It sucks balls but it might not be as bad as it seems.

1) It gives an opportunity to show the bless their hearts not very bright folks what the dems were fighting for
2) SNAP starts up again
3) We run it back in January

Of course, not doing this would have been notably better.

Unfortunately there is no good answer here. ISYK, most "sex workers" in Germany are immigrants that are being taken advantage of. Prostitution is inherently degrading and exploitative to the person and to the social fabric. IMO the solution should probably be more legal regulation though.

The Romans made fun of the Greeks for not learning more than one language. But almost all literature was in Greek, and everyone else already knew Greek for that reason. So, most didn't bother. This is even more the case with English in a world with machine translation.

Not to say we shouldn't try.

You clearly overestimate the speed, safety, and comfort of airships. Sorry, they suck.

>1 mach air travel is ridiculously stupid, but per passenger long distance flights get better mileage than some EVs.

Private jets of course should be required to use synfuels immediately. They can afford it.

As long as the electricity infrastructure is publicly owned and no exclusivity contracts are signed, there is no inherent issue with multiple competing private providers. This is the case most of the time anyway, so that's not where these recent price issues have been coming from.

I am not ancap, but it would honest to God work better than what the US currently does

"The invisible hand guides all" is a very poor representation of how the US operates. "Privatize the gains, socialize the losses" rings much more true. Our stock market also essentially having an obligation to short term gains is also an absurdism, because it chops off half of all the equations.

I know. We should backdoor E2E encryption. This will stop cybercrime.

But also, the US govt *is* disappearing minorities already. Just not jews specifically.

Mussolini, the inventor of fascism, made it very clear it was not necessary to have it be based in racism. Hitler made that development.

It literally isn't about about maximizing GDP or even short term growth at this point. It is purely and solely for maximizing the money received through corruption.

Aging coal power plants, forced to stay open by Trump administration, are costing consumers millions
The Trump administration is illegally preventing coal power plants from retiring. The result? Higher electric bills, more pollution and worse health.

That was just Germany actually, and everyone's still pissed at them.

Norway is a straight up petro-state and has a 99.1% low carbon grid.

GDP has been decoupled from carbon emissions in developed countries for a while now. Including the US, believe it or not. ourworldindata.org/grapher/co2-...
Change in CO₂ emissions and GDP
Consumption-based emissions are national emissions that have been adjusted for trade. This measures fossil fuel and industry emissions. Land-use change is not included.
