It's got 8,000 fewer seats than the current stadium and the focus will be on luxury suites. The consensus is that the new stadiums will stop focusing entirely on normal seats for normal people and entirely on luxury experiences for the rich and that this will be the standard going forward. Love my bifurcating economy.

I honestly don't know why everyone hates 5 over 1s. They are the cheapest thing that can be built, these are the urban equivalent of double wide trailers. It's like complaining about the Mitsubishi Mirage being a lovely car, it's the cheapest thing sold, what the gently caress do you want? The US can't afford anything better. Look at what 100+ year old workforce housing that was cheap and lovely when it was new rents for now in Boston.

mycomancy posted:Yes, I think that's what I was trying to articulate. Like, coal makes a loving mess, is horrible PR, and isn't even that good of a fuel, so why not jump on nuclear? The answer is you can't get millions of Appalachians to enrich uranium for a gigajoule per penny or whatever, more high tech energy industries require less exploitable labor at this current time. So get the cheap poo poo using the most exploitable labor you can find. I get it now, thank you. "Fossil Capital" talks about how one of the big advantages to fossil fuels, over renewables (or nuclear) is that the fuel can be stored and carted around for profitability's sake. If you dig up uranium out of the ground, you get to ship it to a nuclear power plant, yes, but a plant doesn't need so much uranium that it can be the basis for lots of market activity, and the number of nuclear power plants is so low (even if everyone went nuclear) that you can't use the mass movement of fissionable material for economic/political leverage. There's also a lot of sunk cost in fossil fuel infrastructure by now: once you've spent however many billions in setting up a mine to extract coal, the processing of the coal into a usable form, the transportation to bring it from the mine to the power plant, and the power plant, you're on the hook to so many other people, and for so much money, that one can no longer countenance the possibility of moving away from this paradigm. Too big to fail.

Antonymous posted:i believe without dishwashers and washing machines and instant cake mix and vacuum cleaners and universal public education you wouldn't have feminism. water mills were a competitive power source to coal at the time of the Industrial Revolution, but coal was selected because you couldn't concentrate labor and productivity when you were tied to the land, compared to being tied to wherever you placed the coal driven engine, and distributing the flow of water power across multiple capitalists operating in the same region would require collective action that would prevent the concentration of wealth
