Until the neighboring cities see what a great success this is and institute their own tax.

First they came for the smokers, but I did not smoke. I did nothing. Then they came for the HFCS soda drinkers, but I was diabetic. I did nothing. Then they came for the diet soda drinkers, artificial sweeteners supposedly cause cancer, I did nothing. Then they came for the delicious but makes to too fat foods, I enjoyed salads, I did nothing. Then they came for the fish eaters, with stories of mercury,

Tonight's dinner: Bread and Water. (And they are looking at the bread suspiciously)

Each food taken, is liberty taken. When they decide for us, we are made children who can not decide for ourselves.

Did you mean "destruction of evidence"?

Using masses of GPUs instead of the slow cpu to do decryption work?

There are companies that demand that you do not smoke, even in your own home on off hours. Perhaps this can be extended to cellphone use. No Canadian teacher may even own a cell phone, or associate with people who do.

Unless it is well marked it will not prevent the thief from taking it. It will only from making as much as they thought they might. The damage to power networks and facilities will still happen.

The elf jobs are secure, who do you think maintains the complicated system that delivers raw material to the nano-replicator on the sleigh in flight?

Those gifts belong to Santa until he gives them. He can give them to whomever he chooses. You are just sour grapes because you only got a lump of non-environmentally friendly coal.

Except it is not a zero sum game. The average income itself is not set in stone. It can rise. If 10 people are making 1000 each. and one gets a raise, none of the others are forced to take a pay cut. If 10 people are making 1000 each and one gets fired, the rest don't get an automatic raise. If 10 people are making 1000 each and a new one gets hired (now 11 people) the are no pay cuts for the original workers.

Well was the patient old? Did they have some other problem or sickness? Just taking some pill, no matter how popular, will not prevent one from getting old! What other details about about this patient are we not being told..
