Yes, there is a need for tariffs, based on worst cause estimates of pollution, for countries not playing along.

Anything but doing UBI, lol.

Yeah, there seems to be a lot of resistance to giving money, replace systems and taxing parts of UBI.

Reworking existing systems seems easier.

The goal of the war? Establishing Greater Israel. Netanyahu is really keen on the neighbor's land. Trump is just there as the muscle, barely know what's going on and just acts tough to protect his reputation with his flunkies.

They always weasel out of taxes. My idea was to give each person something like carbon coins that works like an emission permit. Give everyone the same amount each month and keep it within nature's limits. Then, if someone wants to do something polluting like run a datacenter, they'll just have to purchase the coins for that from the open market from those willing to sell. The end result is still money going to the poor but not as a tax, and hard limit on pollution.

How sad is it that a goofily angry man on the TV is a better parent than anon’s parents?

Some even say Star Trek TNG characters were their role models because it were the first adults actually acting as adults they were exposed to.

You see numbers like population reduced by 90% in the last x years. What's often forgotten that it was already reduced by 90% earlier, so actually only 1% is left. As illustrated here.

Maybe also block all hate speech and inflammatory language. It's a loving God after all. If that blocks most information from the right that's too bad.

You have to say quart instead of liter or they don't get it. It's close enough.

My boss also went hard on no private calls during work time. My colleague immediately switched his work phone off at 5pm sharp because not mixing private and work. Of course soon there was an issue at 5:30pm. It was amazing how that policy got reversed so quickly.

Install grapheneOS on your phone, and their MFA app doesn't want to run anymore.

It just means they have to write "mistakes" or "performance issues" on the paperwork instead of "replaced by robots"

to do their version of the Handmaids Tale

Other way around. Handmaid's Tale drew some of its inspiration from those states, mainly the historical slavery part.
