The tree clearing chemicals they use during golf course construction are much more carcinogenic than the sprays used for upkeep.
Only half a million, but still!
Stomp summoned this book from the depths of my memory. Big things in store for those big paws!
Do you think you can have effective communism with only self interested parties? That was my take away from your comment, that you can get communism as a logical extension of greedy motives?
When someone says capitalism is human nature, I don't think they mean that industrial automation allowing unskilled workers is human nature. So they're using a different meaning of capitalism. To address their concern, you would show counter examples of large groups of people working together for a common good rather than their own enrichment. Rather than just saying they're using the word wrong.
Good video by Dan Murrel on the subject. There is a colonel of truth in that there has been a race to the bottom for film studios. But this is unlikely to help the situation, and will likely only lead to fewer movies overall.
Why will oxygen levels go up? If anything, I'd think more oxygen being tied up in CO2 would cause O2 levels to go down.
When you survey people on the street, would they use that definition? English isn't a prescriptive language, the definition is what people use it as.
I don't think the Marxist definition of capitalism lines up with the colloquial definition. Colloquially, it's thought of as systems in which money is exchanged for goods and services. As opposed to communism, where it is not. (These are both oversimplified)
When people say capitalism has been around for thousands of years, what they mean is the colloquial definition. Redefining their terms with the Marxist version doesn't address their actual point.

I'd love a stick like this, so much fun waving it around.

I really love the huge sense of scale this ship gives off. Especially when compared to the absolutely massive guild heighliner.

But Morgoth himself the Valar thrust through the Door of Night beyond the Walls of the World, into the Timeless Void; and a guard is set forever on those walls, and Eärendil keeps watch upon the ramparts of the sky.
I've tried to upload pretty high quality, but you might be able to find higher quality from reverse image search. I've got some more too that I might post in the future.
These things are scary huge
JWST is on the right.
Below is a new picture from a week or two ago. NASA article

Here's Hubble's pictures. They're still breathtaking too!
Larger rotor is more efficient. Agree on the hard to control, but that's moot if you have a pilot, since they'll need to be qualified to rotary wing. If you don't have a pilot, then you'll need to change the regulations significantly. I think that's what they're betting on, but it's not a given my any means.
