Rusts big advantage is that its memory safe
Most languages are memory safe. It’s only really C, C++ and zig that are not (at least for more mainstream languages). Rust is special as it is memory safe without a garbage collector. Which is big for domains where the overhead of a GC is unacceptable.
Nothing to do with the electrical grid. It is just that the positive lead of the output of the power supply is whatever voltage you select above the negative lead on the output side of the power supply. Those are the two relative points in this situation. You can call the negative lead ground if you want. Wiring diagrams for the device you connect it to will likely call it ground. It is not the same thing as the grounding wire in a plug socket.
Note that the grounding wires in a home have nothing to do with any live circuit in your house. They are to make faults in the system safer by giving a path for electrons to flow if a conductive casing ever gets into contact with a live wire. In normal operation nothing should be flowing through it at all. With doubly insulated devices (like that power supply) the grounding wire in the plug socket is probably not connected to anything at all in the device. The plug likely does not even have a grounding wire in it.
I amusingly imagine a force “sucking” the current backwards. 🤭
If you think of a positive voltage as pushing then it is not anymore inaccurate to think of a negative voltage as pulling. At least if you think in terms of DC, which is what power supplies will typically give you.
Voltage is all relative. The sign just shows the direction of flow. If you plug a volt meter in backwards it will show a negative voltage. That means the current will flow from the negative to the positive terminals.
If you have three terminals, let’s say A, B, and C. If you measure 12V between A and B. Then 24V between A and C. Then you will also be able to measure 12V between B and C. Or -12v between B and A. Or -24 between C and A. The direction matters.
You could label any of these as ground it makes no real difference to the system. Only how you talk about it. Without a ground label then you would not say C is at 24V as it has nothing to compare to. If you pick A as ground then it is said to be 24V, but if you pick B as ground then it is said to be 12V. If you pick C as ground then it is 0V. So when we say a point is at a voltage then that is implied that it is that voltage relative some other point we decided was ground.
Things get a lot more complicated with AC as electrons move back and forth in the wire they don’t have the same direction as they do in DC.
Death is not the only driver. Reproduction is by far more important. Death only affects evolution because it prevents reproduction. With modern medicine then sexual selection becomes a bigger driver.
And even then evolution will always happen as mutations will always happen. Even if it is mostly just random drift in features.
We see many aspects of this over and over. Birds on island tend to lose their ability to fly. Larger animals on islands tend to shrink over time. Even isolated humans in extreme places (like high up on a mountain or that do a lot of deep sea diving) show adaptations to their environment. Once isolated even small pressures on your ability to reproduce will affect the population over time. It just might take a lot longer.
Brakes and steering do not need to be.

The US government does not like welfare programs because it gives money to the poor. They would rather give tax reliefs to the rich instead.
There is loads of evidence that welfare programs can save more money then they cost. But that does not funnel money to those in charge.

Go to work, work, go home. Wait for the end of the week/month for their next paycheck.
Most people already have more then a dollar and more then 24 hours to earn money. If schemes like that really worked then why would so many people do anything else?
Cannot remember if the study was stupid or if peoples interpretations of it where. But when covered up else where you will lose a lot of heat through your head. More so then if just an arm or just a leg was exposed as with your arms and legs your body will slow down blood flow through them to try and converse your core temperature - it cannot do that with your head.
But there are more numbers between 0 and 1 then there are whole numbers. So are the countable many angles or uncountably many?

I never argued that. Only pointing out its decent into fascism. All bets are off at that point as to what will happen to its industries.
They were a beneficial strategy. They made Trump and his buddies massive amounts of money from manipulating the stock market. They were even bragging about it after the fact.
Oh, you meant for the country and its people… Nah, that was never the point. If they were thought out at all it was only how it benefits Trump and his buddies.
Trump is supposed to be in office for only 4 years, at best,
That assumes America is still a democracy in 4 years. We are only a few months in and it is already not looking great.
Or your example, how would we have processed ore into metal without coal (on any significant scale).
We have been processing ore into metal with coal for thousands of years. It sounds like you are arguing that the industrial revolution has been happening for thousands of years. Which it has not.
We also made bread in the industrial revolution which is needed to feed the workers. Without feeding the workforce we could not access certain advancements. Is bread a corner stone technology of the industrial revolution? No it is not. It in no way defines what the industrial revolution was. Just like coal or oil.
You can run a steam engine off of coal, wood, oil, nuclear, basically anything that creates a lot of heat. Coal is more convenient in a lot of ways but it did not unlock anything special. If not for coal we could use wood or charcoal. That was the steam engine, not the fuel it runs on.
And if the advancements were because of these fuels that why did it not happen 1000s of years ago when we had access to them?
We burned wood. Then we burned coal. Then we burned oil. Then we burned atoms.
That is not a useful way of thinking of things. We have been burning oil and coal for a very very long time. Coal has been used in smiths to forge metal and oil to light lamps for 1000s of years.
It is not what we burnt that changed, it is what we did with the energy that changed things. Aka the steam engine was the real keystone technology in the industrial revolution. It was not the burning of oil that changed anything - but the internal combustion engine being put into cars.
You might do damage. Though that is very hard to actually do and quite rare in practice.
Sugar is not a critical ingredient in bread. It’s main function is that it creates a softer crust. The only real things you need are flour, water, yeast and salt to create a tasty bread.
