Finally a clown with more makeup than Ronald McDonald.

If a website sends all the data of an article to you, it’s yours. They can’t take it away. There’s no basis to make the argument anything is owed to the website at that point.

People look at the advertising for this shit (and future tech-bro shit) and wonder, “who is this for”? Remember E.L.O.N. Exaggerated Lies Overlooked Narratives

Think of every manager and boss you’ve ever had. They don’t think, they just do. Salesmen convince them using issues that don’t exist, to sell solutions that don’t really work, to people that don’t understand how to use them. Repeat over 70 years and you have the modern American education system.

Now things are different. Money is scarce, things are getting tight. Tech-Bros have changed from a mildly infuriating strategy, to a downright abusive one. These simple minded managers think everything is under attack, and the only solution is what they already have, but heavily monetized and completely unusable.

Zuck creating a safe-space for billionaire private jet owners on Meta isn’t something I ever thought I would read, but here we are.

Solar isn’t scalable, clean, or sustainable. The only real option is nuclear. Most of the benefits to solar come from countries involved in multiple genocides, territorial expansion, and diplomatic saber-rattling. It’s a neat toy for youtubers, but it’s no real solution.

Large scale solar farms have been a thing for decades. Large scale solar adoption is like wrestling with a hydra. The heads are Russia, China, and the middle east. Go nuclear, be the sun.

The materials needed for solar are very toxic, and hard to remove, we also need a lot of them. We get these from places like China and Russia cheap because they don’t mind their citizens dying so much as they make a profit. That cheapness is the cornerstone to every renewable project today. If we found ourselves in a position unable to trade with China/Russia, we would have to mine it in our own borders, poison our own land, water, and citizens. America could just return to it’s own petrol fields, but other countries would face serious challenges.

Nuclear is the way to go. If we can’t manage that we never had a shot as an intelligent race to begin with.

All true, but categorically the problem is growing much faster than the solution. It probably always will be unless it’s stopped from the source.

Subsidies keep the farms alive in the first place. It’s simply not profitable to grow anymore. We make so much it’s too cheap to sell. Therefore the volume required and the margins are so razor thin. It’s make a profit or be bough-out by a bigger company.
