We could easily build apartments on the coast in CA and then non multi millionaires might be able to live there. We have decided that only multimillionaires deserve to own a coastal house by restricting zoning in the coast so heavily

For example, the Netherlands are currently pouring cement down their oil derricks to try and prevent a future government from re opening them, over absurdly minor earthquakes, despite the energy crisis.

The DOD keeps extreme control over their supply chain. For many things it requires specific approval to be in the supply chain in the first place

The issue is continuous heatwaves, when you either buy ac or start to die. No passive cooling can help you when the nights stay hot

The US could carpet bomb their enemies like they did in WW2, instead they pursue one of the lowest civilian casualty methods of in the history of the world, and nobody even cares because somehow that’s not good enough

The point is the DoD is telling its suppliers not to use it because the supplier of your supplier is your supplier. That’s what this does

In fact, sometimes when your game lags too much you can speed it up by zooming in! (Only in some cases)

Property is literally a wealth tax on an asset that can’t move away

I don’t even trust California to remember where they put these solar panels

Only the yield matters. The grades are just too low in some earthbound deposits for them to be dug

Automating trains would let LIRR run trains more often because they aren’t having to pay 2-3x median income for someone who does little on each train

It would be better for society to pay these people to do nothing while we run more trains automatically.

All US passenger rail runs off of massive state subsidies. The absurd pay is the taxpayers money.

Automated trains have been around for nearly 40 years.

I want automate trains because they would make running trains more often possible

I think you’ve made reasonable points. I think of it like this: the US was already firebombing Tokyo which was actually much worse than the nukes, they did likely see it as a continuation of the existing firebombing campaign

There used to be no such thing as a woodworker. It used to be a number of different professions, such as the jointer, the cabinet maker, the planer, etc. now with modern tools it’s merged into one job
