What about planting trees to offset carbon? When does an artificial forest start to count as Geo engineering?

Some of us are immune. I have no idea why other than I got it from my mother, who has really bad allergies.

This isn’t about you being correct, if that was the case you would focus on your argument instead of giving an empty retort. I suspect this is your attempt to control the conversation. What is your intention with letting us know your motivation is to be perceived as being correct?

“We want him to act like a hegemon and purge people based on ideology instead of what they have done.”

Go read “Leadership and the Rise of Great Powers”, written by a member of the CCP to better understand what kind of leader Mamdani is vs the kind you are asking for and the consequences there of.

I read it and still share the same response. You expect him to say he will not hire someone to coordinate trash pickup based on their foreign policies? Lol okay.

What is it with magicians and Epstein, there’s also David Copperfield

Yes it’s a proxy war. Doesn’t mean you should go around “liberating” your neighbors by folding them into your own territory.

The part about robots doing backflips causes the robot to wear down faster has me thinking the whole “replace humans with humanoids” should be framed as comparative advantage rather than how many robots would be required to build itself. Given the number of humanoids required to replicate itself, you could take those same complex parts, rearrange them into non-humanoid configurations and have more output both in an interval of time and over the life time of those parts.

I wonder what they’ll name that nuclear disaster after…

I’m suggesting that the choice between industrialization and skilled labor is a false one because China is industrialized and has a highly skilled labor force. I agree this is because of American owners seeking profit, but it seems the same won’t happen to China now that they’re industrialized.

We tax things that aren’t money all the time, see property taxes.

It’s also worth mentioning Gates has made our public education system worse by introducing us to the voucher system. Billionaires are part of why we don’t spend our tax dollars on things like universal healthcare or free college.

I pay property taxes based on the value of my home, but what home is worth billions?

Deskilling blue collar labor is how America gave China a manufacturing edge. What do you think will be the result of deskilling white collar labor?

We don’t don’t need princes or kings doing PR. If we taxed billionaires out of existence we could find that and so much more. This guy doesn’t get to make up for whatever he was doing on Epstein’s plane, at least not without coming clean first.

Here’s a question: why don’t you take their advice seriously instead of being so sensitive to their manners?

And they know what they want because they tell us

Sorry but my spine only lets me punch down.

Only disagree on how much they suck. There are many more reasons why they lost.
