I empathize with this and your earlier obviously inflammatory remarks, but we either pay for adaptation/mitigation now or pay billions if not trillions later for infrastructure repairs, more human lives lost, further extinctions of animal biodiversity, and reduced economic productivity from the loss of arable land.
Taxing large emitters does still past the cost down to the consumer. Someone certainly has to pay eventually. Perhaps youre too cynical to believe humans now are willing to do so. I don’t think youre right, but it’s certainly an opinion those less optimistic share :) and there is plenty of current evidence to bring hopes down.
Alas I’d like to die knowing I tried and cared instead of contributing to the apathy of the situation.
I hear this often, but I'm struggling to understand how taxing the wealthy will build houses, or lower the price of energy?
Taxing the wealthy does one thing very well: transfer money from the hands of the wealthy, who are notoriously good at managing their wealth, in to the hands of politicians and bureaucrats who are notoriously bad at managing other peoples money.
The way the wealthy "manage their wealth" is by buying up assets (including housing, etc) driving up the price for everyone else causing exactly this sort of cost of living crisis you referenced.
Not really that difficult to understand. You should read up on the history of US taxation and how much stronger the middle class was when the wealthy got taxed fairly.
You could not have agreed with my point more clearly. You don’t want to pay more, you want to force everyone richer than you to pay more. That’s the problem.
I want them to pay the same amount I do as a percentage of their earnings. But they don't, they pay far less as a percentage of their earnings. THAT's the problem.
If you seized every billionaire’s money the government would be financed for less than a year. If you want sustainable taxation to finance your climate agenda you need to convince everyone to pay more. But people won’t do it unless you pitch it as a free lunch.
Love to see this! I’m a huge fan of Neurosymbolic methods, but more advanced examples might be needed to help convince folks to adopt or try Scallop. The three on the page feel very toy. An example rooted in NLP or working with an LLM front and centered might help
If youre using the term “wokeness” seriously. You are not interested in a dialogue. You merely want to own the libs. Much of your comment history is defending Elon too and a lot of data driven replies to your past comments go seemingly unreplied by you
I don’t think you have any interest in an actual discussion here. You just want to signal youre right and the other party is wrong.
There are far more productive uses of your time then defending a stranger you’ll never meet. It’s a beautiful world out there. Please go enjoy it
I love these low level/from scratch resources. Recently been doing some game development with Godot. I decided to take a break and make a toy game with just SDL2. Lots of stuff I learned (especially from Lazy Foo’s SDL2 series) helped click a lot of concepts from Godot and let me gain a deeper understanding.
Networking is something I find intimidating so this is a good shot to jump in and grow
Steam Deck is the reason I’ve finally beat so many games on my backlog. Being able to pick up and play while on the couch, before bed, or just bring it traveling. Fantastic. I basically only buy games that are playable or verified on the Steam Deck these days.
This feels like an oversimplification of their priorities. Many right wing politicians are pro-deregulation. Trump also ran /did act on deregulation (or weakening) of certain agencies in his first term as well.
I think it’s moreso during hard economic times. Telling constituents youre going to “axe wasteful government spending” is a very viable strategy for winning elections.
Love this! Might nab it just to try it out. A very similar tool is Kenney Shape which has you drawing pixel art with depth numbers for each square that turn into models: https://kenney.nl/tools/kenney-shape
I was an early fan from 2016-2018 (stopped listening as regularly after 2018 and dropped off entirely after 2020). I agree he is not far right
Rogan definitely shifted right during this time though. Enough so that I and many others close to me found it off putting to continue. A shame because I’ve never found a replacement show.
Calling him far right is incorrect, but I believe the criticism has always been about the people he platforms and not his views. Whether or not you agree with that critique is up to you
