We should tie a mandatory government retirement age to Medicare or social security eligibility so there's some pressure to keep it below 80.

There will be terrorist drone attacks in the US or Europe, but I highly doubt they will be at a 9/11 scale. The destructive power of a drone is nowhere near the power of a fueled jet, you can get close with a swarm, but that adds several new problems.

  • getting high yield explosives is pretty hard. 9/11 stole the bombs on the day, which is much harder to respond to. You could try using drones to take out aircraft on takeoff, but that's already controlled and monitored airspace.
  • getting enough drones to be a large attack isn't trivial even with readily available parts in small numbers. There's already systems in place to monitor large orders of potentially dangerous materials like fertilizer or smoke detectors.
  • coordinating hundreds of thousands of drones is actually pretty hard to do in a clandestine way. Sanctioned drone shows have problems occasionally while not having to hide and having to avoid countermeasures.
  • Drone countermeasures already exist and are deployed for large events like the Superbowl. Target selection to be big enough but still insecure is also difficult. Security is more of a priority for iconic places and not all of it is theater.

Spite coding is almost the original coding.

Part of that is a legal issue. People over 40 are a protected class, you can't discriminate against old people for being old. Young people can get fucked though.

I wouldn't want to target actual criminals that have reasons and means to fight back.

There's a lot of people that think 95% of what they paid is a good discount.

If you actually want to sell something mark it at 50% of retail, because that's the area most things are worth.

At the time the cabinet and vp, oversight committees, possibly the AG or IG if they weren't complicit in a cover up. Also it's about the president, being deep throat 2 would be acceptable.

Confidentiality is not absolute for medical professionals, they can and have been forced to testify. It's not as absolute as it is with lawyers or clergy, which also have some limits.

No. For an emergency response like this the first 72 hours are critical, that's the entire window where you have a chance of live rescue.

Yes and no. Doctors have a duty to report when there are certain dangers. They can also speak in generalities that would show concern for his condition. They can't say yes the president had dementia diagnosed on X date, or failed X/Y cognitive tests, but that's not really necessary.

The problem with subscription services is that it's fairly easy to argue it's interstate commerce that states don't have jurisdiction over.
