It will also use much more energy and water, because they're built to wash extremely quickly, efficiency be damned.

Buy Electrolux or V-Zug.

We will need a lot less oil in the future. Just one example: in my country the typical way to heat a house in winter was oil. We are now transitioning to heat pumps as fast as we possibly can. Another big consumer of oil are vehicles, which are also transitioning to electric. We will still import oil, of course, but much less. It's not unreasonable to cut out one or two supplier countries if the demand halves.

The US defense spending is different to ours in that it is economically useful. In short, it enforces the petrodollar, thus forcing everyone to buy dollars, thus everyone pays for their inflation.

As a Swiss let me just clarify this: only old stupid nationalist idiots delude themselves to believe this. In reality we are completely dependent on our neighbours and the EU.

It's usually marked in both inches and centimetres, but most people are more familiar with the inch-based size. I don't know why. Perhaps it's because the USA is/was so dominant in the computer and mobile phone industry. It's the same with car tyres, for some reason their size is given in inches as well.
