Munger clearly understands the real suffering crippling debt causes and seems to be trying to move the needle on that front.

I’ve worked in such a room/rooms for most of my professional career (20 years now). It seriously makes zero difference. When you need fresh air you simply get up and go for a walk. People work in submarines for 6 months at a time. H

A private room for a reasonable price in the world’s most desirable climate that a student can just go walk to on a lark. Why don’t we just send them to a super max! Munger is an awful person for trying to help students get an education wi

>See Munger's dorm buildings that he pushed upon universities that make prisons look like hotels. Do you mean the highest rated campus housing on University of Michigans campus? Yeah. He sure victimized students there.

Buildings like this have sprinklers, automated firewalls, multiple exit routes, redundant alarm systems etc. Lots of off campus student housing is still knob and tube wiring in shoddy timber construction.

Santa Barbara is one of the most expensive real estate markets in the world. Therefore students should not have housing.

This is such an absurd criticism. People attending UC Santa Barbara live in literally the most desirable climate in the world. When they want natural light all they have to do is _go_out_side_.

Has atmospheric co2 injection been proven safe? Because we are doing that by the tanker load already.

Lithium mines are hard to build (capital intensive, permitting, water availability), and there aren’t enough to satisfy demand.

I don't understood why plugin hybrids aren't more popular. The Toyota Prius prime is like a 'just take my money' car for me. My commute would be all electric... but I can still use gas if need be. Best of all worlds.

Point of sale, like every other taxed commodity. Asking corporations to track their supply chain for their carbon usage is a complete waste of time. All the information a firm needs is already reflected in the price of its goods/servi

We tax road fuel as a proxy for road usage; it’s mostly a use tax. Use taxes are nearly optimal policy. Carbon taxes (Pigouvian taxes) are a solution to the problem of pricing externalities by incentivizing alternatives. The tax creates a

There is a very large body of evidence that demonstrates consumers are unwilling to pay higher prices for environmental benefits. The entire premise of Pigouvian taxes is that they force consumers to pay the external cost, not let them opti

Get a Kardia 6 leed ecg device (around 150 USD). They even have one that fits in your wallet. Heart rate is not enough. You need to look at the QRS and P wave via ECG.
