Nobody has ever died from nuclear waste.

Nuclear waste itself is a misnomer, there is no waste it’s just uneconomical to use at a certain point, it still has a ton of energy potential.

If people stopped being hysterical about a technology they don’t understand we could probably develop it.

Its definitely not capitalism. Our system survives by creating economic slaves, for instance the mortgage acts as a gatekeeper in the fiat system, by locking up economic value and an inelastic good in a form that can only be unlocked by completing the payment obligations.  Housing rises in price to max out the metaphorical bucket of whatever interest rates allow for debt accumulation, and property ownership is controlled by one’s ability to secure debt. This ensures that the financial system has a steady stream of obligations that help sustain the flow of currency, which helps drive aggregate demand.

The goal is to create a 2% inflation, as calculated by an index that excludes housing appreciation and investments, you require ever growing money supply.  Money supply is grown via debt accumulation, this then funnels down into foods and services, excluding substitutions and hedonic adjustments, reversing technological deflation, deriving a 2% inflation to a dynamic basket of goods. Housing works well for this because housing is finite and demand in inelastic; prices can rise faster than fundamentals, and it is therefore a liquidity sponge that is a necessary liability to take.

Mass transit actually does remove carbon and lasts a century, your Tesla is made using coal.

Maybe the stupid decision was helping the rich buy EV to replace their 2 year old Lexus, instead of funding mass transit?

Like why is the poor funding this to begin with, during a housing crisis none the less where we need mass transit more than ever.

Project 2025. The goal is to remove all tariffs and other limitations against the US.

Canada for instance has laws on antibiotics for dairy, foreign ownership for banks and telcos, various things like that. India has tariffs on everything.

The document outlines crazy things like capital punishment and a border wall, its clearly Trumps handbook. It’s all in there.

Elon Musk will be regarded with the likes of Leonardo da Vinci and Louis Pasteur in the history books.

Ah I see it just infers it will dip into it and doesn’t provide much detail, thank you kind sir.

What sentence in this article says who is suggesting this, I can’t find it.

Oh no, who will destabilize other country?

You can download the models and compile them yourself, that will be as effective as the US government was at banning encryption.

We need a liquidity sponge because for every person who saves money someone else must have a corresponding debt. Since the gold standard ended debt now has to grow, to create the new money supply to pay past debts.  The money you spend at the grocery store is somebody else’s debt, its somebody’s mortgage or bank loan, that you acquired by working a job to produce something that the newly issued currency desired.

If the next guy doesn’t take out debt, say because prices are falling, then the entire scheme unwinds, and we get a crisis. That money owed has already been spent several times, until it ends up in an equity, unmortgaged home, or bond, and outside of what the CPI uses to hold back money supply growth. If debt isnt taken out then rates will keep falling until someone is encouraged to borrow, in which case debt is securitized into a new supply of money, which creates the windfall that can be spent on consumer goods to derive a 2% inflation.

If debt does keep accumulating you can extract the cantillon effect, as long as the next guy in line takes out debt past debts are inflated away and your past debt is paid off.  As people realize this phenomenon they are then willing to sign up for ever larger debts, and you get a bubble in asset prices, because we treat promises of future money the same as present money. So in my opinion its the monetary system that is the main cause of the growing wealth inequality, and the farther we get from the gold standard the worse it will get.
