I'm no expert, but I'd assume it's to make good on other trade negotiations the public isn't privy to. In regards to the like of the extra $9b free up for US exporters to Japan, mostly ag. Complete and utter hidden... on

I don't disagree with you. That last comment: "Some people are scared of money or behave irrationally with money. I've been to a few therapists that have high powered husbands or clients that illustrate just how irrational th

I agree. There's nothing wrong with people who do the unconventional and against "conventional wisdom" and "strike gold". At the same time, don't beat and blame people who do the conventional wisdom and succeed

There was a 30 Rock episode that poked fun at exactly what you're saying. American business practices are steering more and more towards "consuming and repackaging" rather than producing. Which, I don't think the interne

You kind of described the entire education system that generation-y was raised with. They think an "education" is enough to make you an expert in all things without needing experience. Hell, you get that here in HN. While being sm

I'll say I do detest those with MBAs, mostly due to my bias since I didn't go to college. But even I'm going to say you're making a rather absurd statement that's filled with delusional correlation. MBA programs are

That's the realistic standpoint on the situation. Things are "good", mind the quotes, with trains, buses and airplanes because their volume is soooooooo much lower compared to car travel. Once you ramp up their volume, proble

Yea, but you're not going to get a book shelf to your house using a bike. Or a lot of groceries for the family. If your 8-year breaks his arm, a car of some sort makes that easier to get to the hospital instead of waiting for an ambula

If the stars align and all is well, I will have a 10 to 20 acre homestead. I grow my own food. Chickens. Maybe some sheep and cows. I subsist on writing. Woodworking takes up a large chunk of my days and it's been so long since the las

Sorry for a bit off topic. But whoa... how much more hype does AI need? I was under the impression we're already at a high point.

Yes, yes, weather and climate are two different things. It's like the analogy between a dog and a person walking the dog. The dog (weather) might weave all around in different crazy directions, but the human (climate) is the path you s

Aye, but you also need to set a limit on such ideas. It's very easy for something like that to run away. Because you make it seem like a psyops reservist is out to persuade the public to goose step around. What if the ilks of Twitter b

One thing that flat-earthers have taught me this past few years, you absolutely can't cure stupid. There will always be stupid ass people on the planet. However, I do know rational people who don't believe in global warming. Mostl

So, do you believe the general public should create a list of past government employed individuals and ban them from accessing the job market? That completely has no chance, what so ever, to have any negative repercussions in time. But draw

That's the funny part to Christianity. You have the "Christians" that think "fuck the planet". But then you get the other side that believe we have to take care of the planet because it's a gift from God. Sadly

But in terms of climate change, that's not viable. It's literally a global effort to make change and the current discourse doesn't say anything about that. In my youth, don't waste water by much, every little bit counts

May I point something out? Bitcoin, for 2019, is another Denmark in CO2 production (34,730,000,000 kg this year alone) due to the amount of electricity it burns. This data compiled by digiconomist. https://digiconomist.net/b

Wouldn't you say though that "live for today" is a logical response to high amounts of insurmountable and uncertain fear? If you're an average person, what can you logically do to overcome the actions of governments and

Taking a look at the data, it's not that damning. Our upward swing really started in 1995 and hasn't increased since. 2005 was an outlying year, and the rest really aren't that much of a big deal. No real upward swing since 9

Correct me if I'm wrong. What happened in Alaska, that heat wave, was BEYOND normal. Not by a little, but by a lot. They crushed a whole bunch of heat records that week, right? Wouldn't that be the best poster child of global warm

To be fair to anyone that denies something, if they don't directly observe it, why should they believe it? Especially if they have to alter their day to day lives around that statement? The media makes contradictory sweeping claims tim

Big problem with that chart. Look where it ends. 2006. It looks like an upward trend. If you add the last decade it's missing, that trend won't exist. You know what, let put that together in BI really quick. I want to see if that

Okay, I do agree. But misinformation due to sloppy broad brush strokes does not help. At all. It fuels what you just said. It gives them "See, see! They're wrong about this! What do they know? They're just making stuff up for

The best info I can find, trees soak up ~45 pounds (tops) of CO2 in a full year after it's about 10 years old in optimal conditions. Different trees, different amounts along with growing conditions. That's just optimal hopes and d

I do agree, and I do agree about over population is a problem. But question, who must lower their birth rate? And how do you implement such a plan? How do you punish people that makes sense? That's a super tricky problem and can&#x27

On a practical standpoint, I don't think the article tackles the concept of forest management at all. Other than what's been going on the past few months, the Amazon doesn't see wildfires like the Pacific Northwest does. An A

While I do agree with you for the most part, theres a few things I think are worth taking away. First, there's no harm in the fact that we need to plant more trees. Would we ever achieve the amount needed as stated here? Hell no. But i
