Internet, which was invented by military funded with tax dollars now costs me about $70/month (it was $5/month when they first hijacked it from the people)
TV also used to be free I think costs around $30-$200/month (I can live without that, but I know people invented and no longer have it for free)
etc.
So what's the fair price for clean air?
My internet is also free, but for some reason I have to pay for "service" which could have been provided by dudes killing people in the middle east.
After reading the OP...ANYTHING based on that silly premise suffers automatically from fatal logic errors.That makes no sense whatsoever.

Right. OK. I see. You just choose to give up. Compared to Genghis Khan, I think Social Security works magnificent. TSA, Homeland Security, Dept of Energy, Education, NRC, SEC, and others don't really work, but provide gov't jobs. Distribution of some of the tax money collected. Defense is Corporate Welfare and it is only one of many, Yeh, there you go, must be I like that welfare for the citizens. Those one vote citizens that can't afford to buy a Senator or Congressman.

If you would not be overrun with anger but be able to think logicaly, you could insult me just the same without breaking any rules, however I can tell that you are quick to judge slow to understand type. I have a "friend" who "served" in Iraq and Afghanistan who comes to my place to drink for free, because he's my friend, not because he is an idiot (which he is) and we don't talk about politics because I don't want to hurt his pride, but when I did and everyone got pissed off in my bar, I should point out that the people who actually WERE in the "battle" are not so pissed off, it's the people who never did anything that find the need to "stand up" to this idiocy. like the politicians who want to "support our brave kids in uniform" yet none of the senators/congressmen even had their children "serving" in Iraq/Afghanistan. fn pathetic. and then there is this poker player McCain who fell off the plane and was rescued by Asians who now is considered a war hero.!SICK society, SICK!!!!!!!
Actually I live in the middle of Allegheny national forest in PA. 2000 feet above sea level

It makes perfect sense if you use logic: people paid taxes with supported the military which invented the internet.That makes no sense whatsoever.
Cool! nice to meet you. I don't feel like running the bar business lately, too busy with other stuff, DUI laws + economy make it a difficult business to run in this place, I did not buy the bar to run it, just cause we liked the place, the woods... it was cheap. screw the alcoholics - it's entertaining for a while, but then gets tiring...Hi neighbor. I'm about 50 miles or less NE of you. Race sometimes at Allegheny Mountain and Bradford and Smethport. You've got great air in your neighborhood. That is a beautiful area and I hope the bar business is boomin'. Hunting season, wowser.
I think heavy fines against those polluting my/your air would be sensible. That's the fair price. Put the polluters out of business. With the realities of Global Warming, we need to have a "take no prisoners", "no holds barred" approach to our atmosphere. If that is socialist, fine. It is more just common sense.
I don't know anyone who rents home air filtration systems. They buy them. I can't see renting one.
Does the author of this forum rent an air filtration or purification system or machine? It takes a prescription now to buy an oxygen generator and there are some risks of dependency with those if you turn them too high.

THEN, at the convenient time, people with big money bought the internet and took over.
THIS reminds me of how one time me, my mom and my dad were looking for this building in Moscow, and were walking around all frustrated, and then when we finally saw the building we were looking for, my mom exclaimed in a frustrating tone "that's it, now I will lead" as if to say that we were stupid but now she found it. same exact thing here, big money corporations take over internet, health care, you name it. LOSER USA. keep paying more taxes to pay the debt owed to someone I don't know who.
ok, tell us how it happened exactly.Yeah look I was around and involved with computers when the Internet came into being, and before, and that's not exactly how it happened.

I am afraid I will have to pay for it one day, just like I am paying now for internet that should be free since it was invented for peoples tax dollarsFirst tell me what the hell all this has to do with paying for clean air. :mrgreen:

Compare the ongoing cost of wars in the middle east with the ongoing cost of internet service. then it will start to make sense.Maintenance on those servers and fiber-optic lines and routers and etc requires resources... machines, technicians, etc. How could it be free when there are ongoing costs?
Comparing the two makes no sense. The internet is an ongoing cost, air is outside your door.

You can have fun when your government will collapse in it's own debt because of it's shenanigans and the ignorance of people who support itNot really. But, have fun with your disingenuous comparisons.
