I was wrong got my geography mixed up. However, technically in this timeline, I'm pretty sure that there aren't countries anymore. It's been even longer since I read the book but if I remember correctly, after a large number of wars we end up with basically the federal planetary government.

Memories are fickle bitch sometimes.

Well apparently I'm worse at geography than I thought I was rip. I could have sworn that Cordoba was the capital, but I mean I haven't studied South American geography in like 15 years

Argentina is not a part of Brazil....

I wonder if the author just can't do math or they're actually this disingenuous

20% efficiency gains are not the same thing as no difference. If you think a 20% change is not noticeable, I would invite you to walk into a room that's 100% nitrogen.

To further extrapolate out though, that means that if the electric cars on average, are 20% more efficient that you can run five ice cars or six electric cars for the same cost of carbon.

In other words, for the same amount of global warming problems, we can run 5 billion ice cars or 6 billion electric vehicles. Neither option is great for the planet, but one option enables a billion more people to have a car while impacting all of us the same amount.

And since I don't think we're figuring out transporters anytime soon and our entire society is built upon cars...

This also discounts that if all of these electric cars were powered with more sustainable technologies like renewables and nuclear instead of fossil fuel peaker plants, they would be even more efficient somewhere between 30 and 40%. More than an ice car.

Have you considered you may be in an echo chamber? Most Americans can barely operate on a 6th grade reading comprehension level. Source years of customer facing work as an American

Personally I just use Pandora and YouTube ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Look up bad ass wolf shirt most of their stuff is high hats cymbols and synths.

They might be obsessed with them but they make really shitty ones that are factually inaccurate most of the time.

But just because somebody enjoys history is not a warning sign or red flag. You have to study history to learn political trends and how the world operates.

Everybody would die. Inertia would continue moving all the buildings, trees, animals and people at several thousand miles an hour even though the Earth is no longer rotating.
