If you get eagle scout you get a small raise when you join the military, same as if you had an associates degree.

But there are some nice planets.

Ds9 would be completely insignificant that far in the future

Solar panels last a long time and in 30 years or so we will have enough to power the world for a century.

Solar panels and computer chips need large complex centralized factories, but that is basically 0%of the Land so there's no problem with having both, as long as you don't pretend that your solar powered homestead isn't dependent on inputs like that.

It's negative value, because you'd have tons of poor refugees. And it would cost massive billions to rebuild.

No.

That was partially just a result of the NG having rifles but not the less than lethal tear gas and stuff now.

Why does Science have to be so political anyway?

It was like 500-600 a month for two people a decade ago but the insurance plans on the exchange have gone up in price about a 100 monthly, every year. But they also dissappear after getting too high, so there are increasingly fewer plans from new or small providers. This year it's 1200 monthly. These plans were actually quite good though compared to regular plans people get from their employer, with 0 copay and 0 deductible. For low income people on the exchange it cost them 0-100$ monthly for them, and the subsidies covered the entire plan cost up to around 1000$ a month. So last year you could have excellent health coverage for 50 dollars a month, but no longer.

The big problem of course was that without the universal mandate, the whole obamacare plan didn't really work long term because the cost kept going up without any of the parts to keep that price down because of the Supreme court.

Bribing politicians is cheap, it's generally millions for billions and more like 100k to billion for small politicians.
