Renewables are cheaper per kwh, but it's yet to be seen if they're cheaper when you get to higher grid renewable percentages and need to involve massive grid storage.

Agree, but the leadtime is very long, so where's the best place to invest in 10 years? Hopefully the grid is much more renewable then.

Corporation controller also seems apt, since that's what their wealth usually is.

Remember, refineries are the bottleneck not the wells and pipelines. So targeting it all on refineries has the highest impact to production.

Donating to United24 hopefully helps if you can't volunteer yourself. Does anyone have info on how to donate to Ukraine anti oil more specifically?

Millions of people died in China during the Great Leap, with estimates ranging from 15 to 55 million, making the Great Chinese Famine the largest or second-largest famine in human history

conservative estimates, Stalin was responsible for the deaths of at least 7 million people, or about 4.2% of USSRs total population.

I thought it was taking about concession stand concessions, and was really confused as to how they were vital to the bourgeois patching capitalism. Now I'm more confused.

Is it because the golden ratio contains the square root of three which is used in constructing triangles in 3d?

Wait no, it uses the square root of 5 plus one, that is pretty magical!

Genocide is definitely politics, but should definitely be talked about.

Or use the Ukraine flag since Russia is currently committing genocide with forced relocations including children. Russification is not great.

Boeing makes jdam bombs, that would put them up there.

Defense of Ukraine is a great example of how weapons can be used for good. But definitely not all that these companies do, as Gaza shows.

Literally though. And there's a whole practice of hostile architecture that makes it harder and more uncomfortable to be homeless.

I wonder if hostile architecture also kills people. Increasing exposure to cold and reducing opportunities to rest doesn't seem good for your chances for survival. I guess that would solve homelessness, but in the worst most morbid way possible.
