Nope. Try France (since the 70's), Sweden, Switzerland, the UK. Germany is pumping out way more CO2 per capita than most of its neighbors.

'Kooky' seems a bit dismissive, especially as applied to thinkers of this caliber.

"That's clearly anti-materialist and has no basis in reality" ...so a point, a line, and a plane have no basis in reality. Poor Euclid. Poor Geometry students, wasting their time all those many generations.

After Charlottesville, I checked reddit conservative, which has a variety of conservative viewpoints, and found mostly what-aboutism. When I presented my own moderate Dem perspective, I was shouted down and then banned. 100% agree most cons

There need to be clear consequences, to serve as a deterrent. Having a functioning democracy is a core interest of the United States, so the consequences should be severe.

Re social trends, it depends on the issue. LGBQ issues, sure. But on climate, safety, many environmental issues, gender gap and income inequality, Germany is out ahead.

Maybe more specific examples would be useful. If my lungs are failing, my brain gets less oxygen, and functions differently. When my childen are hungry, they definitely behave differently, and I attribute the cause of that to their lack o

Dem here, but I haven't seen a whole lot of priority given by my party to opioids. Back pre-Trump there was much more attention being given to Transgender kids and sexual assault of college women. When people are despised and neglecte

Bcolz is interesting for its use of compression in both ram and disk. The ram compression is great when your data is just a little too big.
