Maybe just sabotage some federal aspirations but also did a lot to enhance and enlarge the free market aspects. What did France meaningfully contribute so we have a baseline for comparison?

You aren’t privy to what goes on in their heads, so you can’t really say either way.

The building you're in was probably much cheaper to build. The trade-off between efficient thermal regulation and margins was made quite consciously, I'd guess.

The opposite of the ad hominem also applies. Why is she eminently qualified to provide the correct answer to this particular problem?

Well, perhaps two of the biggest political changes to influence these trends are the elections of Trump and Bolsonaro, so perhaps I'm right about the power of politics, just in the wrong direction :)

To turn your point on its head, I'd say the trick is to come up with a stronger political signal than just voting. Fridays for Future and Extinction Rebellion are examples of such things - I think there's scope for much more acros

It's not the only solution but it's the best one. I'm not abrogating responsibility, but actually saying that if we all put the same effort into cohesive non-partisan political action, we'd get a lot more achieved in a s

I'm not arguing the validity of each point but the ranked priority of what has the biggest effect and what is needed to achieve improvement. I'd ask you to go through each point and calculate the impact at a likely scale of partic

I believe climate change poses an existential threat to us right now but I don't see things like this list helping. The best thing for anyone to do is to support/organise direct political action to change our actions at a global s

A more accurate title would be “reforestation for carbon offsetting hasn’t worked so far”. I dislike this title because it implies the idea is flawed, when it’s the implementation. Maybe it is unworkable given human nature but that’s someth

We're now living in a widely recognised mass extinction event, and many species of whales have gone extinct, or are highly endangered. I don't think we solved that one...

You're not the first person to be in this position, and there are ways out. My advice is to find something that pitches a career change to organisations. For example, take a short period of study, and then in your applications say some

You don't say where you are located, or why interviewing is a distraction. Without these bits of information, it's hard to give you specific advice. I'd say that avoiding interviewing entirely is unrealistic. You will always

This is a strawman. We're talking about replicating all of the abilities of a driver in all of the conditions they're supposed to operate in with approximately the same kind of performance. When we get to that point, then we can c

Why is it any less natural than a vinyl album in the first place? For example the concept of A and B sides is simply because there are two sides to a vinyl record. I don't know much about the evolution of albums but I assume it's

In the UK, anytime before the late 90s. I can't find the statistic, but I remember reading that in the 80s, less than 1000 people lived in the city centre. Contrast that with the numbers now: https://www.centreforcities.org&
