Re: Don't know whether to laugh or cry

Love or hate the EU, but this is exactly why it was formed. To stop or at least provide some checks on rapacious corporate America.

Re: My Goodness!

There is no maybe about it.

Do try and keep up. Or don't. FAFO.

Re: Info since ONLY 1961

Indeed, if you ignore history, you will never see that global temps have NEVER increased this fast and the last time it was this high, life was very, very different and large parts of the planet were uninhabitable.

Re: WHY has the historical data been changed to lower temps?

All that blathering and you are still wrong about everything.

Re: Its all very depressing

Nuclear poisoned itself.

Re: We are doomed

I know right? However will we live without endless plastic tat disposal everything! Why the very thought is outright crazy commie talk!

What do mean, why isn't it happening? It's been happening for 40 years.

Do try and keep up.

You wouldn't know science even if you took the 6th grade class over again.

Re: We are doomed

We've already hit the buffers and gone right past them.

There is no more safety margin. None.

Re: We are doomed

All we have to do is look at the downvotes of your post and those agreeing with you to see we are doomed.

Re: The idea of Zuck, Thiel, et al. hiding out in their bunkers...

You would think with their expensive educations they might have learned this.

In the U.S. they just moved over to car loans.

Currently a 29 year high of car loan defaults.

And most of the rest us El Reg readers as well.

Re: Big corp

And the boards of directors literally bathe in sunk cost fallacy.

Re: Vicious circle with high demand

Uber's $3 BILLION loss EVERY quarter says there is no demand.

Re: @Headley_Grange

Jobs that don't pay the bills are not jobs, they are exploitation.

Prices will go up? And this will be different from the past 100 years, why?

Wages have not kept up with inflation for 50 years. Read that again.

Re: All the more reason

It's already in the U.S. Constitution. The Commerce Clause:

The Commerce Clause refers to Article 1, Section 8, Clause 3 of the U.S. Constitution, which gives Congress the power “to regulate commerce with foreign nations, among states, and with the Indian tribes.”

There are NO exceptions. None. Those words are the entirety of the law. Many people WANT exceptions and many have been unfortunately given, but Congress has full power to do as it pleases regarding commerce.

Your title says it all and is true of every U.S. corporation and the very tall ladder of grifters below them.
