<p>This might be true but it's not needed.<p>I'm looking for the documentary about the US economy and the silent industries that secretly prop it up.<p>Taxing people is work. To make an industry responsible allows both government to not invest and risk additional losses but allowing people to overpay gives them a surplus while allowing for those that make mistakes that cost the government to recoup in justice fees.<p>I remember the video having lawyers asked what the most profitable industry in America was, they all claimed the legal system when it was accounting.</p>

<p>Your mind wouldn't ask a brick to show it a mind would it?  It identifies something similar and depending how important it serves it's purpose it'll keep evaulating how much can be learned by this.<p>Keep in mind we're only letting "intelligent" people contribute to this conversation and that in itself is biased. Why aren't we trying to identify why schizophrenic or people with split personalities chime in on why they perceive things differently and manage to survive.<p>We say they're unsuccessful in life but by our standards and that's not much different than a servant of a faith, no?<p>That's all your minds looking for. Things that change with a pattern it can differentiate. Bricks don't change unless something you understand changes it. Like inertas definition or Murphy's law, an obersavation of change from a perspective.</p>

<p>This is where relativity comes in.<p>What's good or bad?  You can't compare anything too distant or you loose sight of the differentiation.<p>That stone is mater just like my brain but one was assembled molecularly a long time ago and the other evolved and was likely billions of molecules from around the planet at the time the stone formed.<p>I have info in my brain that's really only useful to me from a distance but truely only useful to my cortex, but my boss likes what I do with it for him. He says I do a good job but his competitors think it's all bad and some of my employees also attribute my success as a bad thing. But is that thing they consider bad me or something relative to them and not apples to apples to what my boss considers good?</p>

<p>If you draw all of the system out you'll see it's no longer tangible and that's why FDIC allows for 99 years to make good on that promise. I think the math works out that inflation alone in a system that survives 99 years can recoup any system that collects an average of 30% recirculation</p>

<p>My understanding is any government vendor has to let said government at least audit the source if not provide it to allow then to modify for the equipment they purchase.<p>With that said , if they also control the land it's being shipped through I recall pictures of nsa intercepting Cisco boxes to update FW.<p>So really it's a matter of which government you want spying on you and whether you keep MGMT private or not.</p>
