Actually, almost half of Dems & 20% of GOP wanted to lock up Americans who didn't get the shots. NY State was about to vote on such a measure until it got public. That IS dystopian. https://www.rasmussenreports.com&#x2F

I don't know of any major markets that don't have '3 choices/person'. Rural areas are kinda left out, but with increasing consts of fibre, I doubt that will change soon. & competitors already get subsidized; ta

EPA regulations & labor prices (some blame unions) have a real cost impact on "Made in USA". Also why efficient mass transport (eg new bullet train lines) are too costly to build in USA.

I haven't read the book, but am familiar with the story. The pain origins don't need to be "psychosomatic" for the mind to override it; the pain may be real. The back surgeon interviewed patients long after back surgery

Yes 8note, exactly. Can't really "Run your own website" without filtering out the unsafe hosts. If you don't march to the beat of the drum, then Google, AWS, GoDaddy, MicroSoft, likely CloudFlare, IBM, etc will shut you
