Its highly inefficient for millions of individuals welfare recipients to being independently purchasing accommodation, entertainment, utilities, food.
A superior solution would be for Governments to setup large establishments where all of these services could be provided centrally and directly. Individuals could contribute their labor to maintain the establishment.
Populations in some countries are expanding infinitely. These countries should adapt now, by reducing family sizes and generally operating within resource limits based on national output and productivity. Losses of 100,000 today will be 100 million tomorrow.
It is unrealistic to imagine that countries such as Mali will voluntarily adopt family planning or quickly reach a sub-replacement fertility rate. The only limit to their population growth is incoming food supplies. About a quarter of the population is already reliant on international aid.
A major driver of inflation is Baby Boomers retiring. If we want to contain inflation, we should immediately increase the full retirement age to 70 and partial to 65.
Secondly, we can immediately ban the purchase of Crytpocurrencies, to drive down the price and hence attractiveness of mining and electricity rates.
The market is fundamentally unfair: Indie developers are forced to pay 30% commissions, whilst mega-studios get sweetheart deals of 10%.
These sweetheart deals are practically impossible for Indies (including ex-AAA workers) to compete against and replicate, and its leading to industry stagnation.
As long as the standard rate at Apple, Google, Valve, Microsoft, Sony remains 30%, I would not advise anyone to work in the games industry. At least Nintendo gives customers 5% cashback on Switch, leaving an effective commission rate of 25% (a major reason why that platform has been so successful and an oasis of success for Indie devs).
The first thing a GameDev Union should fight for is fair commission on these platforms, independent of entity size.
Why do we insist on composting or burying so much trash? Let's just burn plastic in the same high-temperature facilities common across Scandinavia. Plastic and packaging use is still only 5% of the oil going up in smoke in engines.
The history of these African nations has always been, and will forever be, rule by a strongman. Better that they are aligned with the West, than China.
Sounds like a great time to promote contraception, abortion, education for women as global values. Africa and West Asia's exponential population growth had to end at some point.
The fertility rate in Ukraine is 1.23. In Afghanistan in 2001 it was 7.39. Vietnam in 1960 was 6.35. Its much easier to fight guerilla war when you have hordes of young people. Ukraine is old, but so is Russia. Every male killed in this war there is probably the end of male lineage for that family.
Economic sanctions will do nothing for the Ukrainian men and women fighting for their homes on the ground. Western nations need to begin running air missions over Ukraine directly. With control of the air, the local Ukrainian troops can easily triumph on the ground.
That's not really accurate. I have a few modest Indie PC games for sale and I still need to remove dozens of torrent links every few months from Google, often for the same sites over and over again (just with a slight URL variation).
Google should just de-list well-known torrent sites completely.
Air travel won't be back to normal (if that's even the intention) until vaccination, mask, and testing requirements are abandoned.
Sitting on an 11-hour plane ride with a German woman shouting at you every 30 minutes that your mask is too low (my experience flying from the US to Berlin last week) is a very unpleasant experience.
