 @umaikakudo they have as much right as anyone else. Besides domestic nuclear power does not equal nuclear weapons. You're not smart.

Their goals were noble but clearly mistakes were made. That's too bad. Forcing too much radical change too soon is rarely a good idea. Society is complex, and changes take time. Forcing too much through too soon usually creates a lot of unintended problems. I do think someday the world will move beyond money but we're not ready for all that yet. There still remains the matter of what to use as a medium of common exchange or how to purchase large amounts of material and how to pay people. You can't do that without some form of money. I do believe in more State control of some industries, but I don't believe any central govt body should control all industry. There is certainly a place for the private sector but I do believe in pretty heavy regulation based in common sense and protecting all workers and our common environment.

@jannegrey idk if yt displayed my reply to you but I replied.

@TheLeftPath yeah I wouldn't be surprised. I doubt any system is perfect but the jokes about food shortages in the ussr I'd be willing to guess are pretty exaggerated. The last big famine was in the 20s unless there's something else I don't know about.

@Dongonzales123 I can see you are totally uninformed about nuclear power. Leave, go inform yourself and come back. Solar power is great and of course it's abundant in the desert but nothing generates power like nuclear power. Go educate yourself.

Two minutes is no time at all to shower lol but I remember hearing the same thing about the toilet lol, and sometimes reusing our house water outside. I grew up and still live in dry area, the outskirts of san diego.

Is it legal? What is it?

@PrimeRibb69 actually lol quite the opposite.
2
@jannegrey I get that now. I had a fairly chill reply that I see I suspected correctly YT did not show you.
2
Lolol. Well unfortunately in the US now the same could be about it (where I'm guessing we both live). Clearly there's still a lot of work to do before we find the perfect system that provides everyone with their minimum basic needs met on a daily basis, on an ongoing stable basis.

 @duran9664 the brine from desal plants could be reused in so many brilliant ways. People are idiots if they don't think the brine has further value.

Desal plants are the way of the future for low-water areas. Until we can magic up water from the air I see no other way. Natural precipitation ain't cutting it. Water pipelines can work for some areas but won't work for all. Nuclear power can power the plants vs FF which are polluting (as is ugly and damaging NG) and there are many brilliant and promising uses for the brine and resulting salts from this process. With a little innovation, commitment and investing by governments and/or private sources desal plants and the resultant brine materials can be incredible vital resources. Simply evaporate all of the fluid to get to the salts and allow to pile up in an area of the plant, then sell or give to nations and regions that use salts during the winter. Filter the brine for other valuable materials. Between evaporation and filtering, no brine need to be disposed anywhere on land or water. It's really just obvious common sense. I'm surprised when people say that these methods aren't useful or promising when to me they're beyond obvious. I guess I'm just a mega genius that won't quit. I mean I never thought so personally but I mean- when I hear arguments it sound silly to me I tend to feel that way. I guess I really am a super ultra mega genius because I can see things that are simply sensible. Thanks AM for another fine well-researched video I just as usual disagree with you in some parts. And that's ok.

@gardnep oh? Lol no.

It's always this way, just as it was during the Great Dust Bowl during the Great Depression in the 1930s in the US, where I live. Ultimately environmental degradation caused by poor farming practices both on family farms and especially by industry will always cause serious problems unless remediation practices are employed.

@damonroberts7372 external weather patterns are no doubt a significant contributing factor but I doubt they are the only one. The other factor? Domestic farming practices. Always.
1
@damonroberts7372 perhaps but if you are clued in surely you'll recognize the way to overcome all these issues is thru regenerative agriculture. Take a look at some regenerative ag videos if you haven't yet. I have a playlist but you can easily find them yourself. What they achieve is nothing short of amazing.

Interesting.... Sounds like the current system of how the EBT card works. It's essentially digitized money but it can only be used for non-hot, food goods, essentially grocery scrip. For those who get general cash benefits aka "welfare" they can use them for anything. It's regular money. Not sure if that's a perfect analogy but that's what it made me think of.

@jannegrey well I hope you didn't have any bad effects from the study but I guess I take a little issue with presentations like this that claim that these hyper-trash politicians have our best interests at heart and somehow they're the experts on anything which if you have any life experience at all, you would know how utterly ridiculous that is. Trusting these Congressional pieces of trash over ourselves is probably the worst mistake any of us can make in our lives. I'm sure some studies aren't done properly but without doing studies how is any medical researcher supposed to gain knowledge about any proposed medication or OTC supplement? That's all I meant.
1
@DannyGruesome no lol idk. Guess it's just how I was feeling that day. I posted like three chill follow-up comments and it looks like YouTube blocked them all. Idek why they were totally nice. The censorship algo is so aggressive these days.

 @nabilfreeman make me.

@johnnynick3621 erm, no. Just because somebody earns more money than the next person doesn't make them a better person. As the other brother said there are a hundred reasons why someone earns a higher salary and few of them have to do with rank merit. Also in the first world we have never been more productive as a whole, and yet poverty is at an all-time high. We have more than enough to provide for everyone's basic needs whether they work or not, whether they are disabled or sick or old or whatever, and at a minimum, that is what I want to see. I don't agree that everyone should be paid the same, that I don't, but I do hereby state and affirm that everyone deserves to have their minimum needs covered by some sort of government provision if they cannot get it for themselves, or for whatever reason wish not to. So chew on that for a minute big hoss.

 @TheBooban but why not use it for irrigation? That's what it should go towards. Recycled gray and black water I mean.
1
@muha0644 that's true that did happen- and let me ask, how the literal fuck does the military turn on their own govt?? What the actual fuck. What did they want and why did they hate their parliament all of a sudden? ..... Is a question I would ask if you or anyone knows the answer. That's some crazy shit. A lot of people forget that happened. But I guess all military bosses are fascists.

@Iv4Bez hmm..are you sure most of the public wanted (or thought they wanted) that fatass alcoholic known as Boris Yeltsin??

@eric_864 true, but civilization is inevitable. Unfortunately sometimes it brings problems.

@garethmartin6522 well what she's saying is, in the US for instance, there were a lot of raw materials and innate geography that contributed to its develop. That's not to say that other factors didn't play a part, of course they did, but without these natural buffs, the US may not be the dominant power it is today. Or it still may, who knows, but the point is, it would probably be somewhat less likely if any of these factors were different.

@jordannewman177 well I do. Look it's not a simple black and white issue, naturally there were issues, but you sound like Joseph McCarthy over there. Why don't you sit down Joe? Why don't you have a seat??... Have a seat.

@stonecoldsteveaustin9353 there need never be any losers in life. Sports, sure. Games, ok. But trade? No there doesn't need to be and there shouldn't be; it's just that due to the greed of some who dictate their right to take more and more and more and as much as they want and to harm other people to get it, dummies like you come along and say "oh well this is just totally natural". Yes some people are very greedy this is true but that doesn't mean we have to allow it. We don't have to agree with it. We can oppose it. We can create economic systems that provide for everyone. I'm sure there's no perfect system but you're way wrong if you think that it's natural that "some people" just have to "lose". Not by my values it isn't. You're out here thinking that human beings and animals are the same thing. Surely by now you know this isn't true.

@ShadowSumac not that free. There is so much bogus subsidization of the largest and most profitable industries in the US they otherwise would totally fail or at the least would be much less profitable if they weren't completely and artificially propped up by their bought and paid for servants in the US congress. This being primarily oil and gas and Big Ag, altho I'm sure there are others. We live in a massive multinational transnational large-corporate oligopoly right now, a corporate totalitarianship and I think that sucks both my ass and yours. I think there should definitely be a private market but without controlling the large corporations, and setting high protection standards for Labor and the environment, we're just asking for them to f**k us right in the a**. Oh- and they do. This is bad.

@ShadowSumac but why when it was on sale in the 99¢ bin??
1
@CaneofLoxley galaxy facts Yep I agree
1
@A_Haunted_Pancake yeah that sucks genitals but it's not like that anymore
1
@volition2015 interesting. This was in reference to Afghanistan?
1
@ShadowSumac oh, something about reading Communism for Dummies lol
1
@CaneofLoxley there's certainly enough resources in the world I believe to provide for everyone's basic needs and you're right there's a small elite class always getting in the way of that. I do think it is unrealistic to expect good values from everyone tho. Some people are just crap and are very aggressive and only care about their own desires (let alone those who are basically sociopathic or worse). I do want to see a diverse sector of trade, business, and commerce but I also want it to be heavily regulated to protect the biosphere and all Labor. I would love to see a size limit enforced on corporations and hard wealth limits. I see no reason why we can't demand some sort of minimum material guarantees (MMGs) from any organized first world govt. We could end most poverty with those alone. So I won't say I'm communist per se but definitely socialist. I want people to feel free and able to create their own businesses provided they abide by strict labor and environmental standards. I would like to see heavy control on the banking sector. I would like to see a Green new deal but more aggressive and comprehensive than previously envisioned. Utopia isn't really possible but most definitely a sustainable green world is.

And yet for some reason cannabis is still not legal the world over I mean.... What the literal fuck. Not really that apropos to this conversation but just kind of something I'd like to throw out there. That's God's plant right there and it's treated like the devil's ass cheese. I'm just tired of it. The criminalization of nature continues.
1
@ShadowSumac oh lol it's not a big deal. I was just making a throwaway comment in response to where you told someone to read something other than communism for dummies lol
