Hopefully not. They already have the Bolt EV and the Volt hybrid, which are some of the smallest and most affordable EVs currently on the market.

I hope they realize now we really should start.

Because there's nothing automatic about our law passing process. How many years is the right amount to strike an old law from the books? You wouldn't want something like the abolishment of slavery to ever become automatically unenforceable. So now you need someone to decide on a case by case basis which laws should still be on the books... well, that's what the Supreme Court is for. They don't reconsider every law, though. It seems to be at their discretion.

I doubt any place will hire you for only one day a week. That will not be helpful for them.

So if I walked into a restaurant that specialized in a certain cuisine (choosing the right one out of hundreds is a skill, right?) and wrote down a list of ingredients, and the restaurant made me a meal with those ingredients according to however the restaurant functions (nobody can see into the kitchen, after all), does this make me a chef?

It's also pretty useless without a comparison to how much we don't import. Take dairy for example: I'm sure we produce an order of magnitude more dairy than the amount we're importing.

Why is New York not even on the map?

Teamlabs borderless?

Sometimes it's fun to admit you do the thing and watch them awkwardly walk back everything they just said.

Is it on the ceiling? Maybe attached to a smoke detector? Can't really tell anything from the photo.

What about the overlap? Wouldn't most people who inherit that kind of money be... founding companies, becoming executives of said companies, making political connections to benefit their business, and investing? I don't see how you can separate most of these.

I'm the same. I like reading about different worlds, but magic systems are so boring. I'm currently writing a book like what you describe - set on another planet but there's no magic, and everyone is human. We should really start a new genre, because post-apocolyptic scifi doesn't quite convey what I'm trying to do. But to call it fantasy would be way off. Problem is, most people assume other world = fantasy.
