Everything on the Internet is stolen from somewhere. Reddit was at least half twitter screenshots.

No discovery is useless. Even if it isn't used now, it could lay the groundwork for more useful discoveries later.

The age to buy is 21. You talk about crutches like they're a bad thing. If people say it helped, it probably did. I gotta say, though, that I disagree with your stance on all this. People should be able to enjoy things even if they're unhealthy. I use vapes on and off. Every 6 months I'll stop or start using them. I just think they feel nice. I don't think the government should be able to take that away. Why do you want to control other people's choices about their own body so badly?

30k is still too expensive for that. 20k.

Whales definitely do. They even have regional accents. It probably isn't as complex as ours, but we can't even understand that.

Saving power for even a few extra months still saves money. You can have both a heat pump and a normal gas furnace. They aren't even that expensive. If you have a high heating bill, it could pay itself off in a few years.

From what I've seen it's that they just aren't ready. They don't actually work that well, they're fragile, and very expensive. I agree they should still at least give them to more people than they seem to be doing. Some people have to be able to afford them even if they need replaced often.

Just put the laser high enough above the ground, like in orbit, and nothing will ever reach the lens.

How exactly is that a strawman argument? You act like technology does nothing for us. I agree that fighting for higher wages and other protections also makes things better. I don't understand why any of this makes the luddites right. Tech literally does work for us. You say tech makes people appear richer but it really only hurts us. What about medicine? What about the learning we can do through the Internet? What about the million other things that we can do that our ancestors couldn't?

Yeah bring back telephone operators too while we're at it! No one should ever lose a job! Jobs are a person's whole life and they should get to do it even if something else could do it better!

Stopping tech from taking jobs just doesn't make any sense. If we did have the perfect economic system, having that tech would lower the overall amount of work that needs to be done. That is a good thing. We should fight for fair labor practices, but fighting to keep labor itself around is the wrong idea. Why keep useless jobs around? Just to keep people employed?

People like you are the problem. All this pointless violence and you just want more.
