No. That’s poor maths, you’re comparing two entirely different things. This is why so so so many of the arguments and facts about immigration are in poor faith. People massively oversimplify.

Locals primarily.

Where do immigrants live in trees?

Oh course its going to increase any housing shortage.

There is a lot of problems with immigration. Immigration as a whole is different to certain immigration. If you break it down certain countries, certain jobs and certain education levels can cause a net drain on a country.

That’s not to say all immigration is bad. But to think all immigration under any circumstance is good is just a signs of being brainwashed by their side and refusing to look at anything that goes against their view.

Brave is great.

They have more renewables than any other state.

Most people that are for lower immigration aren’t anti all immigration.

People usually want lower numbers, and more educated immigrants.

So anyone that has 2 million subscribers is automatically right on everything?

That guy makes some crap videos.

Housing prices can be fixed with housing reform and breaking NIMBY, LVT and lowering immigration.

It seems solar and batteries are much better ideas at grid level.

Seems like the government has 0 interest in building out the grid to accommodate it.

You can be tolerant of intolerance. But its got to be about homophobia, sexism, threats of violence, and hatred of the status quo. But it only works if a minority is doing it.

The problem is the same all over Europe people are unhappy with immigration from MENA.

None of the centre or left parties will deal with it, except in Denmark and Poland which coincidentally have seen lower votes for far right parties. But that’s probably unrelated right.

So yea. Let’s decide who should be in power and what they think of is right goes and ban anyone that thinks differently.

I think I actually did.

I always got told I could do whatever I wanted and didn’t know what I wanted to do. But I figured I didn’t want to do anything manual into old age so ruled that out. I knew I wanted to do a lot of different things and work with different people. But talking can be difficult.

Emails and working together with lots of other people and working on problem is great. Wearing a suit and making big decision seemed really interesting.

Work in general sucks but it beats the alternatives. Everyone on this website comes across as somewhat autistic. Dealing with people isn’t the end of the world.

Capitalism working as intended.

Supply and demand. In this case means higher wages.

Yea. But now our major towns and cities are getting much worse.

Lots of countries seem to be going in reverse and have been in reverse for decades.

Wow I guess alternative views really aren’t tolerated on this website.

I was hoping after reddit lost it’s mind this might be a more open and free speech place. Instead it is more about right think and wrongthink than reddit has become.

Christ I miss the old internet were we could have different ideas and have actual conversations.

And no, the hypothetical of the robot skyscrapers is not “meaningless.”

It’s not meaningless in itself. Its meaningless to the conversation. It’s literally a hypothetical you invented for no reason. You’re just rambling.

Are you actually trying to claim that if the population was much smaller than it is today total resource use across the globe would be the same?

Because if not my point stands.

A lot of people think rockets can be very profitable. Its just a long term bet and you lack imagination. I would need to check but I’m pretty certain spacex is profitable.

Those other companies are still in R and D.

The only billionaire I know of that is launching rockets is Elon Musk.

That’s just evidence that capitalism is efficient. Because SpaceX has revolutionised space travel making the only reusable rocket doing something all the government agencies said was impossible. NASAs new unbuilt rocket is using tech from the 1970 that they are going to throe away into the ocean on every launch.

The rest you say is meaningless. How you expect this robotic skyscrapers to be built? Some MIT masters project or some capitalist experiment?

There has been efficiency gains throughout. Capitalism is amazing for that, far better than other systems.

The problem is too many people. If standard of living is to increase then the resource requirement is due to massive unsustainable population growth.

That and the fact the public hate externalities and don’t want them used at all never mind aggressively.

Yea even when I’m really into this I found I just don’t care anymore. It’s too far away and a lot is moving right now.

I want news about past growth or next 6 months maybe a year. Everything else is a lifetime away and potentially horseshit in this industry.

Coal is on it’s deathbed the world over.

With the price solar and batteries are going gas is going to be dead very soon in places that don’t have European winter solar potential.
