It’s an extreme example to point out that what’s useful energy use for someone isn’t for someone else. Who will decide? You might not like the result when we go down this path.

You are okay with the state deciding you can only watch 30 mins of TV per day and 30 min of playstation? You seem to think once we decide what is useful energy use and what is not, only the things you deem not useful will be affected.

Which boils down to an entity in charge of deciding what is useful energy use and what is not. Do you want to live in a world like that? I don’t. Why is the green solution to everything more prohibition and rules? What happened to believin

It’s (the start of hyper)inflation, plain and simple. Almost a fifth of all circulating dollars were created in 2020. And they keep printing money.. The dollar lost a lot of value and we see it first in asset prices, soon the real economy w

The next war will be fought with AI. It's essential the West stays ahead in chip technology, one of the few advantages we still have. It could be the difference between winning or losing a war with China. > tangling their economy up

When other people say someone can’t do something because of their skin color, that is racism. The idea that whites are more racist than other races is also racist. It’s an idea not based on facts but on feelings.

Wow. Just wow. It’s really scary when people think like this. It sounds like a fascist dystopia I want no part of. Do you realize you’re advocating genocide in the name of social justice?
