Not the country's fault but Chinese companies definitely should take back the waste. They produced it in the first place. If not, they should not be allowed to sell.

It could be a $6.5M answer. A rich family saw a lot of value in spending that much to send their child to Stanford. Not sure if it was for a MBA though.

You need to breed out intelligence in humans. Because that comes with boredom etc. Its also why we're not farming any intelligent animals. Hunting them ie dolphins, etc doesn't count because the process cannot be industrialised un

Consumers still see $100 net pre and post tax. That's why I think the rebates are flawed.

by Joakal 7y ago
Lets say it cost consumers $100. After Carbon tax, company gets $20 tax. Price becomes $120. Government says to consumer, here's $20. Consumer and company see no difference. Government cost goes up to maintain the scheme. This is why p

Just like any negative effect; It's influencers who get paid to spread anti-vaccination beliefs even if they don't believe it. See: far right/left, and other unusual controversial topics.

Not really that simple. Have to ensure correct taxation and collection of $2 bottle. The tax could also be misused (what, you think it would go 100% to disposing?) It would be simpler to make producers take back non recyclable/biodegra

They didn't kill them. They went through a government change, a revolution where they were experienced in fighting, not farming. The alternative was living under the old government that they hated. It's like in Zimbabwe, they kick

USA democratic system is one step away from China's one party system: it's a two party system in USA which hasn't changed much for centuries. Europe, Australia, etc, have more than two parties in government. More choice, more

Humans didn't really destroy the planet until the industrial revolution. Also, if there's too many dolphins, there's starvation. Storing food would see them through.

Farming allows focus on other activities such as tech development. They can paint in the sand that easily disappears? I'm talking about permanent pieces of art tho. The point of understanding dolphins is so that they communicate in tru

Lets assume dolphins are the smartest creatures on the planet. How would they build an aqua farm? They can only hunt (or fish) How could they paint? They can only nudge. How could they do sign language? They can only squeak and flap. They&#

Cross-border murders and crime would rise is my first thought. The standard of living is high and so is the cost. There's people arriving without jobs. So with no money, how do you think they will survive?

In Australia, there are company registered cars. If it runs a speed camera, the company must either pay a lot or cough up the "guilty" party who would pay less but get demerits too. The Australian solution to Hertz is give out com

I like nuclear power. But as you point out, human "error" is why I'm against it. It was not even human error for Fukushima, they had ignored experts because the solution would hit the company's bottom line. So the soluti

What's the difference between left and right? The old definition was about republic vs monarchy. Now everyone keeps using those labels. Conservative? Right wing. Socially conservative? Right wing. Economically conservative. Left wing.

Simple solution, provide a bond as condition to start. But it won't get implemented, why? It would be in many billions because the bond needs to cover clean up costs, etc. Companies want this risk to be borne by government and indirect

Yes. Burn it inside building and capture CO2. As it stands, the gas waste is externalised. Imagine if nuclear reactors were allowed to dump waste in air/river.

High risk, high reward. Drug lords offer wealth, rich, or just a job, etc. Look at people doing lottery, etc. Poor uneducated people tend to do it. If people are more educated, they will tend to avoid unnecessary risks (in part because stab

I gather it could be indefinite detention. Say 5 hour detention then they ask again. Then detention again. Repeat. I think a couple days is good enough because people will miss holidays, work, plans etc. That's Western nations "to

It's a good business decision to save billions with a few millions. I question whether any democracy system is able to handle this.
