A surprising amount of the ocean is within the Exclusive Economic Zone of countries, as defined by another UN agreement called UNCLOS. So based on UNCLOS, countries have control over waters within their EEZ. This new agreement addresses waters outside the of EEZ's of countries where currently no one had control. I think that this is a good start.

>The UN is a joke, no one cares about it or even tries to act like they do.

Well, you may have a point on some issues, but certainly not all, and not when it comes to the oceans.

Some of the most widely used and adhered to international agreements regarding the oceans are from the UN. UNCLOS which defines territorial waters, innocent passage for ships, and general laws for the use of the ocean, is a UN agreement. Then there is the International Maritime Organization, part of the UN, which among many things is responsible for the COLREGS. COLREGS are the "rules of the road" for ships at sea to avoid collisions. I can assure you that every country in the world cares about these, and adheres to them.

So I don't agree that no one cares about the UN.

Yep, in another month I think we can read the tea leafs on their 2022 10k.

Actually crossing oceans meant you had to understand the time was different everywhere. Once Harrison came up with a clock that could keep accurate enough time so a mariner knew what time it was back at the prime meridian, mariners could determine their longitude.

A couple of points:

1. That line item just says taxes, so more than just federal income tax. Could include payroll taxes, local taxes, foreign taxes. It also can include past year accruals.

2. One can't tell what they paid in federal income taxes, or what percentage, without seeing their 1120 tax return, which is not public.

3. I assume this graphic represents what is on their 10k SEC filing. This would be done with accounting standards such as GAAP. The IRS has their own accounting standards for tax purposes, which are different than GAAP. Their 1120 tax return may not reflect the same numbers as shown here.

>The US didn't have an official language until recently - the 2000s.

As far as I know the US still does not have an official language.

A solar panel of the same size would produce about 10,000 times the power of this device. That is ten thousand times.

290 micro watts is an incredibly small amount of power. I can't imagine any commercial sensor it could power. As a comparison, a solar panel of the same size would produce about 10,000 times the power of this device.
