The aforementioned drivers opting to work 10 hours a week, what are their options? The way I see it, as employees, their employers will either give them benefits for 10 hour work, or force them to work 40 hours.

Nature may be less considerate. The problem with failing or particular case isn't the shame, it's the death and destruction.

It's a compelling theory, but I'd love to see some harder evidence. Innovative genius is older than free societies.

How about a bluetooth dongle in your pocket? Less visible, and unless there hostiles know about it, they will separate you from the computer. A phone could work. An apparent car key would be better. Best would be a piece of clothing, like a

I assume the USGS still holds the same data, no less accessible than before. So, if Google has put their copy of the data behind a wall, or deleted it, it's no less accessible than if Google had never been allowed to make that copy.

Did you try asking the USGS? Google presumably also didn't have a website with a download button.
