They can do that, if used as a proxy for the aurochs. But that is very different to meat production.

There is a massive issue with that data. Namely that it only looks at people, who actually have a job. Generally speaking employers prefer full time workers over part time. Obviously somebody working part time is still more productive, then an unemployed person. In France 52.8% of women over 15 work, in Italy it is 41.3%. Then you get things like unemployment, which tends to be much much higher in the south.

That is why Spain is working on reducing the work week. It lower the high unemployment rate.

The 1/10 is pretty much what could reasonably be taxed from a simpler medieval farmer without them starving.

Also today we do have systems like social security. There are also quite a few things very similar to commons. Roads, parks, public land and so forth come to mind. I am pretty sure, if you created something like common land for farming most everybody would not use it. At least judging by the number of gardens trying to grow food.

How the hell can the presidential candidate of the Green Party own a MILLION DOLLARS OF OIL AND GAS SHARES? How can you complain about Israel murdering children in Gaza, when you own shares in Raytheon, which sells and produces weapons for and in Israel?

Because there are both US and EU laws preventing code from countries deemed a threat. Torvalds is paid by the Ameircan Linux Foundation, which has to work under US law and he himself is an EU citizen. Also a lot of other developers are from those countries and if they do not comply, they could get into some pretty bad legal trouble.

So it pretty much boils down to kick out the Russians or kick out all US and EU citizens and well we see Linus choice.

$7trillion is three times the GDP if Brazil. It is bigger then the US federal budget. Seriously it is insane.

Mark Robinson described himself as a "Black Nazi", but no LOTR is not real.

Funny thing something like that happened to the account:

We literally destroyed perfectly working pedestrian neighbourhoods to make them better for cars. I can not see how having bicycles earlier would have changed anything. We had trains well before cars and at a massive scale and they did not stop cars either.

And that is why GDP is such a badly flawed metric and why we should not use it as the one and only way to measure progress.

It is very simple. If companies want to use air carbon removal, they should be forced to do that for all of their emissions. No cheap carbon credits, but real proper removal. I am fully aware that that costs $500/t or so, but that happens to be the real carbon price.

If they do have a problem with that then they can always stop emitting.

To sum it up. The inital thought was that the bill would be a public investment of $385 billion in renewables, but it seems it will be more in the line of $1.2 trillion, so about three times more money. Certainly a big change and extremly good news.
