  • I think that they believe, because of the money they have, that they can find ways to mitigate a lot of the effects of climate change.

    Aircondition, all sorts of high end isolation, the ability to afford fresh food and water that's becoming too expensive for us normies, being able to just move to whatever place on the planet that is still nice to live, ...

  • I said most of Europe, not all of Europe.

    I'm well aware that AC is common to have in the south but then you're talking about like 4 countries. Once you move north of those, it's not all that common to have an AC in the house.

  • Because for most of Europe, it wasn't needed to have AC up until more recent years. You would have maybe what? 5-10 days a year that were actually really warm. People wouldn't install an AC for that.

    These numbers will drastically change the coming decades.

  • Yeah pretty good overall. :)

    Working from home full-time, manager leaves me alone because he acknowledges I'm doing a good job and is happy to let me do things my way. Spend some time with my little one today, just keeping an eye on my emails.

    Weather's nice so will likely fire up the grill later 👍

  • I've had a conversation with someone on Reddit about this some years back.

    They basically explained that people are being told that healthcare/social security is socialism and they're being told that socialism is just communism under a different name and therefore is bad.

  • Yeah I never understood that ( I'm from Scandinavia or as your conservatives describe it - that socialist hellhole ). I recall seeing a study some years ago that the US spends many billions a year more on healthcare than it would with universal healthcare.

    So what if my taxes pay for the treatment of someone's cancer? It goes the opposite way too, healthcare that I need is being paid for as well and nearly everyone needs some sort of hospital or emergency care at least once in their life - regular doc appointments likely once or twice a year. Over here, I make an appointment and walk out without paying or even seeing the bill.

  • I would simplify taxes as being the cost of being part of society and therefore the tax money should be put back into that society to benefit the people being part of it. Healthcare, education, maintenance of public roads/buildings/parks/...
