Brexit was mainly about people thinking their crap lives might be transformed by doing X. See other recent political movements for attempts to fix anything but the broken capitalist model!

To be fair, they haven't offered to pay for any of the training material they harvested or the redundancies they'll cause either!

There's a lot to be said about games that don't turn the computer fan into a jet engine!

Carbon credits probably made sense at the time too but became corrupted. Like I say, in principle it could be good but there are are far too many examples of similar measures not working. On the opposite side of the coin, EU subsidies were paid for land that could be used for agriculture, meaning that cunning farmers cleared huge swathes of ancient forest in order to leave unused and unworked - a licence to print money

I have tracks that I can listen to daily as they are somewhat unchallenging. It seems wrong on some level to reward that artist more generously than actual geniuses - based purely on volume, some white noise track may end up hoovering up half the artist revenue!

shame if something was to happen to it! This has common sense written all over it - after all the UK for example used to be heavily forested and it seems hardly fair to make other countries freeze development at some arbitrary level/time. You just know this is just going to devolve into greenwashing and extortion though!

As opposed to a degree that might be completely unrelated to the job plus $100k of debt?

I'm in favour of grants being given with zero strings attached. It doesn't really matter what the conditions are, as soon as you let some faceless bureaucrat start dictating the makeup of your team, you politely refuse the cheque

We have eight billion batteries I think you mean!

It's almost like slashing public spending and leaving the nearest trading bloc is a shockingly shortsighted idea

Kids missed out on a lot of socialisation during the lockdown era and I'd estimate that adults today spend considerably less time on average in conversations than a decade ago - verbal skills just seem to be in decline, maybe hastened by the move to typing rather than talking? Just a thought. The limited verbal skills added to the lack of filter that social media brings enhances my perception that society is becoming stupid!

I love my retro gaming but $150 for this? I guess it's a fancy paperweight, since nobody is playing this for more than an hour

Not only do you get an overly heavy car stuffed with an expensive and resource-hungry battery but you still get to pollute cities as you drive. Face it, these cars are simply greenwashing

Has any country really got a profitable economy or is it a giant game of Jenga, with every country borrowing to make the figures look good??!

Since the blog post didn't sound convincing I tracked the story back a level or two: https://www.macobserver.com/ne... Why anyone felt the need to muck about with a calculator is anyone's guess I suppose!
