The lack of transit is bit of a misdirection. It's very easy to run bus routes once there is an residential population. Setting up transit in advance doesn't make much sense. Also it's been primarily used by industry because

That's not actually true. Docks are controlled because they may interfere with navigable waterways. But you can build any house you want on unincorporated land (no municipality).

Normal operation of government is going to require some secrets. One of the things leaked by Manning was blunt assessments of foreign figures by diplomatic staff. That's exactly the sort of thing that needs to be kept secret for intern

Jason Schreier has been pushing for game developers to unionize for a while now. In the case of programmers, it really doesn't make much sense. There's a lot of BS that can come with unions. They have transferable skills. It'

An MS program won't take someone like that, but MBA programs quite commonly take in people without undergrad degrees who have an impressive enough resume.

I've never heard of someone being charged with possession of antibiotics without a prescription. That happens with steroids.

The big problem with nuclear is that it's only economical to run the reactors at full blast 24/7. However demand goes up through the day and down over night. You need to pair it with some sort of grid energy storage. That's n

The ASVAB effectively is an IQ test. There's more of a breakdown than other tests, but you can calculate IQ from it. The SAT isn't considered a proper IQ test.
