Modern vehicles beep like crazy with sensors when something is in front of the car like that though. It is impossible not to know.

Why does an suv not have visibility in front of it?

I agree those are differences. I don't agree that the source of the valuation of these goods has anything to do with the differences you listed.

Lots of countries have capital controls that make it hard to get access to dollars. Especially countries with high inflation. Why are you talking about usdt? The price of usdt has always been the same as usd and no one is forced to use usdt

Why do you think crypto enthusiasts are net negative on crypto? It is a zero sum game so there are obviously winners, just like the stock market. So what hard lesson do you think the winners are learning exactly?

Or is it for having your money retain value in a country with high inflation and/or bad economic conditions and capital controls?

Ok I'll do this one more time with you. Solar output has been decreasing as global temperatures increase. Over 20 years ago scientists weren't just predicting temperature increase, but also making a wild prediction that global tem

sigh. You can see the global temperatures rising. Wildfires in Canada were out of control this year. Last year it happened in Australia. These temperatures and this level of fires aren't normal occurrences. https://www.clima

I know you think this is some big gotcha that indicts the entire concept of climate change, but it is really just you desperately finding some factoid that backs up your idea where you can't see the forest for the trees. The climate is

No serious person is asking for you to personally cut your carbon footprint through individual action. That won't work and is a waste of energy. We need to be working to make green energy cheaper than fossil fuels, make electric cars c

It is easier than passing laws that are economic carrots to promote electrifying cars and building new green energy sources of power? No. It clearly isn't and will just become a culture war issue that doesn't even matter.

It is low hanging fruit to get every country in the world to agree to outlaw private jet travel!? How ridiculous. The US can't even pass basic legislation to stop schools from getting shot up once a week, but this is low hanging fruit?

500m is a lot of time even evolutionarily. Dinosaurs were around 245m-66m years ago. There very well may be another animal/civilization in the next 500m years that has a decent shot at escaping from earth.
