Trump doesn't care about renewable energy as such.

Trump owns a golf course in Scotland. Scotland made an offshore wind farm that was visible from that golf course. Trump considered it an eyesore and Scotland didn't care about his protests.

This was a Slight. This was an Insult. Trump decided to hate windmills with a vengeance the same way he hates anyone who has ever slighted him.

With more options far from home it's also possible that the generation of working age sought greener pastures while their parents stayed where they were, tending eg. a farm until their bodies gave out. It wasn't possible for the kids then to take care of their parents and maintain their job far away, if they even knew about the parents' troubles before it was too late to do anything.

That would be because even some of the worst written fan fiction is, at its core, written from a place of love. Of admiration. This will always shine through in the text, that even if the story doesn't make sense and is really just a vehicle to see two characters get in bed together the author actually *cares*.

No AI is ever going to care.

I have been listening to this 'not all Americans' handwashing for a decade at this point, if not more. Seems like it started during the Tea Party days. And you know what? I'm getting kinda tired of hearing it. You are more concerned with pointing out it's not your fault than trying to FIX it.

When you borrowed it at the library a small but non-zero royalty payment went to the author. Same when it was played on the radio, paid for by advertising, media tax, or however your radio station of choice is financed.

Take a look at the story about Nvidia trying to get high-speed access to a library of pirated books.
