As a paying customer, the last thing I should have to sit through is ads. Let's not encourage a continuation of that practice.

This is completely true. I'd say additionally that the smart COBOL programmers in their 60's "retire" and then return the following week as consultants making 50% more. That has been my experience working with them.

Depends on how you do it. There are lots of ways to transfer assets down to the next generation to avoid tax. I won't list them all here, but the key point is that most of them take time to implement and the important part is to plan ahead

If I owe you a hundred dollars, I can say outright that I'm not going to pay you back or I can wait until that $100 is worth so little that it can't even buy a pack of gum at the store. The end result for the lender is pretty much the same

Except that a large portion of internet communications get routed through the US at some point. My guess would be that shutting down the internet for the US would impact more countries than just the US.
