I posted an opinion about blockchain technology and it got downvoted which is exactly representative of the sentiment. Truly unpopular opinions here get downvoted.

Holy shit this had me laughing hard. Someone paid $3k for that shit? 😂

This is what happens when you let billionaire leeches like Elon make decisions rather than real engineers.

You understand, I appreciate you. Realize you are thinking for yourself and you represent an individual who would make the world a better place if you speak loud.

Why do you think it would be one blockchain?

Yes, that's included within "blockchain technology".

That logic makes no sense. He IS in jail, and thus it kept the system honest. He's an individual dishonest shithead and used blockchain technology to scam people. That doesn't make all blockchain technology a scam.

"Blockchain has two distinctive features that make it a potent tool against corruption. First, it provides an unprecedented level of security of the information and the integrity of records it manages, guaranteeing their authenticity. It eliminates opportunities for falsification and the risks associated with having a single point of failure in the management of data. It also helps overcome the data silos in traditional bureaucracies in which public entities are reluctant to share information among themselves."

Again I nailed it. Downvoted with no comments saying it's a popular opinion. A true unpopular opinion.

No it doesn't, I think it should have a VAT that is specifically for luxury items like yachts and private jets.

Yea that makes sense. There's around $8.5 trillion of untaxed capital gains. Inheritance tax would be good. Some type of interest tax on unrealized capital gains would be interesting. I still think VAT is still helpful, rich people do still spend money on expensive shit.

None of this is meant to be what I think is going to happen, it's what I think should happen. I like thinking about solutions. Congress isn't actually capable of implementing this stuff because it's corrupt as shit and we're headed towards a recession.

I think I'll add "abolish the filibuster" on v3. Senators make more money from their owners/donors than their salary anyway.

The last 2 items on the list help with that.

Actually funny you mention that. Initially it was bad, but as time has gone on it’s arguable that the Chernobyl exclusion zone has actually helped the ecosystem in the area because humans aren’t around. https://www.unep.org/news-and-stories/story/how-chernobyl-has-become-unexpected-haven-wildlife

Also, nuclear reactors aren't built that way anymore, and all the RBMK nuclear reactors have been fixed so they aren't able to experience that again.

No, they aren’t. It’s basic math if you count how many House reps each state has by their population, it’s not equal. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_congressional_apportionment

By the 2020 census:

Delaware has 1 House rep and a population of 989,946.

Alaska has 1 House rep and a population of 733,391.

No they aren't.

A nuclear power plant does produce deadly products.

Those potentially deadly products can be stored in a safe way. Your link doesn't even claim that it's actively killing people. They claim that it's costly to build geologic repositories, and once they're built you don't need more for a long time. Meanwhile coal power plants are directly putting deadly waste into people's lungs.
