Often the difference between people who are advocates for these green technologies and those who aren't isn't a disagreement about whether climate change exists and is something we should be dealing with, but instead is a disagreement between somebody who doesn't care whether the technology actually functions and somebody who needs the technology reliably to function or face personal calamity.
The final arbiter of Truth is reality, and reality doesn't care how good your intentions actually are. If you can't make it to work and don't get paid for an extended period of time because your 20,000 Euro battery is dead, your landlord (or the bank) and the grocer will not accept good intentions instead of money.

Men often use physical force or domination to get their way, but women use GSR, or Gossiping, Shaming, and Rallying.
Through that lens, our current moment in time is a haven for female psychopaths, because GSR is given disproportionate weight. That's one reason why for example when someone makes a shitty movie the people who didn't pay to go see it are called ists and phobes.

There's a possibility of another Hollywood strike.
Kinda seems like the longer they're not making flops the better for the studios.

A lot of people rewrote history to assume everyone knew there was going to be big money in computers or that they were going to be a big social institution.
In reality, even when I was a kid the computer nerd was considered a loser pursuing some weird niche hobby that would get you socially ostracized and didn't have any immediate paths to gainful employment.
It really wasn't until the late 90s that people really started to understand what had made those social outcasts so excited.

Economists hate them! One simple trick, called lying, helped them avoid most of the problems Europe is facing.
I mean, not really. But they can pretend.

This is pretty neat. It's Diatomaceous Earth under a microscope.
Now you might be asking, "What's so interesting about that?", well, it's made up of the remains of microorganisms called diatoms that died perhaps millions of years ago. And yet, at 1000x magnification, an interesting thing is happening -- They're moving as if they're alive.
This movement is caused by the molecules of water bumping up against the larger particles, it's called "Brownian motion". It was discovered by a botanist named Brown who was investigating pollen, and noticed similar movement. Throughout his testing, he was able to see that the same movement happened with living plants, with dead plants, and with stuff that definitely wasn't alive, like little bits of rock.
In 1905 it wasn't actually confirmed that atoms were something that existed (giving you an idea of just how quickly the science moved), but Albert Einstein came up with a hypothesis that Brownian motion was caused by molecules made up of atoms bumping up against larger particles, and in a paper came up with an equation that could be used to find the amount of particles at a certain temperature at a certain pressure, something incredibly important and useful if it could be found.
A few years later, someone ran the experiment, and was able to find that number.

Actually that, or in the same way that stripper friend I have has been just about to finish university for 15 years?
Sun Tzu says the victorious general wins the victory and then heads into battle, but the defeated general fights the battle first then seeks victory.
If you haven't deliberated and strategized, then even with unlimited manpower you will not achieve what you want. It just means you have more people failing.

If you do nothing and nothing else changes, it collapses under the weight of debt within our lifetimes. If you do nothing and natural aging happens, it collapses under the weight of everyone assuming someone else's kids will pay for their retirement or join the military.
Absolutely.
110 years ago there wasn't even an income tax in most countries around the world, and today blue collar workers can see over 50% of their last dollar going to the state. Also, 110 years ago the world's major currencies were backed by gold and so inflation was limited and sometimes currencies even became more valuable.
This omnipresent state pretends it helps to eliminate wealth inequality, but the wealthiest person on earth today got most of that wealth by virtue of government largesse and rather than by virtue of the relatively tiny number of cars he sells. If it isn't by direct payments (though it often is -- how many direct subsidies or payments for different products or services have come directly from the massive governments to make the world's richest man so rich?), it's by constant inflation which cuts down the working class's wages and savings and ultimately makes the ultra-rich even richer by sending that excess money into mega-stocks.
