    Pumped hydro isn’t the same as a hydroelectric dam. Because both reservoirs are engineered and you don’t have the concrete wall as the single point of failure, you don’t have the same risks involved. Pump Hydro can be whatever size you want and spread out to distribute the grid load.

    Also, are dam failures worse then Climate Change or are they just more dramatic?















  • It wasn’t just banks.

    And black families were held back on the starting line on purpose.

    It wasn’t just Black families either.

    You also didn’t answer my question about how you handle families who came to America after slavery. You’ve made your answer simple by ignoring a lot of the issues I brought up. From a practical angle, it’s far easier to implement DEI. It also wouldn’t have to be implemented long term. It would only really be necessary for those with an unfair education. If you fix the public school system, you could retire DEI once those school kids enter the workforce.


  • You are proposing a solution that has no real way to be implemented. How would you distribute the reparations? Would just having one ancestor who was a slave be enough? What if you also have an ancestor who was a wealthy merchant? What if your family immigrated after slaver, but before Jim Crow? Does having multiple ancestors stack? What if the company that took advantage of your ancestors doesn’t exist anymore? There is no perfect system, but I think you’re underestimating how many problems your system has.
