Well, there is that. My basement would have to have been 100 ft down to escape the heat this year.

Bullshit, mine is mostly underground and it stays in the low 60s (even when it was in the 100s outside) with my AC upstairs set at like 72-74. It's a fucking awesome refrigerator. I sometimes want to run a heater down there when it's fucking scorching outside.

I guess my HVAC mixing box is better than yours. My basement stays about 4-5 degrees cooler than my upstairs.

Couple that thermostat with a smart meter and smart grid and Big Brother will not only be able to determine what "gadjets" you have in your house, He will also be able to control them if He wants to.

Read up on RFID chips, which are being placed in practically every product made, and y'all should become very, very afraid

You are wayyyyy behind. PEPCO has already installed smart meters. And you are correct in your assumptions. But the only way to keep it from happening is to go totally "off grid". No cell phone, no credit card, no utility power etc...
You wanna be the next billionaire ? Find a way to mine electrical power harmonics for equipment signatures and catalog them.

BOTTOM LINE: The Chiappa PASSIVE RFID can be read ONLY when passed within (2-3 inches) of an active (and powered) reader that is dialed in for the particular long antenna radio frequency of the RFID-this is not random. And it will NOT go into operation for a year or more.
