That's the problem with this generation, no capacity to appreciate delayed dissatisfaction!
Le titre en question :
Dérapage des finances publiques : Gabriel Attal estime devant le Sénat avoir pris des « décisions fortes »
L’ancien premier ministre a par ailleurs défendu son ministre de l’économie, Bruno Le Maire, jugeant « scandaleux » le « procès politique, médiatique » qui lui est fait, et saluant son « obsession de désendetter la France ».
This is a perspective than can only be held in a political system that has devolved to a two-party system.
If you step out of that, it stops making sense. A democracy allows for people to express their actual opinion. Anything less than that is not a proper democracy. I'd argue there are no "third parties" in a proper democracy.
You might be saying that the American regime is illegitimate, it's unclear.
Entirely agree. The people responsible for trump getting votes are the people voting for Trump.
Tactical voting is bullshit of the highest order and the undeniable sign of a fucked up political and voting system, not some sort of political astuteness.
If your voting system can't allow people to express their true choice, you should throw it away. Yes, that means the majority of voting systems around the world are bad and need to be changed. Getting people to recognise that this is even an issue in the first place is a huge battle.
Excellent, thanks for sharing this.
This tells you more how disconnected and entitled at the lack of personal consequences these people are than how stupid they are, I think.
They're not dumb, they're just convinced it's not going to cause them any personal damage to say this.
Faut aussi penser que ça marche dans l'autre sens : ces gens-là n'arrivent dans l'ensemble pas à comprendre pourquoi nos générations n'achètent pas.
Pas touche au marché ok? (À dire sur le ton de "pas touche à la 'oiture !")
Yes, we need to stop thinking "battery" and broaden to energy storage as a whole, which can take many more forms (wind up a big coil! Push things uphill!).
You could actually put some thought into what you devote the energy to, and if wanting to do a blockchain based system, run Stellar or Ethereum nodes. Though they don't use Proof of Work, so it would not use that much energy, relatively. You could offer supercomputing as a service that run batch jobs during the peak hours though.
I mean, "economy" fundamentally is the allocation of limited resources, if something is limited at a point when it's needed, then economical doesn't sound like the wrong word to use? (I'm aware economical means cheap, BTW)
A thing you can use which gets forgotten often in the conversation is "natural" / physical batteries, or better put stores of latent energy. Essentially, "push heavy thing up hill, make it come down later".
I know little about it, but you can release the kinetic energy stored in heavy objects at higher altitudes basically whenever, using say a dynamo on the wheels of a wagon of heavy rocks you previously pushed uphill.
Isn't one the issues with hydrogen motors that they are a bit explodey? Genuine question, haven't looked into it in a long time.
Tout ceci est d'une telle tristesse. Comment en est-on arrivé là ?
J'ai reregardé les premières minutes de la vidéo du contrôle routier à l'origine de l'affaire, leur certitude, leur absence de compréhension profonde, leur manière de répéter avec assurance les formules importées des États-Unis, je sais pas comment on parle à des gens qui sont tombés dans ce puit intellectuel.
À l'inverse des fachos pur jus, je pense pas que le ridicule soit une bonne option ici :(
