Nothing. I work on a start-up.
And what is nonsensical about paying employees decent enough wages that they 1.5 can live on, and then have us all pay much lower taxes?
Or do you like paying taxes or just going deeply into debt?
hmm. U think that Venezuela's issues stem from socialism or Cost of employment? Because these are very different issues.
In addition, Venezuela had real issues due to China coming in and pushing them to focus on oil as opposed to having a diversified economy.
BUT, you obviously do not realitze that and obviously do not care.
In addition, you appear to have ZERO concept of what SNAP is all about. How the fuck do you think it is being funded? Not from company taxes. It is from yours and mine taxes. WE are paying more to so that companies can pay LESS.
Instead, I would rather that those companies pay ppl enough to live on, and then cut taxes. Instead, if is idiots that support minimum wages below living standards that then force loads of taxes here.
Seriously, we need a minimum wage in each area that equals what it takes to support an adult AND a single child. We should have few ppl on snap and NONE that are working.
Sadly, so many idiots around here fight common sense.
Now, we can assume that the sharks have left as well and send Trump, Pence, W, and Cheney on down there for some R&R and have them swim in the great barrier reef. All safe and what not. Just have to give cheney a shotgun while they are out there.
Why? SX is profitable. Tesla is supposed to be breakeven when they hit 400,000+ cars/week, and apparently quite profitable at 500,000+/week.
Boring is just getting, so little chance of going teats-up there.
Actually, other than the panel fits, all of munros comments were pure fud.
The panels was from an.early M3. I would hope that at this point, things are solid. We will see shortly.
Huh.
The shuttle cost.5B / launch just for the hardware fixes between missions. That does not include the extra cost of 1B for ground crew, r&d, etc. IOW, it was 1.5B / launch with the shuttle, to put 24.5 tonnes and 7 ppl into leo.
Otoh, falcon 9 cost 62 million to put 22.8 tonnes into leo, and only 40 million for 18 tonnes or less.
Block 5 is supposed to raise that to 26/20 tonnes.
Falcon H does 63.5 tonnes to leo for 120m or 53 tonnes for 80 M.
All in all, it is far far cheaper to fly expendable or reusable Falcons, than the shuttle.
No, most Americans are well aware of how much garbage comes from china. CHina has worked hard to kill off electronic, led, solar, EV, etc manufacturing in the west. That includes in Europe. The best thing that can happen is that CHina either start playing by WTO rules, OR we bring back manufacturing, with lots of automation, to the west.
In this case, this company has hired a few Americans, but prohibited them from owning ANY STOCK IN THE COMPANY. In fact, no westerners are allowed to obtain stock in it.
Finally, you speak of GDP growth. Here is America Here is China Here is EU
Out of all 3, America is doing the best. Should we be allowed to grow our CO2 just because our GDP is going up faster? Nope. The world can not afford this. We need ALL NATIONS to lower their emissions, and that includes China, India, etc. We need to get down to Sweden's level. THAT is how you stop AGW.
And CHina IS a developed nation.
Without Tesla, there would be NO EVs. NONE. China would not even have 2-3 car companies making EVs.
Without the massive investment that America gov made into NASA R&D on PV and Li-ion batteries, we would have very little today.
Yes, my family bought these, BUT, it took gov and businesses to make them available. MOre importantly, we are but a FAMILY. If EVERY American family (which they can not esp since those aerogel windows will not pay off for nearly 30 years ) did what we did, the dent in CO2 from transportation and residential buildings would be about 25% of America's CO2. While I am not fully certain of China's output, it is very likely that if 100% of Chinese residents were on the same set-up that I am( again ZERO chance) , that they would likely be around 15-25% TOTAL of CHina's CO2 output.
That is how little you and I make in this. In America, residential usage, is about 1/3 of electricity. In terms of TOTAL ENERGY used, residential is about 20%. Our passenger vehicles are about another 10%. So, all in all, if we want to make ANY REAL CHANGE, it can only be hitting businesses and gov., not the small amount of CO2. China needs to stop growing theirs emissions and the ONLY way to stop that, is to stop adding new coal plants. Have them add wind and solar.
America needs to cut ours faster. Thankfully, because of the model 3 combined with coal plants closing down, we are going to see a couple of % a year drop. Starting next year, the new tesla trucks will actually drop our CO2 by 2-5% EACH YEAR. That is how much of an impact that truck will make. Yes, 5000 new Tesla trucks EACH YEAR will reduce CO2 FURTHER than 500,000 new model 3s EACH YEAR. That is how big of an impact BUSINESSES have.
'They' and you are far more likely working for the chinese gov, live in a flat with coal-fired electricity.
The fact is, that I told the truth, while you continue to troll.
Let's see. I live in Colorado on the front range. Our home is super insulated with south facing back loaded with double paine windows, while the north side has aerogel based windows. We have a 10 KW solar system on our house. We pay 10/month for electricity. We drive a 2013 Tesla model S that is more 1/2 charged by the solar. We will be installing power wall as soon as it's available in our area. Our footprint was calculated at less than 3 / year.
So no, I seriously doubt that you or them emit less.
Hmm. Ok.
Why did china's coal production, consumption, and CO2 increase over 5% in 2017, while America's coal consumption and CO2 decrease for 2017?
What excuses should America make for dropping our emissions for over 9 years in a row? We have gone from 24.6 down to 14.9. what excuses should we make for that?
Not only do we no longer build new coal plants, but have been shutting then down the fastest of any group?
Paris accord will solve all the issues with Climate Change. I am sure that if we
do not focus on stopping growth in emissions, and instead all focus on per capita emissions while allowing CHina, India, Brazil, South Africa, etc to grow, that it will solve all of these issues.
I mean what could possible go wrong with stopping 1 small group of ppl while allowing others to grow far bigger in their emissions.
Wind is already cheaper than coal. Of course, it is not good for all areas. But, a good example is Pakistan. China has now convinced pakistan to buy china's horrible coal, and in return, china will install several coal plants at costs. Bear in mind that pakistan does not have coal plants because they have no coal. So, china is getting others to burn their coal. INSANE.
We should be encouraging Pakistan to go to wind, solar, and yes, nuclear. If we are going to cut the CO2, we have to have all nations in on it.
I have to say that I am disgusted by this.
We really need to stop ALL new coal plants, or re-openings, from occurring. That should include ALL NATIONS.

that is interesting. Is not the phone a VOIP? Because if so, it simply means that they are choosing to block the broadband.

You need to re-read what he wrote. He said that he had taken too many out. He removed the conveyor and replaced it already.
Why? SX is profitable. Tesla is supposed to be breakeven when they hit 400,000+ cars/week, and apparently quite profitable at 500,000+/week. Boring is just getting, so little chance of going teats-up there.
You are not reading correctly. He is not throwing more ppl at it. He is scaling up and needs more ppl. Big difference.

First off, you are right that I did NOT speak about Americas increase in Coal exports TO CHINA. It is something that I am opposed to. In addition, it is CHINA'S consumption, not ours.
Secondly. pretty funny that you picked an article from EIA about China, which was based on 2015 numbers. The prediction was that coal usage would fall in China. But, it does not. It continues to grow. It slowed down a bit relative to their GDP, but once their GDP growth rate picked up, so did the coal. But the real use of that coal increase, are the EVs that are flowing in. Because China will not quit build new coal plants and instead focus solely on building wind/solar/hydro until they have their nuclear power plants going, then it will be more coal they will use.
China is building 700 new coal plants in China and around the globe, of the 1600 new ones going up. They are pushing it even in places like Kenya China is builing it with Chinese workers, steel, etc, and 'loaning' money, BUT, in return, Kenya must not only pay for the power plant, but must also buy the coal from China.
You really think that this will cut down the CO2 in the future?
Nope. This is how you make things WORSE.
Finally, you speak of GDP growth.
Here is America
Here is China
Here is EU

Seriously, rayovacs are made in America and costs less than Duracell/Energizer. Both of those brands are EXPENSIVE and really do not do that great of a job.,

not all places. There are plenty of areas in which wind is not the right way to go.
nope. Most is from plankton ( which is mostly prokaryotic ) and some are from animals.
Wind is already cheaper than coal. Of course, it is not good for all areas. But, a good example is Pakistan. China has now convinced pakistan to buy china's horrible coal, and in return, china will install several coal plants at costs.

no, just tax the import from their nation. Simple as that.
I have to say that I am disgusted by this.
