Stuff is just getting more expensive, because of demand competition with AI. There is no reason to think that production for non-AI computing will ever hit literally zero.
Dems/Repubs will happily play hot potato together forever,
Well, yes, there is a perverse incentive here. It sucks.
Basic math and game theory still means that voting third party is self-destructive, in the current US climate.
But I have actually been surprised by how fluid the UK system is right now. They have third parties, in a FPTP system. But the slavish Republicans voters seems to make that not viable in the US.
ChatGPT foreslog mig "causal insinuation" som et navn på den retoriske manipulations-teknik som er brugt. Hvilket vist ikke er et officielt begreb, men virker som en ret god beskrivelse.
I am always surprised at how cheap it would be to save the world - for example decarbonize to stop global warming. $10 trillion is 1/4th the US national debt. That kind of stuff is payable, if we want to.
The opening text image did explicitly say that the writers did come up with explanations.
Solution is to abolish first-past-the-post first. Not to ignore mathematics and pretend reality does not exist.
Until enough people do, and sufficient votes are taken from the purple party, that they lose.
Nope, you utterly miss the point. First past the post means that Republicans win when the anti-fascist vote is split.
If you don't like the current candidates of the Democrat party, then go vote in the Democrat primary.
Imagine if the people in USA got a system that helped them vote for what they want, not against who they don’t want. Imagine… :)
There is this little thing called "objective reality". First past the post sucks, but it is objective reality. You should try taking it into account, some time.
From both a moral and an economical perspective, price controls on oil in the US would make tons of sense right now.
The US is self sufficient with oil, so technically there is no problem with shortages if price controls were put into place.
But as Krugman said, in the current political environment, such price controls are simply not being considered. The US is run by free market morons.
Republicans also really love when you vote third party.
Republicans also really love when you vote third party.
It could very well be that Iran gave Trump a personal present - as in literally put $1b into Trump's bank account.
Trump would accept that. And Iran would happily do that, since it only delegitimizes Trump and America. So it seems surprisingly plausible...
Why do you think this fungus would absorb more radiation than e.g. a similar volume of water?
