    My dad worked with a guy who is designing a system like this and it makes all the sense.

    1. you shade the parking spaces

    2. you absorb less heat into the ground than tarmac

    3. free energy

    4. direct panel-to-car charging for EVs

    Yeah but they have thousands of tons of steel going overhead and rocks and dust all around. I don’t really see the advantage compared to a solar farm or a roof where they’re easier to set up and maintain

    Self landing rockets is a great thing to cheer about!

    But also people cheered for a guy eating cheese balls so you may have a point.

    Many are suffering, and it’s not in a good state right now. But it also means being strategic about it. The issue with the right and far right is that many people who hold those beliefs have a common goal and are unified in it (even if it’s because their candidates are somewhat less popular as therefore there is only one).

    There was a candidate in 2016 that was very liberal and had good intentions, but many saw him as too liberal. Enough voted for him that it split the democratic votes between two candidates and Trump won, so yes unfortunately we do have to think about opposing the other side instead of just voting for who we like best as individuals. Did I mention the two party system sucks?
