So every day I go out and pick up a rock and each day l double the size of the one I get, the first day 1 lb, the second day 2 lb, the third day 4 lb, and so on. By day nine I have to lift 256 lb, not happening. The same with producing electric cars, the parts supply line can not be ramped up that quickly.
So prices rise to cover the cost of a living wage but then you need more money to pay the higher prices so the living wage has to increase. Where does it end?
One hundred years ago trains were the best form of transportation in my area of north Florida. Rail lines were run every ten miles or so with stops also six to ten miles apart. You only had to walk three or four miles at most to get to one. Even in the early 70's a freight train would go by most nights on the line 400 yds from my home.
You are correct in how difficult it will be to wean people off of owning their own homes and being forced to live on top of each other within walking distance of a rail line. Simply building these high rises and cutting services to outlying areas will cost $trillions and strand more $trillions of real-estate.
One way will be to stop permitting new homes and put a 100% estate tax on current ones. As people die the property will be seized and the homes demolished, returning those areas back into forest.
I would say it is the new algorithm. I am a 66 year old man. I like car and heavy equipment fail videos. I also like young women singing metal music. I am getting recommendations to great new bands and crash filled videos.
I recently was introduced to O'Keefe Music Foundation. Kids playing groups like Tool and Danzig. These are high production value videos performed by extremely talented teens. Check out their version of Tool's 46 and 2 and Dirty Black Summer by Danzig.
Let me know what you think.
I just use my first two initials and the first four letters of my last name. My son did the same with his first two initials, I have an unusual last name.
However my postman doesn't even look at my name and is dyslexic, I live at 455 my road but I have got numerous letters addressed to 445 different road.
My son manages installation contracts for these things. One worthy noted the subsidy increased the farther offshore the turbine was. He went for the longest distance and went to Siemens to get them built. The sales staff no being dummies went to the engineers and ask if putting units that far out was possible. After some calculations they said sure. The sale people then ask when could they be delivered. Shocked the engineers replied,"Do you know how much that is going to cost!"
So everyone decides to emulate you. They move close to where they work, what is that going to do to rents and home prices? They all jam themselves into public transportation, you get to make thousands of new friends.
I was sort of like that myself and have two adult children who are now. My 44 year old son and 46 year old daughter are professionals with advanced degrees. Both of them are going together to Dragon Con. My son has organized his own cons twice. There are reasons for stereotypes.
Go to the more Progressive web forums like Democratic Underground or Raw Story and read the comments sections. These people do not want the government of 2009 that let Trump get elected. They want a government that will never let that happen again. To them that means no Republicans can ever be allowed to be elected to anything again.
The first thing to be enacted will be the elimination of the Electoral college. I am 66 and retired. I spend a lot of time checking news sites. Even the more moderate sites are calling for similar actions. When they get elected people like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are going to push to get their social programs enacted. They are going to force the moderate Democratic to go along with them or face the same punishments as Republicans will be getting. Or I could be totally wrong, I will keep your ID number and get back in touch after the mid terms. We'll see, bye till then.
Well, three responses so far, a record for me. No I do not want universal voting. So you want all those people who dropped out of high school to vote? All those people you had to sit beside in the 101 classes? Plus anyone who has wandered into the country? I think having enough drive and intelligence to obtain one of three or four required IDs is a very low bar.
If the same number of Democrats who were able to vote for Obama the first time vote next time I am sure Democrats will gain total control of the government in 2020 and then all your dreams will come true. You may even get the pleasure of putting down an armed insurrection. I can hardly wait.
The problem could be solved by issuing a photo ID when a person registers to vote. It is ridiculously easy to register a name if you know the last four digits of their SS number. Acceptable other documents such as credit card or student ID can easily be forged. With little cost or expense those without current required photo ID could be re-registered. The one in hundred who are immobile could have a county worker visit their domicile.
Insurance companies do not make 30% profit, hospitals, doctors, and medical labs on the other hand, who knows. The government pays for national defense, how's that working out? For single payer medical care to work the government pays to train doctors and nurses and then pays their salary. The government owns and operates hospitals and medical labs. The government develops and manufactures all drugs and medical devices. There should be no profit in health care.
My wife got her nursing training with a 100% scholarship at a state tech school. She does home care for severely disabled children. She happened to see the paperwork for one of her cases. The private staffing company she works for is paid $45 an hour by Medicaid for one of her clients but they pay her $16 an hour, imagine this for all Americans. Not only does Medicaid happily pay high charges for care it also spends billions for unnecessary or fraudulent charges.
That is why DVR's were invented. I prerecord what I want to watch then keep the remote handy and hit the jump ahead button a few times and continue watching.
This for my satellite TV, my Internet is over satellite also because I never had any cords to cut. With only 50 GB a month streaming services are not an option.
At 46 wife was part of a study for a new ADHD drug. Whatever she took did not help but she was then given a year's prescription for another drug, Vivance. It is an amphetamine but acts differently. She became a new woman. She had barely graduated high school and had only worked as a waitress and store clerk.
I am disabled and we needed more income so she went school to become a nurse. After I showed her how to do web searches on her new laptop she became a super student. She graduated top of her class. She also had enough energy to spend "quality" time with me. She started going by her second name instead of her first. Sonya is a tiger! She had a great three years, unfortunately it costs $360 a month so now she takes a cheap generic amphetamine. Instead of working 12 hours a pill only works for four and then they only keep her awake. Sonya is mostly gone and scatter brained Michelle has shown back up. She recently started back crafting, her new project is smashing mirrors and gluing the pieces to the hallway ceiling for a mosaic.
Something I know, I grew several hundred million pounds of that potato's offspring as a farmer, the Atlantic variety. If you eat potato chips you have eaten them.
The Lenape was devolved as a chip potato so consumers would not have eaten enough to get sick. The farmer though had access and cooked them as they are very tasty.
This only works for knowledge workers, most people are production workers. I was a tech for automated produce packaging machines, at the end of a sixty hour week they were still kicking out 50 5 lb bags a minute. You can't make most tasks go quicker, you can only pick produce so fast, maids can only clean so fast. Store hours are set for the convenience of their customers, shortening hours will not make them come in faster.
Then there are care workers, my wife is a home care nurse for disabled children, they require constant attention, no way to shorten the day. Sure, you could hire more nurses to spread the load but the company needs 10 more nurses now. Immigrant nurses only want to work in hospitals.
I guess every national leader for the last 70 years has been retarded. Our system of roads benefits the most people, Most people are poor so the few rich pay the taxes that fix the roads. Ah, socialism.
So using trains and repairing railroad tracks would be cheaper than using trucks and repairing roads? Sure you can add taxes to make one method cost more than another but ultimately the consumer pays either way.
No matter what would have been best if done 50 years ago we now have roads everywhere. The roads can't erased, at least most of them. New rail-lines would have to be crammed into an already crowded landscape.
Money received from sovereign wealth is not taxes and the government controlling natural resources is not socialism. The natural resources belong to the citizens of the country. The profits from the sale of those should go to them.
The US federal government does not do that, instead it gives the resources on public lands to private individuals.

Question? Would that have worked if Ford's employees then went out and bought Nissans and Toyotas?
As we say in the religious South, "Preach it brother!"
If everyone depends on something is it actually subsidized? How much of what you use or eat was not transported by a big rig at some point?
