Nothing gets people to vote conservative like fear. You can't get progressive votes with fear politics.

I'd advise you look into the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon. The media talking about it causes you to notice what's there more, rather than there actually being an increase in crime.

Violent crime is quite significantly down, despite the spike in 2020. That's just the lie they feed you to justify their actions (even if you know it doesn't help).

I'm surprised you didn't use Torpenhow Hill for your hill example. Good ol' Hill Hill Hill Hill.

Yeah, but if they're suddenly losing those dividends to fines, they'll get unhappy in a real hurry.

Based on revenue is fine. That's the measure of how much money they make overall, before any expenses (rather than profit, which they can easily game). If they're losing tens of billions to fines, shareholders will quickly look for someone that doesn't incur those fines.

It's literally just electrochemistry. The higher a wattage you shove into a battery, the more it degrades. The problem isn't linear, either (I believe it's geometric).

>Why don't they just melt?
Pressure is too high to let them. That said, "melt" isn't a well defined term in conditions like this; at what point has ice cream melted?
>Are there fossils buried in the mantle?
Yep. If fossiliferous rocks are subducted, the fossils will be buried in the mantle until eventually, those fossils are somehow transformed beyond being recognizable as fossils (i.e. they're mixed enough, melted or not).
