Motorcycle: 600 pounds, very good sight lines, ability to hear surroundings, maneuverable around obstacles

Car: over 2000 pounds, poor sight lines, poor stopping and maneuverabilty, lots of distractions.

motorcycles are more dangerous to the operator

cars are more dangarous to other road users

Emergenty rooms in hospitals are legaly required to help all patieints, so you would recieve care. Usually until you are able to leave the hospital. You would not receive followup care without going to the emergecy room, or paying cash. You would be billed for all services, usually at a higher rate than insured patients

Rains on eastern equatorial coasts are caused by circulation af the hadley cells. The pressure differetials are caused by heating, and the circular course is from corialis forces. Adding heat won't shutdown either of these. what other mechanisms would result in desert in the amazon or phillipines?

I don't think we have anything like a minimal spectrum governance model. The entity which governs spectrum probably doesn't need to be the one that governs borders.

Fundametaly, the question, "in a society with a fundamentaly different organizing priciple, how would you solve problem x?" always comes down to "imperfectly, but hopefully better than the current solution<

If we look at the rhetoric, the soviet state was certainly left wing, but the main policy was state capitalism. To my mind, state capitalism is not a right wing (favors private control of industry) nor a left wing (favors worker control of industry) policy.

This is definitely a case where pure left/right dichotomy doesn't serve to accurately describe the situation on the ground.
