  • See that euro symbol in front of your currency those of us with dollars do not have good public transportation, we have to pay extreme amounts for health care and health insurance, we dont have public college for free or low cost, our housing is predatory, car centric infrastructure design necessitates car ownership with another high cost insurance, the car market has become predatory and ridiculously priced to the point its even inflated the used car market to match the prices of what new cars should be. There are numerous reasons the US salaries look better on paper than they do in reality. Should $160k a year be a great salary that leaves you with surplus, it really should and i wish that were the case. Even if you were to be able to secure a salary like that in a low cost of living area in the US it would go a decent distance but the problem being the places where that is the case usually have bad health care, shitty public schooling, lack of access to quality food, etc. which means most of those areas arent ideal for those with families unless they want to pay exorbitant amounts for private school, transportation costs to get to a location with quality health care access in the event they need it etc. Its not as straightforward as you think. We need major help across the pond here, and most people have become so brainwashed and dumbed down from our shitty education systems that they are willingly voting against their own interests because they believe the propaganda that one day they might be a billionaire.




  • Would it dilate for either observer, though? If the purpose of it is to just fold space time in essence shrinking the distance traveled I dont think we would see any significant time dilation occur for either point of reference as in that hypothetical scenario you would be using the fold in space time produced by such a drive to make two points in space closer together so in theory you never travel significantly close to the speed of light and time should flow pretty much “normally” for both points of reference. What I do wonder is would anything that gets touched by the horizon of that bubble/wave be effected, and such a drive would have to cause massive gravitational waves like a boat that moves through the ocean, what would be the effects from such a drive functioning in that manor be to anything near it or that it touches. And I’ll state I’m in no means a physicist by any means so I could be completely of the mark here any many ways lol


  • I mean it depends on how you reach the speed of light. Straight up propulsion correct but then you cant get the energy required for that, if we can somehow figure out a way to bend space to create a “warp” bubble the internal zone should act as we expect, but the energy requirements there are still fucking enormous and im not sure that would be feasible without us inadvertently creating a singularity that we could never escape from so there are just problems inherently there for either method lol


  • Eh effecting millionaires has less effect realistically, but if this could hit the billionaires by having a large settlement that cuts into revenue and effects the stock price you may see a change in tune regarding this type of behavior. Either way I agree this one could actually do something and considering the short term thinking of this administration I could see dump pushing this to Rule against tesla to spite elmo and then consequently giving us a default rulling for other vehicles. What’s the saying a broken clock can still be right twice a day, gotta take the small wins where we can right now.
