Have they really given any thought to how this works?
Borrowing economic surplus from the future to create pollution today seems like it would cause global warming, not fix it.
If they could do this stuff without borrowing all that money, it may work.
Tesla is a junk bond, because they have to borrow lots of money at pretty crappy rates, which is one of the reasons they have such strong short interest. Until they can answer some fundamental questions about the long term viability of this stuff, they will continue to be a junk bond.
Eroi/Eroei is not considered as a factor into the viability of a city. That's for modern American civilization as a whole. As the ratio continues to fall, more parts of society will die off, and growth will slow. That's why you have had 2-3% growth since eroi has tumbled. There is very little literature on this topic.
My conclusion about NYC is that a lot of people that have the option to leave are taking that option. Whether or not the remaining growth is a positive thing is debatable. Having more kids or importing more people to service the debt incurred by the previous inhabitants seems morally wrong.
The mega cities and their suburbs rely on an energy return on energy invested of about 50:1. That ratio currently stands at about 30:1 with the other 20:1 being financed from future generations. As the ratio continues to fall, the systems and services which make the mega cities feasible will cease to function. When the Federal Government no longer exists, there will be no one to transfer wealth from once place to another. The wealth gap is created by borrowing money from children while only redistributing it to a few specific constituencies.
If those places don't adjust their way of life, they will disappear. Which makes the world a better place.
Rural America is dying, but anyone with the means is getting out of those mega cities too.
I think that these incidents do merit investigation, even though the ones in question didn't affected Hillary's loss.
Don't you?
Actually, no.
What merits investigation is why my tax dollars and my children's future earnings are spent on influencing elections in other countries.
Your top-down vs bottom-up influence is very insightful, and I think fairly accurate. It's certainly worthy of consideration.
Bottom-up seems to be viable only when enough data is available, so that one may target based on race/class/creed/gender. This data is only accessible in places with weak privacy laws. Thus people or regimes that want to suppress bottom-up influence have started to ban the major information gathering services. Think Chinese Facebook ban, or Spain having a court order remove anything about the Catalan referendum on the internet. It's probably a road Trump will take when someone figures it out, and he'll have a lot of support I'd imagine. I don't have a good answer, but you present a very real concept.
The Syrian war was started by American supported rebels and ISIS. The SDF (al Nusra, aka al Qaeda in Syria) has been supported by the Americans throughout the entire war, until Trump took office, when he promptly ended the CIA program which armed them. Are you saying the American government has been trying to achieve Russian geopolitical objectives since they invaded Iraq?
The problem with the Ukraine is the fact that it is currently controlled by Nazis. And I mean real Nazis, descendants of Hitlers group of Nazis. Look at the helmets of the Azov brigade. Spoiler alert: Russians hate Nazis more than you do. They had a really nasty war a long time ago. But hey, Joe Biden's son is on the board of the Ukraine energy company now, so apparently the Democrats have no problem with real Nazis.
What's wrong with Brexit and Catalan independence? Self determination and self rule are human rights. To take that away from people is tyranny or slavery. If Russia is supporting self determination and self rule, they are supporting freedom.
Politicians are trash, no one needs to do anything to impugn them, the politicians are quite capable of that on their own.
A Hilary Supporter means you support her without any reservation, meaning she could do illegal things, say stupid things and be incompetent and you would still vote for her.
A person that was making a decision about whether to vote for Hilary or Trump would not fall into this category. They are making a decision.
Hilary supporters can't be turned, much like Trump supporters cannot be turned. Otherwise you wouldn't be a 'supporter'.
I know it's insane, but I'm pretty sure that's what he means.
America is a country that kills people with remote control airplanes, without applying any due process, without charging them with a crime, without holding any type of trial.
Bush blew up a school with hundreds of children, Obama blew up a wedding with hundreds of civilians.
America accounts for 25% of the world's prison population, where a mere 5% of the global population lives.
Not one single person went to jail for the financial crisis in 2008.
And you fucking talk about the rule of law being broken NOW?
There is a reason a psychopath inhabits the White House. He is a perfect representation of a psychotic America.
Social security is basically cash flow negative next year.
Medicare is funded by an entity that loses a trillion dollars a year.
When they destroy it?
You dumb fuck - those programs have already been destroyed.

Does anyone remember paying Prodigy or GEnie a few bucks an hour for pseudo-internet time?
Going back to that model would likely improve things...
No mention of the SecureWorks analysis in the lawsuit..?

Was the most interesting assessment.

Then he probably should have convinced people to make a law about it, instead of manipulating regulatory enforcement systems to accomplish it.
Duly updated, will use a 30% figure in the future.
Methane is not produced by humans from an orifice on the face...
It's as if you are willfully ignoring the SCIENCE.
The war in Syria started because your government went around murdering innocent people, as well as arming violent people.
The party in power in the Ukraine is a direct political descendant of the Nazi party from WW2.
Well, the only thing that seems to get rid of politicians is sex abuse stuff that actually goes to court. Like that Weiner guy.
Other than that, ya pretty much.

You make absolutely no sense.

What happens when the battery runs out?
Actually only about 50% of the American population votes.
So no, only half the people are stupid loser voters, the other half are just stupid losers.
YMMV
So, they're just like any other ad?
May I interest you in this miracle anti-aging cream that I assure you will take years off your life?
We're not going back to being ruled by mega-cities anytime soon.
I'm pretty sure the plan is to let them die out, so the rest of us can get on with our lives.
Trump is a great way to accomplish that =)
Stop doing it to other countries, then we'll talk, you little bitch.
I happen to agree with you by the way.

That means you.
You sold your kids before they were even born.
With 20 trillion in debt, it's a little late to worry about them now.
Oh, unless Trump does manage to take the entire federal government with him.
That's basically the only hope for the children!
If you want to drive electric cars, you'll need electricity.
Consider every time you charge your Tesla, 32-33% of that charge comes from coal, in the US.
Can't have it both ways.
Morons.
Social security is basically cash flow negative next year.

You dumb fuck - those programs have already been destroyed.
In America, there are 127 million employed persons.
In America, the population is 324 million people.
You're telling me there are 197 million kids, college kids, people in between jobs and retirees?
RTFA
If kids could detect bullshit, wouldn't that undermine the entire student debt serf system?
