Not sure what any of this has to do with Internet spaceships.
The health care debate has been beaten to death, with lies from the Democrats and fear mongering from the Republicans. Situation normal. All I can say is one thing: The poor and uninsured already have free access to health care in the US. Every public hospital in the country is required to accept everyone who walks in the door, and give them equal treatment, regardless of ability to pay. You don't even need to be a US citizen. The last time I was in the emergency room, they didn't even ask for my insurance until after I was treated. The whole "health care reform" issue is about politics and control, and has nothing to do with actual health care.
But that has nothing to do with Internet spaceships.
Neither does the whole bank bail out issue, which was embraced by the Republicans and enthusiastically implemented by the Democrats. Of course the Republicans were blamed by the Democrats for removing the regulations which allowed this to happen in the first place, but that's of course not the full story. The person in charge of the committee to recommend these regulations was a Democrat, namely Sen. Dodd. A certain Sen. McCain had a very passionate speech in front of the senate several years before the financial system imploded, calling out the banks, the faulty practices, and begging for regulations. No one wants to talk about that, or how Sen. Dodd accepted the second largest amount of money in donations from the banking industry. The only senator who accepted more? Senator Obama, of course.
But that has nothing to do with Internet spaceships, either.
What does have to do with Internet spaceships, is that with even the most basic analysis, it is obvious that T2 BPO's have no real affect on the markets. T2 ships that have never had BPO's are just as screwy as the rest, as are most of the larger T1 ships. Either way, when someone spends tens (or hundreds!) of billions of isk on something, CCP is going to have to tread carefully before yanking them out of the game or crippling them in some way.
That said, let me submit this: If CCP decided that, instead of yanking the T2 BPO's, that they should just seed them like T1 BPO's, and remove invention... how might inventors react? Would inventors be happy about the "leveling of the playing field", or perhaps would they feel a bit... cheated?
