A study from 1989 doesn't apply to modern plants built 35 years later, it really doesn't make sense to extrapolate it like this.

Also my first idea, but I think that'd only make sense if it's a few centuries old and completely forgotten about creating weird superstitions. There's nothing actually dangerous about long-term nuclear waste storage, all of these markings would exist mostly to prevent people from digging in the area and potentially uncovering the waste.

Not to mention that it'd have to be a very small area, nowhere near the size of a single city – nevermind a whole US state.

...for a few hours, until you need water. And food. And shelter.

Please don't tell me that you think people living in the woods by themselves because our extremely advanced modern society with practically limitless resources compared to nearly all of history can't provide basic needs like that for everyone participating in it is a-okay.

Exactly, automation shouldn't kick some people out of jobs and leave others just as overworked as before, it should automate things that don't absolutely need humans and just decrease the workload of (currently) irreplaceable people so that more people can work as much as one did before and still get the same salary.

Hell, unemployment as a whole should not exist in the modern era. If there's "too few jobs", decrease working hours and increase wages accordingly so the total monthly/yearly/whatever pay is the same. And if there just physically aren't enough resources to accomodate so many people having decent salaries (which is absolutely not the case right now), then we should start talking about overpopulation.

Most modern international corps (can we just start calling them megacorps now?) would fit in there

I could be wrong but I don't think there even is a way to fully prevent adblocking without something like the proposed web integrity API, since it's all clientside and the browser can easily just choose not to render any ads.

Overall I do agree that less people using adblocks means less attention from corps and less adblock-blocks like youtube's, but I'm conflicted on whether that's a good enough reason to have most people suffer through so many ads.

Free to read? Where? Without links your arguments are just as good as a flat earther's "do your own research".
