Default Here's my question:

Here's my question:

Under which economic system will my laptop battery run the longest?

Follow-up question:

Which economic system is the best for the greater number of people overall? Is there a point where we're sacrificing the quality of a lot of peoples' laptop batteries for the sake of improving a few peoples' laptop batteries? Morally, that doesn't seem right to me, if it ever occurs.

Oooh, a riddle! I know this one! The Answer is: the man never wanted the money in the first place. He was working undercover.

You thought you could outsmart me, didn't you? Not a chance.

yeah, somehow. but it's not totally militaristic. it's also a practice about what to do before, during and after an earthquake, fire extinguishing, medical emergencies, etc. the subject is named "defensive readiness" here.
I was taught how to assemble/disassemble a AK47, but it was not in our school's syllabus. we had a good teacher!
