Therefore, you just invite confusing answers and useless discussions in your reply.
From the outside, it looks like the motivation of these voters was mainly to cause pain to perceived enemies. From my point of view, this is no longer just the effects of the two Santas strategy, this feels like it goes way beyond that.
Ninja-edit: Is it ok to discuss under deleted comments? If not just delete this.
Would you mind sharing a source for that? I can't think of a mechanism that would make sure that the poor get richer.
Intuitively I would expect a continuation or acceleration of the current trend, i.e. concentration of wealth at the very top (billionaires).
Just an idea if you want some kind of animal hobby :)
HN has been overrun with puns and attempts at humour in the past few years, while substantive comments have declined imho. But that's just the way it is.
The whole text was a smorgasbord of the worst, most boring AI clichés possible. It was hard to finish for me, even though it is not that long, just because it was so badly written.
The only reason why I think it was partly written by a person who is just way too used to AI (as opposed to a simple prompt) is that the gaps in its logic feel more human than artificial.
I just hope that those communities find back to forums again after Reddit dies.
Doesn't matter, at least in Germany. Maybe it's different in other countries, though this would surprise me. Here, nobody reads the party platforms, as they do not correlate with the actions of our political parties.
If you vote according to party platform, then you should probably vote for the conservatives or the reds, as they pretend to be good for the economy and the workers.
I think it's better to judge a party by their actions, instead.
"It's bad enough that nuclear proponents ignore the massive cost of nuclear compared to renewables once you factor in building costs, insurance and storage imho. But then to pretend like the conservatives didn't have a choice but to bungle the nuclear exit really is too much.
The CDU never listened to the greens when it came to not killing the solar industry and serving it to China on a golden platter. Or not killing our rail infrastructure by continually delaying maintenance so that we would have to do much more costly repairs later.
But in this instance, they do, and do it in a way that is a gift to the energy companies, and instead of noticing the obvious corruption at play, people still blame the greens."
Sorry if the tone is a bit harsh, but I'm really annoyed at the amount of dishonesty surrounding nuclear energy.
By painting the opposition to nuclear energy as emotionally driven, they can assure themselves that their position is rational, and this allows them to subconsciously ignore the evidence against it.

The only cheap nuclear energy is from plants that have already been built, because it won't help if we tear them down. But as soon as you factor in the costs of building, insurance and storage of materials, it's always more expensive than renewables.
And while the cost of renewables is still trending downwards, the cost of new reactors is rising, even in China.
The original is available on Firefox. The dev has even replied on the current top comment, if you want to check it out.
Of course, if the government were to correct the mistakes of the past, it would get worse for another decade. The necessary repairs would cause a lot more delays, and voters would then say "Were giving them so much extra money, and it gets worse? Unacceptable!". So I fear we'll continue to have these problems forever.
We really should have an ocho channel for sports like this (of course /r/theocho exists, but it's not the same).
The sad thing is, you might be right. With the rise of far right populists everywhere, it is entirely possible that it will be written in the history books just as you said it. It won't matter that it is a lie, as nuclear was destroyed by the conservatives (just like our solar industry, incidentally), not the green party.
Facts don't matter when it comes to nuclear energy, otherwise nobody would pretend that it's "the cheapest form of energy" and the like me
It's incredible how this stuff even made its way into the Obama administration.

Niche hobbyist forums are still safe, for now. There's just not enough commercial interest in petroleum lantern restoration to make it worth anyone's time to poison this particular well.
Even some larger niche hobbies like the saltwater aquarium community seemspretty safe for now (though it also helps that many forums have members who visit each other to trade corals and admire each others tanks).
A bit too annoying to build with wood, but if you're into 3D printing and whimsy, this page is a goldmine.
