sure they do, why do you think they're buying lithium mines? they love mining resources because it encourages the "infinite growth" feedback loop to keep going

that is correct and that would unfortunately be a problem if we expect everyone to own a boiler instead of building neighborhood thermal battery/central heating systems. a lot of post-soviet countries had perfectly functioning stations for doing exactly that, but they were torn down during neoliberal reforms instead of converting them to modern standards

couldn't be more wrong, also we have this thing called insulation and water tanks. we already use water loop radiators here, there's nothing stopping us from preheating the water to last us through the night. also, wear more layers instead of being a wussy

subsidize energy storage solutions that aren't as economically profitable as fossil fuels. like thermal batteries, pumped hydro, etc.

most people don't need that much energy during the night, so that is a red herring from the energy companies. the reason why we need this much storage in the first place is because of the infinite growth mindset instead of making industrialists pay for their own shit when they're consuming energy in a race to the bottom. if we banned all the slop products from being made, energy demand would go down exponentially.

in a worst case scenario, we could 100% only rely on renewables and deal with the fact that we'll have power outages during sleeping hours. that pill would be much easier to swallow if everyone is sharing the same burden, like during the lockdowns. and for the disabled people that need electricity to stay alive, give them refurbished EV batteries for free, there's already more of them on the market than we could use in a lifetime. same thing for hospitals and essential institutions

if a cis person goes on cross-sex hormones, they will develop gender dysphoria because their sex doesn't match their gender identity anymore. that's where the feel part comes in

that sex is binary or immutable. for anyone that believes this, get on HRT for a year and tell me if you still feel like your sex is identical to what you started out with

wrong, Europe still has executions because there are armed police killing drowning refugees in the Mediterranean or cops shooting Roma people

the staff serving jail time would make no sense as they're not the ones in charge of marketing decisions. the CEO, and the managers? sure
