He can’t, that’s an amendment so he’d need another amendment to get rid of it. Hed need to get 38 state lesiglatures on board and there’s only 27 states with republican controlled legislatiures.

Russia’s ammendment was passed via popular vote. If we passed amendments the same way I’d be concerned, but our current method makes it highly unlikely.

I laughed soooo hard when he said they plan on selling and then repeating the process every 2 years. How on earth is he a realtor but also thinks that 250k-500k gains on property over the course of 2 years is normal.

The housing market is in a huge bubble right now, my home is up ~50k since I bought in late 21 without me doing a damn thing.

I really wanna follow up with the guy in 2 years when he’s complaining he’s stuck with a 1million dollar how financed at 6% and he’s 400k underwater and he should have just stayed at his previous home probably financed at 3%.

I believe, and I’d have to go find the quote, but he meant/said simple. Simple =/= easy, just that there are a few things you can do that have a huge impact. Like you could bombard the polar caps and release a shit ton of Co2 and water which would thicken the atmosphere, trap some heat, and start a rain cycle. That’s conceptually simple but practically hard. To keep on with Musk, he’s also been quoted multiple times saying that living on Mars is gonna suck for a long long time.

I guess in the same way climate change is conceptually simple but practically hard. Cutting out 90% of Co2 emissions pulling existing Co2 out is simple, most of the tech is already developed, it just would cost hugely insane amounts of money to do it quickly. We have direct air capture, we could build dedicated nuclear power air capture plants above existing limestone/granite deposits and pump them full. It just would cost $$$$/kg.

60deg in Spain was ground surface temp not air temp, air temp was like 40deg.

Even at +4c there will still be plenty of “nice” places for billionaires to fuck off to and build a nice little rich people commune. Hell, a +6c world is still the garden of eden in comparison to Mars.

Yes there’s a lot of interest in Mars right now, but it’s really is just mega rich nerds. Hell, if I was mega rich, I’d make an aerospace company too, space is cool.

The rich peppers are buying up land and building compounds in climate safe havens, like New Zealand.

Unless lasik has significantly changed, last I looked it lasts ~10 years and you can only do it twice, so it doesn’t really make sense to do it from prepper reasons unless you think collapse is within 6 months. Otherwise, get the timing wrong and you could need another round of lasik just after the beginning of the appocolypes or worse you could need a new round but have already done two right before everything collapses.

Same, I’m petty as fuck, I’ve held grudges for a lot less than what this court has done.

That’s fair, hopefully bolsonaro out and Silva back will lead to more sustainable logging practices in the vast majority if the Amazon.

In Romania, in 2018, the industrial roundwood production reached 10.436 million m3, out of which, 8.436 million m3 were converted into sawnwood, veneer, and parquet, and 1.09 million m3 was converted into wood-based panels (NSI Romania 2018). This equated to a wood utilization efficiency of 91%, which is close to the value indicated at a global level by FAO.

There’s alway more opportunity and money to be made in new emerging markets, just not by the current top dogs.

That’s why cigarette companies fought against e-cigs while buying those companies out.

That’s why power companies for the longest time poo pooed solar while quietly investing in solar capacity.

The big guys block and depress these new markets while they get their ducks in a row cause if these new markets just exploded uncontrolled they’d miss out on getting in cheap.

Co2 is released when those trees rot. If they’re cut down for construction material then they don’t release their carbon it’s actually stored away.

Honestly one of the reasons that longevity treatments could actually turn out to be a good thing.

All of a sudden a bunch of rich fucks who were sooo sure that climate change wouldn’t effect them but rather their great great grandkids have a good reason to pour a lot of money into the problem so they don’t die of heat or starvation at the young age of 150 when they could have lived 200? 300? Who knows, at a certain point you get a longevity tech run away effect.

I like to plant my leafy greens inside an arch trellis, that way the squash and cucumbers shade the greens. My arugula is still trying to bolt but I can keep it pretty decent by topping it when I see it look like it’s heading that way.
