More interested to know what Bush’s views on Saudi Arabia were.

Their dollar buy more until the company folds as the economy goes to shit.

Pointless points. It’s a rounding error in the grand scheme of things. You’re just a fossil fuel shill.

“Land use is the main contributor to biodiversity loss”

Is that not a quote from what is being talked about.

How much of land use that is contributing to biodiversity loss is solar panels and wind? How much is energy in total?

It’s fuck all. So yea that is relevant.

Could you compare it to land used for livestock or car parks or low density housing?

If we went 100% solar is that even noticeable compared to mentioned above.

You just making excuses.

Humans made things for humans.

Rearranging everything is better but more expensive. Sometimes it absolutely will be and has been done. There will be cases where humanoid robot is cheaper and easier. That’s not even bringing up new uses like waiter or carer, but those will be much later generations.

Proof of concept. Speed has already increased and it will.

Lots of companies must be looking into humanoid robots and I know they have already been looking into robotic arms

Good to see Argentina is heading on the right track.

Listening to Lemmy you’d think some guy with years of formal education in economics knows nothing about the economy.

Argentina was once one of the richest countries in the world.

There are four kinds of countries: developed, underdeveloped, Japan, and Argentina.

You can’t compare inflation in Argentina and America.

It’s like being hot and being on fire.

I was thinking about the US lately. Can’t remember why exactly maybe some friends popped up on my Facebook.

But I decided it actually wouldn’t be that bad of a place to live. If it wasn’t for the toxic work culture.

If they worked normal hours and had 20+ holidays it would be alright. Other shit annoy me and you would have to make sure you live in the nice areas but I could live there and enjoy it. But the work culture is an absolute no go. Wish they were like the Aussie. Show up do hard day of work fuck off for some beers. If the surfs good call in sick and end up seeing your boss in the line up. Work hard for a few months then decide fuck it and go to Bali for a weekend accidentally stay there for two months then decide you need to go back to work because travelling is too much effort walk into a job 1 week after landing home.

The problem is the same all over Europe people are unhappy with immigration from MENA.

None of the centre or left parties will deal with it, except in Denmark and Poland which coincidentally have seen lower votes for far right parties. But that’s probably unrelated right.

So yea. Let’s decide who should be in power and what they think of is right goes and ban anyone that thinks differently.

And no, the hypothetical of the robot skyscrapers is not “meaningless.”

It’s not meaningless in itself. Its meaningless to the conversation. It’s literally a hypothetical you invented for no reason. You’re just rambling.

Are you actually trying to claim that if the population was much smaller than it is today total resource use across the globe would be the same?

Because if not my point stands.

A lot of people think rockets can be very profitable. Its just a long term bet and you lack imagination. I would need to check but I’m pretty certain spacex is profitable.

Those other companies are still in R and D.

The only billionaire I know of that is launching rockets is Elon Musk.

That’s just evidence that capitalism is efficient. Because SpaceX has revolutionised space travel making the only reusable rocket doing something all the government agencies said was impossible. NASAs new unbuilt rocket is using tech from the 1970 that they are going to throe away into the ocean on every launch.

The rest you say is meaningless. How you expect this robotic skyscrapers to be built? Some MIT masters project or some capitalist experiment?

There has been efficiency gains throughout. Capitalism is amazing for that, far better than other systems.

The problem is too many people. If standard of living is to increase then the resource requirement is due to massive unsustainable population growth.

That and the fact the public hate externalities and don’t want them used at all never mind aggressively.

I meant permanently.

They must be on temporary visas. A temporary visa is not a visa to citizenship.

Countries don’t allow anyone in. They get to pick and choose who they want. That’s literally how immigration works.

If they let anyone in and gave then free healthcare then everyone could just go there and get free healthcare. That’s doesn’t make and sense, that’s completely unsustainable.

They are on a working visa. They aren’t on some 1950’s move here and become a citizen visa.

Sometimes I think about how years ago parents would lie over their children’s beds crying. Praying for a miracle because that is all that can save their child now is the work of God. They have see this before, heard the stories. Seen the other children die just recently. They know the pain, they know what is coming. They have done all they can. They sent for the doctor who said he won’t be coming back as he has other patients to attend to, ones that might live. Yes they do what they can but it is all for nothing. They bury their child and go back home.

They sit there unable to cry anymore, the silence is broken from a cough in the younger child’s room. They then pray to God that this is just a cold. God doesn’t listen, God doesn’t bring miracles. But man does. One day the work of God comes in the hands of the many and changes the suffering forever.

Sometimes I wonder what those people would say to us. I bet they would hate us for not taking something they would give their lives for.
