Simply untrue. Do not change the definition of middle class. A single-wide prefab of real lumber for a family of three costs a year of wage or two for a high school graduate. Resourceful individuals can develop land cooperatives. Vacations

I agree that capitalism is not at its structural limit, I imagine within the next 50 years ideological descriptions of resource management (capitalism, communism, syndicalism, etc.) will begin disappearing in favor of something like "K

Probably all the germs you have heard about are different than when they were first characterized, more or less durable than as studies have shown, strictly transmissible through any pathway but practically limited in pathway, and dose-depe

You forget that repaying a loan for something like the postmodern conveniences of a University Science Education may be the wrong thing to do, especially given that the Universities generally don't require vocational training as part o

Metrics and chance are bad substitutes for tutelage. If a world values scholarship (which seems self-evident), then scholars should not be presented with obstacles. I'm not sure what the measure of a person's scholarship is, and i

It depends on the tables and physiology, because you need to safely oxygenate all the body's tissues with regular breathing at depth. He could probably dive [edit: said Nitrox, I'd learned non-air Nitrox increases maximum depth bu

To some extent the miner is the vanguard of your ability to discuss this on the internet. We can't run the grid on lumber or "energy crops," and all the other options (solar, wind, fracking, hydroelectric, geothermal) have ve

Labor-driven ideologies are poisonous, they require that you consider another person as useful, therefore exploitable, to some end not their own; then, to call some work positive, some negative, as the ideology sees fit. Instead, uselessnes
