      > The Bureau of Land Management is giving geothermal energy exploration a categorical exclusion from environmental review under NEPA.

      Good. Geothermal is baseload, non-variable renewable power. This is required to get away from depleting fossil fuels while retaining anything close to our current standard of living.

      @kaia i'm not so sure about that, rent is very hard to think about just because the US is so huge and diverse, and groceries can be very cheap (costco, walmart) (also, at least according to this, it's not that different from 'rich europe' https://commodity.com/blog/food-prices/).

      I think that the US and americans in general are meaningfully richer than EU-europeans, but it's hard to bake it all into one number that can be compared. For example, average food expenses are higher in france than in germany, but not necessarily because of higher prices for basic goods, but because the french care more about good food than germans.

      Housing and food is reasonable (日本 is the home of the NEET for a reason) and if you are a full time wagie, you do receive a decent wage despite all the unpaid overtime.

      They also have a large amount of airports, which I guess would have some level of competition between themselves (considering that you can just hop on a train and go to a different one with a better price easily).
