It is a series of mult day races using diy solar bicycles. No follow car, so if something breaks it has to be fixed using local resources.

It is for the US. They use Gallup polls over time, but the recent one are household incomes of below $40,000 for low income and $100,000 for high income, with the rest being middle income.

Also it is for the US, so even low income households are relativly wealthy and have the time to do something about it. The big impact decision for food is not to buy organic, but become vegetarian or vegan. For transport the best option is not to drive a car at all.

Wasn’t the yellow vest protest movement in France against higher fuel taxes?

Higher fuel taxes do not help, if you do not offer a working alternative for poor people. They just end up being a tax on the poor. That was seen as especially bad as the wealth tax was just cut. So a lot of the protest was really more about cut of austerity measuers, increase of minimum wage and the like. Obviously fossil fuel propaganda tries to spin it as a pro fossil fuel protests though.

They predicted peak population about now at 7.7billion or so. They did include falling birth rates into their models as even back then rich countries had below replacement rate fertility rates. As of right now we are not a peak population though.

Click on the gear icon next to “YouTube” on the bottom of the video. The top menu point allows you to switch the language and there you need to select English.

There are some other ones as well:

If you wait in a line, it would be better for you to have less people in front of you. That does not devalue the life of everybody in front of you. Same story for demographics. There are advantages to having a shrinking population. That does not mean that it is the morally right call to commit mass murder or something like that.

The reality is that fertility rates on all continents, but Africa are below replacement today. That means many countries are going to have shrinking populations in the near future. Obviously that has consequences and at least I do not see a problem in discussing them.

Also no demographics are not going to destroy capitalism by themself. However less workers means workers gain power. If and how they use that is a different question and the fact of the matter is nobody knows. It is a bit like watching a weather forecast and complaining that it does not include a call to revolution.

Last year. He introduced tariffs this year.

They want a cheap work force to steal wealth. That can be done by having a lot of supply in other words natalism or it can be done by lowering demand using technology. They obviously go for both.

Does it? The Canadian fertility rate dropped below replacement in 1971, which is also the case for most other Western countries.

There are a lot of problems with that. First of all just looking at the elderly is a problem. There are also children, which do cost a society quite a lot of resources. With a low birth rate that group is becoming smaller and smaller. Right now that dependency ratio is at 41.43%. That is actually incredibly low. The US is at 53.88% and Japan is at 69.94%. That is dependent person per worker.

Then the assumption of not keeping up with certain services. Although that is true, there is another site to it the video completely ignores. The population is shrinking and the country has a lot of high quality infrastructure. That means low housing prices, as they are already built. No need to built new railways, streets, sewage systems and the like.

That also goes for the economy. Constant worker shortages, mean the most competitive companies will pay the highest wages and out compete weaker ones. Therefore the average worker will become more competitive.

One important thing here is that South Korea has an incredibly low fertility rate. 2.1 is replacement level. So 0.7 means each generation is 2/3 smaller then the previous one. However most places in the world are above 1.4, which would just mean 1/3 less people per generation, which makes it a lot more manageable. Also again migration. The world is still above replacement level of 2.1.

In power saving mode it can run between 200 hours on the low side and 500 hours or in some cases even much longer of constant interactive use, not standby.

Okay that is insane.

The good part is, that a lot of it is recycled and if you have the necessary skills, then it is possible to DIY them.

That one was about 160,000 USD. They are pretty expensive to built.

They currently elect leaders to a board of directors using what seems like a more complex system to allow for different groups to have a say in it.

Every $1 invested in resilient infrastructure yields a $4 return in avoided recovery costs, according to case studies published by the World Bank and the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure. FEMA estimates those cost savings can be even higher in the U. S. – and suggests federally funded climate mitigation grants “can save the nation $6 in future disaster costs for every $1 spent on hazard mitigation.”

Just saying.

Also cities change a lot. Only 35% of owner occupied housing in the US is older then 1969. Construction in the US is also an over $2trillion industry, so just changing new construction is a trillion dollar project.

Yes, but any librarian you might ask for the directory, is going to ask you what you are looking for.

Between 1990 and 2023 CO2 emissions globally have grown by 66.27%, while GDP has grown by 179.22%. Most developed countries even had economic growth with falling emissions.

Batteries loose capacity over time. So “end-of-life batteries” are batteries at the end of their designed lifespan, when the capacity is at a low point.
