Why do you need funding to say "this harmless thing is no longer illegal"?

What a blundering idiot. Perhaps he should try thinking before he speaks. What if I go to a restaurant? I order my food, I eat my food, and then I pay for my food? There, just ruined your analogy.

And referring to the business license as a "product"? Nobody *needs* a business license in order to run a business. They choose to force you to have a business license. It is basically extortion.

I guess you enjoyed paying $1/minute to use your cell phone or call a long distance number? Or paying $10,000/month for broadband Internet. BaTelCo was only ever a viable company due to their outrageous pricing. They were incredibly inefficient and overstaffed for decades.

How to make a boatload of money.

1. Buy residential land.
2. Call your buddy in Town Planning, and re-zone it as commercial
3. Develop your new commercial property for pennies on the dollar.

Does anyone know what URCA actually does?

Space X rockets are fueled with kerosene. Also known as Jet A. This is basically a slightly lighter petroleum distillate than diesel. So a Space X rocket booster failing to land, exploding and falling in to the sea is no worse than a mailboat sinking, or a plane crash. Even if the booster were to fail to land, it would explode, burning up all of the excess fuel.

I know it sounds scary and crazy to land rockets on boats, it is really a very low risk operation.
