Charity with fewer mechanisms of control from the donator

Unfortunately I have been proven wrong :/

One counterexample I would like to point out is the Medicaid expansion under Obamacare seems to have made that program another one of the 'third rail' policies alongside Social Security and Medicare

Alley cropping has a lot of advantages and scales well depending on one's goals. If you wanted to have large combines, you can simply make the alleys wider. Its all about tradeoffs. I'll have to look into Kentucky coffeetree, I imagine that their bean pods would make good livestock fodder.

Regarding the alfalfa wheat intercrop, the goal is actually to harvest the wheat for grain, with the alfalfa functioning as a sort of fertilizer crop (that's still harvested for forage after the wheat is harvested). There are a lot of barriers, so it's an active area of research, but it's a really interesting topic.

I think ocean iron fertilization has some promise to it, and it has the benefit of being able to be experimented with at a small scale and subsequently scaled up responsibly to measure effects. Aerosols are kind of a one and done solution, and if for any reason its suspended, their is a boomerang effect that drives warming even higher

Its definitely the plot of termination shock

It's also ridiculous how many products are just trucking water around from one place to another with a little big of active solution mixed in. We need more 'just add water' products available.

Definitely a valid critique of Mondragon in the modern era, its commitment to the 10% ratio has atrophied somewhat. It's still something that ebbs and flows, for example there is a current push to transfer 35,000 non-member workers in their retail coop into full members (from a total of 50,000 workers). From numbers I've seen, 85% of employees are still members, which is pretty good.

Yeah, I think its useful to continue trialing out the technology and see if it can hold up to snuff. But at the same time banking on this idea as our only approach to decarbonizing protein (which is what the beef industry would prefer) is short sighted, imo

Are there any mechanisms where landlords can be driven to adopt the alternatives that homeowners are utilizing?

Fusion power doesn't utilize uranium or plutonium, it uses hydrogen. Any radioactive outputs have short half-lives, making storage less of a concern.

It is a good sign that in some countries where leasing is still open, oil companies are buying a lot fewer permits
