People talk about making a 401k for everybody instead of SS, which amounts to what you are saying. I am pretty sure the market has some limit to how much capital it can absorb and still give a good return. A company's stock doesn't go up unless they find a useful way to make even more money out of it. I think there must be a saturation point where companies cannot find additional useful ways to expand their business with more money, especially if everybody else is too. There is only so much passive investment gains (free lunch) to go around - not that the size of the pie has a hard limit, but diminishing returns.

Openâ'container laws generally prohibit open alcohol in the passenger area of vehicles on public roads. I suppose this is because the driver can so easily hand it back and forth with a passenger. For self-driving cars this makes no sense. So at some point they would have to change the laws to allow that half-bottle in the self-driving car, no matter how fully self-driving it is.

Thank you for your post, it is interesting.

Would I be correct in guessing that you are not a "senior citizen" as in 65+ ? Medicare for them is not means-tested.

Granted, Medicare B, C, and D are means-tested, but if you're destitute (e.g. SS only) you should receive them for very little, and the "Extra Help" program is supposed to apply.
