No mention of precision fermentation.
I think a huge shift is coming to our food. Even if it’s easy things like milk, olive oil, palm oil.
But I think it’s coming for meat and I think it’s going to be the best thing to happen to the environment ever.
This has a huge potential to link up incredibly well with walking, cycling, micro mobility and trains and not to mention high density housing and/or green land. I hope that it is acted on.
In every culture I have read about they have men bonding together. It only seems like recently in the west male only bonding is though of almost as a crime.
I think male bonding is exceptionally important for happiness and development. Preventing male loneliness is more important than dealing with the issues of loneliness. But it seems more common to speak for men than listen to men.
It’s all about immigration and housing.
I’m pretty fair left. It’s weird that traditionally left leaning parties were about housing as jobs. But they seem to have lost their way.
The more you care about certain things the more you have to vote right because the left got their head in the sans.
The us government has said corporations are legally required to maximise profit for the shareholders.
Again government issue.
That’s a government issue.
E.g. a carbon tax will solve a lot of problems, or a tax on waste like plastic. It is very very unpopular with the public though so the government can’t put it in place for fear of being voted out.
German people have genuine concern about lots and lots of people coming in and changing the fabric of society in a way they don’t want.
It is also putting an increased stress on housing, depression on wages, higher tax burden and if the data is like what’s coming out of Denmark higher crime too.
The only people that benefit are the land owners and the business owners.
These are genuine issues that the left act like they aren’t real. Then they wonder why people who are listening to peoples issues get votes.
What do this corporations do to cause 80% of emissions? Just burn it for fun?
No. They make products and services that people buy. Making out people play no part in this doesn’t help anyone.
It implies that a person’s country of origin plays a factor in whether or not they can be considered a “good” immigrant.
No. This is the bit that you all make out is what is going on and it isn’t. It’s an outright lie of what people think the issue is.
Good and bad individual immigrants can come from anywhere that much is obvious, no one is ever saying otherwise.
Not as a view as hard data. Governments have collected information on groups of people. They can group people by country so they absolutely have said immigrants from country A as a whole contribute more in taxes than they take out and commit less crime than locals. They also say immigrants from country B take more in taxes than they contribute and commit more crimes than locals.
You can’t deny that.
And this is where people think everyone on the left or fair left is mental for wanting such high levels of immigration from countries that have been shown in unbiased data that they make the country worse (as a whole obviously). It isn’t racist to want more from country A than B.
This says nothing of immigration causing wage suppression and housing price inflation. Of course that’s going to happen its basic supply and demand.
You know that immigration is a net positive for every western nation right?
That’s an intentionally misleading statement and is said in bad faith because you can use some stats to make it look like it is good but the full picture can tell a completely different story. But some people like this narrative and stick with it no matter what.
It depends what you value. If you only care about increasing GDP, keeping business strong by reducing wages, increasing population and increasing rent and land values then yes. Though GDP has been shown to decrease even with record high immigration so that’s great.
If you care about GDP per capita, or even better Discretionary income then no. If you care about crime the or tax contribution then governments that have released the data show some countries are much better than others.
You can say all these XXXjobs are filled because we don’t have enough at home. But the issue is we don’t hire enough, there aren’t enough places to fill the jobs so we are forced to get foreigners in from our own policies. Wouldn’t we we better educating and investing in our own people, rather than giving the job they want and can do to another person? If you value culture immigration can be bad.
It’s such a varied topic but the left has a mantra:
“Immigration is good from any country in the world and if you have any reservations what so ever you’re racist”.
Nothing else matters. The conversation is so horrifically closed down by the left that anyone that thinks lowering immigration is good for the country has to look at the fair right.
The longer all the other parties bury their head in the sand about immigration the more the far right gains votes.
It’s one of the biggest issues for people in the West but the left like to pretend none of the real negatives exist.
Would be good to see a left leaning party care about immigration.
I’m worried about pain. Also pain lasting a long/ permanent time.
Also I had epididymitis already. So maybe I shouldn’t go for it.
But too many guys get lied to and end up with a kid they didn’t want. That’s my biggest worry.
Everest does not look fun.
I struggle to see why people go.
Utility scale storage has already taken off.
But yea this could be a huge jump in the market.
What does that even mean?
So propping up the housing market by keeping population artificially increasing or keeping wages low by hiring lower paid foreign workers isn’t bad for the working population? What about increasing crime or cost to the government. Both of which have been recorded in government stats (though one is Danish).
“The capitalist” if anything want immigration. You want higher wages, better jobs and cheaper housing you want less immigration.
You’re all blinded by what you wish the world was like.
Pretty much everything people opposing immigration said came true.
“Last year, Texas overtook California in large-scale solar power capacity. When huge amounts of solar power rush onto the grid, batteries tend to follow. Now, Texas is building more grid batteries than California, the longtime undisputed leader in clean energy storage.”
I actually meant grid level expansion. But that too.
All they have done is free market supply and demanded the grid. That’s why Texas has more solar than any other state, the market is working. Though it does have some downsides.
Also a lot of people don’t use trains because of the last mile problem. (And because in america specifically they are a lower standard than they were in the 1800’s).
But if people could get a lift to the station and then to work. Or get the train 10 times a week and get a lift to and from the supermarket once a week without needing to buy a car. That will be a huge reclamation of space.
Could even be like a 10 lane (total) motorway going to two train lines and a two lane road. Not to mention the space it frees on minor roads.
