Early adopters are buying those $1500 phones within a year of the last one, subsidizing the rest of us getting that same tech for $250 somewhat later. <cite>Questionmarktarius posted [p:975938834] in How much i...

See: Nuclear, cloning, drugs, alternative fuel, and education I'm pretty sure NIMBYs and irrational panic have a hell of a lot more to do with that than ineffectual politicians.

The thing that's actually slowing us down is more to do with regulation and red tape than some sort of technological repression. --- I do drawings and stuff https://www.fiverr.com/blueblitz <cite>itachi15243 posted [p:975939035] in How much i...

Best they can do is monger the fear that's already there. I assure you NIMBYs are not the reason human cloning research & stem cell research has been so heavily restricted in America while Koreans are passing us by light-years. They're not the reason you have to pay $250 for a math textbook like calculus has somehow changed in the last 100 years. They're not the reason fossil fuels keep getting kickbacks while solar and hydrogen are struggling. Lobbyists are paying to keep it that way. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://i.imgur.com/dQgC4kv.jpg <cite>Tyranthraxus posted [p:975939180] in How much i...
