This seems like... a bad idea? If I understand you correctly, each region maintains disaster relief infrastructure & staff with help from the central/national government? If so, does that translate to richer regions being less affected by calamities (since they can pour more money into said infrastructure than the bare minimum)?

In most countries (with such plans in place) the national government maintains all disaster relief management to assist local governments, right?

Sorry I've asked a lot of questions, but I'm genuinely interested to know!

Devils advocate: retiring an old service dog means you'd need to invest in training another pup which is way more expensive than titanium teeth and dealing even with animal cruelty complaints and/or lawsuits. Also "bleed blue" fanboys will see this as badass, so its free PR.

As a mortal/moral person advocate: WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU.

My first reaction was, "her?". But the more I read on (until the paywalled) the more I liked the idea. Her Younger audiences must feel alienated & dejected by the popular discussions on climate change. This could reinvigorate a newer demographic into action instead of apathy/doomerism.

I just wish they don't dwell on "every little helps" BS and hold big corporations & governments responsible to make a change. Not sure if this article mentioned it, its paywalled. 🤷‍♂️

Aah yes wait for the racist boomers to die so young-uns will outnumber them. A cunning plan!

Yeah take no creative risks get no box office rewards, simple as.

And megalopolis wasn't a risk, Coppola fronted the $120mn so they're going make money on that flop.

Hoback argues

In any case, says Hoback, the identity of the real Satoshi is a matter of public interest. “This person is potentially on track to become the wealthiest on Earth,” says Hoback. “If countries are considering adopting this in their treasuries or making it legal tender, the idea that there's potentially this anonymous figure out there who controls one-twentieth of the total supply of digital gold is pretty important.”

Currently bitcoin or any block chain based currency is more of a grift than financial freedom. However countries like El Salvador have taken it up as official currency, so real lives can be affected by whoever holds that bitcoin stockpile.
