Tässä ilmeisesti esitetään talouskasvun asettamista hyvinvoinnin edelle. Vaikka nämä kaksi mielletään kulkevan käsi kädessä, ei se läheskään aina niin mene. Onko amerikan meininki oikeasti millään lailla toivottavaa meille tänne? Onhan siellä kaiken maailman pöhinää (melkein naurahdin kun artikkelissa mainittiin rahoitusteknologia), mutta tämä pöhinä mitä ilmesimmin ei auta tavallisen tallaajan toimeentuloa. Normaalien ihmisten palkat on kuraa, asuntojen hinnat ja vuokrat on todella monen saavuttamattomissa poliittisen ja rikkaan eliitin vehkeillessä kulisseissa valta-asemiansa pönkittääkseen.

Mutta toki jos kysytään taloustieteilijöiltä, The Financial Timesiltä tai IfW:ltä, niin vastaus on selvä että kaikkipyhä talouskasvu jyrää kaiken muun edelle...

Usually when there's a headline, yes. But 545 million miles is almost six times the distance from the Earth to the Sun. That is a very large distance even in this context.

Beautiful! Cirrus spissatus always makes for some great sunsets and sunrises. Here you also have some Cirrus fibratus.

I agree. You can see the initial sketch overlayed there, so definitely a wip with multiple layers.

Had to double check that their distribution really is that wide. (A common bird up here in Finland during our summers)

Plenty of people drive short distances that could already be travelled by bike or walked. That doesn't require any new solutions. Reminding those people of how wasteful it is to commute by car is a good way to approach that problem imo.

The fact remains that cars are faster than bikes. Driving a car usually means going faster and hence wasting more energy. Sure, plenty of people deal with distances that necessitate such speeds to be practical in daily life, but that's a different problem to be solved.

It is interesting. For myself I can say that the familiar UI prompted me to take the screenshot because everyone knows that repetition equals funny.

If life could do the things you think it might, our own galaxy would already look a lot different compared to what we're seeing.

And there never will be. Then again, we won't stay around long enough to have to worry about it.
