The current president has payed lip service to reshoring and revitalizing domestic industry but what have the results been? There's been no significant antitrust actions or a focus on white-collar crimes. These are critical in stoppin

I think a big part of it is that the admission that offshoring was a bad idea that has created a threat to American hegemony would require acknowledgement that neoliberalism has been an abject failure and a ruse by the upper class to suck u

When you say 'those exist as well' you seem to be implying that they are ready to use technology that has been thoroughly tested end to end and all the bugs worked out, but that isn't the case. We're still a decade or tw

How do artificial sperm and eggs mean no legal record of birth and no parents ware of conception? Don't you need an artificial womb for that?

Salary is only part of the equation. Offshore oil rigs deal in billions of dollars worth of hydrocarbons per day. The revenues make it feasible to offer high salaries and still generate massive returns. Many rural locations just aren't

Or there are some locations where markets just breakdown because the environmental factors overwhelm whatever salaries you offer.

It's true that the example of George Washington is extraordinary not just in American history but globally. I think however that focusing solely on American presidents, or only those who were explicitly offered absolute power constrai

Or it shows us that it's relatively rare that someone gets the opportunity to pass up power in this sort of fashion. More often what happens is that leaders make small and often imperceptible choices to not amass more power over time,

There are many remarkable leaders throughout history and around the world who have done the best that they could for the people they found themselves leading lead and did so for noble reasons and not because they felt like they were better

I understand the concern about exploitation, but there’s a fine line between protection and paternalism. Just because some people overwork themselves doesn’t mean everyone else should be forbidden from choosing to work more and it isn'

> Working that much is very unhealthy so the state needs to protect people from being exploited. I get that the state needs to protect people from being exploited but I'm not sure this is the right way to go about it. It seems to me

Yes. It's the same with wage theft. Wage theft vastly outstrips other forms of theft[0] and it's considered a complete non priority by law enforcement, politicians, and the media. These kinds of things just aren't a priority

Really? Like, in Germany it's illegal for someone to have a full-time job doing software and then a side business making soap and selling it at a farmer's market on the weekend? That's... peculiar.

Lol did you see the George Foreman obituary from the other month? Or the one about Val Kilmer? Posts about science funding cuts are frequently flagged and remain so though.

Do you think that humans will ever colonize other bodies in the solar system, or build large scale artificial habitats that house hundreds of thousands of people? If so, when do you think this will start to occur? 50 years from now? 100?

White collar crime is very much a real thing and some of the most successful organizations got that way because they broke the law. We don't live in a meritocracy and nice guys finish last. That's just how things are.

What's worth mining in space? Everything that we can mine in space. That seems glib but I'll elaborate. By moving mining off planet to the moon and asteroids we eliminate the carbon emissions and environmental damage that occurs

Even better than carbon use an ablative made out of olivine that can sequester CO2 as it ablates. That way by offloading mining and refining into space to prevent the damage that these activities incur on earth you're also undoing dama

So in other words you feel that society as a whole should pay the cost of reparations to slavers? If that's the case, why do you feel that society as a whole should do so but shouldn't bear the cost of reparations to the descenden
