People commonly use Dollars and Euros in those countries to store their cash. I have seen this first hand, especially in South America and there are advertisements for that everywhere. Where that is illegal, crypto is/can be also illeg

It‘s not a consequence but your imagination. Peak oil and global warming are actually opposites. You can‘t fix climate change and hope to find more oil. There‘s a big difference between perhaps not doing holidays in a place far away or even

No it isn‘t. The single most impactful one would be to not have kids. And let me make it clear that I‘m not saying to not have them. I’m just saying that there are different factors that contribute and how one person chooses to cut is their

Camus and Sartre would like a word. I prefer their worldview. By your own argument I don‘t even need to give a good reason. I‘m not able to give a good reason, I prefer their philosophy of being responsible based on your notion of not havin

Brooks and Knuth (fortunately still with us) are not only respected but also loved. I sometimes miss this in our field where sometimes success is valued more than a great mind and a great mind more than a lovable well-rounded person.
