" If we all worked 10% less then our standard of living would fall roughly 10%"

Whoa! Amazing! Well, we work 40 hours a week, right? So imagine if we all worked 80 hours a week, all our standard of living would roughly double! It's an airtight case that for the best standard of living, we should all be working all our waking hours and that standard of living scales roughly linearly with however the fuck you've defined as work on the back of that beer soaked napkin you've got there.

My feeling today after having both learned some rust and working with people who know rust really well now - in an environment and industry in which we're all c/c++ heavy hitters and have plenty of reasons, both technical and inertia/career/ecosystem based to favor them - is that rust is coming for lunches. Comments like yours, I suspect it doesn't really matter for you in any economic sense, so it's easy for you to act like you know. Just know that you're wrong.

Harhar, but .. 25.44 billion revenue in 2023, 140 million penalty. If they want to "make it back" in a year, their average fare (@ $140 dollars in 2021 to pick a number) would increase by something less or around a dollar. I'm sure they're not happy about having to pay the penalty, but it probably doesn't move the needle on comparative pricing to the consumer.

"....China turns to nuclear power to try to meet carbon emissions goals....."

No, this is not why. They are not trying to meet any carbon emission goals. They have no goals, other than growing the economy and making it sanction proof.

Most American military believes that China's air quality has gotten so bad that the Chinese government is afraid of creating the first air quality government overthrow.

They are trying to control carbon emissions to keep from being defenestrated.

 

Where does this crazy idea come from, that the Chinese are fully sold on the climate emergency

You can meet carbon goals for reasons other than the environment.

 

Where do people get this wishful thinking about China from?

Do you actually get a towel to wring while you plead, for authenticity?
