No. I do not. The polar deserts are becoming valuable real estate. I don't need to persuade anyone of anything. I need to secure property rights, build fences and buy guns to protect my claim from those who clued in late. I'm really just making conversation.
The Nigerians are just mad that the crypto bros are better scammers.
I heard about this Nigerian Prince who has about $50k in crypto, but is having trouble converting it to cash. If you loan him $10k so he can bribe people to get his money out, he'll pay you back *plus* $20k. Sounds like a deal...
For current meateaters, they will only switch en mass if the vat-meat is cheaper.
Do not forget the taste.

Automakers Are Sharing Consumers' Driving Behavior With Insurance Companies

If you've got more information on an article that's already been posted, you really ought to put it in a reply to that article, rather than posting another article....
You are creating poverty for no good reason.
You are wrong. There is no evidence to support the assertion that climate change from fossil fuels is rendering the planet less hospitable. If you research the Paleocene Eocine Thermal Maximum, you will see that the opposite is true.
Fuck all the deadbeats who made poor decisions, didn't pay their bills,
Even those who were defrauded or victims of administrative errors or who are totally and permanently disabled?
Did you even read TFS?
History is full of scaremongering (often termed FUD) where a group with a major financial interest in maintaining some status-quo tries to make an argument about how bad some looming decision will be "for everyone", and how some industry will be destroyed and vanish if regulated. But upon closer inspection, the "industry" they are referring to is currently operating in coordinated, abusive behaviors that are making it hugely profitable, and the proposed regulation or oversight is threatening to rein that in to a more reasonable and fair practice. This isn't going to "destroy" the industry, but will end the heyday they're currently enjoying, and restore balance to the market they're in. And that's actually what they're fighting to prevent, or at least slow down.
Scientific publishing is the industry in question here, and it ticks all the boxes. It's hugely profitable, is standing on the shoulders of hard-working people, and is siphoning huge money from both the supply and demand sides of the industry to fatten the publishers. None of this is serving the public good. Their "happy times" are coming to an end, and they'll be fighting us tooth-and-nail to make it last as long as they can before the balance is restored and their cash cow wanders off into the sunset. This isn't about protecting an industry, it's about squeezing as much bonus profit as possible out of a broken system before someone manages to repair it.
It's not not closer.
To be more accurate: If we don't even know where it is, we can't know how close we are to finding it.
I humbly suggest a British Museum search of the World.
In what universe are you living? President Biden rides his bike and does other exercises to stay fit and healthy. The con artist sits his fat ass in a golf cart and regularly eats junk food.
You forgot "and whines about things being unfair" and "blames everyone else rather than himself for his problems" for the latter.
But, to be fair, excepting the golf bit, which of those two universes do you think most of his base lives in?
In general though the most troubling aspect of 2020+ politics is you seemingly cannot have a conversation where Trump OR Biden is referenced without the other side bringing up "well one time your guy did this, so there. I win, and I'm very, very clever".
Of course, Biden was first elected to the Senate when he was 29, so there's been a lot of time (52 years) to accumulate bad/crazy shit on him. Trump's only been doing this for about 9 and there's (probably) an equal, if not higher, amount of bad/crazy shit. He even hit the ground running in his speech at the bottom of that escalator in 2015.
Yes, the Supreme Court did some rather interesting legal yoga to ensure Trump could remain on the ballot and that it would be difficult to remove him, even by Congress itself.
