China flooding the market with cheap EVs still makes the rich richer... Just different rich people in a different country.

Looks interesting, but I think a website would be better suited for this (so people can spontaneously play it without having to download anything). Please consider making one :)

It's important to note that, at least in Austria, while there is no universal "minimum wage" per se there is a minimum wage for every job ("Kollektivveträge"). So effectively there is a minimum wage.

Don't worry, I usually don't (and I didn't say "the Jews", just "Jews" - big difference, since a "the" in front of it would imply that it's all while without "the" it's just a part of them).

It just was needed in this context for the sake of my comment (the irony would be harder to understand otherwise).

I apologise

If they really do that the irony of Jews doing ethnic cleansing would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

What happened to notepad?

  1. Rock is in the floor

  2. Ice age ends, water floods dirt around the rock away

  3. Rock either rolls down or stays

We have lots of these in Austria and at least here this is how they became like that.

I'm no expert so I don't know what causes more damage, but the production of photovoltaic cells also is by no means environmentally friendly. People die, ecosystems get destroyed, ...

And people argue that birds fly into wind generators and die, idk how much damage that is comparatively but probably the least. So from an environmental perspective, as a layman, I'd rank them wind > water > sun > non-renewables (nuclear > gas > coal).

But wind (and sun) always changes, so it's impossible to only have wind (and sun). You need:

  • Something stable that carries a large percentage (for example water in rivers or at the end of lakes (so basically at the start of a river)).

  • Something flexible that can quickly be increased or decreased (for example pumped hydro storage power stations, bonus points there for also being able to use energy when there's too much wind/sun; or non-renewables (burn more gas, get more electricity))

So even if we assume that wind and sun are better than water we still need either water or non-renewables. I'd say that's an easy choice.

Sadly all power generation methods come at a cost. What would you suggest?

You can argue about how green it is, considering its impact on ecosystems, but how did they end at the conclusion that it's not renewable?

In the text about Sodom and Gomorra the way I understand it God is punishing them for wanting to rape the angel or whoever it was who's sleeping there. Not for it being a gay act when men rape a man.

A bit different (since there was no war yet and it wasn't about the military) but after the assassination of Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo, Austria requested to send their own police to investigate the case around the "Black Hand" (the terror organisation that assassinated him).

It really isn't unusual for countries to deny foreign investigation.
