They used a machine for census taking and made under license by a German company.

That is like blaming IBM for all the things that people did with IBM PCs.

Look, it is just a big aluminum tube in the air...

stick a pull tab on it for emergencies and call it good.

is protecting it's future employees, customers, and H1B visa holders.

Simple to fix: unimproved land is taxed, land with improvements is not taxed.

You could go one further, and this would make sense much like not taxing food, that land which sole purpose is to provide housing to the property owners is not taxed, commercial land and unimproved land is taxed.

Well, and take Slashdot as an example, specifically AGW discussions.

Pro AGW posters post pro AGW posts... non-AGW mods mod them down.

AGW skeptics post skeptical AGW posts... AGW mods mod them down.

Despite half of my system being tax credits, it is still taking 7 years to earn back the investment.

If I still lived in Milpitas, with PG&E gouging me, it would take 4 or 5 years.

Of course, I did not need an air conditioner there, so I used a lot less power.

I work for one of the companies named, I know it was a publicity stunt and for the tax savings.

It is more like a U shape, with Distrust on the vertical and Knowledge on the horizontal axis.

One end does not trust the internet because they don't know what is out there,

the other end does not trust the internet because they know what is out there.

Those in the middle are just knowledgeable enough to be dangerous.

No,

we ask the obvious question: How much did it cost to save that money?

If they invested 50B to get that 1.1B, it is not that wise of a deal.

Their productivity would be considerably less than 1/6 as well

Too long, didn't watch.

I want to read my information, not listen to some windbag read it.
