Comment Gen Z grew up using content consumption devices (Score 1) 88

80 year olds didn't grow up with computers, and a lot of them never adapted. We know this, easy answer. Gen Z also did not really "grow up with computers" in the way most of us here did: they grew up using content consumption devices like phones. Gen Z by and large don't even know how a filesystem works because of this. It's worse for them than the 80s year olds because at least the old people remember the thing a file system is based on and know how drawers and folders work.

So it's really not a surprise that there is yet another way in which they aren't very good with "computers". They also don't care, likely beause most of these account aren't something to care about.

That's still fixable. Just like how most computers are air cooled and not water cooled. They could build a very large air cooling tower and not need water at all.

Cooling from cheap to expensive:
1. Take in water, return water some amount hotter. Requires the most water to limit temperature rise.
2. Take in water, evaporate some of the water in a cooling tower. Results in less water, but also takes less water and controls temperature rise better
3. Dry cooling.

Most systems are actually something of a hybrid of the three.

You're being trolled anf just. can't. stop. responding. "You people" and "people like you:" "everyone".....surely those are the wrong ones. Not me, the person who has to "other" people I do'nt know because they made me feel sad by telling me the ideas I have that "everyone" else says are stupid are stupid. You are a waste of time. Enjooy your shaking impotent rage fit.

They wouldn't have needed to renegotiate because they would have had equity if the lending standards weren't so lax. Remeber: the securitization turned into it's own business that required more inputs (mortgages) so the lending stnadards were reduced. If the lending standard weren't reduced the houses would have mostly been worth more than what was owed on them or these low/no down payment products wouldn't have gone to people to who were "judgement proof".

This is another post from someone who doesn't know what's happening in China.

They are in the midst of an accounting scandal and financal fraud by EV manufacturers that are overproducing and claiming "sales" of vehicles that are not sold, but merely delivered to dealers who then sell these new cars as "used". If you're paying attention you've seen these tactics before.

Stop laundering your feelings and ideology as facts when they clearly aren't.

They are absolutely dumping cars. Try reading more news from China before commenting on what they are or are not doing (hint: it's heading towards and accounting scandal where EV manufacturers are climing "sales" as they ship undols cars to dealerships which are then being sold as "used" with 0 miles on them - this is typical Chinese corruption that we've all seen before). The rest of your post is completely irrelevant to the story at hand.
