I've been doing this for a couple years. One time - an Indian dude responded to me with excellent Spanish, so I switched to the little German I know. Call ended quickly at that point. :)
Also - be prepared to be on the Spanish language spammer's list. Mostly automated, but still annoying. For some reason I've been on both Spanish and Korean spam lists. Go figure.
1. Cremation has become the far cheaper option. And, it used to be a bit taboo from a Christian perspective ... but now it's very popular. (>60% today in the US.)
2. Military cemeteries have lots of room and all honorably discharged vets have the option of taking a free plot for themselves and their spouse. With WW2, Korea, Vietnam ... a notable % of the population (and their spouses) went there. (I know several living Vietnam vets who are expecting to be interned in a nearby national cemetery.)
3. Many rural cemeteries were over platted allowing for room to grow. Every once in a while, you will see them expand by moving fencing, etc.
4. Mausoleums (going vertical) are becoming more popular in some parts of the country.
1. Humans can't control the weather.
2. Humans have been cloud seeding (typically aluminum powder) since the early 70's in USSR to pull moisture out of the air. USSR mostly used it to make sure all military parades were not interrupted by rain. And, now this practice is being done around the world.
3. Humans (shadowy governments) use sites like HAARP to control hurricanes/typhoons around the world.
#2 is the correct answer.
But, I find very it interesting that people are generally not strong critical thinkers and can't comprehend the delta between #2 and #3. So, once once they go from believing #1 to #2 ... they suddenly they go to #3 and believe that the military has super energy tech and are the gods of the weather. Dumb.
Sports boy's funeral is this weekend. He was knifed by the din-du-nuffin. Frisco, TX. At a school event.
Usual media suspects are already saying the din-du is the 'real victim". And, the boy's fag of a father is already asking people to not "make this racist".
So, yeah ... different outcome for these two specifically, (one is dead and one will be in jail until he is almost dead) but you aren't wrong. Just more of the same BS in the future. When will we learn?
Remember: Germany doesn't have religious freedom. The German "Christian" church is funded by mandatory tax dollars. The German "Christian" church is an extension of the German ZOG.
Not sure if you are mocking the word "goods" or not... but yeah ... maybe not so good things:
Huge pharma industry (I know, shocking.)
Huge porn industry (I know, shocking.)
There are a bunch of military tech related companies. (Drone components, weapons, etc.)
Meh. If I agreed to live only 6-7 more years, I could have all this. Sadly, I'm expected to exist at least a 3-4 more decades. Guess I can't burn the retirement fund yet.
10+ years ago, when Reddit wasn't completely trash, someone wrote a fictional story called [Rome Sweet Rome](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rome,_Sweet_Rome)
It's an extensive thought experiment much like the question you are asking. [Here you go.](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/k067x/could_i_destroy_the_entire_roman_empire_during/)
Edit: To add further - the big assumption in both of these scenarios is that both sides are of relatively equal IQ, work ethic, motivation, etc. Far different discussion than say the [Battle of Blood River](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Blood_River) ... where 500 Boers defeated 25,000 Zulus.
I'll give him a pass since his views elsewhere are top notch.
He has a more traditional libertarian view on immigration and sees most of the problem as a problem of government corruption and the welfare state.
It's true that MOST immigration (legal or not) would go away if there was no welfare state, if there was no emergency services available for non citizens, if we were not spending billions on hotel rooms for illegals. Etc.
But, it wouldn't fully go away ... with massive global wage disparities ... there are people who would still take the lowest paying jobs and if they get hurt ... dying on a clean street corner is better than dying on a shit covered street corner.
The fundamental challenge for us libertarians - how can we trust the government to manage human migration if we don't trust governments to not restrict our own personal movement/freedom? As you mentioned, this is a very Rothbardian view, held by Ron Paul and other traditional librarians.
But, here is an article from a well respected libertarian writer who is challenging this perspective (I personally found interesting / educational):

This is especially funny when you realize that NASA hasn't done anything useful since they have real Nazis working for them.
Guess the Nazis are just better at everything.
Joking aside: Having NASA on your resume is death for your career. Engineering hiring managers hire an ex-con before they hire someone who pushed papers around for >5 years.
For those in the know - NASA engineers are the DMV of engineering ... CYA and policy committees ... no creativity, no passion, no drive. The only way to get fired is (a) screw-up a major project and maybe (b) not show-up. So, as long as you show up and do nothing ... you can sail right into white collar retirement.
In theory, legal processes run outside the limitations or influence of the Commander-In-Chief. (Separation of power, legal/judicial/executive branches, etc.)
But, with our corrupt and broken system (I'm looking at you SDNY judges ... bunch of corrupt fucks) ...
Who knows, it's all kangaroo courts these days anyways.
Agreed! No question. But, the point being is - the corruption is so massive and so rampant ... I'm confident that no-one really knows if the contract was completed. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. But, there has been a change of the guard which is a great time to figure it out.

Multiple reasons.
1. Cremation has become the far cheaper option. And, it used to be a bit taboo from a Christian perspective ... but now it's very popular. (>60% today in the US.)
2. Military cemeteries have lots of room and all honorably discharged vets have the option of taking a free plot for themselves and their spouse.

Three perspectives:
1. Humans can't control the weather.
2. Humans have been cloud seeding (typically aluminum powder) since the early 70's in USSR to pull moisture out of the air. USSR mostly used it to make sure all military parades were not interrupted by rain. And, now this practice is being done around the world.

Yes. Just another lie and another grift. (Thanks American media and education system!)
Sure, they wouldn't be able to so freely genocide the surrounding Semitic peoples like they do today without the billions for bombs.
But, even without US non-military aid, they are wealthier than the UK, France, Italy, South Korea, etc. (GDP per capita.)
