Its because cash doesn't generate interest. Also, you are also confusing 2 different things: tax differences between income and capital gains, and the tax dodging schemes the rich use for consumption. The first thing is about keeping capital in the US where it is taxed. The second thing completely doesn't matter as 99.9% of the wealthy's assets will never be used for consumption. You can close that loophole but it changes nothing. Even if the rich don't find a new loophole, the amount of tax generated would be a rounding error.

Your own self-loathing aside but do you seriously think that just throwing random insults and showing complete and total ignorance of accounting, taxes, economic systems and general life is a good look? You don't even bother to give an argument, you just throw insults. Here is the truth, you are a selfish loser who will never accomplish anything and so you want to take from those that do. Now fuck off...

You seem to think that the rich have giant piles of cash somewhere. Generally this isn't true, instead it is stored in large quantities of stock or other assets. Also, regular people save money too in much the same way. So your idea about consumption being the only way money can "do work" just isn't true. Also, if the rich spent their money like you seem to want, all it would do is drive up prices of luxury assets which creates yet another bubble. Basically, your entire idea just isn't how the world actually works and I don't see how it translates to actual public policy in any way that doesn't cause a huge financial crisis. In truth, you just don't like something about your life and so you choose to blame nebulous "others" instead of looking at yourself and why you aren't happy. Also, grifting on grievance politics is quite profitable lately. Maybe you should go on X and make some cash with your trolling instead of bothering us here.

Sure there are alternative energy like solar, wind, and a few others for local source (geothermal, and river dams). But the main one solar and wind are not considered base load. Until battery tech is better and/or widespread, nuclear is pretty much the only non fossil base load energy generation.

If it was about health outcome, we would shift our time to adapt to the sun. But we don't we have, for example, 8h-17h always , winter and summer. That's what is unhealthy - our biology is adapted to do our activity with sun rise/sun set - not with a fix time DST or not does not change that much.

Quiet a few astronomical observation on very distant galaxy (so ancient light) shows that some of the fine structure constant did not change with time, or changed less than 10^-5 of its value (https://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/9803165), maybe somebody has a more recent article on whether that alpha change was confirmed or not.

"Car thefts in San Francisco are down almost 59% for the first eight months of 2026"

And car fuel price exploded. I think this is a far more likely correlation.

Leftism doesn't mean anything at all really. The terms left and right have no real political definitions. That's how you are lumping Liberals and Socialists into the same bucket even though they don't actually agree on anything really. Also, your use of the term 'anti-imperialist' only makes me think you have extremist politics. Plus you clearly don't understand the definition of what an empire does or how it behaves (hint, empires crave land and don't leave after it is occupied). You only use such terms to anger others to further your own aims. Its shallow and transparent and you don't fool anyone when you do that.

NPR's Planet Money looked at a grocery store in Norway. They had a reporter sitting in the store's HQ, and they had received a secret shopper report that a particular product (can of mushrooms in water) was 0.20 Kroner less at a competitor. The reporter watched the price get updated in the chain's central database, then ran down to the store that was below the HQ and saw the shelf tag change about 9 minutes later.

That particular store has a policy of not increasing prices while the store was open, they could only lower them.

Stores will have to set good policies and follow them. Stores open 24/7 will probably have to have set times to raise prices.

They are not trying to protect you or anybody. The idea IMO in those dire warning are:
1) make a lot of noise and dire warning
2) get congress to pass the "responsible AI act (TM)" which will only allow "responsible model"
3) Only the local US grown model are declared "responsible model"
4) China and other country are naturally excluded
5) ask politician to put sanction on those who use "irresponsible model"
6) profit.

I always figured that people who genuinely believed their employers were likely to kill literally everybody in the near future might burn down a bit more than that, but so far it's mostly been tweets

Having to poke through an about: page and find the thing to toggle to turn off this specific AI feature but not that one, and knowing they'd change it on you a couple of releases later, never filled me with confidence.

One switch in a readily discoverable location in the settings menu and it's all gone? Just the job, killed it now on the laptop and the mobile both.

If that's true, why does the US military make the Pu-239 that the US uses for its bombs in special reactors that don't make power? Why does Russia have special reactors for making H-3 for the Tritium boosting of their Hydrogen bombs? Oh wait, its not true and you have no idea what you are talking about. What is true is if you make a really cheap type of NPP that uses natural uranium (yellow cake) then it naturally makes a lot of Pu-239 and you can process that out rather easily. However, this plant will need more safety precautions and have more downtime than the type of reactor the US uses, makes and sells. If you use enriched fuel, you make less Pu-239 and it becomes not a very efficient way to make enriched Pu-239. If you use Th-232, then it makes almost no Pu-239 and you don't have any proliferation risk.

Current reactors (designed mostly in the 1960s) don't load-follow (that's the term for a power source that can quickly change levels). Coal doesn't load-follow either for reference. Hydro does, renewable actually make the balancing problem worse and natural gas is usually used to balance that out. You can have reactors that load follow but its just cheaper and easier to use hydro and gas for that. What makes that problem worse are renewables and any grid with more than 20% renewables is going to have problems (see Spain).

Learn what capacity factor is. Then you will realize why your calculations are hilariously off. Just for reference, solar and wind have about 3.5x the utilization cost which is what you actual pay for power. You are looking at capacity cost, and the only person who cares about capacity cost is the CFO of the utility company. That's why advocates always intentionally tell you capacity cost which doesn't matter. This is why your power bill is so much higher (about 2x) than it was 8 years ago in CA. Renewable aren't actually cheap. They just use an accounting trick to make you think they are. NPPs are still the best use of nuclear power. They were when you were born. They will be when you die. The laws of physics don't change. The only change is the name of the politician who will be lying about that because most people are scientifically illiterate and scaring people gets easy votes.

Pure ignorance. There were over a dozen workable solutions. Politicians...mostly from one party consistently tanked those ideas. There was Yucca Mountain. That would work. There was reprocessing it, that would work. There was putting making it into a glass, that worked.

What they did do at this site was put it into big blocks of concrete, this also works fine. Also, not to point out the obvious, but this storage area is on top of a 60 ft cliff. So the idea that this will suddenly fall into the sea, probably not without a pretty huge earthquake (as in 10x the size as any seen on the west coast). Of course you can just put the concrete containers on a truck and move them inland. That works too. This isn't even a hard problem.
