Garbage.

70-90 year old "science" is valid?!?!

70 years ago smoking was promoted as being healthy, plastics were a wonder product with no hazards, seat belts weren't required in cars, electronic circuits wouldn't get much smaller, there were only a handful of computers, satellites didn't exist.

" anthropogenic climate change" is a theory, not a fact. It's also very, very, very shaky because it's based on cherry-piking data. It's quite easy to "disprove" a theory which is based on accurate data from an incredibly small fraction of time. Every claim of temperature that's more than about 100 years old is an extrapolated guess. For that matter, the records of "accurate" measuring devices are very inconsistent because they don't account for plenty of changes around the measuring devices.

At that time, Vegas was a place where millions of suckers flew in every year on their own nickel and left behind about a billion dollars. But at night, you couldn't see
the desert that surrounds Las Vegas. But it's in the desert where lots of the town's problems are solved.

Got a lot of holes in the desert, and a lot of problems are buried in those holes. Except you gotta do it right. I mean, you gotta have the hole already dug before you show up with a package in the trunk. Otherwise, you're talking about a half hour or 45 minutes of diggin'. And who knows who's gonna be comin' along in that time? Before you know it, you gotta dig a few more holes. You could be there all fkn night.

Comment So...refuse to hold "employers" responsible? (Score 2) 211

Seems like this is blaming the symptom, not the cause.

Perspective from a Gen X entrepreneur:

Most "employers" are staffed with people who do not understand the primary principle of long-term success, let alone productive culture.

Gen Zers don't want to entangle themselves with people who cosplay business with lousy personal lives and crushing debt.

Sam, I would have saved you 180 million USD if you'd asked how to meet the stated goal.

Tell you what, how about you cut me a check for 1 million USD because this will save even more waste and reach the stated goal:

U.S. average lifespan is about 10 years less than that of people who live in countries with stricter food purity laws.

Outlaw the food additives (6 months to phase out, not a year or two, which looks like the FDA trying to prevent change while giving lobbyists time to bribe cancellation of the changes) and move to local small-scale farming and baking, including smart hydroponics; not the electricity gobbling motorized tower buildings (which might have been a way to discredit hydroponics.)

Bonus: Create local jobs and reduce energy and pollution from long-distance transportation.
