i didnt have any expectations before hahah, but this turns out to be an option that wasnt anyhwere near possible so since i already have nothing and i'm going nowhere its safe to say this is the only option that might change that ... the spike in SBD if you look at the year chart is cleary a classic hype and dump there, unless the powers that be on mount olympusTEEM here think its a good idea to force a $1-peg while the supply-demand pushes it another way ... forced reactions are never good they tend to follow up with the universes urge for balance, revolution slides away back into dictatorship most of the time too

I dont know about the weather manipulation or if anyone has the power to, they probably could if they would, a lot of stuff would be possible by now

i'm not sure they could manage a space elevator which would solve the problem of getting payloads out of orbit ... in some combined way with solar power and maglev tubes it might work but i'm not an engineer .. definitely not a space-engineer haha. But there's many things they COULD,

a hangar could be built extra atmosphere, a veritable hangar and small vessel factory, a supply line could be set up from here to the moon and back , mars probably since they can get there, resources out there are untapped and the more you can manage to get back the further you can expand

all NOT at the cost of the planet.

those things are all 99.9% technically possible, the only thing in the way is ofcourse, as alway

politics

i mean you can't have the russians beat you to the moon so co-operation is out of the question, you cant trust the chinese to respect your space-patent so co-operation is out of the question and in the end we get stuck down here, in the most biblical sense, never to see the heavens again, because recources down here are NOT in infinite supply. I like to say "you can't launch a rocket on a woodstove" but seeing as most rare minerals are used to produce iThings looking cool swiping seems to be more important than the ticking clock.

If they dont manipulate the weather on purpose they surely did by negligence. Part of the shift and warming can be claimed by natural processes and cycles, but there has never been an artificial emission and spill of non-native(to nature) chemicals (gasses in the air, condensing to the soil, the whole ecosystem is permeated with plastic particles)

there's no telling what the efffect will be because there is no precedent

the water problem and planet sustainability is on the table in science-land for over 20 years now

no one listens, its not their problem right, if anything they might do , since its what they always do, if water WERE to run out soon, they would make sure they have enough for a liftetime or two and literally

leave us all hanging out to dry :)

sad but true indeed
