I'm skeptical of tariffs in general, but they do seem like a reasonable way to get fair trade to actually happen. It appears to me that our previous globalist leaders have allowed other countries on unfair advantage both with tariffs and by not having to comply with the same environmental standards that the US has to comply with.

"America First" should be our mind set when negotiating trade, not other people first.

To keep people safe from abusing the control system, they are going to turn the control system off if people don't respond? I guess this will technically reduce the number of deaths attributed to autopilot. After all, DOT investigations will show that autopilot was off when the Tesla flew off the cliff.

Comment IP solution (Score 5, Insightful) 172

Here is my ideal IP solution. All IP (patents and copyright) must state a value. Any value at all. The owner of the IP then pays intellectual property tax a some rate. If someone else really wants that IP, they can pay the owner the stated amount and the IP becomes public domain.

This solves all kinds of issues including orphaned works, patent trolls, and the likes of Disney tying up copyrighted works that should have entered the public domain decades ago. Well, maybe Disney could still tie up copyrighted works, but at least it would cost them to the benefit of tax payers.
