My electricity costs are 7.6Â/Kwhr. We live in an all electric heated home in an electricalâly abundant province, where electricity is less expensive than gas and less polluting. I think that the clothes drye will cost me 0.50Â instead of a dollar. With three grandchildren, a daughter, a son-in-law, my wife and me, it could save me around 5$/wk. If the dryer is in the 500$ price range, we would go for it. We could even stop venting the dryer exhaust to the outdoors.

Choose the cities with the highest software engineering salaries and you will find the highest cost of living. Include education, healthcare, insurance and housing. And don't forget commuting costs.

I would not worry. The innovation is being done offshore in countries that do not recognize parents. They do recognize copyrights. I expect to see Netflix and othersove to those locals.

My son reserves such a car, does his shopping and leaves the car for the next person When he needs a car for long distance travelling, he visits the car rental agencies.

Linuxluver, When you live in a bubble, your Knowledge is constrained. And when the American god is the dollar, then the only thing to do is chase the dollar. The world has gone past American values. It's a shame, as Americans are, individually, very nice people.

It is not that they are sliding backwards, it is that they slide backwards and are now almost going over the cliff. Look at cellphone technology advancement in the past ten years, now it is the car industries turn to do their thing.

And many more carcinoma victims. Thanks

No to your question! The USA lost relevance with the Trump election. He drove major investment from the USA. The USA is a service country, not a manufacturing one. The USA are consumers, with no means to pay down debt accumulated from the Bush wars.

The USA needs soldiers like you to volunteer to fight. Obviously, you are saying that you are willing to risk your life for a drone. My view, scratch one person who opened mouth before engaging brain.

Is it possible that the slowing down side or direct effect is effecting climate? That slowing down would manifest itself as resulting in hotter summers and colder winters.
