I love the emigrant jokes..
WE are what we eat.
Colonialism was Fun to watch as Sailors run around the world declaring Land as THEIR OWN. Bring in the priests, and tell everyone, 'we are right you are wrong', believe us or we kill you in the name of our god. Then we treat them as slaves, even tho they are now Christians.
Love that EU white man attitude.
How about persons thinking that the Pilgrims, were All Christians? And some have this idea they were the First colonialists..(not a chance)
(bad saying) we have White washed so much of history, it hard to beleave most of it anymore. And Tons of it was created by the corps/religion, so they could sell you Christmas..
Re: ingenious cycle of intentional American dysfunction
Love the idea that corps with to privatize everything..(not really)
From roads, bridges, Gov. agencies..FDA/FCC.. Anything they THINK they can make money doing.
But looking at both sides, its WHO is responsible for problems..
Rather call 1 state/gov agencies, then try to find 1 corp thats 3 states over.
ingenious cycle of intentional American dysfunction
Its interesting to watch patterns in this country.
from:
Police
Cities
Corps
banks
Politicians
Everyone is lying about this and that. And its funny that this is Opinion vs facts.(there is no such thing as a lie, if its an opinion??)
This nation has Stalled in advancing and development. No one wants to get things done.
Love the complaints that the gov. isnt doing anything, After Everyone has bitched that the Gov. is to big/has to much control and Cut/limited every part of it.
As bad as a corp Cutting the hours for Janitors to work, things seem to get Dirty, and the toilet paper is never changed.
It all piles up, and nothing gets DONE.
Except those on top, ALWAYS GET PAID. And if we can FIX that part, AS IN, paying for hours worked and Proving you are WORTH the money. Just as the rest of us do, every day we work.
Its also been interesting, as the Net has developed, the Gov. agencies had allot of data accessible, but for Some strange reason, allot has been cut back. It disappeared. There was a section on Which cities and When was the last time water sources were tested and Tested for what.
Going thru the BLS, is fun, strange and conflicting. They have a list of Min wage earners but dont consider the STATES that have a living wage, insted of $7.50 per hour. Sot he percentage of Min wage earners is Like 6%.. And that hits news as we only have 6% at min wage.(I sent a note to them asking about that). Then there is the idea of the Corps not paying $7.50, they pay $8, and never get on the list of Min wage companies.
I wont even mention the stock market being manipulated. And over valued corps, that really dont make anything.
I find it interesting for a few reasons.
we are acting about as bad as China.
For a nation that declares itself Open minded, we seem to be closing doors.
WE OWE China allot of money for the wars we have had. And I dont think this
is the way to Fight it.
This Idea of Closing the USA to Imports is going to COST, someone allot of money.
YOu and I, are going to pay for this, IF' the USA restricts Business to USA only.
The Corps will need to lower wages at the TOP. And that ISNT an easy thing to do.
Qualified Immunity?
How many of these people at the top, Judges, and Gov. Have EVER been out there in real life.
Do you think the cops/police/FBI/CIA have a list that says...
"DONT NOT STOP, THIS CAR"??
Or is it just a TAG on the licence plate that tells them, that if they interfere with this person they WONT have a job.
Common sense.
The Constitution, and Equal treatment of Everyone.
Right of women and races, no matter what..
Its all going out the window, by those on top. Most of the rest of us dont have problems with any of it. Its the idea of thinking, Not just outside the box. ITS SUPPOSED TO BE THE LAW.
Love tghe idea that in the EU, you cant CR, programming. It was until recently.(think they changed it)
And in the USA you could CR a piece of Code, HW or SW, so that no one could get/hold/change/augment...or anything to it.
Even that little box(s) in your car that control your engine/transmission and/or the lighting/security/other..
ITS KINDA stupid that you are paying for about $50 MAX of hardware to control your car, and to replace it costs $200-500.
At one point they wanted to have a Emergency bypass in the car incase they REALLY needed to MOVE the car.(wont happen)
I think your phone has Over 40 CR products inside, and it the majority of the cost, which adds up to about $100-150 worth of electronics.
What is inside a Apple phone? Thats worth More than an adroid? The OS? which gets changed and augmented by Apple, and if it Screws up, you have lost everything. They have done it before with MP3 players..
Im from the old days when a CMOS/BIOS chip that controls your computer checks at startup, was SOCKETED..and could be changed IF it really failed.
There are a few repair persons on YT, that have shown the problems with TRYING to fight the corps, even when they show up to give information. The corps are there. and Lying Badly.
As my friend mentioned he Like the idea..I suggested to them..
So what is the perfect nation afraid of? Someone or nation, with a better idea? A better concept?? Why would the best/greatest nation in the world have problems with OPINIONS?? isnt that why we have the 1st amendment? So that HE can have an opinion, no matter the problems with it?
And isnt it interesting to see WHAT other nations see, from the outside? and evaluate the veracity/truth to it? Why take 20 years to figure out that the war in Vietnam WASNT a good war? That the protestors were Mainly correct at the time?
To wonder IF' our gov. is truly doing the right thing? Is like trusting the SPAM in your mail box.
That laws are created MORE, by the people who have to abide by them? and part of the reason we tend not to shoot each other, often enough??
Lets look at this Side ways..
IF we held our congress liable for WHAT THEY SAY, and do..How many wouldnt have a job?
If everything they DID, was above board, and NOT hidden in offshore banks..(as it shouldnt be) couldnt we sue them to BE RESPONSIBLE TO THE PUBLIC??
So much of this has been under the table, and now with the internet, its totally interactive, that everything is Out in the open. That WE should be able to demand of them to be Truthful, and more honest.
But that cant happen. As we would have to petition and send it to THEM' and they would just throw it inthe can.
There is even a site for that. And there have been a few of those,that fell FLAT because of the Amount of petitions and Sorting it to find what you needed, was just Overwhelming. So most added THEIR OWN, idea of the petitions, and it added to the mess.
So, HOW do we control our gov. anymore? Or have we been able to, in the last 50+ years?
We could create a huge one ont he net, even pass it around to other sites, but they would complain that it was fake, and how to decide if it was LEGAL, and not Forged.(same thing Inside the congress)
But there is another way..
But ours sit and decay..
There is only so far a company can go, before it has to STOP.
Change and adaption, are fine, until it starts causing problems.
The Competition thats been created, with Direct from China, is great.. but its as bad as going to a store and you can TRY IT first.
But its Cheaper then buying in the USA.
And USA corps dont want to change for the better.
Lets make a few Facts.
USA BORROWED LOTS of Money from China, for a war thats lasting To long, and Could have ended in 6 months(they were asking to end it).
Trump+Russia, are against the Chinese, and trump Thinks he can get the OLD USA corps that jumped to Asia, Back to the USA. And Show-off, by locking down the imports, into the USA. Doing that is funny, as we are running out of beer, because we Locked Down ALL imports, to Show it is/was balanced, and we were not picking on 1 nation. And we Still owe money to China.
There was a recent article about China, running around the world and Buying Copyrights and such, to HOLD the Rights to allot of tech. We have been Bitching about CR and intellectual property for years, and Now, they have allot more.
Our nation has taken advantage of China, we sell wood to them at HUGE profits, also raising the Price in the USA, then Buying Wood products back, at HUGE savings, to sell to USA customers Who cant afford the prices, for Glue and Wood Pulp.
And this for many other things we send them..Like allot of Old Junk cars they wanted to use as recycling, to make More Metals for Products. We Raised prices Like crazy, for all the car Junk yards around the country. and Our corps are still bitching, because THEY, have raised prices beyond what WE can afford, and they dont see the problems,, So they bitch at the gov, to do something. they Dont want to lower prices, they dont want to create more jobs, they Love those TOP wages, and wont take less.
Our corps have forgotten the basics of how capitalism is Supposed to work, Just as the banks did. They are Hurting and dont want to DO what then NEED to do. If you look around and see all the crap they have Done to themselves, its about time for them to bankrupt or FIX IT. Which means those on top Owners/CEO/managers/... need to take a PAY CUT of at least 1/2 if not more.
All the pushing on Corp value, and stocks in the last 20+ years, that doubled and tripled Top wages. All the Job cuts in the last 35 years.. All the Killing off of Local stores and distribution.. Has hit the END of what can be done to raise TOP wages..
To give you a hint about outlooks.. It want long ago, that when a questionnaire, asked about Wage levels, they started in the 10,000's.. and now, they start at $40,000. Think of this disparity. They want to know an ave wage for a person, but dont count anything below a $20 per hour 40 hour week, job? Which is a good amount of people NOT counted Properly.
$29k in 1979, was RICH.. Min wage was < $2.. and they Jump from 1979 to 2007 in 1 jump? And only gained $5000 more?
According to Some tables the Jobs of the early 1970's, ~$2 per hour match those NOW getting $20..
For the Corps..
Its very interesting that they --
Dont have as many employees..
They do everything they can NOT to have excess employees..
You can have a corp with only designers and CEO..
Send all the info you want built to china,
Get it sent here and they just distribute it..
And your taxes are...? Just a few persons in the office, as the 2000 workers and the material costs are spent Over there.
You sell to other nations at the highest price you can.
You buy from other nations at the LOWEST price you can get..
Then Price it like it was American made.
Then Wonder why we cant afford anything?
Good luck and hang on to your pants..this is going to have some bumpy rides. until the CORPS, do the right things, or go broke.
as you mentioned it would shuttle the signal from 1 sat to another..
Ever wonder how big a pizza is..Take a 10" pizza, make it 2" larger, have you doubled the size? Ground distance is 1 thing, on the Curve in space?? then each time you relay, it adds abit of lag, in ms. Handling of the packets. And even HE has said they can only handle so many signals, and Why he needs so many.
Earth is ~25,000 miles. radius 3963, lets add 750.. Pi x r^2, 69,857,900.. Yep we almost tripled the size of that pizza.
Then I suggest 1 major point.
IT AINT UP THERE YET..
and if 1 country sends up a sat killer with a SHOT GUN, shooting SLUGS, it will only take a few shots to get accurate..
And as you place them up, they can shoot them down as they venture over THEIR LANDS..
0' G and velocity are neat things in space. 1 shot can run around the planet a few times and hit a target or Miss, and drop to earth and do nothing on the ground as it burned up on re-entry.
You dont need missiles, rockets, much of anything.. And a SAT full of STEEL SLUGS .72 caliber and doing over 2000fps. can do allot of damage up there. Hit the Solar panels, Hit the Main body so radiation can enter, Hit a control box on the outside..
And with 1000's of them up there, it shouldnt be hard to hit 1-10..
That many smaller companies wonder around, Finding things to make money from. And then compete to sell the most by Many means, they try.
Make a better product,
Make a newer product,
Make a pretty product,
Make a smaller product..
But our system isnt that way.
Corps dont like to compete. So 1 company buys another to get them out of the way, and raises Prices on their product to cover the cost of doing it..(look up Microsoft, activision, Apple, atari, history. Allot of companies got EATEN UP)
Then If you cant buy them out, you make deals to WHERE each can sell goods. It used to be that the Mississippi was a Change point for most products int he USA..we dont use it anymore, and we have 1/10 the companies. Even after mabell was broken up into 20(?) different companies, they started Shuffling things. It gets harder and harder to figure Who owned whom. a card game with companies.. Verizon mobile, and ATT wireless, have so many Sub companies NOW, its hard to tell which system you are on.
Hughes and Dish had a great idea, Cut the wires and go Direct TV with sat. But for some reason it didnt take off. All those TV corps and the power they had, stopped things from happening. And they got bought out.
For all of this, we HAD regulations. Some controls. As long as things were working, and jobs were around, it wasnt so bad. But then came the cut backs, started back around late 1980's. From smaller local stores being closed to make LARGER/fewer stores, to cutting employees..
Thjen we started filling our gov. with representatives, from the corps.. Thinking they know the business, and Could balance things better?? yep, in the other direction. And I love insider news/trading, as it made allot of people Allot of money, and where do you think that info came from??(why are we paying our gov. if they are making money under the table?) And Why is the Stock exchange so over blown? Lets raise the value of the USA corps based on nothing.. Lets make more stocks for that value. wonderful, now we have tons more investors, and more money. How much money? welllll.. Est. USA corp value past 100 times the amount of money in the world.
So, What specialists does a corp need? Not that many. They dont change things much, and dont really want to. They dont want to ADD, New things that they cant control. And its fun trying to make NEW, when you have to compete with Copyrights, and Intellectual property, so WHY COMPETE, share with those others in the same business. $50 worth of tech in a $300+ box.. Why buy out other corps for Billions(?) when they arnt worth it? When those companies are loosing or messed up what they do, made contracts that are STUPID and costing them to much. Because as a GROUP they have power they can wield, Against the Channel companies and the contracts, alone they can only CUT the channels, and payout less, to keep alive. With all the corps Inflated Values, and inflated contracts.. BUY others that are also loosing, and DUMP it all at once, sell out to the larger corps, show a loss and walk away RICH AS HELL.
Getting every nation to ALLOW you to fly sats over their country.
There are allot of laws
Then we get to restrictions, that each nation has.
AND
China and russia have practice in shooting down Sats. IYDN
NOw for the interesting part.
They are thinking of a base station on earth, and distribute from there..
Dont know if its wired or wireless.
Hughes, install a sat long ago for TV, and converted to Internet, the price is huge for what you get.
Wireless sat anywhere, but its NOT for gaming..the Lag because of the distance and transferals from Earth-sat-earth-then to the net NEAR(??) where you want to go On the net, tends to be 150-300+ ms delay, like the old 56k modems.
Where using Fiber(if its around) can be <50ms..

And I love insider news/trading, as it made allot of people Allot of money, and where do you think that info came from??(why are we paying our gov. if they are making money under the table?) And Why is the Stock exchange so over blown? Lets raise the value of the USA corps based on nothing.. Lets make more stocks for that value. wonderful, now we have tons more investors, and more money. How much money? welllll.. Est. USA corp value past 100 times the amount of money in the world.
So, What specialists does a corp need? Not that many. They dont change things much, and dont really want to. They dont want to ADD, New things that they cant control. And its fun trying to make NEW, when you have to compete with Copyrights, and Intellectual property, so WHY COMPETE, share with those others in the same business. $50 worth of tech in a $300+ box.. Why buy out other corps for Billions(?) when they arnt worth it? When those companies are loosing or messed up what they do, made contracts that are STUPID and costing them to much. Because as a GROUP they have power they can wield, Against the Channel companies and the contracts, alone they can only CUT the channels, and payout less, to keep alive. With all the corps Inflated Values, and inflated contracts.. BUY others that are also loosing, and DUMP it all at once, sell out to the larger corps, show a loss and walk away RICH AS HELL.

Re: on the other hand
NOw for the interesting part.
They are thinking of a base station on earth, and distribute from there..
Dont know if its wired or wireless.
Hughes, install a sat long ago for TV, and converted to Internet, the price is huge for what you get.
Wireless sat anywhere, but its NOT for gaming..the Lag because of the distance and transferals from Earth-sat-earth-then to the net NEAR(??) where you want to go On the net, tends to be 150-300+ ms delay, like the old 56k modems.
Where using Fiber(if its around) can be <50ms..

That would be a Battle worth paying for.
