I live right next to protected wetlands and am appalled that the government would even consider allowing drones to fly up to 100 mph over these areas that have been set aside for wildlife.
It has taken years for birds such as the Egret and Osprey and others to come back to a survival level and they won't stay in the areas set aside for them if the drones are allowed anywhere near them.
Just seems to be a free for all game and no one has thought out the ramifications to a new and not really needed technology.
Love Bezos who is just trying again to eliminate jobs for human beings by eliminating human delivery drivers threatening to leave the US if they won't let him have his bizarre way. Hope he goes.
I live in a wetlands area and get more than enough sun but I share this space with some extraordinary birds and I have watched them now for years fly just a few feet higher than the roofs of the few houses here. The thought of acres and acres of solar panels makes me wonder if we might be harming or killing other species.
It really needs serious, objective study because we already know birds have been killed by windmills.
Animals do learn from awful experiences but they have less and less space as we build up more and more and we should be careful.
Just a question. At what point in your dealings with a doctor or a hospital are you supposed to negotiate? It's tough when in you are in an ambulance because you just had a stroke.
Maybe part of this could be helped if doctors and hospitals were required to post their rates on their websites.
And if there are "right" hospitals and "incorrect" ones that information should be in the front seat of every ambulance.
It's not just the fear of spam. I have been so ticked off that while representatives and Senators can vote on all sorts of things that affect people in areas not "theirs," we who so often get creamed are not able to write to anyone other than our own representative. For awhile, we only had 1 senator and our representative had announced he was retiring. Our other Senator was under investigation for ethics violations. That was tantamount to ZERO representation and because I live in NJ it happens way too often.
And sadly Apple has dragged its feet for years and is now on the verge of being FORCED by the government to spend some time and effort on including the needs of the deaf in all of their whiz bang products.
They have been a profoundly bad example for corporate America and by their getting away with things so long way too many deaf people have been kept in needless isolation.
I suppose I could put up with the headaches but that the least of what happens to my eyes when I am in an florescently lit atmosphere.
My eyes are filled with pain that nothing relieves. The pain moves on to redness that seems to up the pain level even more.
Is anything going to be done for the few of us that seem almost to be allergic to florescence. Normal soft light bulbs and halogen bulbs even more, permit me to have a reasonable quality of life. I am so concerned that with the rush to legislate everything under the sun that people like me will end up living at night with candles - which by the way are expensive and with their smoke throw Lord knows what into the air.
Does anyone know if those of us with opthamalogical probems will be permitted to use the less green but so much kinder though not very greenish bulbs that are available today?
Many thanks.

Drones - seem to be able to fly anywhere.

So please do open up ALL of these emails.
Many thanks for what you are doing.
