Faster than light travel is not possible in this universe, so your idea is bunk.

Furthermore, time travel is a ridiculous concept that belongs only in bad science fiction, not serious discussion.

I'm not even going to bother trying to explain to you WHY these two facts are true, just try THINKING a little bit about what you are saying, inevitably you will come up with a whole host of logical impossibilities that result from your idea.

APPARENTLY YOU HAVE NOT HEARD OF TIME CUBE TECHNOLOGY!! TIME CUBE ALLOWS FASTER THAN LIGHT TRAVEL THROUGH 5TH DIMENSIONAL ROTATION OF TIME CUBE!!

I did not say they should get all their pay taken away. I'm suggesting that the individuals responsible should be fined instead of the consumers and employees. If you don't lock their pay at their current rate, they'll just give themselves a nice multi-million dollar bonus the first chance they get. The government *could* have put them in prison. When someone goes to prison, the government is already basically saying, no pay or job for you and you're confined to this building. But this is not the kind of crime that is so bad that people need to go to prison. This option would allow them to keep their job, still get paid, not go to prison, yet still fine them and ensure they don't transfer that fine to the people.

Something I've always wondered is that since we supposedly know how far the farthest recorded star is, and supposedly know the age of the universe, how fast are we moving away from the farthest star? And how fast are we moving relative to the source of the big bang? If there's 10 lightyears from us to that star, the most conservative guess (the slowest speed) would put the big bang starting directly between us and the other star, putting the big bang somewhere else would mean we're moving faster. Does anyone know how to do the math to calculate either of these? I know its definitely not 10 billion ly / 14 bln y, we'd have to take in to account relativistic speeds, and the movement of the light from the other star, etc. It seems like we must really be moving pretty damn fast away from the other star if we're seeing it in the position it was 2 billion years after the big bang, and the light from there to here traveled 10 billion lightyears.
