It will be a mix of interesting and depressing to watch the healthcare systems around the globe handle an increasingly old population alongside increased weather extremes.

Doesn’t really matter if the economy got bigger if it just means more money to corporations. The average person has certainly not seen growth. A mortage increase of 5% coupled with low wage increases, high food and fuel inflation left most people much worse off.

Then again, this unit of measure has always been a very poor one in countries with huge wealth gaps.

Wanna bet most people making a scene out of it don’t even use sunscreen?

The sun pumps out some amazing stuff. It happens to be the OG nuclear reactor.

I say this as a long term caffeine for the rest of my life addict. Coffee + sugar is a wildly different effect than just coffee. I avoid sugar completely during my coffee hours.

Yep. Taking the piss aside, it was a smart move to co-star with someone so famous.

Was he seen alive recently? For all we know, that was just a pricey cremation.

He was paid in exposure, pride, and accomplishment.

In terms of the current systems we have in the west, yes. In terms of older revolutions no. It wasn’t intended to be a universal statement.

And I said generally. Not absolutely as your ‘all’ implies. The anchor for what I consider a person with excellent ideals and a beacon for humanity is MLK.

But you’re welcome to think of me as a moron if it helps you fulfil your outrage needs. Sleeping well at night is important.

What doesn’t? At this point I’d guess most people want him dead.

The people who generally want to destroy a system and rebuild anew are usually clueless or have an ulterior motive.

While we are nowhere near the best we could be, we are also nowhere near the worst we have been in the past. Today is the result of an endless amount of people putting their effort, and often their lives, into improving society. This fight never ends.

That head grab before the kiss though. Looks like he is used to forcing these things.

Don’t tell the people fighting this about coal power plants and other things that actually fuck the environment and kill us.

So many corporate cock gobblers commenting on this topic.

Parasites like Meta infiltrated our society, did their damn best to become a monopoly, currently steal from smaller businesses, lost personal data from shitloads of people, makes you their product, and even fueled instability in entire countries. Then people wonder why a government wants to use it to perhaps save a few more lives. It’s not like Meta is a company deserving of goodwill, so are you people getting a cent for this PR work or are you just suckers?

Because communist societies did better?

Maybe it’s time to admit that the biggest flaw in our systems is human nature.

We have been shown over and over that investors will take profits during good times, build no resilience to handle disasters, invest the bare minimum back into infrastructure and jobs, drain the companies until bankruptcy arrives and taxpayers are left with the bill.

This could work with proper regulation. But regulation can be corrupted. Money corrupts. This industry involves lots of money. And so here we are.

When Jeremy Corbyn proposed to buy back utility companies here shortly before the energy crisis, people looked at him like a lunatic.

Though there’s no such thing as reverse discrimination. It’s just good, old discrimination.

Hard to take you seriously when you start your post misinterpreting my post to such an extent. The sun doesn’t produce electricity. The electricity we get from the sun is very much a limited supply. I’ll just assume the rest of your post is pointless to read.

There are many arguments to be made here but this isn’t one. The money can have conditions attached to it. For example, give an amount now and agree to some target being reached within 6 months and so on.

Didn’t expect the current government to get something right. The funny thing about the right is that they at least support nuclear. Probably for the wrong reasons.

People are too optimistic about renewables. The world has a limited supply and if the richer countries keep competing over it when will the poorer nations ever get the chance to ditch their coal and oil?

How many countries have invested into production vs just out buying the poorer countries?

The intermediate solution to our problems will be a mix of nuclear and renewables. Being so against nuclear despite our massive issues with climate is a nice gamble people take on other people’s future.

We are both far from meeting current electricity demand even in the richest nations and switching away from oil in transport. We need multiple solutions. And as we have seen from the current energy crisis in Europe, no government or population is willing to have a discontinuous energy supply, something common in most renewables.

Well, there has been an exodus and I assume a lot of those who stayed can’t afford electronics. I’m gonna guess all this energy has just gone unused.

It’s just so weird how Bolsonara’s supporters use it as an accusation that Lula is turning Brazil into Venezuela. It’s mental. How can people be such dumb mofos?
