  • We totally will be poorer because of climate.

    Extreme weather phenomenons like draughts, floods, extreme rain, etc will become more numerous, destroying crops and property, plus new plagues are gonna spread, stuff like that. That’s gonna cost. Food prices will continue to rise, insurance will get more and more expensive, building materials more demanded. That’s gonna make people poorer because their money will buy them less. And it’s because of climate change.

    Yes, of course,corporate greed and capitalism.make things even worse, but the global temperature and resulting consequences are huge factor (and in themselves consequences of corporate greed and capitalism).











  • I’m curious, what language would you consider being easy to learn?

    English has roots in celtic, germanic and romanic languages and thereby offers some familiarities to basically every western european language.

    I can see that for native speakers of a slavic or finno-ugric language other languages of their families might be easier to learn though.

    However, it’s not that you can dictate a language. Switching takes time. So maybe it would be smarter to pick a widespread slavic language and teach it alongside English from early on in schools. Takes as long as spreading a constructed language but doesn’t neee the additional effort of, you know, construction a language for 27+ countries and retains diversity and inclusion.
