Holy shit you guys have sales tax? Really living in the 1800’s there.

Well that’s just the level of economic understanding on this website. Immigrants get everything for free but everyone else pays for society at large.

That’s not how fact checking works.

Someone’s made a stupid text on image post incorrectly comparing things and didn’t even back that up.

From an economic perspective it’s largely the same.

Research and development is important for long term growth that’s why governments do their best to financially encourage it.

But this is Lemmy. Might as well be talking to a spam sandwich when it comes to economics.

How much was paid with employee income tax? How much was paid with VAT?

How much did immigrants take out of the system?

This is the most biased one sided comparison.

It’s strange how in the when businesses employee people and that wage gets taxed that’s 100% on the employee. But when a business sells a product and it gets taxed that’s 100% on the customer.

That Baywatch show on friends looks good.

“Always running”

I don’t see how that goes against anything I have said? That just supports what I said if anything.

There is a shit load of gold out their in minute concentrations

There a lot of fatties out there that think they are healthy and that someone who got visible ribs in anorexic. Heard quite a few stories if people going to the doctors and finding out they are obese when they thought they were a healthy weight.

People need more education on this matter not less.

If someone works out how to make gold cheap. Then the current value of all gold will collapse and there were be a huge supply of shit that’s been covered in dust in a vault for 100 years.

Here’s a company doing it. https://www.canarymedia.com/articles/clean-industry/green-steel-without-green-hydrogen-can-it-work

They can make steel with just electricity and I don’t see why if you are making a fuel for planes why you wouldn’t make straight kerosene.

I can see how you could mass produce hydrogen for industry then use it in winter. But I can also see all high energy industries going to places with good solar.

The future is going to be weird that’s for sure.

Especially in Europe there is a big question of winter energy demand not meeting supply from solar. That causes issues that wind doesn’t fully solve.

So I get that hydrogen could be an option to balance the grid over yearly time periods. Although I think batteries still look better.

But so much of hydrogen just seems like a scam

It added that all necessary equipment could soon be housed on a platform directly on an offshore wind turbine

Like why would you even do that? I don’t get it. It must go from kinetic energy to electrical then to the hydrogen plant surely. Why wouldn’t you send that electricity back to shore?

She’s got the face of someone that would make you make a mistake but you wouldn’t even care.

Yea I know.

Humans can drive with just vision.

Tesla is doing it the hard way. Their model involves cars just having vision and driving the same as humans do. Humans can do it, why can’t computers? Seeing as they have more cameras than 2. In theory they should be better than human drivers. Once it is solved they could instantly drive anywhere humans can.

Waymo has taken an easier route and they have used a lot of detailed mapping with also an assortment of additional sensors. Waymo doing it the easy way has only recently achieved this. Turns out it’s really hard. Harder than everyone including the experts expected probably.

But with advances in computing and things like LLM’s Tesla is catching up. Who knows how long that will take though? I always thought waymo was doing the right thing so I’m biased.

Edit: this fucking website I swear. I answered the question and got downvoted for it. What more you people want from me?

I really thought that movie came out in the 80’s. Mid 80’s I would have guessed.

Time is merging.

That would be great.

Hopefully one day soon.
