Quite the hot take. Make a claim, cherry pick one thing, and post a random YouTube video to back it.

Most of our tech comes from the military inventions of decades prior. Most of that from the US military and government. So if you think socialism would have brought GPS, cell phones, home computers, rocket technology, satellites, and more to the commercial market sooner... lol.

The entire factory industry, worldwide, uses the assembly line model invented by Ford, an American company. This system also brought prices down on cars, making them a staple of life rather than a luxury.

I won't disagree with the fact big pharma could do more, but not with the idea it would have more incentive under a socialist system.

You can't wrap your head around it because you simply don't want to. Of course I didn't mention every single potential crop. I mentioned the three most widely grown, around the entire world. Corn, rice, and soy. Yes, others would do well, but building above these crops would never work on large agricultural areas. Why? Because you need machinery to harvest large grow ops before they spoil. Farmers would never afford the human labor required to match. It will work great on smaller scale farms, people using upwards of 25 acres. What does that achieve power wise though by comparison? Not enough power.

Pastures are an issue for two reasons. One, grass needs direct sunlight to properly grow. Two, animal agriculture is a major cause of carbon emissions. We need less pastureland, and covering it doesn't help. You could convert existing pastureland into a reactor site, saving existing nature from development.

You would still need to develop new land for larger arrays. Land use that could be minimized by maximizing the possible power output.

There's the deflection. Classic.

I'm not the jackass who claimed every Olympian is doping. You guys are pathetic when trying to justify hyperbole. Lol

Do you know we're talking about the Olympics?

Financed their war effort. We valued the whole hearts and minds over destroying farmers livelihood.

So no proof? That's what I figured.

I did play sports. None of us took anything.

Yeah, privacy wise much of the West sucks. It's not just the US. Germany spies on it's people just like the 5 Eyes (English countries). France literally just passed a law allowing cops to activate phone cameras and mics. The war against terror really took a bite out of everyones privacy.

At least we live in countries that, theoretically, we should be able to vote in reps to undo these things. Sadly we haven't seen that yet.

I've blocked a few as well. No sense wasting your time with fantasy posters who conveniently ignore the issues of their own country. As if we don't get videos of people being sealed inside apartment buildings, live meat markets, and other insanities. I'm American and, while some states want to erode history because they're just as thin skinned as these Chinese propagandists, at least we can talk about slavery, trail of tears, Tulsa riot, and other negatives without threat of prison and hopes of social progress. Tiananmen Square though? Ha.

the push for competition without oversight generate a disorganized chaos

And Communism doesn't have this very issue? Russia and China have done immense damage to the environment as well. Industrializing a nation does damage. Maybe you can mitigate it, but I don't believe a system involving humans would ever achieve it. Whatever basis you use to run things, it causes problems, because everyone wants progress.

I have to check that out sometime. I'm unfamiliar but I've heard it mentioned plenty.
