Lab grown meat is just an investment scam. You can't just throw muscle cells into some cheap vegetable soup and fish out a steak. They need to be thrown into a carefully and expensively chemically produced sterile nutrient soup, which then needs to be kept mostly free from the waste products the muscle cells produce which adds more costs. Those cells don't form in nice tasty big muscles with inter-muscular-fat deposits either. You just get a bunch of cells, which at best you can press into something resembling very poor ground beef.
Nature is our bitch and science our backhand. We can create anything deficient from vegetable sources with yeasts and bacteria... we don't need animal cell cultures for that. As for then making something palatable resembling a steak at a reasonable price, I think 3D printing has much better odds than using animal cell cultures for the foreseeable future.
Meat has an interesting textural quality mostly absent from vegetables and fruit and even when present with fundamentally different nutritionally qualities, which makes it impossible to emulate meals which people grew up with.
The problem with faux meat is replicating the structure and the fat distribution. Textured protein does an okay job at the filamentous part, but can't distribute fat through the produced chunks. Also the chunks are limited in size.
With fused deposition modeling (ie. 3d printing) you can replicate that structure to some extent and distribute fat throughout, in far larger chunks than can be produced by textured protein extrusion.
A vote for anyone else is a vote for the temporary collaboration between open border idealists and neo-feudalists towards a globalist future. Even politicians who are in their heart nationalist progressives like Sanders and Corbyn get bullied by the media into toeing the globalist line.
Globalism or Trump, those are the options... and if you vote globalism, don't be surprised if the neo-feudalists come out on top.
Left to their own devices consumers chase interest. Chasing interest with uninsured banking means bankruns, deflationary spirals and misery. No insurance in banking will work without the absolute guarantee of the printing press as a backstop and providing that backstop is an implicit subsidy.
So to stop subsidizing loans government would have to regulate to make all deposit banking full reserve, with a hugely painful transition process. Banks would be stuck with an infrastructure and workforce fundamentally mismatched with the new services and new mortgage lenders would have to seek normal investors to provide their capital.
In an area as economically important as mortgage lending you are not going to see such a transition outside of extremely dire circumstances, you'd need a great depression... the kind which spawns world wars.
Peanuts are still better than bugger all. Trump fights the world when he goes against globalism, any tiny step he makes in the process compares favourably against the steps of every administration before him for the last 5 odd decades.
He killed the TPP, he's in the process of massively increasing the requirements for H-1B's, he's trying to renegotiate NAFTA with ISDS removed for most industries.
Do you think any other presidential candidate would have done or will do anything close to that? He's not very competent, but if you actually want to see pro-labour policies in the US you can only vote for a 2nd term of Trump. Any other vote is a vote for a globalist race to the bottom.
No, it does not... there is no scalable TWh storage technology to carry any significant power across a Dunkelflaute. The German's way to deal with the problem for instance as they were turning off coal and nuclear has been to just borrow power from their neighbours when there's shortage. except everyone is doing the same thing and excess generating capacity is disappearing fast.
As long as solar and wind are not cheaper than fueling the backup plants, or we get cheap scalable TWh scale storage, it is being subsidized. Merely being able to be cheaper than wholesale pricing at a given point in time is not enough. Now there is nothing inherently wrong with it needing subsidy, but the lies about it being profitable without it are dangerous. Politicians aren't very smart, they are prone to drinking their own koolaid. Then suddenly you'll get rolling blackouts.
They don't go cashless out of idealism, it saves them money and thus it saves their customers money. If you force cost on them most their customers will be worse off and we all struggle. Not as much as the average Yemenite obviously, just more or less first world struggles.
Lets change the ethnicities, lets say you are an ethnic Tibetan marrying a Han in Tibet. Clearly collaboration with genocide. That doesn't mean you shouldn't allow it, but you would undeniably be helping along the process China initiated to destroy your culture and ethnicity.
The processes initiated in Europe post-WW2 to pacify the European nations are not much different. They are softer, more sophisticated processes... after two world wars there might even be some justification in pushing them, but it's just plain genocidal. Also extremely dangerous, because if they don't succeed there is a large risk they get reversed instead, with a scary amount of bloodshed. Much like getting Han influence out of Tibet at this point, there is no pretty way to do it.
It's also an act of "I'm not invading you at the moment". Nothing changed because of the incident, that semi-blockade had been in place for a long time.
Russia may or may not invade Ukraine, but the spat at the Kerch Strait was not a sign of Russia getting ready to do so.
Russia is slowly strangling the Ukraine economy on the sea of Azov and Ukraine send in those ships in the hope an incident would get international help. If they don't get it, Russia will just return to strangling them.
Closest tidal gauge with long term data is Key Eest. The following alt-right false news site pretends the rise has been pretty steady for a century, which because of the complete lack of correlation with CO2 emissions is of course proven a lie by scientific consensus.
I don't live there and my standard of living is a lot higher than theirs. I do not vote to share the wealth of my nation with Brazil and I don't expect them to preserve their nature for my benefit.
The most advanced nations of the planet mostly deforested their nations too. Europe has basically nothing left of the old growth forests outside of some small preserves. The US has a smaller percentage of forest than Brazil and two third of that is fucking timberland...
So lets not be sanctimonious here, they are in economic dire straits and they need the agricultural land and timber. It's not like anyone is standing up and offering them a couple trillion dollar to buy up most of the Amazon as an official preserve.
Oh and I forgot soil depletion... the profits from this aren't sufficient to have agricultural type soil management, and the EU doesn't care because it's just value signalling and playing nice with lobbyists.
Biomass power just plain destroys soil, we would be better off burning coal.

If you look at some more of their lies there are stations with longer history which show sea level rise has been steady for well over a century.

It's a shame, but it is what it is.
Oops, I I guess I didn't realize that either :/
I'll just blame it on coming from a small country :) It is indeed insignificant.

Why would he throw money at a cooperation which will only waste it?
Then some proper management can take over. Short term pain, but you get rid of a lot of corruption and liabilities.
It relies on market cap for security of transfer, so if it drops enough it becomes useless.
The wind energy available at rooftop level is pitiful.
It will be just as useful when the bearings seize as when it moves.
This is about autarky, but autarky is a dirty word when spoken by non-Israelis ... so lets say climate instead.
They don't like cooperating either, so you get one backdoor per agency.
