It boils down to companies only trading on their value and not paying a dividend. Without a dividend, a company has to grow to provide value to its shareholders - with a dividend a shareholder would profit simply from the company making money.

World News@lemmy.world•‘It’s pillage’: thirsty Uruguayans decry Google’s plan to exploit water supplyEnglish
25·2 years agoTheres usually a closed loop to get water in and out of a building for cooling, but then there’s the actual chiller that uses evaporative cooling (which is very thermally efficient but “consumes” water to function., and if this water isn’t clean it leaves behind all the gunk that was in it. Seawater can’t be used in this way, but you can tuna. Loop to dump the heat into the ocean.
There are other methods too but all of them are going to have a measurable environmental impact. Google just needs to not exploit low power and land costs, and a lack of environmental review and standards, to save a buck on hosting costs.
Grave of the fireflies.
Definitely watch it.
Definitely don’t rewatch it. Once is enough for a lifetime.

3·2 years agoNo? Nobody’s said you can’t be a stay at home wife/mother/scrapbooking expert. It might be difficult to live on a single income, so there are practical concerns, but that’s the type of decision you make with your partner.

91·2 years agoThe difference arises when they try to tell other people this is their best choice and not doing it their way is “bad”
I like the feeling of progress as I’m still in the “noticeable improvement” phase of workouts, but while I’m actually on the bike I just kinda feel bored
I can push through it but it’s a means to an end, and I feel better after, not during.

For starters, wage theft is the largest dollar amount of theft in the US and that would improve some of the lowest paid workers lives if resolved.
I don’t know about all, but it would certainly alleviate the financial stress of some.
