I shave DE and this is an amazing idea. I currently use a sharps container, but this is so much more fun.

I was about to write back that we are not far off the advances to make these affordable and then did a google search and found that you can get a distilled unit on Amazon for $180 that is capable of making a gallon in 5 hours for about $.45 worth of electricity. That is far less than what it costs to buy distilled water at the store, which is around $1 a gallon. If you look at this from a break-even analysis, you technically start to reap the rewards of ownership after about 800 uses since the first 400 uses basically cost you $1.45 per gallon, then the next 400 costs you $.45 per gallon, but you are recouping that extra cost over the $1 retail price, so by the 800th use, you are getting water at less than half the price of the store.

Not necessarily. It just requires excitation at a molecular level. You can get creative with your source. They have been playing around with low energy methods like LED or even just using the sun, geothermal, etc.

Distill water, then add minerals back into it, and bottle in glass, profit.

Shouldn’t we get their side of the story?

Ever hear of public primary and high school. It’s free. You just need to make the kids show up so that they don’t end up being criminals.

Or some of you will realize that you need to get an education and a job and help the others learn. The ones that don’t learn should be sent to a remote part of Alaska and provided survival manuals that they need to figure out how to use to build a civil society. Their will be sentries ala Escape from LA/NY and these criminals can either choose to live in peace or chaos. Drones will televise for entertainment.

Truth. It can stop if we get rid of the gangsters in the ghettos with their illegal guns. We don’t need more cops, just higher rent and taxes to price you out of your dwellings and force you to leave since you refuse to get an education and find jobs.

I don’t know many open air prisons that have a defacto government that can declare war and has a military in the tens of thousands.

It’s not a war crime to stop doing business with a “country”.

Makes sense to me. The defacto government of Gaza waged war with Israel. Gaza clearly had a sustainable plan of action to do such bold measures. Either that or they are idiots.

What do you mean. I live on my land. Also, if I wanted to buy other land, I can because the system works.

What if I refuse to work?

No. I live in it, but I could because it is a free country. Unlike the “people-owned” regime that you are proposing.

I own an acre AMA.

I learned ro code from handmedown computers at a young age and worked my way up the corporate ladder. I own a nice big home and am a millennial. I completed a part time MBA while working and am able to take vacation every three months or so. Nothing is stopping you all from being successful, but yourselves. I agree that the system has massive flaws, but destroying capitalism isn’t the answer. The risk-reward system works.

I will. I make it a point to read everything that people suggest to me. I’ll likely come back here to shit on it though.

You want too drastic a change. I believe a political evolution is still possible without throwing the baby out with the bath water.

I own private property and am not a billionaire, so not sure what you are on about with that statement. I got educated and have a decent living situation with a nice corporate remote job. I’ll have my student loan paid off around 40. These things were all easy to do. The people with issues do this to themselves. Sorry you are lazy and want to leach off my success.

That’s kind of how a business works though. People show up at the entity that you’ve orchestrated, work via your guidelines, and get paid.
