  • Having lots of money earned does not make a person bad.

    They never said that. So maybe you’re disagreeing with their reasoning because you don’t know what it is.

    They say billionaires are bad because they have a lot of money and don’t use it to help people. This isn’t even talking about billionaire who engage in actually/actively morally wrong deeds to acquire money.

    If you produce a product so excellent that consumers give you 1 billion dollars ($1.000.000.000) in pure profit, there would be no problem if you kept a nest egg to ensure your livelihood and then used the rest to provide aid where it’s needed. You would still be a bad person for sitting on it, instead of spreading it to help people that aren’t well off. A person can live very well on $300K pretty much anywhere in the world: that means $999,700,000 is not materially improving your life and you are hoarding it for no good reason.


  • Why are they booing you, you’re right?

    Turret’s “serious” comment said that you claimed people should know about/have awareness of that Flesch-Kincaid reading level as a determinant of literacy…but you never said that.

    I will admit I had to go back and actually read both comments because I tend to tune out long comments (many long comments are slavering diatribes not fit to store in any memory, long-term nor short). Maybe that’s what’s happened here.






  • I’m ignorant of the mechanism of solar panels and electrical grids…do they just explode if they are set up and not draining power?

    Because why can’t you just cut the inflow of electricity on a signal? I’d appreciate actual answers.

    Edit: In fact, I don’t see why “just don’t send the power if it isn’t needed” doesn’t work for any power generation source. In lieu of answers, I can imagine the issue is with the non-renewable resources. Maybe you want to spin down burning generators, if you don’t need the extra energy. So it’s a planning problem to know when you don’t need energy, so you know when you don’t need to burn resources.

    But you don’t waste wind if you just let the turbines keep spinning while blocking of energy output. Sunlight isn’t burnt up if solar panels keep slurping while the downstream draw is blocked.

    Is this a problem being baked in because it’s assuming “burnable fuel” restrictions?










  • I don’t see why he said “come again?” except to set up the innuendo and ‘punchline’. Didn’t set him up to be hard of hearing. Is the lady character normally someone who demands to be heard or never takes back what she’s said?

    Edit: also, the last time they had pizza was the night he impregnated her? Is that they insinuation? Because that’s a long time to not have pizza, especially if you have kids.
