Nationalise energy production.
We'd run of our uranium that's economical to extract using current technology and at current prices. All known mineral reserves could power the world on exclusively nuclear energy for several thousand years at least.
Per megawatt of generated energy, coal releases significantly more radioative waste into the environment than nuclear does.
The biggest enemy of the left is the right, it's just that everyone on the left can agree that they're terrible so it doesn't come up in discourse too much, whereas the people who are on your side but want to do things a different way will take up much more of your attention.

It's not weird that it specifies a computer program, the use of the term to mean the standard option comes from computing. It's the value chosen when the computer defaults, as in fails to pay it's debt (in this case debt being the value it was looking for).
I don't think there's any evidence to suggest that people prefer meat because it's the default option and not the other way around.

You could, but the only reason to do so would be to accommodate a small minority's ethical dietary decisions, which is the opposite of a default.
No one's going to chose the slop so there's no point in having it.
As for subway, their menu is largely determined by sales. They do trial other options occasionally, and the ones that are popular stay.
The units of time we use come from a bronze age civilisation that used base twelve instead of base ten. They'd count on their hands using the finger joints of one for single digits, and then the joints of the other for multiples.

Humans don't need anything but nutrient slop to survive, but the prisons aim for something better largely because it keeps riots down.

Why would the default be the diet of a small minority?
you have a persecution complex to rival the christofash's.

While this reads like a Sony advert, I have to agree.
Add to that, the Russia air-defense systems have proven very effective.
Proven effective against cold-war era planes maybe. There have been a few improvements in the past 50 years. Those same Russian air-defence systems proved themselves effectively useless against the F-117 in the Balkans, and the F-35 is miles above the F-117.
Vietnam and Korea proved that 1950s and 1970s era technology was not up to the task, not that it was not possible. The main issue with both was the lack of accuracy.
The US can't sustain minor campaigns of shelling random cities in the Global South without running out of munitions.
"Running out" in this case meaning dipping below normal stockpile levels.
Yes, but mainly that's because NATOs ammo production was very limited. The factories are all designed to be scaled up massively in times of need, but pre-2022, NATO was barely producing enough to maintain stockpiles.
NATO doctrine relies heavily on airpower for any large military conflict. The NATO ground armies might be relatively small, but their combined air forces are qualitatively superior in every metric and at minimum three times larger than any potential opponent. 10k people can hold off 500k when they have a giant arsenal of precision guided weapons and complete control of the air.
What we are seeing with ludicrously over valued companies like Tesla and cryptocurrencies is what Marx described as fictitious capital.
The US is not going to collapse from investor shock, its produces a huge surplus of food and oil, and the use of its military to enforce the dollar as the world's reserve currency protects it from market crises since the whole world subsidises the federal reserve simply printing more money.
Senators used to be appointed, and the House of Lords can no longer check the house of Commons, only delay.
Not religious, but if it works it works. Clearly there is joy in faith for some people.
A dystopia is properly a utopia with one critical flaw.
