This article says (5 tonnes/yr) per GW produced. It's a fusion reactor, so it's making electricity, not consuming it.

At $0.05/kWh, 1 GWh of electricity is $438 million. At $3400/troy ounce, 5 tonnes of gold is $545 million. So that jives with the company's estimate on the article that the sale of gold could double their revenue.

All bunk, of course

Also the one where he was shopping at the supermarket (complaining about the number of options) and the one where he was looking for Hobbes in the woods in the "Yukon Ho!" storyline.

Without fail with posts like these, the recent history of the poster contains someone lightly critizing a hot take of theirs. Let's see if the pattern holds this time...

I'm still batting one thousand

Worse - agreeing with him, or saying it makes them like him better. It seems like an awful mix of edgelords and actual racists.

The job posting uses the word "obsess" twice - no frigging thank you

Unless I've misunderstood, what OP proposed is just increasing the tax rate of the existing system.

A progressive tax doesn't result in earning less for working harder; it's only the marginal income that's taxed at the higher rate. So a worker who goes from making $50,000 to $60,0000 only pays 15% tax on $10,000 and has a net take home increase of $8,500.

Thanks for the offer - I used to live in Philly, so have seen a few around. I stumbled on my first while walking through a sketchy part of Port Richmond.

I would not have guessed that source of your name - after reading the Toynbee tiles Wikipedia page I would have guessed the historian, Bradbury story, or Clarke story.

It was the Toynbee tile connection for me. Something that I look for while traveling.
