Eh. People living somewhere shouldn’t be a burden for infrastructure and eminent domain should be used much more commonly for building things like passenger rail. That said Pumped Hydro, and hydro electricity have huge ecological footprints and really shouldn’t be used anymore. I can only assume that they reason they wanted to build it was some perverse incentive created by the Biden or Obama administration.
It’s a systemic issue with Waymo and any all the taxi “disruptors.” Choices are made to put people in danger in order to extract profit by using cars AT ALL that is the problem, not who or what is operating them. Technology jesus isn’t going to save grandma.
Even in a full-communism-now utopia, the idea of compensating people for their creative endeavers and labor is still going to happen, that compensation will be indistinguishable from “money” as it is currently used.
Maybe we will lose low effort artists but gain great music by passionate people.
You’ll never be able to find it or hear it though. The barrier to entry for AI music is so low, even lower then the “low-effort” artist you are deriding, that typical streaming sites will be inundated by it and nothing else will be found. The algorithm™ already prefers low-royalty music, and AI music will certainly have the lowest costs to play.
We do already, but instead of a pardon, we just don’t prosecute them. The purpose of a pardon is when you have an overzealous justice department, it allows the executive branch the ability to legally slap their hand.
Delta8 is shit quasi-leagal substances that aren’t the same as actual Cannabis. It’s stuff that should “probably” be illegal, but that isn’t why it was included in this bill. It’s a just a backdoor ban for legal weed.
Are you under the impression that the US Government and electoral system represents its citizens?
I don’t believe in imaginary property.
Rather then launching millions of tons of satellites, maybe the government could try regulating emissions? You know, remove cars, fossil fuel usage, create passenger rail etc? Improve society instead of doing literally the opposite?
I don’t think you should let Nazi’s win the war of language.
Ooo A misanthrope, very original. Here is a cool org for you https://vhemt.org/
I’m not sure I trust the kind of person who was perfectly fine with robotaxi’s until an animal was killed. Seems they don’t’ really have a good grasp on the problems of a car-centric society of which road-kill is a very minor one.
Yea you seem to really hate birds and rodents.
I participate in all elections and encourage others to as well. I compromise by voting for democratic socialists in the worst case scenario, but otherwise will vote for whatever socialist candidates are on the ballot.
I just read your comments.
I don’t understand how this happened? Surely voting for the lesser of two evils will eventually somehow stop evil right?
It’s ok to be a pedo almost everywhere as long as you have achieved a specific status. I’m not aware of any currently existing government that applies their laws fairly to their leadership and relations there-of.
The only proper way to get rid of royalty is guillotines. Which I 100% support btw.
The US produces a lot of chips, they just aren’t the consumer market leader. The US also prototypes the revolutionary new processes, i.e. 65nm-> 20nm -> …-> 5nm -> 3nm processes all started in the US. But once the process has been proofed, and it’s time for volume they send it to Israel or Taiwan to be mass produced because it’s cheaper and for no other reason.
The common topological targets of eminent domain are problematic and obviously someone like Robert Moses was giving extreme reverence to the rich. But regardless of who was damaged by his eminent domain details, the value that it added for everyone was enormously positive, and would have been even greater were he not a racist. I’m specifically talking about his parks and railroads as detailed in the Power Broker.
The legal method he was able to leverage to build infrastructure should be excercised more broadly vs land-trusts, and holding companies like america’s ancient rail barons. Though you don’t even need to go that far. Just use it to reclaim abandoned rail-lines + RoW. Yes it’s a payout to the railroad’s, but it’s an enormous resource through the heart of many cities. National rail expansion merged with amtrack? new parks, bike trails, etc etc. It could be used to revitalize the very neighborhoods that were most hurt by past abuses.
