And their efficiency plummets starting at 40F and below.

No you don't. You don't normally include opportunity cost on your balance sheet.

> That’s exactly what they said they have done.

But they're trying to frame it as if they cared more about employees than profits.

This seems interesting but not especially impactful.

For me, the question here is: can we get our energy to cost 90% less than it did?

Don't get me wrong, I recognise that this is still a huge win (especially environmentally) and that it can have huge runway effects (eg. much more effective decentralization etc.) but it's quite interesting on how we can get these billions of people out of poverty first (or during).

It isn't now is it? I work at small UK Ltd company. I know roughly who our owners are. But it isn't public information beyond what we choose to publish.

Edit: I checked companies house. No information on ownership at all. Only 2 directors are named. One is the CEO, the other is our accounting firm (the firm, not an individual there).

Either people are very misinformed, or "it's public" means "it's only public if you want to make it public"...

Why are political parties necessary? Instead of chosing representatives in bulk we should decide democratically about each of these particular questions. Then, a professional executive power (elected independently, or simply hired) would be legally bound to implement these decisions.

If they ran a campaign of donating to environmental protection charities, carbon capture, or some other means of protecting the planet, with a value equal to that of the money of the revenue of their diesel cheating vehicles sales, I would say they have changed.

Until then, I still think they are doing what they do for the sake of profit.

Maybe more like having a stockpile of essential parts may be beneficial if something like this or Corona happens.

Sure, but you could always do that and be delivery-only without paying anyone. I think the service you're getting here is primarily the exposure of being on a popular platform.

That and them handling the order process.

I was just replying to the last line of the comment:

But combining Saint Augustine and Stonehenge—that is a symptom of Ur-Fascism.

That, to me, is just an unacceptable statement that is clearly wrong. Plenty of modern pagans, for example, draw some ideas from Christian writers like Augustine and combine them with symbols like Stonehenge. That certainly doesn’t make them fascists.
