But per capita, China is pumping way less greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere than the USA. And much of China’s industry only exists to sell cheap goods to Western countries.
China also built more high-speed rail in a decade than the US has in it’s entirety. Not to mention how fast they’re producing electric cars and solar panels.
They would be pleased to know that now, 40 years later, we are releasing record amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere. #progress…
Probably via some attempt to force everyone to verify who they are online by providing their identification documents. It will probably be managed by some company specialized in handling that data, and of course willing to share the data with police and other gov organizations. Data that will be used to track citizens.
Just another endless battle to keep net neutrality alive.
As someone who does R&D testing on plastics that are used in medical devices, I have some insight. Of course the type of plastic matters, but all plastics use carcinogenic chemicals during the manufacturing/extrusion process.
To make most plastic, a polymer resin is mixed with additives such as solvents, plasticizers, and stabilizers at high temperatures. Ideally, you want the additives to evaporate out during production so that you’re left with just the newly formed plastic.
But some of these additives get trapped in tiny air pockets between polymer chains. When they’re reheated, the polymer chains relax and release the volatile, carcinogenic additives into the air.
This is likely where the toxicity is coming from, not the polymer chain itself. So regardless of the type of plastic used, reheating the polymer during 3D printing will release some volatile additives.
The fact that the remote/rural bus stops aren’t being used is not a fault of public transportation itself. But rather, it’s the fault of route design/planning.
Not blind hate. AI will be devastating to the environment for to it’s power and water consumption. We need to ask ourselves if the future water wars will be worth the corporate profits.
Tbf, so did the Israel Palatine conflict, if not earlier.
Seems about right. Profit over people, right?..
4-5 year prison sentence for planning a roadblock… I’ve seen child sex offenders get smaller sentences.
I think sprinting in COD4 ruined all of the left sticks on my DS3 controllers.
False scarcity and hoarding capital
I think capitalism is the cancer. Fascism is just the symptom of late stage capitalism.
