Social change . social engineering. People could only work a few hours a day or week. enough to keep them honest. That work hard for something and earned it feeling is more of a emotional response and does not have to be an effect of selling more of yourself for less than everyone else is. I've always felt this leads to a negative place much like when people don't have to earn anything and take it for granted

modern rebellion is only done in 2 ways. 1. stop spending 2. stop working. guns would be ineffective and 'protests' as they are known today are just silly. so logically what is the point at which a critical mass of people will stop spending or working?

Seems the title misses the mark.

Are they trying to keep everyone 23 years old so they don't cycle through workers in San Fran?

Hey I get it, you need a hug. There isn't one of us that isn't a nsa poster that doesn't get down on the issue. You wouldn't have bothered to respond if you didn't care. This stuff has been getting me down long before NSA . Have a cup of coffee, read a short about fighting the good fight and we'll see you tomorrow. I don't know if we'll succeed but we'll try hard.

Or they could just move and leave it to the city See also : coal corps, oil corps, every other corp.

Once Hollywood starts basing things off of this, won't it just cause the equation to become invalid? What they will discover is that these types of predictions only hold accuracy as long as you don't know they are being used.

Just an opinion, but don't we use Shakespeare and it's ilk to increase reasoning skills? Much Ado About Nothing is no funnier than any given sitcom out there. Isn't it the language gymnastics that give it's benefit? Seems like chewing it for them just works around testing.

Wouldn't it be neat if there was a plateau for story telling where at some point people don't want it to be more real or more intense or more trumped up. That people like their symbolism and story telling like their food, place in front of them not fast balled at their mouth. (rambling should have anon'd it)

If we assume this is coming then its just a matter of waiting until us 30 somethings die. Then google will still be around and everyone will accept the new way of life. Think September 2001. I never would have thought people, even the proles, would have wanted the patriot act and other such nonsense but now the 3rd graders are adults and its for our own good.

Breach of trust. yes. But I'd take this aftermath any day over how other companies would react.

No one thinks our government will produce anything but a set of reforms that benefit institutions of power.

I'd like laptops more if they were desktops.
