It's pretty simple. There have been far fewer cases and deaths than in the US. As for the vaccine rollout, it is largely a function of the early success in controlling infections. The initial vaccine doses destined for Australia were d

It is not really a fair point to make, as it is really easy to search for numbers on this. https://www.energycouncil.com.au/analysis/evs-are-they-reall... Added to this is the fact it is certainly easier to clean up a

It amazes me how many naysayers are always on these threads about electric vehicles. It seems to me that the transition is inevitable. Slowly but surely electric cars are becoming cheaper and more capable. It is really hard to imagine that

It would be more of a fools errand to try and halt (or slow) the inevitable world-wide transition to electric cars. Japan were world leaders in electric drive trains with hybrids like the Prius. A perfect way to gracefully transition from I

It would be more helpful if you could explain which parts are untrue. A lot of it gels with what I have been hearing experts say I.e. the vaccine is great at reducing the severity of the symptoms/illness, but delta is spreading via the

That sounds really cool, I'll look for it on YouTube. Thanks for the recommendation. This play, in turn reminds me of a scene from a terrible (but at the same time fun) film Reign of Fire. Set in a post apocalyptic world, the adults ar

I've wanted to write a short story about this for a while, with this sort of technology. The story of Genesis before the truth is obfuscated by countless retellings, until it evolves into a supernatural origin story.

I too am in Australia, but 15 minute drive into a small town without a print shop. Perhaps Australia is a oddity, and most people/places worldwide do in fact have easy access to a local print shop, but I am guessing the grandparent is

Well the sooner countries can start to transition to an economy that is not reliant on perpetual population growth the better. I am always amazed at news reports from Japan about how the sky is falling because their population is shrinking.

I agree that Australia's economy is propped up by continued ion growth, a giant pyramid scheme if you'll excuse the hyperbole. However Australia has such a large amount of land, and such a small population that forecasted worldwi

There is no need to look for conspiracies. There is only 185k people living on the "big island". I'm not sure why people would expect something other than a rural America level of services, when it is really just a small city

This "gift economy" sounds someone trying to put a nobel spin on a debt based economy. I bet in many cases if someone got a reputation for not reciprocating "gifts" they'd soon find themselves not receiving anything
