It is true that Africa's population is going through massive booms artificially propped up through aid, aid which in direct competition with native agriculture, actually even harming their ability to naturally provide their own means of sustainability. And that's before you even consider impacts of things like the tsetse fly which costs African Ag business BILLIONS. http://www.irinnews.org/news/2009/05/12/tsetse-fly-costs-agr...
These things are a potential ticking time bomb if not truly considered in the fullest of their implications. The African population, usually dependent on having as many offspring as possible to offset a low survival rate, is set to bring more people into the world than the entirety of Europe in the next 15 years, with arguably little means to account for their well-being.
And reactions like yours based off emotion rather than willingness to provide facts or logically argue are what push people away.

On a planet with a surface ~3/4 covered in water, I've always just assumed since I was young that hotter weather would just mean more intense water cycles. Anywhere not landlocked on the wrong side of a watershed could stand to benefit from the extra humidity. Hopefully California can actually make use of this. There was recent rainfall the past couple years, but they have a long way to come in terms of infrastructure and also dealing with their eco laws at arms with building more reservoirs and other means of avoiding the fluctuating seasons of dry and wet.
It reminded me constantly of John Steinbeck on the drought cycle in the Salinas Valley, “During the dry years, the people forgot about the rich years, and when the wet years returned, they lost all memory of the dry years. It was always that way.”
For anyone who hasn't, I highly recommend checking out the drone footage of the Oroville dam. The scale of destruction was massive, and rumor has it even sparked a tiny gold rush after so much bedrock and sediment was churned up.

What nobody seems to be mentioning here is that under treaties, and especially the space treaties in effect, a kinetic bombardment follows all the guidelines and is completely allowed, while still potentially having the effects of a nuclear yield, especially pertaining to bunker busting.
I was wondering the same thing. I saw this exact same framework posted weeks ago, and the discussion ended up stating that of all the mini css frameworks, this one is one of the largest.
Most of the expressed opinions here do come from a bit of wishful thinking, but I think you're ignoring that Uber doesn't exactly have a monopoly. The service they offer already has competition and doesn't exactly require an insane technical expertise. Self-driving was a means to providing that after they've already expanded. So far only massive injections of cash have been the fuel behind their massive expansion success. Without self-driving tech, they lose the race to the monopoly they wanted as an end goal and at best need to restart and double down on their losses without leading the industry anymore... or let it burn.
