We are decades away from only having electric cars on the road, new drilling will be needed to sustain those vehicles in the future. Especially with electric vehicle prices. I personally was wanting to get a F150 Lightning, but it went from 40k to 60k for the base truck. Prices like that keep buyers like me out of the market.

Maybe, but the fuel we need for the next few decades have to come from somewhere.

Renewables and electric vehicles might be the future, but we won’t be there for decades. Still need fossil fuels until then.

The United States congress can’t manage to agree on anything, can you imagine trying to get the entire world to agree? Poorer countries wouldn’t be able to afford it, and I doubt rich countries will pay for it in other countries.

So the cartels will all be gone in the next 13-17 years?

Not but tons of people who have commented have mentioned it.

UBI will never happen on a global, or national level. Most likely not even on a state level. It’s a nice dream to think everyone will be able to get paid to sit around and do nothing but it will not happen.

He is making some questionable decisions. Why wouldn’t he weigh in? Why didn’t he want to throw at the combine? He is almost guaranteed to be the 1st or 2nd pick, why hide your weight? A couple of pounds isn’t going to make your draft stock fall

Why are referees so special? More people get punished for criticizing them than any other group in this country.

Oh that’s awesome. Thank you for that link.

Well he only got charged with 2 misdemeanors. Athletes and celebrities in general always get away with stuff.

Given how much crime NFL players commit with next to no punishment, racing shouldn’t affect his draft stock. 2 misdemeanors are nothing in the NFL.

Good point, I’m sure they can always up the charges. Be interesting to see if he gets the “Ray Lewis treatment”

Yes I understand that, but they aren’t felony charges or even anything related to the deaths. I expected felony charges if anything

Headline makes it sound a lot worse than 2 silly misdemeanor charges.

The EU is pretty serious about transporting meat across borders.

Well it will never happen. What is a sensible law in China is not sensible in Italy, or Brazil. Same thing with ethics and cultural norms. Humans are childish. Half the world will say no to a good law just because X country suggested it. I personally don’t want to live under a universal one world government even if it was possible, which it isn’t.

I am sure that there were a few, especially compared to now. But I highly doubt that anyone in the 1920s was like wow there is 1 female scientist in the entire state, I need to make sure when I have this future movie I show women as the lead scientist. Maybe starting 40s-50s it was much more common (again compared to the 1920s, but still minuscule vs now)

Well anytime you start an analysis in 1920 you should expect a lack of female scientists. It would have been unheard of 100 years ago

All sorts of things. I would assume that the states would all welcome new arrivals to replace people leaving, but I have no idea. It would be crazy for sure. Or we could just keep going the way we are and have a civil war that would just have the same results with more deaths.

Lol I mean I’m just assuming that everyone would move where they wanted. You know X group might not want to live in future Republic of Texas so they move to Republic of Illinois, or Y group leaves The Pennsylvania Commonwealth to go live in The commonwealth of South Carolina. No idea how any of it would work in a random future. Hell there might be 50 independent countries, or 5. My point is that splitting up America would solve a whole lot of issues.

Lol well since the British wouldn’t be drawing the borders in America I imagine it would go much better than Pakistan/India. You realize that there are far more states that vote Republican right? I highly doubt that the majority of those people would consider a conservative government “fascist”. Same as not everyone in a liberal country would consider their state socialist or whatever -ist fits best.

I appreciate some people are very optimistic that certain things will change for the better, but I’m too realistic/cynical/jaded to have much hope. Maybe when I see our political system perform basic functions without all out wars over the tiniest things I’ll have more faith.

I think that our founders had no idea how much the world would change. I can’t say it’s their fault, who would have thought 13 colonies would become the worlds biggest super power in less than 200 years? Not to mention how much society has changed.

I would just like to live in a country that actually functions and where my values are represented. That won’t happen until this country gets split up. Neither side will ever have a super majority of all 3 branches to just push their agenda through
