Fuck that those are just over priced over sized swamp coolers which uses water. Even though water emits nothing or near nothing, swamp coolers/evaporative coolers are highly ineffective and you’d be filling it with water quite a lot or you’d be hooked to a water line and unless they were fully able to be 100% disassembled and cleaned and unless people actually cleaned them they’d be just mildew sources running in your homes.

Propane refrigerant is the best for the ozone. It’s just not used in mini splits in the US. If propane was used we’d be fine. https://www.npga.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/NPGA-Enviro-1pg-555283.pdf and all you gotta do is change a filter and ask someone to come over and recharge it once a year. It’ll never be phased out and it’s highly effective as a refrigerant.

And we’re accelerating the data centers all over the world. The planet will just naturally fully* ice age after the ice caps melt and we all die. Circle of life, eh guys.

I say fully because we’re still in an ice age.

I think the problems from that are smaller and easier to solve than the problems from fracking/oil well drilling/coal mining etc destructive practices for fuel.

No. Way more destructive. Fracking for oil and drilling can make a site uninhabitable for like 5 years and it can be cleaned effectively in a minimum of like a month.

Nuclear Damage can last from 112 years to up to 20,000 years. You can decontaminate an area effectively on 2 to 7 years but the waste water of dumped wouldn’t be good for anything.

Some colleges have micro nuclear power plants so it’s not like they’re not used.

Its a gamble that needs a lot of competence to make it future proof.

I am also for nuclear. It’s just a giant steam power plant with radio active rods. I’m thinking about the Ohio River being polluted with radioactivity as a worst case scenario.

Yeah the middle of America got so fucked over… Now they want to start nuclear power plants all over the country.

Good luck why don’t you audit Fort Knox as well.

You’re right the costs do make it unfavorable. Quality ain’t bad though. An anesthesiologist makes more than a dentist though. So that’s cool.

There’s only 1,000 billionaires in the US but there’s way more six figure earners. So where does that leave the middle class? Would the near poverty lower class be paying these taxes?

You also overlooked what I mentioned that relative to now it seems like a good idea, yes? Though, in the amount of time it would take to not only accumulate the amount of money through those taxes into a treasury, about 4 presidencies will have gone by, realistically 2 which would mean in the amount of time it would take for this to work the legislation behind it could go away, meaning it wouldn’t make a fucking difference and all those funds would dissolve back either into the social security trust or more likely the military funding or the national debt.

It would be a massive gamble to attempt it. You would be playing with a lot of people’s money.

#1 question who’s gonna pay for it? Free isn’t free with those goods and services.

Given there’s a trillionaire class you could totally start a trust and in 5 years have enough money to fund all of those for 10 years worth of those good and services the questions are: how much do you want in the trust, how much do you think we should tax people to reach that goal and how are we going to make this work effectively because eit would have to be in the bench mark of the 200k$ and up class to make it effective.

Medical, Housing and Work Leave are the biggest that would cost the most you could make college free and make it go off of income as well but that’s still making pay just not up front.

Put it this way housing market in New Hampshire fuckin’ sucks and the taxes are a fuck load but there’s no sales tax because they evened it out.

So unless you can even these goods and services out effectivly in the way of where the hell are you getting the money to pay for these goods and services, you’re not getting far.

Doctors need to get paid, college professors need to get paid, housing authorities and landlords still need to get paid (and utilities and all that shit), like solar/wind/nuclear still needs funding.

It’s not that they don’t want it!!! They don’t know how to make it cost effective without it needing to accumulate in a treasury in the same amount of time it would take for 4 presidencies to go by before it could even be used and in that time the new presidents could scrap the trust.

It’s not gonna happen. I’m for it. It’ll never happen but I’m for it

It’s the taxes. There’s a reason people bike in Europe and not because it’s cute it’s because the high taxes on gas are used to support public transportation. Imagine being closer to the source and paying more because it’s taxed to shit. The high taxes on what we enjoy with just a price point to fund projects that never become complete or serve the direct purpose, is what bothers them.

Not to mention the Cuyahoga river that sometimes just happens to catch on fucking fire from pollution. I seriously think that pollution fucks with everyone’s brains over there but here I am on the east coast where the East River, Charles River and the run off systems from Maine all empty into the areas some ¼ mile to a mile away from drinking water treatment facilities so… What the fuck right.

We’re all getting retarded drinking the water and then we can’t escape microplastics or cadmium, lead, mercury and chlorine forever.

Again, deflock shows where they are. Just start mobbing them and fucking them up, sledge hammers go a long way.

I want to also add, if it were illegal to be off brand and have the same function, there wouldn’t be store brands. They’re losing money, big shit, they’re the name brand, they’ll recoup their losses.

And yet, people still download free ROMS. The ported games that aren’t available unless you pay extra is such a scam. Better off a wired 360 controller and Vimms Lair or a mayflash and a wii u pro controller.

Liberty city stories on the psp on my end. I got the last one or PC installed it played it for two days and then I threw it out after playing multi-player and the only thing people wanted to do was heist.

After I learned about LibreOffice 12 years ago I never went back but I feel you on that. I used to tell my mom I can find a registration code for Microsoft office and not to pay for it.

I think my windows 10 pc isn’t registered and if it is it’s from a code I found on Google.

I don’t pay for software probably ever unless a year after a release theres nothing around and I genuinely need the software I’ll pay for it but if it’s subscription based I’ll try to find an alternative that does the same but I can find a code for.

Unless you open source which can be iffy on quality if not consistently maintained. FreeCAD proves that.

Nintendo blowing up about ROMS didn’t help a fuckin’ thing.
