  • They need competition. But the imported cars are being heavily subsidized by China to build the market.

    Maybe let the tiny cars in? Because there's minimal competition there at the moment and people would buy the heck out of a cheap small car. Maybe will push market in right direction

  • I've found that music can work too - but it really has to be the right type of music. I don't know the right terms, but basically songs that are slow in tempo and don't have high notes. As an example: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9LhmrVaFlo
    It takes some work, but building a list is as simple as putting songs on and remiving the songs your brain latches onto and keeping those thag just fade into the background

  • I think you're placing too much value on the label in this discussion.
    E.g., you could make houses out of redwood beams back in the day. It was great - insect resistant, fire resistant. Lasts a long time. Problem is that these trees take much too long to grow, and there's no way they're coming back any time soon. You're mining a nonrenewable resource and you're going to run out (and also kill an ecosystem). That's an unsustainable business practice.
    Also, people are much more disposable oriented than you seem to be considering. Japanese houses last for like 20 years before they're considered in need of replacement. I've seen a brand new house in the US, 3 years old, be razed and rebuilt because the rich owner wanted the building made his way, and not the way the former owner built it.

  • Traditional capitalism back in the day was sweatshops and traveling snake oil salesmen.
    In modern times, that's sweatshops in India and drug ads on TV with 'tiny text of 'This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.'
    For sustainability - we clearcut forests and filled coastlines without restraint - that's not sustainable and we had to stop because there aren't as much left.
    I don't think the last is necessarily the source of goodness that you seem to think it is.

  • So, someone please take this idea and do it. Make one of these campaigns, but be very careful to make it neutral language. E.g., pay legal fees related to the case of state of NY against trump enterprises LLC or etc. And for the reason that it was an unfair that all these funds had to be expended on this outrageous lawsuit.
    All sounds legit, right?
    Except the sponsor writes a check to state of NY general fund.

  • The only thing he can do to be successful is to pass bills with support from some Dems, and that are going to lead to a vote to dethrone him. So he can't do anything. And he can't pin down the right flank on any issue so he can't promise passage of any vote.
    But he and every member of the hous knew all of this before the election.
