this is just high-powered wankery and this article states so:
“I’ve been doing this for 10 years, and the number of times we’ve had to refer an issue to law enforcement—I have more fingers on one hand,” says James Diggans, vice president of policy and biosecurity at Twist Bioscience, a DNA synthesis company. “The real number of people who are trying to create misuse may be very close to zero.”

i don't think there are limits on paracetamol, but there are limits on codeine and such, you need ID for that. it's just that nobody needs this in these amounts
or any other arty, or any competent ATGM, or bomber drone, or mines (perhaps also laid by a drone), or FPVs detonated on command (with EFPs or something like segment of MON-100 mine)

you might think that japanese boomers have generational wealth in form of real estate. this is not really the case, especially for rural population. houses aren't built to last, lose value like motherfucker and are commonly demolished after 20-30 years, in part because people don't like second hand, in part because there's no point of building anything sturdier if typhoon or earthquake takes it. there is some newer construction that is intended to last longer, but it's not a very common thing. so a reverse mortgage type thing won't exist there, and yeah lots of people will get shafted by these conditions
is nobel committee fronting everyone on the next bubble?
