Re: Pages 114, 115, 116

Re: The importance of skill in ever more advanced wars.

You seem to be labouring under the point that money is worthless (trust and confidence are not worthless in a modern economy) and that taxation somehow removes money from the economy (it doesn't) and that people profit from the results of their work instead of because of their work (they don't).

Re: The importance of skill in ever more advanced wars.

Children used stacks of money for playing, people used it to insulate the walls of their houses or even to burn to keep themselves warm. When the paper you print money on is more expensive than the money value it represents you are in trouble lol If salaries don't keep up with price rises middle cl...

Re: The importance of skill in ever more advanced wars.

hi hi Define True Value. Is this an objective measurement you can take of an object or item? If so, how do you measure the True Value of an item?

Re: The importance of skill in ever more advanced wars.

EDIT2: So in essence in order to replace a modern US marine you have to provide a robot that can everything a US marine does with a lower initial cost and lower yearly maintenance. To completely make soldiers obsolete you have to be able to cheaply and effectively replace conscripts. I think a gove...

Re: Page 104 discussion.

It would be pretty disappointing to have Tempo show up and probably take away all of your conversation time with a friendly alien. It's a long trip... who are you going to talk to - Fireblade? Tragic!
