Broad-spectrum legal reform is the kind of issue that seems blatantly obvious to even the most casual observer.
And yet the number of Congresscritters of any strip running on the idea is. . .um. . .wait a sec. . .let's look at Libertarians. . .
Unfortunately, all the power is draining into DC, where the money can be printed at will, thus giving a us positive feedback loop.

I lost my reverence for the television industry honoring itself long ago. Moreover the series is a training film for misogyny. The world would be a better place with it off the air, no matter how many awards it wins.

Because the pretentious twat reviewer types will savagely treat any monochrome product. Moreover the trendy hipster crowd would never use anything not in full color. It would be a sales disaster. Practical? Who the hell ever got invited to parties for being practical?

You're not thinking like a terrorist. They don't care about a line at the airport, they want a big flashy attack that will make all the newspapers. If Boko Haram had attacked small schools all over Nigeria instead of one big one, would they have gotten into the news? Nope, forget it, it the mainstream media wouldn't have paid attention. But now everyone knows the name Boko Haram and what they want: Western influence out of Nigeria, permanently.

If you have a vibrator in your luggage you'll have a better-than-average chance of being asked to turn that on, too. If you pack the biggest one you can find in your carry-on right next to your cell phone, they might not even notice your cell phone.

How long is a subway car? Most of the world doesn't have subways. Just shows the writer's unconscious bias when she fails to consider this because she and everyone she knows uses the subway every day. It's pernicious and it's inexcusable for educated people.

It turns out that self-awareness is an illusion of a couple of smallish blobs in your brain, without which you would be no smarter than the average computer? Seems like it ought not to be terribly difficult to make a computer think it's self aware too, then.

One thing we know is that absence of regulation == total chaos.
Just ask a bureaucrat.
Furthermore, we know that people are stupid, and absolutely incapable of operating above caveman level without kindly bureaucrats.
In summary, ensuring Total Regulation is a basic national security requirement.

You first, tough guy.

"pro-unrestrained capitalist propaganda" I guess is what leftists are calling anything that disagrees with their own viewpoints. Funny how we're all supposed to be tolerant of different opinions, until those opinions don't follow left-wing thought. Then the most vile denunciations are appropriate to use, and dehumanizing your targets is a suitable response. Sickening, but here we are.

What famous industries are these?

That deserves some sort of Chomsky Award for nearly meaning something, then breaking into a Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.
No, subsidies and taxes are not like a classical R-C control network; you're oversimplifying like a madman to equate them to a negative feedback loop, i.e., something that stabilizes. To the extent the analogy helps at all, taxes and subsidies are more of a positive loop, feeding corruption, destabilizing.

Would you recommend a wall of Pet Rocks, or a vast Ouija Board to implement this?

Not the same thing; prison is like chattel slavery with occasional legal basis and without the economic output.

True, true, and yet we re-elected it. #GoFigure
