?
Isn't Hot Topic the store in the mall where all the teens go to buy stuff that makes them unique, just like all the other teens?
like heart disease induced by obesity
That's probably what got the woman in the picture of 'only person to be directly hit by a meteor'.
What I don't get is the jump from: 1000 people were injured in Russia two years ago, to: because only one person was ever directly hit by a meteor therefore strikes should be of no practical concern.
A detection system for the size of meteor that can injur 1000 might yeild all kinds of interesting side discoveries and technologies beyond just being a detection system.
Take the pictures down; repost them all the day that the diploma is received.
Heck, use a smartphone to trigger that posting from the graduation ceremony
It must have been the first Mac then. Hey, it's been a few years.
I worked at a Byte Shop in 1978-9 as their repair department
I remember belittling an Apple owner back then because he paid $50 to have a technician just like you re-seat a ram chip that had come loose after he moved. Otherwise to break the sticker and do it himself would mean no authorized dealer would be allowed to work on it for real repairs.
Debunked what? There's a minimum wage below zero?
Yes, it's called a "Dude Ranch". Get some city slickers to pay the ranch to be allowed to drive the cattle. Most brilliant hiring strategy in all human history.
WTF Supermans per second? It specifies Marvell right there in the title.
Always draw your curves, then plot your reading.
