    I’ve been seriously thinking a lot of countries need an official jester. An appointed official who gets to hang with the president/premier/prime minister and has full absolute security clearance. Not to disclose anything, but to know all of it, and is allowed speak publicly on any public forum or topic. Always require them to be appointed by the opposition.

    Knowing from whence you came gives a psychological grounding, and a basis of confidence in one self. It’s been shown to predict success in life.

    Where you’re born, and parental wealth may be much larger factors, they’re not the end of the list. Learning about your family history is one of the things you can control yourself.

    Not too worried about how permanent the installation is. I mean how often do you move the fridge around your kitchen? Besides, these days a lot of them have a water faucet installed for the ice maker anyway. As for efficiency, the AC has to fight the same gradient already, but with the heat being dumped inside it has to overcome it twice.

    It would add complexity and points of breakage, so it would need to be a robust enough system to make it worth it, which fights against it adding enough efficiency to be worth it.






  • You’re misunderstanding my statement, there is no need for increased production, because it already existed. There is no need for an expanded distribution system, it already existed. There is no need for more of anything, because it was already sitting there, just going to somewhere else. The only changes needed were which wagon, or which ship, the only consequences were who made how much profit, and who got credit for it.



  • The fastest you’d need to move is by horse or ship. Food preservation has been a thing since the discovery of salt. And we didn’t need artificial fertilizer centuries ago, because we didn’t need to support this many people on limited land, that’s a very recent problem. Also cities grew near water for a reason, that’s how they got their food. Ships moving food supplies.
