I’m going to assume shelling solar and batteries isn’t environmentally friendly in a war either.

Personally because it’s made pc parts unaffordable or unobtainable.

If taxes are high enough, they will disincentivize work.

I'm on disability, and if I make over $1000 a month, anything over $1000 gets taxed at 75%.

Do you think I work enough to make over $1000 a month? Do you think I'd scrub toilets for $20 per hour and take home only $5?

Hint: after $1000, I either get paid cash or don't work

Why start a business in this sort of economic environment?

Work hard, so that the government can redistribute your success?

Or you have the problem of businesses slowly losing their owners, who then stop caring about their clients or community.

What is the result of these taxes? Where does the money go? Does it lead to more economic activity or less?

Long term review content is always so good but it’s rare so it’s expensive and people skip to the conclusion.

In your basement with simple tools. 3D printers made it a lot easier and better. You can make a pipegun with very little skill.

Ammunition is a bit harder, but again, there is criminal markets that fill the needs.

You can setup a machine gun on a Remote Weapon Station and control it via the internet. You could have agents as machine gunners. Same with rocket launchers.

We are literally seeing the large scale use of robotic weapons platforms AT SCALE.

Machine guns create a storm of ballistic objects, and have been doing so for over 100 years. Large scale murder isn't new. We just have systems that have cameras that make it easy to put the footage online now.

"Drones should be handled the same way as weapons!" Strict rules for law abiding citizens while the criminals are totally unencumbered by the law?

You know it's easy to get illegal guns right?

The cost of hardware may be what kills my local Jellyfin install.

Physical media is being done away with, both discs and players.

Seems like streaming is the future we are going to be fed.

The BBC tax is the kind of thing you get if government and corporate media get really friendly.

The people who almost got us into nuclear wars, also saved us from nuclear wars. How kind of them. Curtis "Bombs Away" Lemay was one of the founders. You should learn more, it's very interesting, and important, yet somehow often overlooked.

I support the licensure of boards of directors and CEO types, and enforcement of laws against the people who control companies.

If the CFO commits a crime, they can't get a license anymore. Start getting the bad actors out of positions of power.
