The cowpox trick or any of the vaccines?

Smallpox vaccine is over *200 year old* tech at this point. I think with over 2 centuries of data, we know it works and it is NOT made out of smallpox anyway. Want to DIY it? Go find a cow with cowpox and rub it until you get cowpox. You are now immune to smallpox!

Some people do not need to work, but the majority of people in the USA kind of count on having a job to pay for their housing. Is this not the case in most of the 1st world?

Because all other countries have free food and housing????

A friend of mine got an Odyssey once. We were all wanting to drive it when we thought he meant the Hondy off road ATV Odyssey thing. Once we found out it was a van we threatened to take his man card away forever. They DO have a stigma even though the thing was GREAT for hauling people and stuff and we all used it between insults LOL. OTOH I had a BMW station wagon that was just as fun to drive - if not more so - than the sedan version, good decent MPG, hauled ass, AND could haul a bunch'o crap. I loved that car :)

If your attempt at getting a date is classified as assualt, you are doing it wrong to put it mildly.

The DAY before? I have been driving through a construction zone on the way to work that has up a YEAR and can go months between seeing any work done!

I take it you are unfamiliar with the history of coal miner unions? Corporations have used PLENTY of violence. You may want to look up The Battle of Blair Mountain. It got so out of hand the frigging ARMY had to go settle it down. Sample of what went on: Mining families lived under the terror of Baldwin-Felts detective agents who were professional strikebreakers under the hire of coal operators. During that dispute, agents drove a heavily armored train through a tent colony at night, opening fire on women, men, and children with a machine gun.[9] They would repeat this type of tactic during the Ludlow Massacre in Colorado the next year, with even more disastrous results.[10]

My dogs like their food, but they won't touch it until after dinner. They spend all day mooching for human food and only eat the dog food when they know they have got all the human food they are going to get for the day.

30 knots is about 34 MPH.

Read Band of Brothers. One of the "BoB" shot a man for disobeying an order and was not punished.

Sorry - gotta call BS. All the places I have worked had a bunch of male engineers bugging HR about why can't we ever hire any girls around here, this place is turning into Sausage-Fest Central.

One SciFi writer had AIs eventually learning to make themselves have a non-stop euphoria feedback system and they would just melt down in a puddle of happy goo. They had a finite - and short - lifespan between smart enough to work and electronic OD.

WHAT problem is very real? In my experience a bunch of nerds might be rude to women, but about the last people to be a physical threat to them. A lot of the "brogrammer" fake macho bullshit is very much a defensive reaction to being treated as invisible or an obstacle when they actually encounter real live females. They got no game, so they talk trash.....

What you CAN do is make it MUCH harder to do day-to-day operations. If you know a phone call or email will result in a drone strike, you send letters by courier. You now have almost perfect security and also are running at 19th century speeds. Also note the really smart people are NEVER the ones blowing themselves up. If getting killed is the price for being Al Queda #2, then the best canditates will be looking to work at other firms.
