GASOLINE contain hydrocarbons. These are able to work as a sweller. The fuel compounds petrate the molecules of the plastic and expand them. In some cases it can dissolve them. Alcohol would be the better choice. Because it solouble in water. Or any commonhoushold cleaner based on water.

I would guess that any hard right ( or hard left ) Government that has aspirations of dictatorship ( Poland maybe ? ) would be trying to force established social media out, so that a Government run/controlled media can more easily disseminate Government propaganda. Makes it much easier to control the people.

I think JC is suggesting that the threshold is different for different States. While $15/hr might not be a job killer in States like Washington or California, it definitely might be in the States which have State min wages set below the Federally mandated minimum of $7.25/hr. He even posted a nice overview of State min wages. to emphasize the point. ( thanks BTW )

No. We agree some employers will suffer. The data suggests, however, there will be a net gain in jobs due to the change to $15/hr. It’s unclear to me what point you’re trying to make. It’s been acknowledged already that there’s some threshold at which continued increases in the wage floor will do more harm than good to overall employment. You’ve been asked where that threshold is. That question has repeatedly gone unanswered. You seem to think $15 is at or near that point, but have been decidedly evasive and cagey in answering it head on, so it’s entirely possible I’m misunderstanding you. I’m trying to understand you better and need your partnership to do so. Will you please clarify in one or two sentences where your concern is specifically, around what hourly wage is too high (and move away from the vague claims about which we all already agree that there’s “some threshold” above which wage increases result in unacceptable job loss)? Fair enough. That’s not where the discussion has been for most of the thread, though. I haven’t been putting links and quotes into my posts merely as decoration, you know. Perhaps consider reviewing them and their citations.

Wel....i actually got what I needed from my ‘ plumbers forum’ really thought that this forum would be the place to get my answer, but unfortunately was not the case..... So here is the graph I needed........and FYI it’s NOT meaningless 🤯

8. remote work via Internet. e.g. install high-speed Internet in Africa and somebody will wear VR helmet and will be able to work in industry in Europe, America or Asia remotely controlling robot doing some easy repeatable tasks in factories. Money is immediately sent after work without paperwork. e.g. you worked 5 hour, with wage 20 euros/h, the account receives 100 euros. Person disconnects, and the next person in queue replaces him or her and takes control over robot. Factory can work 24h/d. People from poor countries won't have to abandon their families migrating to Northern countries EU/US to search for better life. 9. stop this silly unwise anti-immigration rethoric. Raise of temperature due to man-made climate change will mean more lost crops and more hungry people in the Southern parts of the planet and it will force people to migration to the Northern countries to survive. So, by fighting climate change, you are also solving the migration crisis. And vice versa. By supporting oil and gas industry, you are also accelerating the migration crisis.

1. solar panels on the roof of every building. 2. more electric devices. 3. increase efficiency. 4. give up on oil and gas industry where it can be avoided. air will be cleaner. less smog and dust will increase efficiency of solar panels in the cities. people will be also healthier. Smog contains carcinogenic not fully burned chemical compounds. 5. mass production of ethanol from co2 and h2o from air. 6. free of charge mass transportation in the cities to promote it over individual car driving. e.g. one bus can have as many people as 50-100 cars. It is optimization of energy usage. 7. more virtual work from home office where applicable. it will limit the number of people having to drive to work and back through the city, and also will save their time of life. 1-2h per day is 4-8% of the entire lifetime wasted which could be used more efficiently..

Increase investment in battery tech 10,000x and carbon scrubbing options by similar magnitude. Subsidize green energy and have an escalating tax penalty year over year for fossil fuel usage. Want to use fossil fuels? Super, but you’re going to go bankrupt if you keep doing so. There’s need to be a focus on developing nations and helping them catch up, and we need more emphasis on staple crops that are starting to fail due to drought. Desalination tech would help, as well.
