Option 1: Move to Google, Kansas.

Option 2: Start your own ISP and charge yourself $10 a month (warning, significant overhead costs will apply).

Option 3: Have 6 roommates and share the internet bill.

If a municipal force is structured and instructed by its regional/federal government to disenfranchise a particular sub-segment of the population of it's own citizenry based on a certain characteristic (let's say race), and they and CALL it "a war", is that enough for international law to apply? Like the "war on drugs" in the US. Is that, like, an actual war? Or just political bloviating? If a municipal force is shown to be indiscriminately hostile towards a race within the confines of that situation, what international laws apply, if any? Sorry if this question is too stupid.

Not Krugman, but I am a behavioral economist. I think we're actually at the unified theory stage now. Prospect theory, for examples, ties a lot of other isolated effects (loss aversion and the endowment effect) together.

Gigerenzer and plenty of other decision scientists disagree with this sentiment for a variety of reasons.
