They added the hub world like a month after launch.

This is from Google since I am working and can’t dedicate much time to this.

Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) theory, in its absolute form, assumes the absence of trade barriers and transportation costs. Therefore, it doesn’t inherently account for them. In reality, trade barriers such as tariffs and other restrictions can hinder the applicability of PPP by preventing the equalization of prices across countries. This is because PPP is based on the Law of One Price, which suggests that identical goods should sell for the same price in different markets when expressed in a common currency, given the absence of such frictions.

This. There are other payment processors. Anyone that thinks crypto will be a shelter from this doesn’t realize it will just be the next thing on the chopping block. It’s one legislation away from defunct in every country on earth.

“Corrected for purchasing power.”

What metric are you using to measure the market? The US GDP is around 50% larger than the EU.

I’m sure there are compelling ways to make the case either way.

People are stubborn. I anticipate a more RV and condominium centric development. Many of these investments will be sure to fail after 50 years but by then the decision makers will be retired. But I expect the livability of Florida to remain on par with other areas until 2070. We are going to see an increase in natural hazards all over the world. With these we will hopefully see advancements in material science and construction. People are stubborn and adversity breeds progress.

I agree with you about most of that but people will continue to live in Florida and likely it will become even more corpo. Hopefully our building standards shift since home insurance availability is becoming a crisis.

The 10-12 in over the next 25 years is a lot. Historically it’s 3mm a year. Without digging too deeply I believe these estimates are accommodating for the deterioration of sea ice.

I picked a central point at random to illustrate that the whole peninsula isnt at risk. 2.4 million people is only about 10% of the state. Most of the coastal areas are built up off the waterline because of persistent storm surge. My first sentence was that the weather is going to get worse and that is absolutely going to be a big fucking problem. The 12 inches in sea level isn’t going to flood the state on its own, thats all I’m saying. Whether or not the government steps in to help people proactively move out of the compromised areas is the real ask.

The weather is going to continue to get worse but I keep seeing people perpetuating the idea that sea levels rising will be significant enough to put Florida “underwater”. Orlando is 112 ft over sea level. Sea level is estimated to rise 10-12 inches over the next 25 years. The Everglades and the Keys will be in trouble but the majority of the state have been built up off sea level because of storm surge. In the grand scheme of things I would be more worried to live in tornado alley or the arid areas like Arizona.

I plan to move to the Canadian border one day to hopefully put some roots in the future green zone.

I’m at 35ft above sea level at the moment and wish I could go a day without seeing something hateful about my state. It’s frustrating enough that I have to live around all these conservative geezers. It would be really nice if some aging millennials would start a demographic shift. It’s not so long ago that Florida was a swing state.

Haven’t noticed anyone say anything about this yet but cuttlefish bones are flat thin discs. They sell them in pet stores as a calcium supplement.

Not a comfortable phallus if used in that way.

The term carnism was coined by social psychologist and author Melanie Joy in 2001

I have been hearing this term used to demean meat eaters since the late 80s. I guess they were all misinformed too.

It feels like user wasn’t talking about specifically people on the carnivore diet. It came off as a slur against people on the most common diet on earth.

If you are describing omnivores as “carnies” then that would be a slur since most people consider people on the carnivore diet to be unhinged or misinformed.

Slurs exist to denigrate and diminish ones character.

Without argument, more vegetarians will help the world, but I don’t think name calling wins hearts and minds.

“So you like Jazz?”

They generally expel the water out the nostrils so drinking straws love to get lodged in their noses. Then they slowly die of starvation. Isn’t life beautiful?

I encourage you to get to work on the systemic issues outside your control so that in 50 years you won’t feel guilty. By the numbers, Gen Z men are supporting right ring autocrats so I ponder if ignorance is a better excuse than apathy.

The only Boomers I talk these days are old hippies and they would disagree.

Don’t generalize old people. Its irritating and aggravates our sciatica.
