Lol this is the 1887 version of tech bros reinventing railroads.
What’s more efficient than one person driving a car? Carpooling!
In fact, if we made the car driverless it could hold even more customers.
Although we probably want to make designated roads where only driverless cars can go. That makes coordination and safety far easier.
We probably want signals specific to these roads that only the driverless cars need to be concerned with.
And you know what has lower rolling resistance than rubber on roads? Metal. If we make the wheels out of metal we would get insane fuel efficiency
Except now that rips up the road so we need to page the road with metal too.
That’s actually expensive so maybe we just pave directly underneath where the wheels go
If we’re going to do all of this we need more passengers. Maybe we attach cars together and run them on a schedule? That should work for the most people?
Maybe we can run all of this on electricity too! No gas needed! With our metal wheels that’s some insanely low energy costs!

If you’re ever going to kill someone do it with a car. In North America they can’t punish you too hard for it or it sets a precedent even if you did it premeditated. I think the one exception to them being scared to throw the book at vehicular crimes is trying to kill a cop with it, so don’t do that one for sure.

This time is different. This time they have Palantir, and a massive government military industrial complex, militarized police, drones, flock cameras
At least that’s what they think. Things are going to break this year that have never broken in living memory. The American Southwest is going to run out of water. 50 million people will do what exactly when the wells and reservoirs run dry due to a super El Nino and record low reservoir levels?

How what if we built a parkade? We could charge $40 per stall but have 10 or 20 times more cars in the same land!
The sheer volume of cars would saturate the bridges and tunnels in and out of Manhattan, meaning that people would drive just to park, just to drive and queue to leave. The useless mindless illogical economic activity we would be creating would spike GDP so high! It would look great for the economy!

Yeah protein can’t be made without fixed nitrogen to work with. It is kind of fascinating that in all likelihood the vast majority of the protein in our bodies was made using natural gas due to Steam Methane Reforming (SMR) being the primary method for making the hydrogen needed for the Haber-Bosch process.
Ammonium nitrate is effectively solidified natural gas which is also neat to think about.

Most modern cereals are bred to respond to nitrogen well for obvious reasons, and they also happen to be fodder for meat and animal products. Flour, rice, meat, eggs .etc. anything that grows in a grain based feedlot or is grain finished.
Rapeseed should go up in price too. Same with soy. Both of these are high protein high oil fodder crops.
Nitrogen fertillizer turns into protein pretty directly. So the higher the protein content of what we’re talking about, the more fertillizer you need to give it the building blocks it needs to make amino acids into proteins.
I bet farmers will rotate into legumes next year to help replenish their soil and to get better yields for animal fodder. Same with beans if you can grow them, although that can need ammonia too even if it’s less than soy or canola.

This time they can’t print oil so that bullshit stops working, which is why this one might do them in.
Japan and China have been selling US treasuries and buying gold or their own treasuries instead… It’s not looking good. You can only print money needlessly when you have the unique privilege to do it as the reserve currency.

- Comment on Judge bans reporting on trial of six men accused of sexually assaulting teenage girls in Bristol 2 weeks ago:
What’s worse is a lot of cops will refuse to do anything about these gangs as well, so there are more of them out there operating. It reminds me of that 14 year old girl (I think she was 14? Might have been younger) who was raped and reported it to the police and they did nothing, then a stranger raped her again and took her back to an apartment where she was gang raped…
