Ah yes, the great and powerful American nuclear lobby... That hasn't sold a new reactor in 30 years.

Most people support nuclear because it's the best base load generation method, and that can't be replaced by renewables.

You're literally less than a degree of separation from the "nuclear is a Chinese psyop" people.

Expeditions are what you're looking for, for the most part. There's also at least two main story lines now. But yeah there needs to be more

Sure, so can spending money, drinking water, or eating anything.

Yes, it's more likely it's an accident than someone coming up with an idea to cut one of many undersea cables using an off the shelf anchor -- something undersea cables are hardened against depending on the company that produced them. We've had undersea communication lines for more than a hundred and fifty years now, we've had anchors for longer than that. The former was designed to withstand the latter.

Also the attack serves no purpose as many have pointed out. There are literally hundreds of routes, dozens of other cables under water. At most this costs a random company


not country, company a few hundred thousand euros worth of replacement cabling for such a short distance... What's the literal point? It's not particularly expensive venture, it's not going to cripple anything, it doesnt affect the countries involved just entities within them... What is the motive?

Hell try and then we'll be reading a news story about how his brain worms finally kennedy'd him the next hour after the attempt. HFCS and the multitude of corporations producing and using it aren't some pushover industry like oil and natural gas, they have actual power.

There's a reason corn is in everything processed in the US.

It's quite literally a story of how royalty uses blue collar labor as conscripted soldiers to fight their battles and how anti monarchy revolutions will be resisted by everyday people if they feel connected to their monarch, explaining the need for purges and gulags. Mario is a tsarist class traitor that uses illegal drugs as performance enhancing agents as the only way he can compete with revolutionaries.

Australia hopefully has their own home grown social media sites by now. Every other country that decides to wholesale ban all foreign social media tend to have replacements ready when they do it.

That's nice, but there is no excuse for higher overhead than the amount of money actually spent on the problem, when the problem objectively can be solved by direct expenditure.

We know how to eliminate homelessness and the causes behind it even in a capitalist society. It doesn't cost a billion per 100 transitional housing units.

Yes.

Yes, they might use it for drugs or alcohol, that's fine, it's as important as food sometimes.

Non profits and charities are great in theory, but most redirect less than 10% of what they receive towards the homeless look at LA's projects as the most glaring example, it "takes" 10 million+ per single housing unit for temporary housing. Not due to cost, but simply corruption at every level. From the non profits involved to the government itself.

Giving directly to the homeless skips all that.

Or to put it another way, you can't fix the problem or treat symptoms by continuing to give money to the cause of the problem. Giving directly at least treats the symptom.
