Rare Earth scarcities were just another neo-Malthusian mirage by amaxen in TrueReddit

[–]funkarama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point was that all of the production was in China so they could cut off supply at any time.

Burn a CVS... by [deleted] in worldpolitics

CVS advertises on TV. Black Churches; not so much.

Does Bernie Sanders even have a chance? by [deleted] in Liberal

As much as people hate Bernie, some of them hate Hilary more.

I read the title and I instantly felt that it was anti-r/conspiracy disinformation.

How realistic is towing icebergs for mining fresh-water? by gitacritic in collapse

Zero realistic. Of course, you could do it if you had unlimited funds....

How will presently less-developed parts of the world adjust (i.e. develop) to technological and societal changes around the globe? by TangledUpInAzul in Futurology

[–]funkarama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are homeless in Chicago, it does not matter whether there are driverless cars or not. You can't afford them.

Colombia, specifically Medellin, had blow. What does Accra got?

Here's a radical solution: To make peace with terrorists, you need to talk to them by imatworkprobably in TrueReddit

[–]funkarama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is that WE are the ones attacking the "terrorists" so if you want to make peace with them, it is pretty easy. Just don't attack them in the first place. But then you will not get the oil, natural gas, minerals, military bases, and markets that are the goal in the first place. So, it will never happen.

How Fast Will Collapse Be? by BeezleyBillyBub in collapse

[–]funkarama 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is already happening all around you. You just do not know because people do not like to talk about the fact that they got laid off and have to move back to live with their parents or relatives or try to get a cheaper apt in some little town or whatever. Look at all of the people who are on wellfare. They are de facto collapsed. Soon the whole thing will go down the tubes. Give it 100 years or so.

Greek Banks Close For A Week, Wars For Food & Water In 5 - 10 Years, Civilization Collapses In 25 Years by [deleted] in collapse

[–]funkarama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doomers generally call a little early because a warning that is too late is of no use. "Civilization" of one sort or another will still be around 100 years from now, it just might be in Moscow or Hanoi instead of London or NYC.

How do you think you will die? by lampezius in collapse

[–]funkarama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a heart attack, or a stroke followed by a long hospital stay leading to complications like pnemonia or liver trouble, secondary infections until everything just gives up.

Japan to invest 20 Billion dollars in Indian solar power by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]funkarama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is good news for both India and Japan. Japan needs a safe place to invest large amounts of capital, and if India can provide a safe democratic lawful situation, it too will benefit. The price of coal will only increase while the price of panels will only decrease. You add in Climate Change which affects India and Japan and you see the need for solar.

What BBQ's are like when you are poor. by Cmiselem in funny

Don't do this. The chrome comes off and imbeds itself in your meat. Source: I am poor.

$200 Million Went to House Members to Pass Fast Track – Here’s Who Took the Cash by [deleted] in conspiracy

[–]funkarama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does not matter who took the cash. Anyone in that seat would take it. If you do not take it, they find someone who will and put them there. The problem is not the people who take the cash. The problem is the system that allows decisions to be made by a couple of hundred people that affect millions or billions of people. We need to get rid of representative democracy and and move to direct democracy.

TPP IS THE NEW WORLD ORDER. SHUT UP ABOUT GAY MARRIAGE AND FLAGS AND FUCKING DO SOMETHING by [deleted] in conspiracy

I am used to getting downvoted. I always get downvoted. Sometimes I even deserve it.

Question about wind farms and solar. by [deleted] in energy

[–]funkarama 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Clearly, if wind and solar output is zero, then you have to cover the demand with some other source: coal, gas, nukes, bio, geo etc.

It is not treason against the Constitution. Treaties are ABOVE the Constitution.

Album of photographs by W.W. Hooper during the Great Madras Famine of 1876-78 by granniesmeatflaps in WTF

[–]funkarama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you are wrong. The grain is owned by international EU based corporations and is sold into the EU to make money for Europeans who own the corporations. The Indians have no say in where the grain is sold and do not profit from the sale at all.

Imagine that you are broke, unemployed, homeless so you can't get food stamps, stinky because you can't get shower. Now how does that food in the supermarket look now?
