That's the average Elon Musk fanboy for you.

All that means is that the BLM has to inform congress of their activities etc., and congress can use the power of the purse to deny them funds to act as a check on their power if they don't like what they're doing. But they are told what to do by the executive branch.

lol you have a point

Is the rest of of the Gulf belong to Mexico or is there an open-area that is up for grabs to whoever wants it?

They also build you your housing.

I approached you civilly, I guess this is all I can expect in return. Take care.

The Hyperloop is one of the dumbest things proposed by Elon... It's unfeasible rn, dangerous if not done perfectly and would cost so much to implement anywhere where existing rail infrastructure already exists that it's insane they're still thinking about doing something like this...

LOL, good joke

Not doing it for a political agenda is even worse, because it implies you’re actually just stupid enough to think what you’re saying is true.

Name checks out, you’re full of shit

From the article: A recycling method developed by Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) recovers up to 70% of lithium from battery waste without corrosive chemicals, high temperatures, and prior sorting of materials being required. The method combines mechanical processes with chemical reactions and enables inexpensive, energy-efficient, and environmentally compatible recycling of any type of lithium-ion battery. The results are reported in Communications Chemistry.

Lithium-ion batteries are omnipresent in our life. They are not only used for the wireless power supply of notebooks, smartphones, toys, remote controls, and other small devices, but also are the most important energy storage systems for the rapidly growing electric mobility sector. Increasing use of these batteries eventually results in the need for economically and ecologically sustainable recycling methods.

Presently, mainly nickel and cobalt, copper and aluminum, as well as steel are recovered from battery waste for reuse. Lithium recovery still is expensive and hardly profitable. Existing recovery methods mostly are of metallurgical character and consume a lot of energy and/or produce hazardous by-products. In contrast to this, mechanochemical approaches based on mechanical processes to induce chemical reactions promise to reach a higher yield and sustainability with a smaller expenditure.

That would be great but the point is that this technology will be available but implementing it effectively is another matter. We have the capability and technology to do so many things right now that fall short due to management failures including but not limited to lack of budget for instance.

The following submission statement was provided by /u/intengineering:

Submission Statement:

Hyperloop technology is a proposed ultra-high-speed mode of transportation that could revolutionize how people travel, offering speeds of up to 700 miles per hour with minimal carbon emissions. In this Interesting Engineering interview with the president of HYPED, a student initiative dedicated to making hyperloop technology a reality, we learn about the cutting-edge technology and prototypes being developed, as well as the potential benefits and obstacles to the hyperloop's implementation. From reducing long-distance traffic to acting as a transportation safety net during natural disasters, hyperloop technology has the potential to transform how we live and move, and it's exciting to see how student-led initiatives like HYPED are driving the technology forward.

Yeah, this guy has been spouting nonsense all over this comment section.

For anyone who cares about the truth, here’s the senate distribution:

Majority (51): Democratic (48) Independent (3)

Minority (49): Republican (49)

For some real insight on root causes check out Locust Effect by Gary Haugen, someone who is now a couple decades ahead of where you are, who has made a real, tremendous impact in the world. What you may see is the cause is actually deeper than you think - meaning the solutions must go deeper.

Ultimately, we can't legislate basic human goodness, and there will always be those who take opportunity to exploit the vulnerable, so solutions must remove the core causes of vulnerability. Politics, unfortunately, just tries to declare things into being and rarely understands the systemic interactions at work, and often is actually driven (on all sides) by those who leverage their own positions as a form exploitation for their own agendas. It's easy to get everyone to agree that we should make the world a better place. It has proven impossible thus far to get everyone to agree ideologically to 1. What is actually better, and 2 by natural transitive property, How to get there.

No they need rights

I'm a Texas business owner with family ties to oil across the southwest, I'm about as far alligned economically R as it gets. That you honed in on that specific detail as the entire crux for your argument really says a lot.

Do you have any valid points to make against my statements?

This is how you end up spending billions of dollars on a Tesla in a tube.

The thing about being "rich" is that it means you are post-scarcity. Rich people today already don't have to work. They can just sit around doing whatever they want.

And of course, amongst rich people (who are actually quite diverse in their behaviours, interests, hobbies, relationships, etc..) there are some who are very good, some who are very bad, and many in between.

When we say our whole society becomes post-scarcity, we're really saying that everyone is rich. Everyone gets to sit on the couch doing fuck all if they want to, while the machines and the AIs produce everything.

So, imagine we get to that point. Will everyone work - no, some people will not work. Will some people work - absolutely, yes, they'll work on things they want to, making art of every description (visual art, music, fashion, architecture, interior design, media, etc), designing things, discovering things, debating things, creating new culture.

And there will be work in a post-scarcity society in preventing evil, selfish, violent, crual, destructive people from doing damage. That's going to be a full time job, even post-scarcity.

There will be lots to do. Even when all our material needs are met.

OP your entire post history is involved with Musk and Space X

OP talks about the office workflow being different. But in many cases there won't be an office, because many offices and the people in them were collectively a machine that gets replaced by automation.

Why talk to an office with a bunch of sales people and logistics people for transport and supplies when your company's software can just ping a server at another company and the AI instantly dispatches orders.

People sitting at their desk using a computer to make their job easier and more efficient was already having the first foot in the grave.
