⅔ may be overestimating, but yes, they're native to all of the Middle East and Africa, and most of Europe (outside of Scandinavia) and mainland Asia (outside of deserts, Siberia etc.)

What biomass grows the fastest without being waterlogged - I imagine bamboo or sugarcane or something

Grow that, and burn it to make carbon neutral steel; bonus points if you do it in a highrise/underground farm but frankly some medium term reversible environmental damage is preferable to killing off way more with climate change

These are all in cargo pants but default is phone front left; small wallet (leather card holder with a zip pocket with a tile in it) front right; keys back zip pocket, but recently I was in another country and did water bottle front top left; phone, large wallet due to cash & book front top left; travelcard and hotel key back zip pocket, passport & 120Ah portable charger front bottom right, coins front bottom right which surprisingly felt just fine so maybe I'm ready to become a suburban dad

I mean they could go underwater and just come up to breathe and eat dead ants

Outside of Continental Europe

Oddly specific when of the 10 countries judged to have the equal best tap water quality, 4 are European islands (UK, Ireland, Iceland, Malta) and many Continental European countries score behind the US:

Exactly right with regards to China, less so Mexico...

If you're making fun of the US for being pro-free market but not here, surely it makes sense for them to tariff imports the same amount that their production is subsidised, or to subsidise the same amount as everyone else to at least approximate the free market

You said it in your first line... They're selling them at a loss to try and dominate the market.

Even if the government only think it's only anti-competitive when foreign companies do it, the truth is it's anti-competitive as fuck regardless... I'd much rather have both local and international producers producing things at a reasonable price and fair profit level than losing a bunch of money to dominate the market then taking huge profits later on but you do you I guess.

If it were me I'd also be wanting to know how many slave labourers are getting poisoned by toxic fumes to produce them, as while China is great in some respects, the work environment and culture is undeniably Victorian workhouse level.

Ah yes, so all the houses people rarely visit are located close together and the farms they have to visit multiple times a day are even further away?

Deranged thinking by someone who has never considered that their food is grown in a field rather than some factory

I don't claim that anarchism is authoritarian, just that when it isn't it's incompatible with a globalised or even national level society. Communism is a different thing as you can have authoritarian (heavily or slightly) communism in a globalised or national society but it isn't inherently authoritarian - you can also have non authoritarian communism as a structure that doesn't work in a globalised or national society

Society is inherently authoritarian leaning. If you put people in an environment where they aren't on first name terms with everyone they interact with you're going to end up with an authority not caring about people they don't know personally. If you wanna go back to living in a single village with minimal outside contact except with traders you are familiar with anyway then go for it, but I can't see many people actually wanting that. To find the minimal levels of authoritarianism that work with a society where there is a centralised power you'd probably have to look at the centre-left, with it getting more authoritarian the more right or left you go from there

Just drive via the eurotunnel... If they're not gonna let you fly then... don't fly?

Sure but one of the downsides of the game (and one of the upsides, in that they allow it) is that you need 10-100 mods to patch things which should be in the base game or are just weird/unexpected, and I worry the devs are expecting modders to do their work for them... With this I bet they'll be announcing that pollution is even more purple in CS2
