It means it’s not as simple as saying 1950 home = 2023 home and therefore any differences in price are due to inflation.

Who are the companies then reselling the houses to?

It’s embarrassing you’re an accountant and yet indulge in conspiratorial thinking. I’ve worked in and audited small, medium and large companies. Public companies have the strictest controls around personal spending of company resources. All public companies have to comply with SOX. I’ve never seen a private company voluntarily comply with that standard.

It’s pretty funny- worth seeing. Definitely amps up the ridiculousness in a way that I don’t remember Mean Girls being, but it’s in the same ballpark. Honestly maybe closer to Superbad.

It’s an estimate of premature deaths based on CO2 emissions.

"Pearce and Parncutt found the peer-reviewed literature on the human mortality costs of carbon emissions converged on the “1,000-ton rule,” which is an estimate that one future premature death is caused every time approximately 1,000 tons of fossil carbon are burned.

“Energy numbers like megawatts mean something to energy engineers like me, but not to most people. Similarly, when climate scientists talk about parts per million of carbon dioxide, that doesn’t mean anything to most people. A few degrees of average temperature rise are not intuitive either. Body count, however, is something we all understand,” said Pearce, a Western Engineering and Ivey Business School professor.

“If you take the scientific consensus of the 1,000-ton rule seriously, and run the numbers, anthropogenic global warming equates to a billion premature dead bodies over the next century. Obviously, we have to act. And we have to act fast.”"

I think there is going to be a greater push for KYC for social media as we are going to soon be inundated with comments and online activity by bots that is indistinguishable from humans and hyper taylored to its audience. All the stuff Russia pulled with election interference is going to be child’s play.

There is also going to be an explosion of content. The same recipe page that took a human a day or two to create will be made in a second. Billions of recipe pages, billions of sports blogs, billions of comments…

“Rather than teasing apart who, what, or when is to blame, this report shows that the post-9/11 wars are implicated in many kinds of deaths, making clear that the impacts of war’s ongoing violence are so vast and complex that they are unquantifiable.”

Did this writer or anyone in this thread actually read the paper?

I’m thinking it means workers of that time would not have that physique.

Even if it’s nationalized we still want energy generation as low cost as possible so we can use the national budget for other things.

I straight up live in a different world from this comment and OP. That sounds like a door to door hour long errand run - max.
