As long as the citizenry stay armed  Feudalist-capitalism  will not happen. But ... indeed VC/tek gawds gonna try to make it  happen.  Read-up on the early 20-th century coal miners war.   So you liberal dikkz better get off the welfare gravy-train, put down the fentanyl and earn money to arm-up.  Practice. Kill a couple bambi. Even join the military and get pro-training. The self-sustaining yeomanry will welcome you .

"...  much of which we are heavily dependent on foreign sources to supply."   Beau Beau Beau turn in your CCP Social Security check.

USA does not DEPEND on foreign network supply, but profit-centering  USA corporate officers choose the cheaper foreign equipment .... and I am sure many are paid by the CCP to do so. Long over due to enforce the concept:  use-it-here ... make-it-here. That boosts USA IP while screwing both  chi.comz  agendistas and pure-play USA investors. Win/Win/Win ...

Important question ... does NOT deserve zero (0) KARMA. The answer to the questions is ... of-course ... yes, it's worth losing 10-K non-situationally-aware folks per year in order to have private access to strip-clubs, churches, Marx-readings, Ann Rand reading, Galileo lectures, barn dances & raves. Encouraging subversive behavior in a (re)publican nation ought to be job-one of the government. Besides, with every citizen ensured by Dan Wesson the need for Gestapo-type policing falls greatly.

Nothing shoddy about SLEEPWALKER.  M$ coded it, but You own it, you paid for it and you maintain it.  You do pay taxes ... right ? So ...   all  courtesy of the 3-letter Government agency that wrote  SLEEPWALKERS specs & penned  the "Agricultural Research"  check to M$ .  Only problem is that tax-paying citizens get no explicit ROI.

Comment Re:Predictions versus reality [Re:The quiet part . (Score -1) 110

Simply the Forbes link was enough to confirm this point

Nope. One link is not enough — from the very beginning I asked, that each citation consist of two links: one to the prediction being made, the other — to confirmation/discussion of it coming true. Another rule was, the two links must be at least 5 years apart.

The purpose is easy to understand. A person can privately record 20 predictions of, say, an average temperature somewhere changing from -10 to +9 degrees. Five years later one of them will have made a precise match, and Forbes will write about him. If you didn't know about his 19 other predictions, you'll be impressed... This is why I insist on the prediction to have been published — prominently — ahead of time.

you purposely ignore the arguments

Because I was not asking for arguments — I was asking for citations...

More like "If any little disruption happens in the Middle East for any petty reason over the next several decades regardless of who the President of the USA is".

But hey, if you want to give Trump the credit for pushing the world away from burning Middle East oil and releasing all that carbon into the atmosphere then go right ahead. I'm sure he'd bask in the attention.

Epileptic trace-states can be induced by either  visual or audio clues. While "energy" does enter the body as sound or radiation  fields , no fluid or solid object enters .  OTOH to call sex, gambling or media-exchange addictive is I believe an over-reaching analogy. Learning  age "windows" aside , better associate human excesses in analogy to "runners high".

Comment The case against Tobacco was based on "checmicals" (Score -1) 72

The case against Big Tobacco was based on the fact, that their product was actually addictive. Nicotine is not just psychologically, but chemically addictive for humans.

There is no such case against software. Against marijuana-growers — maybe, but the same actors are surprisingly quiet about that.

Facebook has been pressured earlier into spreading government propaganda and then publicly testified about this pressure. Its current troubles are much more likely to be rooted in that, than in any actual "harm to children".
