Yes, that sounds great! I love my iPhone and air conditioning. Don't you? Will you be the first to go volunteer to back to the stone ages? I didn't think so.

People have been saying the climate is going to fall apart and kill us all for the past 30 years. It's time for a new approach.

Our expanding economies and improving quality of life depend on young people and a growing population. So it brings up an interesting question. In 20 years, will countries start to compete for young people? Tax breaks, benefits, etc. Will s

That would be true if the money spent was actually optimized on output rather than expensive contractors, consultants, and third party profits. :(

Some of these farms are truly impressive. Although balancing the health of the fjords is hard. People seem to prefer "wild" salmon but just like we don't eat "wild" cow anymore, I imagine in 30+ years it will be the

Imagine seeing a comment you disagree with and find the urge to dig into someone's history and try to tar and feather them. Do better.

Insane? Please stay on topic and avoid personal attacks. Disagreement is not insane. Believe it or not, not everyone who disagrees with you is some paid shill. Like... really? Hilarious. Grow up.

> Hold management accountable to promises made to staff This is just silly. Management are the most accountable people in any organization. This makes no sense.

Handwavy. Voluntary recognition is just that, voluntary. Opposing is not inherently evil so I'm not sure what this whole thing is even about.

Sorry, I don't need collective action to tell me what soda to buy, or what beverage to consume. What a silly notion. I take action myself to moderate my soda intake all the time. Your assertion that this is not possible is simply absur

Comparing soda to cigarettes is ridiculous. People like soda, and in moderation, it is completely fine. There is no reason to single out sugary sodas to try to "solve" obesity. It is a consumer problem, not a product problem.

Again, what is the benefit exactly? Avoiding hurt feelings? Are people's skins that thin? You cannot enforce this one way and not the other. Interviewing and hiring and managing a company takes a lot of time. What if a candidate "

The Sheetz lawsuit is absolutely nonsense the more you read into it. Absolutely ridiculous position to take with no valid claim to "racism" at all. Mandates and quotas are not the solution and always backfire.

What a sad situation for those families, and kids, to be in. These buildings are not designed to be livable with just passive cooling, it seems. Why does the UK have such an aversion to AC? Also, why are homeless people being put up in luxu

The EU has tons of regulations on this stuff and we see what "innovation" they have. No thanks. Relationship? There is no relationship. It is a business transaction. Both parties are free to leave at any point.

I spent a lot of time thinking about this, actually. If this silly idea became law, companies would find some lawyer-approved boilerplate that would satisfy the silly law and accomplish nothing. Nothing would change. I guess you would say t

Lines for goods and services are for the USSR. We know better now. Price is a much, much better way to ration goods. The poor have less time than the rich, so making people wait in line is not actually more "fair" or "just&qu

Making this "illegal" does not solve the problem at all. People really need to stop providing this knee jerk outlawing reaction to things they don't like. I assume you'd also make it illegal for a person to turn down a c

"Higher prices for everyone" is not the argument, though. The article is about supporting the construction of market-rate housing as a relief in the market. More and more, the evidence for this argument has been proven valid. You

I think some parts of Vienna there is a 2 year waitlist for a spot. Because if you can't ration via price, the only other way is via time.

Nope. Just opposed to climate alarmism that has simple not worked over the past 20 years. In fact it's done more harm than good.

What data are you referencing that proves this? There is nothing inherent about degree X that makes someone less gullible. In fact, many college campuses are insulated echo chambers that do the exact opposite.

Whether the US can make "gloves" is actually less interesting than whether the US even has the technical ability, infrastructure, and knowledge to spin up a glove factory in an emergency. Just like drones, batter tech, etc. Anothe

Well, for the most part this is actually true. Taking care of the exceptions is the hard part. Also, "climate catastrophe" is not a thing.

Any best on if they will just re-release this under the radar once the press attention dies down? Zuck isn't spending billions to just not release this stuff.
