There is a huge difference between a private owner, and a corporation. Anyhow they might have a common approach, I would say estate ownership should be limited to a certain number through incremental taxation the more you own the larger the tax bracket, like we do for income

I think, that having purpose in life helps, and women tend to prioritize social connection from a very young age, therefore they are on average more connected and that helps in finding purpose. The rest is pure force of will to fulfill the purpose

12·2 years agoThis is right. This requires a discussion a bit wider than 420 letters, even more when they come from Rowling
Km is 103m cm is 10-2m so the difference is 105 i.e. 100000 (one with 5 zeroes)
Or more intuitively one centi-meter is a 1/100 of a meter and Kilo-Meter is 1000 meter therefore 100*1000 100000
It is quite intuitive, once you start using it
What’s weird is why we don’t use Megameters and megagrams (i.e. one metric ton)

Gravity electrical storage is not a battery
The taxes should be an exponential function of the income, no tax brackets
I never understood why it isn’t like that
At least a quadratic or cubic function
But that’s about the local temperature of the year, it says nothing about the glaciers shrinking or expanding, also if glaciers are shrinking, wouldn’t we lose some readings? I mean if the glacier this year is smaller than last year, means that we have lost at least one year readings (most likely much more than that), not to mention that it contradicts that ice gets deposited every year.
It is my understanding that glaciers expand and shrink seasonally every year, and lately the expansion (if any) is always smaller than the shrinking, but it is a trend that started more than 100y ago (basically since when we started keeping record) and has been accellerating, because of this how can you extrapolate when to start dating in reverse? If you never saw a the, let’s call it inflationary phase, how do you know when it reversed? The error might be small… or not
Is there an error in my reasoning (or my assumptions)? Consider that I am not the only one having this doubts.
anyhow do you know the answer? Because I’d have a ton of questions, since the argument is complex and I don’t like the hand-wavy argument “well he expert say so”
Experts, scientists, luminaries in their field were prescribing lobotomies to mentally ills and castrations to gay people less than 100 years ago, so yes please always listen to the experts, but keep doubting their answers
All climatologist on this thread, please raise your hand
If you see the number of down votes, for pointing out something that is worth keeping into account, I’d say that is what is “not allowing”
I concede that maybe it’s just my impression
