This is a good question.

The latest reactor designs have a built-in safety measure to flood the reaction chamber if it gets too hot. Afterwards, the reactor is destroyed.

So if the reactor is used recklessly, the investor loses a very valuable investment and the investors are harmed rather than the public.

I think you are nearly there realizing that the price, here, has to do with what you're willing to pay, rather than their costs.

As for their costs, Amazon is profitable and they still wanted to do business with $15/hr.

I'm not sure why people are more interested in big company's profits over lots of employees like you and me.

Comment Re:Executive orders are undemocratic (Score 1) 64

I agree (Executive orders are going too far). This exists b/c it's very difficult to pass anything anymore (The filibuster doesn't require a Senator to talk anymore).

There are a number of parallels between now and the end of the Roman Republic (and beginning of the Roman Empire). They had many ways to veto and filibuster legislation that it was nearly impossible to pass anything. ... it's easy to come to the conclusion that if elected officials aren't doing anything - get rid of them.

Hopefully we come up with a different conclusion.
