  • I agree with you somewhat but that's not how that works. Elmo's net worth also includes the value of the shares he has in Tesla, for example. If he starts selling those for real money he'd never be able to get the current actual value for them because it would melt the stock prices for Tesla harder than climate change is murdering all of us.

    He does have those values available to do things like get loans against it, but it's not like it's money in the bank

    Also, twitter is hemorrhaging money and users, and isnwroth only a fraction of the 40 something billion he bought it for, and making very little. Meanwhile, rent for those loans will likely be close to a billion and twitter will never ever again make even a fraction of that so yeah, that's done.

    Tesla is going off a cliff as well.

    I'm still predicting that Elmo will be hitting bankruptcy within the next few years, and with that, the hawks will pick his bones

  • The Bible teaches that those people are worthy of death. They are supposed to be executed by the government. We are not to take the law into our own hands.

    But, you know, if someone were to take matters in their own hands, we'll just wash out hands in innocence and act like we didn't do anything

  • Cool

    Injection of sulfuric acid into the atmosphere (and maybe other solutions) may, at some point, be a requirement for humans and the entire biodome to survive global warming. It won't fix it, but it may delay it enough for us to apply other solutions.

    But fucked up mtg of course wants humanity to die out so here we are

    It's amazing to see how many stupid people are out there

  • We donthat because we found that wide roads make people drive faster unconsciously. If you design roads badly, people will speed, it will be dangerous. Design roads better and you save lives.

    Putting up signs is what most countries have done for decades with exactly 0 results.

    A slightly different post had road fatalities in a graph for the US, Canada, and Australia, showing insane levels of road deaths. A secondary graph was added showing the Netherlands at a fraction of those countries, even though the Netherlands is much more densly populated.

    Wanna know why? Because the Netherlands does this all the time. Any time an intersection has a lot of accidents, they break up the damn thing and put in a completely newly designed one, and traffic deaths go down. A road has too much speeding? They'll tear out that crap, put in a new road designed in such a way that people will automatically drive the correct speed et voila, speeding stops, Ross fatalities go down

    That's why you want to do that

  • This is something that has been proven over and over. Make the roads smaller and people automatically start driving slower.

    Sure, thereay still be an eventually asshole but with the right design you could make a risky (for you) 80 in a 60 zone, but you can't do 100 because you wouldn't make it. That already helps curbing the worst but it's also a psychological thing that makes most people slow down to the speed that you want. It's much more effective than speeding cameras but it doesn't make money

  • Because its true?

    Barely anything had been done these past decades and the result is that boat loads of people now believe conspiracy crap over the actual truth that climate change will milk us all

    I fully expect that even less will be done in the next years so yeah, were screwed
