Thiel is, like Musk, someone who wants to change the world for the worse because he thinks he knows better. Altman simply wants wealth.
I personally think that Musk is worse. Altman is a pretty much run-off-the-mill CEO, no different from thousands of others. Musk, however, has delusions of grandeur, an urge to change the world, and a worldview that is severely skewed due to slippage of sanity. The worst kind of nutcases are those who think that it is the world that is crazy and needs fixing, not them, and actually have the means to follow up on it.
Right back at you. They were only extremely wealthy in comparison to the piss poor normal people. But living as kings - nope. Seriously, take a look at the photos of their homes and dachas. Take a look at the photos of their parties. Middle management, doctors and top engineers in the west used to live better back then and even more so nowadays. This is nothing like the excesses of russian oligarchs.
The soviet and GDR ultra rich would have been called upper middle class in the west.
It is the other way round. The whole base load concept only exists because coal and nuclear suck at load following. If all power generation is capable of load following, base load is moot.
The treaties between Switzerland and the EU are all interlinked, so if Switzerland decides to exit one treaty, this will make all the other ones void as well. But I think this is exactly what SVP wants - they wish Switzerland was an island far away from any other coast.

The first one had nothing to do with the orange shitgibbon.
The UK is nowhere near the only country where the price for electricity is based on the most expensive generation. It is the same in Germany at the very least.
Even that is nowhere near far left. Far left is workers owning the means of production and so on.
I presume you don't have to worry about vehicle inspection?
I am not wealthy by any definition, rent a flat, have no garage and no second car, just my Hyundai Inster. And will rather use public transport than get a car that burns fuel.
Aren't you tired of whining about how electric cars are bad since they are impractical in some edge cases that don't even apply to you over and over and over again in every slashdot discussion about electric cars? Or are you being paid for doing this?
Oh yea, i remember those. Very unreliable.
