I think the higher salaries are being phased in. So, I don't think the full $70k has been implemented yet.
They are getting the benefit of the publicity, but not the full pain of the increased salaries. We have yet to see if the $70k salaries are sustainable as the business expands.
Plus, think about all that extra heat that isn't bouncing off the planet back into space anymore.
Maybe we can just put the light bulbs above the solar panels and solve global warming that way.
So, there would be millions of examples of other brands of cars on the road right now doing the same thing. Great, they can be tracked down.
However, that seems unlikely. Are you sure the industry has been doing this "since the 1990s?" It would be very easy to verify.
Unlike helium, I don't think hydrogen escapes from the atmosphere. Rather, it will hang around for a while, chemically active, and eventually be oxidized back to water (whether or not it burns).
Nonono! Russia is invading the Ukrain because... US!...and China is building artificial islands and bullying their neighbors because... US!
Get it straight.
Can we wait for examples, maybe from Europe, before jumping into this ourselves? Let's see a large-ish country like Germany offer basic income to all its residents (plus to all influxing refugees). If things improve, other welfare programs disappear, and everything becomes efficient and hunky-dory, maybe we can try it here (we can start in Vermont and California).
It does seems like a good idea to fall on the side of personal freedom in any particular area until we are sure that it's a bad idea.
The alternative, logically, would be to fall on the side of government control, until we are sure we don't need it (and then probably not remove it anyway because it has become so entrenched).

You won't have to wipe -- Google toilets are way more advanced than that.
That literally hurt my brain when I read it. Well, something on the inside or outside of my skull, under the skin, in the forehead area... literally.
No, the issue would be that you need to pay in US dollars. So, you still need to take the hit on the exchange rate.
"Somehow the human race survives without the need..." No, they don't. It was a television show. It wasn't real.

It said "marketplace sellers." So, yes, everyone.
Is Amazon big enough that this will open the eyes of federal regulators?
Please, no logic, my head hurts.
Seems fine to me, as long as the they don't go after the frugal Prius driver to fund their retirement or health care.
As long as it doesn't involve rent seeking.
Bwahahahaha!
Only if it learned on its own.
This seems to be a first step. I would assume a clash action lawsuit would follow from owners.

I would retire immediately (I'm in my 40s).
On a side note, what will be call our coming self-directed evolution?

Ok, God wants us to continue using petroleum. You can't argue with God.
Not here in Washington State (we call it "New Amsterdam").
My understanding is that they has similar GPAs in college.
Global Warming: go! ...gets popcorn. :)
