You seem to have a unique perspective based on your comment history. Could you explain why or why not you see F/G as monopolistic forces? I have no opinion on the matter, but I'm trying to understand.

Ignorant? It's a well known fact that European tech salaries (especially SWE salaries) are dwarfed by American/SV salaries. Just look up the difference in what GOOGLE pays its American vs EU employees. This doesn't even take

Seems like a fad to me. I wonder if/when Instagram will replicate the lip-syncing feature. I personally am not attracted to the app at all and find the videos pretty toe-curling. But I'm curious to see how far it goes. Another tho

I'm sure they got acquired for cents on the dollar. Stupid, far-fetched idea. Asteroid mining will always be a pop-sci topic. Most asteroids appear to be composed of base metals which we have no trouble finding on Earth.

I don't know why you insist on a choice being "hard". What matters is the outcome. Taking billions of dollars out of foreign FF stocks has a good outcome for the environment and leads the way for even more to be taken out. Th

I though you were talking about the legalization of MJ, not specifically Medical MJ. Looking at the parent, you specified medical MJ, so I misinterpreted. Apologies on my end.

You don't understand what you are talking about. EKC works with pollutants that have short term, acute consequences. Think sulfates, nitrates, carbon monoxide, etc. EKC has not been proven true with pollutants whose effects are less co

Yeah, I know some. I said "tendency" for a reason. People in this thread seem to think I said "every and without exception".
