If money is imaginary then why can't we guarantee food, shelter, clothing, and education for every single human on this planet.

It's 35m deep - for comparison recreational scuba divers go up to 30m deep and professional scuba divers up to 60m deep.

It will have to be well engineered and difficult to repair compared to a land facility, but nothing compared to like the space station.

Very cool idea, after 25 years there should be significant cost savings overall.

Collective ownership of communism gonna start looking a lot less scary to everyone when they own nothing anyway.

I think he's trying to say, "energy cannot be created or destroyed, therefore all energy is renewable". Implying gas and oil are just as "renewable" as wind and solar.

Conservatives back gas and oil purely for personal financial incentives, and like to project that renewable energy is also only for financial incentives and not the good of the planet.

Which should only work on high school kids. In 9th grade I didn't understand why air conditioners required power instead of generating power. Heat is energy, right? Why don't they just take the energy out of the air and convert it to electrical energy?

I'm very confident Ben knows how the second law of thermodynamics works, and he's taking advantage of a populace that was put through a failed education system.

Maybe you should have thought of that before you became peasants.

CU vs FEC was specifically about campaign financing, but yeah basically ruled that organizations like corporations are protected by 1A, and money counts as free speech.

Which is obviously bullshit on every level, but just one way that a SCOTUS with a few corrupt individuals can destroy democracy for an entire country.

Call me a dirty communist but I think education should be accessible to all regardless of socio-economic status.

A well educated population is better for Democracy, better for the human species and society.

That's not what he said but I sense you're going to have an opinion to share about it anyway.

The real question is has Putin given up on trying to call them Nazis, or are we supposed to believe Ukrainians are super gay Nazi soldiers now.

John Oliver is doing a hell of a lot more to help than internet self-styled "revolutionary leftists" are.

Oh my god watching these campaign think tanks try to replicate the trump nicknaming makes my sides hurt.

Republicans are like high school football players, they peaked in 2016 and can't get past trying to live the glory days again.
