Beautifully stated. I teared up. This and watching us settle on the moon and Mars would be incredible. And achieving more breakthroughs in AI and medicine and everything else. I am an optimist and really excited by everything on the horizon.
USA, Europe, China, India, Australia, Brazil, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Japan, and South Korea should just raise $1 trillion towards the sharing of nuclear reactor tech & know-how and renewables tech. Each government should raise another $1 trillion in debt to fund labor that will R&D, build and install more nuclear and more renewables 24/7 so that within 10 years from now we're carbon neutral. We have the technology to deploy and the labor sources available worldwide to create new productive jobs doing this right now, so what exactly is in the way?
Technology (Generation III+) is already shared with France, India, Finland, UK, Japan, China. Generation III+ are likely the most efficient/safe nuclear reactors at the moment. Ideally we would start to build hundred of them, so we could electrify our societies (including heat, transport, industry), and so we could transition faster to low carbon emissions world.
The main international cooperation seems to be for the nuclear fusion with ITER. "ITER has already been described as the most expensive science experiment of all time,[24] the most complicated engineering project in human history,[25] and one of the most ambitious human collaborations since the development of the International Space Station (€100 billion or $150 billion budget) and the Large Hadron Collider (€7.5 billion budget)".
Especially newer shareholders who just started their wealth building journey - they want more innovation and more products so the share price and dividends can increase as the company scales more.
If that was what it is going to do, wouldn’t we know that by now? Hasn’t it been the most funded r&d ever for multiple years now due to the entire planet combining its strength to understand the virus?
After all your time contracting, how easily can you find a new contract in terms of weeks/months spent searching for one? The reason I ask is because I'm getting tired of bureaucracy too and have been considering taking a break and getting into contracting as a software engineer for a while to see how that goes...How reliable is the pipeline of work in the software dev contracting world if you want to maintain access to a steady supply of income/benefits?
In the UK at least I can correct your timeframe to days and weeks, not weeks and months.
The quickest I have found a contract position from a cold start is 45 minutes.
Market's teeming and has been for years, aside from the obvious Covid period, there hasn't been any meaningful market collapse for a long time.
Saying that, this time of year is generally poor as companies eye Xmas and start shutting up shop. You'd do well late January onwards and especially after the start of the next budgetary cycle, typically end of March.
