Politics. Gotta ensure that utopia survives and expands

This is good actually, “privacy sandbox” is like baked in ad targeting service. Better to just block third party cookies. I’ve only needed third party cookies for microsoft 365 stuff.

In Tamil calendar it is the year 5126. https://www.drikpanchang.com/tamil/tamil-month-panchangam.html

Indian subcontinent has several calendars, followed today, in different parts. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_New_Year's_days

Feels silly to have months in first place. Could have been just <year>-<day of year>.

If you’re concerned that “unskilled” is derogatory, changing the word for it isn’t helping. https://youtu.be/o25I2fzFGoY

Which statistics program is it?

This is why assets should be taxed in some way - like how government gets a cut on every share transaction or like by government owning ports leasing operations

I’ve no idea what CRT is but I’d like to simply answer why DEI kinda things are needed separate from poverty alleviation.

Axiomatically, I want best person for a given job and a level playing field for all. This is the kind of society I want to build.

Say there is universal basic income or universal basic services. Yay, now anyone can get free education or wait until they get job they aspire too, etc.

Do we progress towards the kind of society mentioned previously? Likely not because there are other factors like network, culture and habits that shape how we/others view us and our capabilities. Hence, mentors, counseling, special training, etc are needed.

It’s about how it should be done. Whether there should be more or fewer interventions is moot. It’s about building a world order where nations don’t feel like usa is untrustworthy. Maybe through a rules based process like UN security council.

Avoid military action without the expressed endorsement of the UN Security Council, for example, bombing of Yugoslavia.

The whole point is to get it renewable, otherwise gasoline is even better? Anyway, the race is still on for aviation and heavy freight, and hydrogen/ammonia/methanol would probably have a place there.

Trying to distort the market so that lower priced items are more profitable is quite challenging to do without unintended consequences. A progressive consumption tax would definitely be a worthy experiment

When I say it should be free, it means that there is no cost to be paid by individual

No, I don’t support UBI, but I support UBS - Universal basic services. Food, housing, water, education, etc should be free at a basic level. Basic level for housing for example will be ‘Housing First’ concept in Finland.
