One thing I don't understand is how US, Japan and S.Korea led high-tech outsourced manufacturing efforts in China. As far as I understand everything is hunky dory starting with _Good will_ from Deng, until China became world's manufacuting hub. Only then it became a huge issue. My question is didn't any one consider China's current rise in late 80's and early 90's when they started outsourcing manufacturing?

Correlated to that US would also lose its huge influence in financial institutions world wide. Right now US influnce is preventing World Bank funds from being used to pay for One Belt projects. Few countries want to pay off loans for One belt project using Western loans. If China had been sole superpower, it would have bulldozed even more on projects similar to One Belt project than it is currently doing now.

At the timescale and costs needed to combat climate change, trees will be prohibitively expensive(land, fresh water) and slow. If reducing global carbon with plants was easy, governments wouldn't probably be complaining about protocols, solutions for almost 3 decades starting with Kyoto discussions. Can we stop mentioning planting trees as ultimate solution everytime carbon capture research comes up?

But, are the meaningful changed regarding information, education etc. caused by US or inspite of US? Technology and Science improving tremendously in 20th century had more to do with these changes. I would say WWI and WWII caused more of these technology and travel being available.

And wait millions of years for that plants to turn in to coal and oil, drill oil for $$$

I'm not confident that Unions would work for huge issue that is coming up - Mass Mechanization. There will be very few jobs Robotics will not be able to replace in a decade or so. This will easily facilitate few people owning large chunks of means of production. I don't see any serious solutions to this issue on the horizon.

It's not just about throwing garbage into trash can. The main question is about how much of garbage is being recycled? And who will pay for the recycling if you mandate 5 different types of garbage and mandate maximum possible recycling? Many of the European countries have major focus on percentage of garbage being recycled. Some countries even reached 70% or so and have plans to increase it even further.

Same here. In addition, if I think I will visit certain website only once, I open it in private mode and disable umatrix for all domains in the site for a quick view.

Is TornadoFx supported native without JVM? AFAIK TornadoFx is just a layer around JavaFX. So, Kotlin/TornadoFx should use the same resources as Java+JavaFX.
