"Uhh... Houston, we still don't have control of the ship's navigation, will someone send those Russians the damn BTC so we can continue to fight this space war!"

... Right.

Conservation of energy. I'd love to suggest that we just do everything all of the time, but that's unsustainable and fodder for another dissenting comment, so instead I suggest reallocation instead of creation.

Companies should be lobbying the federal government for protection. Otherwise the government is as complicit as they would be for "looking the other way" while the mafia extorts local businesses. And in this case, that mafia may even be an arm of foreign adversaries, making this ever more urgent and damaging.

With the US under a constant barrage of attacks it makes sense to trash the "space force" and create a legitimate "cyber security force."

This may be our last chance to maintain global power through the use of force at all, given that so many competitors are gaining foothold in every other area.

We need bullet proof IT infrastructure, instant backtracing, and effective retaliatory responses ready to deploy, yesterday!

Why the hell isn't the attacker's computer compromised when they access the data? (rhetorical)

Operating machinery under the influence of anything that inhibits your ability is a bad idea and potentially illegal regardless of the substance's legality.

Some people have very positive experiences with it, however I believe it's also dangerously addictive, which does make it stand out compared to the others.

Though, I'm sure the risk of ketamine is still better controlled in a legalized environment, hence it's inclusion.

Will it pass further voting required to enact it?

> blue color work is honorable and needed and they can be productive and get a job that will support them and their family

Honorable? Maybe.

Able to support a family? Not without a secondary income from a spouse. And who's looking after the kids at that point? I hope you also have extended family that are willing and able to help, otherwise that's not much of a family.

> It's already annoying if you have a house to sell for a ridiculous price but imagine you are looking for your first property. Hopeless.

Yeah, we had to "strong arm" our landlord into selling to us be essentially breaking our lease and being huge pains in the asses. That is, we refused to allow open houses and showings in June/July of last year. Basically, it was "sell to us or good luck selling some crappy tenants."

It worked out though!

> It might be more effective to stop giving people money and use it instead to create programs to provide better jobs and skill training.

That's a false dichotomy. There's no actual lever for "provide better jobs and skill training."

In reality, it's either more money directed at the poors, or more directed towards the rich. And that's how people vote.

"Better jobs and skill training" means "give it to the rich so they can make the poors think they're doing something for them."

Probably better if the money isn't that tainted...

What's with all the cyber attacks on US infrastructure?

I hope this is because of a self hardening mechanism and not what it looks like, continued assault by adversaries.
