The more you like a show, the more you should hope no one decides to revive it.

True, and it looks like we'll never have another Star Wars movie.
Probably you whooshed me, but Disney bought rights in 2012 and has the first of a sequel trilogy in production and scheduled for release next year.
(Then we'll probably get presequels...)
So... what 2000s
If the currrent trend continues, I'd say "all of them".
I believe that there is some wiggle room, looking at the electric universe theory.
Actually, Electro-Temporal Unification Theory shows that "electric universe" and "timecube cosmology" make the same predictions at the critical energy density point in 8-space, and is in good accord with all available evidence.
Unfortunately the paper was publised by a certain Jack N. Withya, so most cosmologists haven't bothered to read it.

Given the premises of this thread (the costs and salaries of work immigration need to be controlled by the state), here a half-serious suggestion:
Have work immigrants be employed by your federal govermnent, not by the company they work for. The immigrant reports their working hours and conditions to the government, and they get their salary paid out from there. The government dispatches the worker to the company, and get the salary and other costs paid back from them.
The great benefit is that the worker is no longer there at the mercy of the company, and has no incentive to accept bad conditions or missing pay checks from them. And in any labour dispute they have the backing of a major legal and administrative organization. The government gets a clear view of exactly who the work immigrants are and what they do for their employers. The companies are relieved of some of the responsibility for these workers. Everybody has a common, single point of focus where they can turn in case of problems.
more people die in 1 month from the flu in africa (over 5 K from the last article i saw ) than they die from ebola last year.
But those people dieing of of the flue are often compromised in some other way, such as old age or malnutrition.
you might as well say that more people in africa die of old age every day than all ebola deaths combined.
The reason people fear ebola is that unlike old age, it spreads and attacks the healthy.
Unless you are literally playing in a sick persons bodily fluids, the risk is almost 0
the exact same exaggeration is true of flu. You catch flu by being in close proximity to someone with the flu or some a vector that can temporarily support the flu's transmission, just like ebola.
E-bola is so 1990. it should get with the times and be called iBola. Then everyone would wait in line to get it.

Science Mag is a fucking tabloid rag.
With pictures?
Praise our overendowed saviors for keeping us from going extinct before we started, but where were they when the lizard men took over, hmmm?
NO don't mod up.
AC is ignorant of science, the techniques used and is simple batting around the stupid 'It's only a model' fallacy.
There are only so many arguments people can make when they don't like what scientists discover about the universe.
Only the size of Connecticut? So, nothing to worry about?
I dunno... How many Manhattans is that?
Those who can, do; those who can't, write. Those who can't write work for the Bell Labs Record.
