CR Note: I think the pace of innovation will accelerate and I'm very optimistic about the future!
And this "innovation" will benefit an increasingly small slice of society. The future seems bright to Bill because he is in the socio-economic class that has been and will continue to benefit from "innovation". As for the little people, the poors, the bottom 9 deciles, I willl paraphrase Sebastian: there are always losers.
Here's what you need to know about economics: the price of everything is determined by supply and demand. There are no exceptions to the relationship between supply, demand, and price. By logical extension there is no such thing as a "fake price."That doesn't mean prices can't be manipulated. It means that such manipulation requires either soaking up supply (e.g., the Fed buying $85 billion a month of paper) or increasing demand (e.g., paying $200 for a dozen roses because it's Valentine's Day).

The gains in some U.S. areas aren’t sustainable for a healthy market, said Dean Baker, co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research in Washington.“If prices keep going up at this rate for another six months, we will have a bubble, and people will get hurt,” he said in a telephone interview.

My own personal gripe is with the clowns going 50mph in the middle lane of the 3 lane interstate
I don't drive often but when I do I always make a point of driving a touch below the speed limit. It provide me enormous amusement to see cagers go absolutely ballistic because I am legally driving a few miles below the speed limit on I5 or I405 (50 mph speed limit in the portland area). Sometimes I develop a parade of dozens of cars because they become trapped in my lane because adjacent lanes are whizzing by at 75.

not sure how this is a pro-speeding argument.
Speed isn't even a big factor when properly measured.
i challenge this statement. when it comes to deaths speed along with intoxication is a major factor.

yes...exactly. in the usa even the poors own homes. moreover, the overall average is in the 60s and this is biased by the top quintile (e.g. obama supporters) who own at a 91% rate.

40-50,000 human beings die each year in the USA due to reckless operation of heavy machinery on our roads. As far as I am concerned there should be speed cameras every few miles, the fines should be highly regressive, and repeat offences should be felonies.

Everything We Know About What’s Happened Under Sequestration - ProPublica
In Washington, agency after agency is planning to furlough its employees. “The Department of Housing and Urban Development,” the Washington Post reported, “will shut down for seven days starting in May, after concluding that staggering furloughs for 9,000 employees would create too much paperwork.” The Internal Revenue Service will also shut down almost entirely on furlough days. And Department of Labor employees have already started taking their furlough days, which they can do a half-day at a time.

No, Gödel's Completeness Theorem.
You conflated the completeness theorem with the incompleteness theorem.
And having formally studied the incompleteness theorem in an academic setting I can tell you that it has nothing to do with a "mathematical framework sufficiently complex to be useful." Utility is not a mathematical concept.

The pink slips at my billion dollar employer are now officially starting. 2 techs were just layed off and a neighboring lab dumped a post-doc. Americans and the vapid congress-critters they elect do not understand that a 6% cut at the NIH can result in a 10-20% cut in basic science. A cut of this magnitude can kill research lines. Its like refusing to do basic maintenance because it costs too much.

I am writing the Party of Stupid (neé GOP) funeral dirge as we speak.
I think your gluten free diet may be a little deficient in B vitamins because this would explain how you apparently forgot that Barack Hussein Obama suggested the sequester.
Obama also suggested the military surge in Afghanistan, the slaughter of tens of thousands of innocent civilians via illegal targeted assasinations, and the continued operation of a goat-herder torture camp. And Obama has also repeatedly suggested deep cuts in immensely popular depression-era insurance benefits while suggesting that SEC not prosecute a single finance-banking-lending executive despite incontrovertible evidence of fraud and criminality on a scale that makes the late Roman republic look like a lady's bridge club.
