> Decades of constant failure from supposedly elite people in every possible field have lead to a reaction where people just don’t trust them no matter what they claim.
That’s a big claim to make without offering any examples.
Everyone fails constantly, so it makes sense that "elite people" (whatever those are) do too. Why would you have to give examples for something that is a fact of life? It is like breathing. Everyone does it, you do not need examples for it.
An ex-gf of mine gently flicked my gonads once without warning, that was no picnic either. Luckily, just like an IUD, it isn't mandatory. Horses for courses.
I guess the argument would be that it has a greater impact on the profitability of intermittent energy sources as it can stabilize the grid by soaking up cheap off-peak power. Not sure if I buy it either.
> but not oppose enough to use force? I think that's just as useless as people saying they're sending "thoughts and prayers".
All the weapons, sanctions and money are good as "thoughts and prayers"? Isn't the Ukraine military running primarily on donated Javelin and stringer missiles atm?
They don't have to, but they can if they want to.
