Sustainable energy is heavily subsidised in Europe. Thanks to that we have 80% renewable energy production in Austria (and buy some non-renewable energy from other countries but still, we’re on a good way).

I’ll assume they mean the countries that currently support Ukraine

I was born with bad eyes. People back then also were born with bad eyes but couldn’t do anything about it.

Obviously you can also get bad eyes (shortsighted) when always only focusing on short distances but it’s not the only way. Most people also become far sighted when they get older (the pressure inside your eye lowers and therefore your eye becomes shorter)

The ultimate idea afaik is to build huge renewable energy power plants (for example solar energy in deserts) to generate it there, and then transport it through pipelines to wherever you need it.

Theoretically if this ideal state keeps going for long enough it’d reach a point where the economy becomes so strong that working hours can be reduced to miniscule amounts, with enough money left over to pay for people who can’t work (due to mentally or physically not being capable of anything that a machine can’t already do).

This can obviously not happen when increased productivity is only used to increase profits.

Why even increase profits when the company already was doing fine before? Oh right, because all other companies do that too and you have to stay competitive. And they have to stay competitive with companies from other countries too, so as long as there’s not peace between all countries there also can’t be economical peace, ending the hunt for higher profits and leading humanity to a bright future.

We all know that this will never happen.

make/work at

By this I mean that they either make a new one or work at an existing one. When no existing one needs workers ideally new ones should be made.

And I didn’t use ideally for no reason. I am well aware that this currently does not work well, I was talking about the concept.

Ideally the workers that aren’t needed anymore due to automation make / work at a new company, causing the economy to grow.

Those same jobs have to be done regardless of the economic system.

Society also needs stupid (or because of other reasons uneducated) people for the jobs noone else wants to do.

The Nazis did that, breeding blonde-haired blue-eyed people (mostly combining German men with I think Swedish women). Most of them were murdered after the war ended (despite only being innocent children), because people thought that 1. Nazis have to be mentally different and 2. same for women who “agree” to participate in this program, so they thought that of course the offsprings would “also” be mentally different/disabled.

When I’m hiking I only use my phone to take photos and to check the weather and maps (+ airplane mode when I’m not checking the weather). My Pixel 7 easily lasts half a week to a week with that usage.

I’m really hoping that XBus and Aptera succeed

Wait, I knew it was bad, but there are no pedestrian paths? Don’t you have super wide roads, so there’d be plenty of space for them…

c6, Qc3

1.) xb5, Nc7+ and get their rook (unless they decide to take their queen for your knight)

2.) xd4, get their queen (so yeah 1. will happen)

If they to for Nc6 you also can respond with Qc3 and win the knight (or the queen), unless they do Bb7, then you don’t win anything but are in a very good position (very aggressive and they can’t move anything away without losing material)
