Bruh, I do 30 burpees for every failed unit test. I may be a dogshit coder, but I’m jacked af.
I would choose A with democratically regulated markets and complete co-op style ownership of the company.
Is it more or less a fantasy than the fantasy that every employer is able to pay the minimum wage?
If you need staff, but can’t afford to pay them adequately, but also can’t run it on your own, your business isn’t viable, and you suck at math and pricing your goods and service(s).
- Washington (Democratic government): $16.28
- California (Democratic government): $16.00
- Nevada (divided government): $12.00
- Idaho (Republican government): $7.25
Now factor in the cost of living in a “safe” area in those states with those wages. In 2024, it’s not enough.
I agree, clearly, the Democrats are the better option for anyone but the billionaire class. However, I agree more with OP: Democrats can do better and not be so corporatist neo-lib.
This is bullshit. Your imagination is perpetuating the myth of the vast majority of people caring about an individual’s dietary preferences. I have never once been accosted by or have accosted vegans on their dietary preference. Maybe, perhaps, in a sarcastic jest.
The dietary preference wars are just like the gender and the other culture wars: psy-op proxies for the only war that’s ever mattered - the class war.
Same tendencies are in all European countries that tried nuclear project recently: way over budget and massive delays.
And yet, the countries that are developing new nuclear plants despite the hurdles all realize the fraction of greenhouse gasses in gigatons emitted vs. coal. All the sustainable energy sources and their delivery systems require energy (and a good amount, at that) to be manufactured.
I do not have the obligation to specify nor to elaborate.
No, you’re not obligated to say anything, but it shows the meaninglessness of the statement, “everything isn’t so black and white.”
Things are rarely binary good vs evil in this world.
I wasn’t talking about “good vs. evil”. I gave you the reasons why Putin, reasons that have been patently obvious to NATO in every publicly published intelligence briefing since 2008, invaded Ukraine.
Thus, citing not building power plants due to fear of Russian invasion is complete bullshit.
Simply put, why would Putin invade Germany if the Ukrainians deposed his puppet, and actively sought to exploit their territorial gas reserves and cut into his business? What’s in Germany for him? Rammstein airbase and NATO retaliation? Your precious coal?
Thorium, smr etc is still a pipedream at this point.
And yet many nations are rapidly developing them. India and China have active reactors currently. Not such a “pipe dream” if there’re working examples and a push towards developing them across the energy sector in every nuclear-capable country.
It is a valid strategy for a country to invest into proven technology like better insulating homes, optimising network, supporting more wind and solar and combining it with importing foreign hydrogen.
Once again, all of that needs tremendous amounts of energy to happen. And instead of using their already existing nuclear plants to supply it, they’re going to use coal (primarily) to do it while pressing everyone else to hit their emissions targets, akin to the hypocrisy this meme illustrated.
The move away from nuclear was very widely supported in German democracy.
Widely supported by idiots, hypocrites, and corrupt interests.
No, we don’t know what to do with the small fraction of very long lasting waste in the long term, a fact still ignored all the time by the pro-nuclear voice.
Yes, we do. And with thorium reactors, such operations don’t need to occur.
Reexamine and reassess nuclear power programs regularly, of course.
Shut everything down and burn coal, in light of the direction of the climate of our planet? And do that while publicly claiming how “green and clean” you are? And everyone else had better hit their emissions targets?
Go fuck yourself, Germany. Oh wait. You already did.
Foreign dependance is just false. In own country produced coal is clearly less foreign dependant than importing uranium.
Once again, one doesn’t need to import and use uranium for fissile material.
All your other points are up for debate and by far not as black and white or right and wrong as you seem to believe.
State your specific counterarguments. Address my points directly. Otherwise, this statement is meaningless.
We are yet to see these fancy schmancy super reactors online in Europe.
Despite thoroughly well-documented European incompetence in energy policy, the need to import uranium doesn’t absolve Germany of its own hypocrisy in discourse about said policy and climate change.
Nothing is stopping Germany, and all NATO nations for that matter, in creating thorium reactors, save the aforementioned ignorance, incompetence, intransigence, and corruption. Thorium is abundant just about everywhere on Earth.
Just about every new nuclear construction site in Europe in the past 15 years has become nothing short of a financial bottomless pit.
1 simple search revealed the following:
I think all of these use Uranium-235 fuel rods.
Somehow these countries can and/or have gotten the job done in the recent past and are actively building more. Germany, the largest, strongest economy in Europe can’t, for “ReAsOnS”.
Chernobyl directly affected us, including the people running our country. Russia also attacked nuclear reactors in the Ukraine, which certainly reminded people of Chernobyl.
Fear-mongering from uneducated half-wits who know next to nothing about energy production and infrastructure.
At the start of the Ukraine war, it was unclear whether Russia might also launch attacks on us, including our nuclear reactors.
Fear-mongering from uneducated half-wits who know next to nothing about geo-politics and Putin’s intentions.
Putin clearly wanted to prevent Ukraine from selling natural gas from deposits in the Black Sea to the EU. Capturing Donetsk and annexing Crimea helps that goal.
He also doesn’t want to be reminded that the Kievan Rus exist and existed independently of Muscovy.
Russia also cut off our natural gas supply. We have practically no own Uranium deposits either, so reducing dependence on foreign nations was definitely in our interest, too.
Nuclear plants would reduce Germany’s foreign dependence on energy far more than coal plants
Nuclear fission is the cleanest way to produce the required energy to build the infrastructure of an economy sans greenhouse gasses. Those wind turbines, geothermal systems, solar panels etc. all need energy to be produced.
One doesn’t need to use uranium or plutonium as fissile material for the fuel rods. For instance, India and China have working Thorium reactors.
Germany’s obstinacy in energy policy is reflective of much of the rest of the world’s ruling class. Too corrupt and too dumb to think and act responsibly regarding energy, economic, and military policy.
Thank you for the detailed info. That’s… unfortunate. Did this Jafari guy walk anything back, fade away, or did he double down?

I live under a rock. Who are these people in the meme, and which one is the alleged supremacist?
Had and have magnitudes of more problems with file management on iOS; it has improved a bit with a basic native file browser.
Handy! Thank you for the tip.
Thank you for your service!
