   So there's a tradeoff. Are you saying you would rather live in a high crime state, with tech founders being stabbed to death, than let them have their way?

   Detriot was once the richest city per capita in the US, in the 1950s. It is now the second poorest city per capita in the US, an actual wasteland. SF seems to be headed in a similar direction. It's because the people that live there si

   "no wonder you're a billionaire, kids who grew up in your zip code have a median income of $40k" What a dumb argument.

    don't worry guys, the interest rate increases necessitated by elevated inflation will eliminate a tremendous amount of affluence, and we can all sit together in the mud.

    I don't know why you are listing examples of droughts, unless you interpreted my statement that global increased precipitation would seem to imply less severe droughts globally, as a statement that droughts will no longer exist. This w

    Have never heard of a groundwater well? The ground collects water! It's orders of magnitude cheaper than desalination!! https://media.istockphoto.com/photos/modern-water-well-diagr...

    Amazing! I wonder how much this rules out the espionage, or the connection to Jo Thomson though. I wonder if she sold him the poison or something. In any case, I am morbidly fascinated by stories of people dying alone, without children, and
