What if you just want minor comfort? Buy a few duplex homes, pay them off ASAP, have someone else (tenants) paying your property taxes, health insurance, and basic needs. Not everyone's definition of success is extreme wealth -- some people just want to be left the hell alone and not be beholden to an employer.
Exactly -- spending money SHOULD hurt like fuck. That way, people spend less money on frivolous shit they don't need anyway. Resist, drop out, buy used on Craigslist. Become part of the average perpetual-growth ecahhhhnamist's worst nightmares.
Government employees and contractors tend to be paid better than Amazon scut workers. I hope that this gets the AMA behind public option or single payer.
The RBMK was also designed in an idiotic manner -- the control rods were designed so they increased reactivity at first when inserted... kind of like a brake pedal in a car making a car accelerate for a minute before it starts slowing down.
The test they ran on the day of the Chernobyl accident was the equivalent of driving a car full throttle with stuck brakes, then wondering why the car suddenly accelerates and hits a tree when the stuck brakes burn up.
Then you have to live in a home full of toxic mold and with no ceiling. Money isn't everything. The world would be a better place if 90% of economists got t-boned by a bus and died screaming for morphine in a burn ward.
When preserving the only home we have is at stake, saving money shouldn't be the first priority. You have a roof leak in your house -- spend money to fix it, or let the ceilings collapse and toxic mold grow?
Preservation of the environment isn't only about money. You can't live on money if Earth is rendered uninhabitable. Ah well. Nordhaus is 78 years old, hope he cacks out soon.
That's just proof that most "ecaaaaahnamists" are borderling mentally retarded. Their "ecahhhhnamics" doesn't take the future environmental costs of fossil fools into account. If we weren't cowards, we'd be taxing the living daylights out of fossil fools, including natural gas (fossil farts).
Trump? No. If I were a Trump supporter, I'd be yapping about building more coal plants to help the poor Appalachian coal-moles get black lung or something.
Volvo can put cheaper tires on their cars from the factory to avoid liability. 112 mph = 180km/h. I suspect this will be quietly removable with the proper scan software, same as many GM cars are.
The US can abdicate its responsibility. There's no law that says it has to be responsible for everything, everywhere, to the detriment of its own people.
But we have only made small steps in doing so -- because the regulations favor corporate scum (in this case prison ad police contractors). Which feeds back to the original point... European regulations favor people, Americans favor rich corporations.

Find what the hotel costs on Expedia. Offer 10% less in cash, with a card for security/incidentals. Profit. Works nicely for smaller motels at least.

Will they also start selling Soylent Green online?
Haven for what?
Unpaid taxes?
Hoarded personal and medical data?

Stupidity all around.
Downsize your home and knock the existing one down if you can't afford it.

Plenty of people who were later debunked have won Nobel Prizes.

All of those countries tend to be mixtures of capitalism and socialism, not pure capitalism.
No - a mixture of socialism and capitalism works best.
Trump? No. If I were a Trump supporter, I'd be yapping about building more coal plants to help the poor Appalachian coal-moles get black lung or something.
You say this as if socialism is always a bad thing, you brainwashed American. Go hump Joe McCarthy's grave or something.
We should be building more nuclear power plants, not cowarding out and shutting older ones down without replacement.

I live in NYC because it's 40% foreign-born, and thus not full of provincial Americans. It's one of the few US cities that's tolerable to live in.

Do you really think that upper management in FB, GOOG, AAPL, etc will really go to prison or get fined?
It seems to only be illegal if brokered through a US agent.
Have you worked with some supposedly literate middle-class white people? It's frustrating as hell.
