how about as a way to keep costs down we cap execs salaries? if the board of a sockmaking company doesn't make 20 mil a year plus bonuses and perks then the company could afford to hire 500 workers at $50k a year. thats a lot of socks.
its fucking greed by the rich pigs at the top. it always has been and it will remain that way unless things get so bad people are rioting in the streets and kicking down the doors of their mansions.
actually we had the accc kick down some doors not long ago and pillage documents from major oil companies who were dobbed in for price collusion by a whistleblower.
oddly enough the oil companies were really pissed and came on tv with a "you can't do this to us!" sort of attitude, while people kicked back and laughed.
Colleen McCullochs First Man in Rome series is awesome. i am on my third reading now. she has the largest collection of history books in the southern hemisphere and she tells the story so well. sulla is cooler than marius and julius ceasar is the man! She also wrote the Song of Troy which is an excellent story about Troy. taught me more about the history of it than i learnt in school.
Kurt Vonnegut Jr. Breakfast of Champions is a funny book you can knock over in an afternoon. kilgore trouts story ideas are priceless.
James Clavell is pretty good. i really loved Noble House and King Rat and Shogun are also damn good reads.
Read some military history like Julius Ceasars Gallic Campaigns or the history of the french foreign legion or rommels book on tank warfare (i bet he wished he never wrote that!)
and the best book EVER is Dr. Suesses Sleep Book. The news just came in from the county of kek, tht a very small bug by the name of van vleck, is yawning so wide you can look down his neck. now this may not seem very important you know, but it is so i'm bothering telling you so.
tip: when you go to a bookshop, check out all the other sections!!
yes the article should have put more explanations into it, in fact if they said USABLE SPACE it would shut up half the raving comments thus far.
its all about usable space. you cannot farm in the australian desert. you cannot house communities in antarctica. if they said "humans take up 83% of productive space" then they would be more on the money.
irrigating the desert. great idea braniac. so where is all this water going to come from?? here in perth (australia) we can hardly supply our needs as is let alone coming up with fanciful ideas of just spontaneously creating gigalitres of water to turn the wasted space of desert into lush green farmland. hey why don't the turks irrigate their unproductive land with the euphrates? oh they have to dam it? no problem! i'm sure all downstream countries wouldn't mind. regional conflict anyone?
i could go the hemp solution though govt would never buy it
multi level greenhouses in the middle of nowhere? hello? logistics? transport? power supply? labour and support costs? nutrients? water?
resources ARE limitied. technology DOESN'T almost always fill whatever needs arise. its attitudes like that which people use to justify pissing resources up against the wall as if there is no tomorrow and expecting us to develop some amazing army of super nano-robots that can go around and clean up our environment and keep us all in the lifestyle to which we are accustomed after we have fucked everything up. wake up to yourself.

and there was much rejoicing
like others have said, branch out a bit
