If you don’t want to give up meat right away, at least consider stopping beef. One pound of beef is roughly equal to 8 pounds of pork, 10 pounds of chicken, and 20 pounds of tofu in CO₂ emissions.

Thanks, Obama

I think it's worth mentioning that both Denmark and Greenland likely would have welcomed more US military presence in the pre-Trump era.

The large and growing opposition to US presence in Greenland has largely grown out of the repeated explicit threats of military invasion and annexation, instead of just asking nicely.

The scary thing is how many Americans find these fascist optics and bullying tactics appealing and a display of "strength".

There are so many “map” websites for all sorts of niche things. Someone should make a “map map” to map out all the maps. Map.

Money is earned either by extracting rents/profits/taxes, through borrowing or by selling something. None of these have to actually create value.

You can advertise something without value and “earn” money selling it. The perceived value was created by advertising, but didn’t actually exist.

You can raise funds, sell at a loss, buy out the competition and later drive up prices without creating any value. This is how Amazon got started.

You can go to the bank, borrow money(increasing the money supply, driving inflation, thanks to fractional reserve banking), buy up houses (driving housing inflation), and extract rent without doing anything useful for your community.

In fact, cloud computing is largely that: buying up all the compute and renting it out to those without the capital to buy themselves.

A person can create value without earning money (parenthood, volunteering), and one can earn money without creating value (rent extraction), although the word “earn” is under a lot of strain.

Toilet paper and ammunition.

The titanic amount of generational neglect that has allowed even a fraction of voters to look at Trump for more than a second and find him qualified for any public office is truly fantastic.

This is one of the clear examples that Trump is seeing Putin's Russia as a model for his vision for the USA.
