Although I don't agree with all Ayn Rand's views, I was satisfied with Ayn Rand's view on radio spectrum allocation in her book "Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal". Basically, she was proposing a system similar to one used in real estate (based on homesteading). Once you start using an unused frequency within a certain geographical domain, it is yours until you sell it to someone else or abandon it.
I would actually prefer an automated algorithmic collision avoidance system. Maybe even a packet switching one where you pay/get paid for sending/forwarding packets.
If there is no ruler, that doesn't mean there are no rules.
"order without power"
I'm an anarchist and I follow rules. The difference is that the rules I follow are logical and self-evident. However, I do ignore rules that don't actually follow from axioms logically and are just proclaimed by some self-imposed authority. That stupid shit needs to fuck off.
The owner of the road makes the rules. If I am to use their road, it makes sense that I follow their rules. On my own road, I make the rules.
I would not call those crashing your car anarchists. Those are just criminals. Damaging other people's property is not allowed by the rules.
I'm lucky to be here because the source of the fire was an electrical malfunction beneath my bed but I was attending a class before returning to my trailer home just to see it completely gutted.
Long story not short, the first page's very first and very ancient deep in BC quote in that book was about not ever trusting no one. Writer's country may have been ancient Greece but I can't recall.
They said "We will send you the check, and you can wait until it clears... Then we will cash your check for the taxes..."
I called my bank. They said "Yeah, this is a scam. They got an insurance company check. And they replicate the checks. And print you one. It will clear. UNTIL about 2-4 weeks when it is reviewed, and discovered to be a fraudulent check. And then we have to give the money back, and we take it from your account. Leaving your balance negative..."
I asked... "Well, if you can do that for the insurance company... Why can't you do that and get my check back?"
He literally said "Because their fraud was against the insurance company. Not you. You paid them in good faith!" WTF?
But I quickly learned there are SO MANY scams. And they get better as the public gets educated.

Why waste a perfectly good body when you can force it to work and pay the victims back?
Once in a while I'll try something like, "No, you're not James. I know you. You're my uncle's friend Krishna Gupta. I recognize your voice."
speaking with foreign (and apparently MidEast or
maybe Asiatic-Indian) accents, who identify themselves by English (or apparently Anglo-Saxon) names, such as "James", "Mark",etc. That sounds very fake.
Sounding Caucasian with a deep northern accent, he said I won about half a million bucks from some government surplus bullSciuff plus some expensive sporty care I can't remember the make and model of. Likely because I did not believe it existed.
Yeah, the scammer was all friendly, asking what I've been doing and what I had for lunch, blah, blah, blah, and all that.
Finally, he told me I needed to wire $750 from one Walmart to one in El Paso, Texas. I told him that's baloney and hung up on him .
He called me back to scream, "We need to talk like big men! Big men!"
I hung up on him again, laughing at his greedy criminal ass.
Hope he was really upset due to telling his Mafia boss or whomever that he had really hooked a live one.
When some caller claims my computer is full of viruses I let them give me the instructions needed for them to mess up my Windows computer. But I'm running Linux here, now far down a road I started with Bell Labs Unix version 6. (Yes, I have the requisite bootleg copy of John Lions' commentary.) Fun, fun!
I have no idea of what can be done to move things back in the right direction but identification of the origins of a problem is often helpful in correcting the problem.
my account is 1-2-3-4-5
same as my luggage combo
Tell elderly relatives not to answer any call from an unknown number, or anyone they don't know. If the caller leaves a voicemail claiming to be from a government agency, threatening to cut off their Social Security or Medicare, tell them to contact that agency and report a fraud call, because those agencies do not communicate by phone.
of episodes criticizing the early 2000's Bush.
They used a surrogate character (who supported Bush) and gave that character "Mad Cow"
disease, which they treated like dementia.
(Irony that their man Buydem was the actual dementia patient.)
I wondered what they'd do for plots after Obama was elected.
What did they do?
They cancelled the show.
Time to cancel D.C. permanently.
The Three Letter Agencies???
It's not called a PSYOP because it sounds cool.
Psychological operations are used on your enemy to affect their thinking and actions.
If a PSYOP is being used on the American people, that makes us the enemy.
Wake up people.
