Not true at all. Excepting the restricted airspace around certain events and places, I can fly over anyone all day long and film anything I want to. Where do you think the TV news COMES FROM? They show up with cameras when something happens.

A very large number of airplanes are registered to LLCs in Delaware. Is that "fake enough" for you?

FYI I used to fly a plane with "extra" antennas that we had a contract for to fly around the city looking for leaking cable TV signals.

FYI - the Cessna 182s they use would struggle mightily to eek up to 20,000 feet if they could even get that high. I have flown them many times and my guess for their operating altitude over Baltimore is more like 3,000 feet or so. BTW - no law against anyone flying around taking photos of anything they can see. I do it all the time for my business of aerial photography ;)

I would be all over Sprint's promotion if only I could use their service to make phone calls.....

True - a 1980s Honda is not very safe compared to a 1980s Mercedes. Now in 2016.....not so much.

No I wouldn't. I have had 2 Mercedes, one BMW, one Porsche, and 2 VWs. "Owner Financed Development" was something I learned about the hard way. The modern 7 series and their ilk are cars you NEVER NEVER EVER want to own out of warranty.

Yes - fail often fail fast is great for a HTML editor. For actual mechanical devices that cost more than $10 - not so much.

I was the third owner of a BMW. First owner paid about $50,000 and drove 24,000 miles in two years. He sold it for $25,000 to the second owner, who drove 28,000 miles in two more years and sold it for $15,000 to me. I drove it 8 more years and sold it for $1800 with 240,000 miles on the clock. I would have got more except the tranny was beat and it had to get towed away. So....looks like the first owner got boned hard - real hard!

There was only one nuke-powered merchant vessel and she is now laid up in Baltimore and the reactor fuel is removed. NFW would anyone want $2/hr graduates of the Manila School For Engineers and Fry Cooks running a nuke plant!

I live on an island with a bridge. When the bridge back up the tourists fan out in the neighborhoods and pretty much bring the entire island to a halt. Our sheriff refuses to try and stop this because the roads are public and not only for residents. He is correct.

In 1989 I flew to the UK from the USA and got a rental car for 7 days for $550. The flight was niche and the food was pretty good.

??? watt-hour, kilowatt-hour, megawatt-hour, gigawatt-hour - all this is moving decimal places around. Consumers buy electricity by the kilowatt-hour, so that is the best unit to explain generation costs in.

Jeebus on a moped! I used to sell generators. No one *ever* started out with a cost per hour. It was how many kW do you need and how much will that cost? We might then have moved into estimated cost per hour based on fuel used and expected lifespan of the equipment. In the end a power company will buy the power from your generator and you will sell it as a cost per watt/kW/mW per hour, but the very first thing you need to do is know how much power you need to produce to know what kind of plant you need to buy, and THEN you start working the kW/hr costs. Hydro might be cheap, but you won' be looking at it in a desert and solar is kind of pointless someplace it always rains.

Woosh! With a basic income, you get $30K for sitting on your ass and $32k MORE money for your job! This eliminates the trap we have NOW where getting a job makes you lose all the welfare/food stamp/etc. benefits for a net benefit of about $0.25/hr.
