@joemoran4094020 @FB_viktor Making money is easy. Keeping money is hard.

@GadSaad What is the catalyst that prompts a society to turn to vigilantism?

@DavidAHoward @Landeur I was going to say she will be a future headline. I was wrong, but only in the use of the word "future."

@Landeur She's a whore.

@PeterSweden7 Sometimes things must end.

[Erehwonenoon @dwarrilow2002]

@SOrbit31914 Absolutely not. White ancestors were the first to develop arrow tips, create the printing press, free the slaves, develop antibiotics, develop insulin, and make many other positive contributions.

You wouldn't be able to make such an absurd question without "White" people.

@peterstopcrime The kid committed a crime. I hope that he was charged.

@d33r3driv3r @LT_3698 @JezziiB You are missing my main point. Even if Elon Musk gave away all of his money, at most, the rest of the world would get $100 as a one-time payment.

To fiddle with the expression, he would be giving a man a fish instead of hiring a man to fish.

I'm planning on making the trip in the next couple of days.

Canada doesn't offer the option of transporting your car like that. I would have to ship my car, which would cost over $1500 CAD (807 GBP).

Just taking a sleeper seat from Toronto to Edmonton costs over $750 CAD (404 GBP) and takes 3 days.

Driving my car will cost over $500 CAD (269.20 GBP) and will take 4 to 5 days. I'll might take longer and visit relatives or sightsee along the way.

I could fly there for less than $500, but since I intend to travel for a couple of months, I would need to rent a vehicle once I get out west.

Obviously, I am approaching this from a different perspective. I loved cruise control when it came out. For the ten years I was at university, I drove a couple of hours twice a week... so I am bored with driving.

[Erehwonenoon @dwarrilow2002]

It wouldn't even need to be a rail. It could be embedded markers or paint that the sensors on the vehicles could detect and be constrained by.

Coming from Canada, we don't measure long-distance driving by km or miles. We measure it by hours. To visit my son and his family, it is roughly 35 to 40 hours of pure driving time (4 to 5 days). Imagine how easy it would be to watch videos, nap, or drink coffee as the miles rolled by, as AI did most of the work.

@BackBrexitBen I hope:

- Police officers will be permanently suspended

- Carrying ceremonial knives will become illegal

- The most stringent punishment will be carried out, followed by deportation for both mother and son.

I used to be hesitant about Capital Punishment. Not any longer.

@DavidAHoward @MarcNixon24 Somehow, Brookfield is doing well!!! He is a genius... just not for any government he is associated with.

[Erehwonenoon @dwarrilow2002]

@PeterSweden7 Especially in Sweden.

@writethewrongs2 Muted. Not worth talking to.

[Erehwonenoon @dwarrilow2002]

Given the choice between AI and mass migration, I feel AI is the better solution. AI can improve, but certain people in Canada will always be dangerous on the roads.

I understand that several cities in the UK, such as Cambridge and Leigh, use concrete curbed tracks that buses follow, allowing them to bypass traffic congestion while still using their standard tires. Maybe AI vehicles need to integrate with this system.

[Erehwonenoon @dwarrilow2002]

There are a couple of reasons, but let's set that aside.

Has increased CO2 been so bad?

Food production in countries like Tanzania has increased by about 6% per year since the early 70s. This isn't due to new technology or fertilizers - 90% of the farmers continue traditional practices. More CO2 means more plant food, and water conservation in plants is less important.

Measurements from satellites show that from 2000 to 2020 alone, there was an estimated 10% increase in global green foliage cover.

As seen during the COVID years, reducing CO2 emissions will not affect temperatures in the short run.

William Happer argues that at current atmospheric concentrations (roughly 420 parts per million), the specific infrared bands that CO2 can absorb are already "saturated." Adding more or less will have little impact on what happens. If you paint a building red, painting it again will not make it redder. Not painting it again won't make it less red.

What if we approached it with an "Adapt To" rather than a "Stop" strategy? What would have happened if the UK had continued with its previous fossil fuel energy system, but instead improved the insulation of houses?

The UK can adapt!
Managed Realignment: Instead of just building higher walls, the UK is increasingly using "managed realignment," where coastal land is allowed to flood to create salt marshes. These marshes serve as natural buffers that absorb storm-surge energy and are significant carbon sinks.
Peatland Restoration: The UK’s peatlands are a massive, albeit damaged, carbon store. Restoring these landscapes is one of the most effective ways the UK can sequester carbon while simultaneously improving biodiversity and flood management.

Neither of these affects the daily life of individuals like a Carbon Tax has had in Canada, but both are an adaptation to storms.

Poverty isn't systemic to Capitalism. It is systemic in any human-based system.

Saying that humans are born equal is like saying they are all born the same height and weight.

While they are born with the same rights, those rights are stripped away by those in power over them.

[Erehwonenoon @dwarrilow2002]

If you accept that China is the largest non-capitalist (Socialist with Chinese Flair) country. I assembled a list of countries that are sufficiently capitalist and padded it with Mexico to bring the population numbers up to match China's population.

I compared the poorest 10% of the population and arrived at the average daily income for this group. Somehow, being in a capitalist country is better than being in a non-capitalist country if you are poor.

United States: ~$23.50 / day
Canada: ~$26.40 / day
Australia: ~$25.10 / day
Denmark / Western EU Hubs: ~$31.80 / day
Eastern / Southern EU Hubs: ~$11.20 / day
(The total European Union average for the bottom 10% balances out to roughly $18.50 / day)
United Kingdom: ~$21.10 / day
South Korea: ~$22.60 / day
Japan: ~$19.80 / day
Singapore: ~$26.00 / day
Mexico: ~$4.10 / day

Genuinely good for you. Poverty decreases IQ by 13 points. The poor are less able to visualize successful strategies to get them out of poverty.

There was a writer, Horatio Alger Jr., who wrote in the mid-late 19th century.

Alger's breakout success came when his iconic novel Ragged Dick was serialized in 1867 and published in book form in 1868. This book kicked off his famous "rags-to-riches" formula. For the next three decades until his death, he wrote aggressively, producing over 100 books.

Maybe you need to start writing books, Joe.

@omgsidewalks Ehhh? When do conservatives ever talk about Capitalism? That verbiage is Marxist.
