It is important to practice with moving targets.
Solar is unsustainable.
Urbanites do not know anything about this planet.
Too little direct experience.
What a JAR.
Just

Racist.
PS...and I am not referencing race when I name it a "black hole". I am referencing physics...to describe the ultimate destroyer that sucks in all material values never to be seen again.
Baltimore is a Black 🕳. All who touch it will be destroyed.
BUILD A WALL.
No.
This is not Russian Strategic thinking, Jim.
You romanticize that which you do not know.
Liberia.
Exactly that happened, and continues to happen.
See?
THAT is why Baltimore is even more doomed than Detroit.
No amount of geographic, demographic, geologic, or monetary gifts can overcome a psychology of entitlement bent on destruction.
Baltimore in particular, and Maryland generally, are black holes that will destroy all they contact.
Build a wall around them. And build a moat too. Only use the resources within once those within are dead and turned to dust.
Gold is an element that is very industrially useful, and artfully beautiful. It is the most marketable of all commodities totally irrespective of monetization.
ERGO it does not require backing. It is the backing by which token-money is tethered to barter.
What's the Proof of Work good for?
Can you eat it?
Wear it?
Drive it?
Use it in the creation or repair of products?
Work is not valuable.
Successfully COMPLETED production, to which work is one input, is valuable.
The distinction therein, and failure to grasp it, is the problem with the Proof of Work concept.
Not all work is productive.
For instance, you can ride your stationary bike forever, and you will never complete the tour de France. Nevertheless it will be very hard work, very hard UNPRODUCTIVE work.
What part of the Constitution do you think still stands?
Sceptic.
You don't need an outhouse. You need a sceptic.
No. He us native. His diction is typical of the century in which he lived.
SOON.
It is the currency, stupid.
You cannot adopt Karl Marx's 5th Plank of Communism, Central Banking with a credit monopoly in the form of the Euro, as the centerpiece of your economy without sovietizing your governments into an EUSSR, scleroticizing your industries into a set of oligopolies, and Eugenicizing your population into demographic retreat.
These are all symptoms of the Soviet-Disease.
It isvery simple: Stop doing that.
It is very hard to do, however, because Sovietization transforms productive and mental midgets into political gods... And they will resist reform to the death of the nation.
It was Totalitarian zeitgeist. Simple as that.
It means the social and legal barriers to Totalitarianism have been breached and require redesign.
"Climate Change" is a ruse to trigger cession of Rights to Make Governments Totalitarian Again to satisfy the bloodlust of Malthusians and Eugenicists.
The world is not historically hot.
The world is not historically warm.
The world in the most recent glaciation came very close to CO2 levels that would end all plant and animal life in a mass extinction similar to that of the Late Paleozoic Ice House, when essentially all animal life was wiped away, and nature started over.
We are in an ice age right now.
Right now there are Ice caps on both Poles.
That is atypically cold for this planet.
This planet did not have polar Ice caps from the end of the Late Paleozoic Ice House when nature started over 350 M years ago until just a few million years ago.
There is a forest of redwoods buried in the soil of Ellesmere Island Canada, just a few hundred miles from the North Pole.
They lived there around 8 million years ago.
It means that 8 million years ago the climate at the North Pole resembled the places where Redwoods grow - like California.
No amount of hockey-stick charts, climate models, or activist university people will change that independently verifiable enormous forest-sized physical fact.
There's a freaking Redwood Forest buried in the soil near the North Pole.
Any climate theory or history that excludes that gigantic evidence is simply dreaming on acetate.
When moral courage is plentiful physical courage is unnecessary...because things do not get so out of hand.
Jesus is a Jew.
Lieutenan Colonel Stewart Scheller.
And there have been a legion of others who have passed unnoticed by the media.
You have inexplicably excluded State and local government workers.
Why?
