Just in time, Trump needs a new water boy

I don’t think epicanthic folds would be considered evolution. Most human changes are in our immune system and sense of smell.

It would be impossible to build today by any means. Not because of any technological problem. Physically it could be done rather quickly, as others have posited. The problem is that you could never combine the political and economic will to complete it.

It’s the same reason it would be easier to colonize Mars than to fix climate change. There’s a half dozen robots on Mars that will do whatever you tell them. On Earth, there’s 7 billion assholes who think they have a better idea of what to do.

There’s a ton of right wing sites that would tell you eliminating the cap is a complete waste of time horrible for the economy, bringer of the end of days, etc.

Bezos, like many ultra wealthy, most likely paid himself some token amount in wages. Many CEO’s used to pay themselves $1, just to say they had an income. They have accountants that decide how much he should claim as wages, just to maximize the returns from Social Security, without paying into it any more than needed.

Removing the cap would go a long way, but it’s not enough by itself. We’ll still need more people, or a time machine with a fertility clinic in it. From what I can tell, boomers seem to be thinking we’re going to find that time machine somehow.

Get a deer chaser sprinkler. They’re cheap and easy to set up.

I think armor that makes you blind might just give your opponent time to figure out where you’re not wearing armor.

Pretty good really. Kids are having a good time, and nothing major has broken.

Long before wages create affordability, they have to out pace inflation. It’s going to take a long period of wages slightly beating inflation for the public to be happy.

Or we could have another recession to make prices drop, but wages would lose ground to inflation when it returns.

No one claimed white people were short on idiots.

I’d be happier if there and actual identity control system in our credit system. Identity theft is stupidly difficult to clean up.

Now try to get them to pass a minimum age for marriage.

Don’t worry, the political upheaval caused by mass migrations will be more than enough to put the brakes on any global attempt to save the climate.

You’re not working against inflation, you’re working against the 7 billion other people who want your food, shelter and luxuries.

The problem isn’t the value of your currency, it’s your lack of bargaining power in the face of competition and entrenched interests.

Kinda sad really, but traveling up the east coast this year and we can see it in the towns we visit. The social gatherings are more segregated than usual, and they weren’t integrated to begin with. Folks all looking at each other with a side eye, especially along the black/white divide.

There’s too many shit stirrers in this stew.

For the most part, the left would absolutely have someone executed for treason. The left is loyal to ideals, not people. It wouldn’t matter if it were Biden or Trump.

The authoririan left, who might have a problem if it were ‘their guy’ don’t have any loyalty to Biden, because he’s not a communist or populist leader.

So the government has gotten every university and financial institution on the planet to go along with their ruse? I mean after faking a moon landing that sounds trivial.

Screw fines, add criminal penalties.

I doubt they’ll use screen shots to implement anything like piracy controls. It’s too messy and inaccurate, and there are easy and accurate ways to check for file signatures. Every virus scanner already does it.

If they’re going to institute license controls that’s how it would work. Any signature of unlicensed software would get locked out by file heuristics.

Wall of acid, same as wall of fire, but acid damage.
