A little more detail. I marked 4 of the 5 largest extinction events. Crossing the purple line shown in the diagram resulted in extinction events throughout Earth's past. This is about 5C from where we are today. If we cross that threshold, the feedbacks might become overwhelming.
@IndianaModerate@DavidBlizzard The US spends 18% of GDP on healthcare. We should be able to make it a universal system by eliminating overhead via universal coverage.
@Grimetime619@fiat_money So you want workers to take pay cuts in their existing jobs. Maybe if all the execs give up most of their compensation and stock options, we can lower prices.
@uk_decoded@wattsupwiththat Aren’t they defunding the NHS though so everyone ends up paying for healthcare via a privatized system that charges them like in the US? They won’t care about saving money if they are making money from the misery.
@AlexGodofsky Lake Mead, Rio Grande and the Ogallala aren’t doing that great. Probably need to build cisterns and grey water systems to capture and conserve water to avoid bottled water.
@TexasAnCap Most people believe the govt does not create money but also believe that the govt causes inflation by adding money to the economy. How do you unteach that?
