  • That example is old, overused, and rarely true. For example: How many old filament lightbulbs do you see on the market today?

    Many cures have made a lot of money in medicine. Iron lungs used to be expensive to maintain, but vaccines made them unnecessary.

    There is plenty of fast and lasting profit in actually curing diseases. The demand for cures is enormous, so successful cures become some of the most valuable medical products ever created.

    Examples from medical history where cures were profitable: 1) polio vaccine, 2) hepatitis c antiviral, 3) small pox vaccine, 4) antibiotics, and 5) H. pylori cure for stomach ulcers.





  • You opened by insulting me instead of addressing my point, which says more about your argument than mine.

    Claiming solar is automatically cheaper ignores system level costs. Wind and solar need storage, backup, and major grid upgrades, and those costs are still high. That is why renewables depend on large subsidies and mandates, just as fossil fuels have historically.

    If solar were truly cheaper in a complete sense, companies would switch on their own because profit is a powerful incentive. The fact that adoption still relies on policy pressure shows the picture is more complicated than the simple claim that fossil fuels only survive through inertia.

    Sigh, all I see is panacea thinking…I want dank memes.

    But here’s some reality for you that’ll destroy my karma.

    The market naturally drives energy toward the lowest price because buyers choose the cheapest reliable option and producers must compete. Inefficient sources fade while the most cost effective ones grow. This happens automatically through supply and demand.

    Many green technologies, depend on heavy subsidies and huge upfront costs. They promise clean and limitless power, but the real costs of materials, storage, and maintenance make them far more expensive than they seem. This makes them feel less like practical solutions and more like a comforting promise being sold as a cure for everything.

    If your energy company could create very cheap energy it would.





  • Is it tho? Only one character is developed… and her story is to accept her demon side, and then ban all demons?

    Also the first enemies in the movie say they are here to attack the fans, then the next demons do the same thing.

    Their bodies are proportioned like barbie, their ankles would break under them if they were made in real life proportions.

    Its got one arguably catchy song…about nothing.

    This feels like the backstreet boys, who pushed one 1-2 songs hard for years. They danced, they marketed, they were used by the industry and spit out.

    I mean kpop demon hunter were on snl and Macy’s day parade. Next is Disney, new years eve in that stupid time square (check out Dubai nye online, way better), and grocery store play lists.
