I saw this TV show already. When does Elon start building the train that goes round and round the world?
an American-Israeli company
Fuck that
Stardust told me it has no outdoor tests planned and that it will not conduct any until relevant regulations are established; its framework proposes extensive laboratory testing and computer modeling before beginning small-scale testing that they will “tightly monitor,” eventually scaling up to dispersing the particles across a wider area.
That’s good at least maybe
Yeah, I have zero trust that they would test it in secret
Yeahhhhhhhhh
Or just somewhere with super lax regulationsI’m sure some authoritarian leader would welcome them with an open wallet.
I dgaf where it’s from, can we please just stop with global shit like this that inevitably will benefit only a few rich?
Who are the clowns that invested in this idea?
Right? Who’s going to pay money for this “service”? How would you even monetize it? What country would pay money for it? Most countries wouldn’t pay a dime unless everyone paid the same. The problem is that even if this was a positive thing, if you’re Belgium, and france and Germany pay into it, you’ll get the effects without paying. Unless you can make it specifically act for the “subscribers” nobody will buy. And even then, the gaps would make it so others who don’t do it, will minimize the effect of those that do.
Logically it doesn’t make sense. Let alone the scientific side, which we simply don’t know. At best it delays the problem. At worst? Who knows.
If it doesn’t make logical sense but it happens, that means you are making incorrect assumptions about the world.
Capitalism is very capable of creating commons that help its power structure, like public highway systems, the global positioning system, or the 2008 bailouts.
Having the continued habitability of the Earth depend on maintenance that only US megacorporations can perform is appealing to the US upper class.
Theough a Marxist lens, this is no stranger than workers going on strike and calling for a general strike. These investors are hoping to get their money back through capital class solidarity, likely in the form of massive investment and big government contracts.
This seems like a scam that’s collected $60m so far. Hiding behind regulations lets them keep the scam going longer.
No, now it needs to fuck off and die.
