The technology is available now. Tesla satisfies the high-end. Leafs and Bolts satisfy the mid-range. Chinese econo-boxes for the low-end. 2035 is too far out. This could have been implemented 2025.

What will have to give is the welfare state. Difficult to see how a retirement age in the early 60's is sustainable given this level of inflation. Better to abandon pensions entirely and just offer disability stipends for those who can

Seems logical for China to just fund political parties and DEI initiatives. Cheaper than building a blue-water navy.

Drag Coefficient of .35 (vs Model 3 of .23) and a whole bunch of extra weight for this crap is likely to result in very poor range. Why are legacy auto makers wasting time on this sort of stuff?

Fat goes rancid. Sugar is shelf stable and preservative. Nutrition is not guided by fads, but by food manufacturer and retailer profit margins.

Phone hardware and telecommunications networks have only recently been powerful enough to support a TikTok-like social network. Video wouldn't have worked in 2015 in an era of 3G/4G phones and 4 inch iPhone 5's.

Electricity can run heat pumps which are great for heating. Even better if its a water-to-ground loop underneath the building, if there is no existing district heating system.

Electric pressure cookers are the key to encouraging home cooking. I just throw in Chicken Thighs, Rice, Frozen Vegetables. Add water. Set for 7 minutes. Come back to several servings of perfectly cooked food. Add things like peanut sauce a

We should not surrender language to political forces. What started with 'Blacklist' is now 'Recession' 'Vaccine' 'Woman'. Read Orwell.

A filter for Pressure Cookers, adjustable by size, would be great. Since buying a non-stick electric pressure cooker, I've gone from 95% takeout 5% cooking to the reverse. So incredibly easy to throw ingredients in and come back to mul

Banning Proof of Work cryptocurrencies from being traded on licensed exchanges would achieve the same improvement of chip availability, as well as saving a huge amount of electricity, for $0. I guess sensible measures like this don't b

Easiest way to increase labor supply is to immediately increase the retirement age to 70. Welfare and retirement systems across the West are insolvent at current settings anyway.

Better that excess demand is captured by the manufacturer, which can be reinvested into manufacturing, than the dealer. I far prefer the transparent pricing of Tesla, and its now the only manufacturer I'd consider buying from in the US

Bulgaria is overall best in Europe, but the language is difficult (Cyrillic) and international English schools are very expensive.

50% of healthcare resources are used in the final 5 years of life. As Western populations age, expect healthcare to be increasingly squeezed. Australia seems to have the best approach - everyone has access to basic services, but those who c

Deport all illegal immigrants across the West, and increase standards for legal immigration. Aim for steady-state population levels, and immigration exchange only with similarly-developed nations. Right now we are trading housing (and food,

Fortunately all of this is eliminated with EVs: much less brake dust (regenerative braking), no combustion, no catalytic converters, no oil leaks. All that's left is tire wear, potentially a little higher due to increased typical weigh

Base Model 3: 57.5 kWh battery. In California, charging at 40c/kWh during the day and discharging at 85c/kWh (for evening peak) would yield about $23 daily - or $8,400 annually. Most Tesla's retain above 90% battery capacity
