I love you too. But a few hundred women could easily disprove your assertion. I won't bother, because I know you're closeted.

In various rulings, the net result is the cops (FBI, NSA, SEC, State, County, Local) may not search your phone without a specific individual warrant.
But the NSA is permitted to back collect the information from anyone you ever played a game with on Facebook, including their own avatars they created to "live" overseas to get around this data collection restriction. They also have ones inside WoW and other games like WildFire.
Then they claim the information is "externally collected" and use it anyway.
The UK EU Australia govts do the same thing to their citizens using our data collecting (illegal under data treaties) on them.
Any questions?
Well, people like me invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in China, first with Hong Kong and then further inland.
The only problem is they failed to leapfrog development and are stuck in the Coal and Cement Age - a dirty grimy age of pollution and despair.
They have the (stolen) tech. They just need to use it.
You know, the strap on this thermonuclear bomb looks like it might break soon.
Just saying.

Actually most money made from trash is made from burning it, and from mining methane from it. Look at any large scale company that operates landfills.
It's actually fairly cheap to manufacture "plastics" that can be used as raw materials by 3D printers from compostable materials that can be used to grow food if need be.
We only use plastics that are oil-based because we have lots of cheap material and the sludge from the separator columns on the refineries needs to be used for something. We could easily replace those with vegetable based rotation crops that have oils - in fact major US research universities have the basic patents to do just that (e.g. University of Wisconsin (the other UW), WSU, etc).
I see you're new to how this works.
Coal is heavily subsidized, both in extraction and in land lease conditions.
In addition costs of pollution are rarely if ever borne by the miners or shippers.
The only thing that is being changed is the conditions under which Power Plants burn coal.
Water scrubbing has been used since (forever) to remove pollutants, including acidic CO2 and SO2 from coal but is rarely used for existing plants, and never for coal exported overseas. I used to clean the scrubbers from Tek Cominco stacks that basically operate the same way, in my first adult job.
After these minor adjustments, coal will continue to be heavily subsidized at all other levels of production and distribution, just not as much at usage.
Which will still make it artificially cheaper than wind, but not artificially cheaper than already cheap solar. Passive solar today is cheaper for heating/cooling in the US, and is near coal costs in active solar for certain applications.

Who is "we"? Judging from your attitude you probably weren't even born at the time..
I used to roll S-100 bus computers. And tune floppy drives with oscilliscopes.
Does that help, n00b?
It should be noted that not only do Canadian citizens have a Right of Privacy in the Canadian Constitution, but this overrides all agreements and treaties like the US-Canada Data Treaty so that US firms must ensure Canadians in their data have privacy as well.
Period.

Actually, while this "should" work, it won't in actual practice. The phones have dual processors, the one that tracks movement through the accelerometer can have certain downloaded "app upgrades" that you thought came from the "store" but the store was actually the NSA clone with the "activate without screen wake" telemetry burst.
We used to do this with printers in Iraq. What makes you think we care about Americans' Constitutional rights?
