You want us to switch to sky energy, we need a way to make the output portable so someone can make money on it. I really hate capitalism and hope this is the fall at a global level. Though if anyone was watching, China has been making the right moves towards solar and transport. If they stop oppressing their people i’ll move all my soon to be worthless USD to YUAN. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 2 points 8 months ago (2 children) I laughed. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Greyghoster@aussie.zone 2 points 6 months ago (1 child) I thought hmmmm, this may be happening. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 2 points 6 months ago I laughed at that because the original had the whole thing about China and ended with "...move all my soon to be worthless USD to YEN."
