Yes, this is why. Not because it’s an incredibly hard problem affecting all 8B people on this planet. Glad you sorted it out!
- ssklash 3y agoHard problems are solved with money and political will. Political will is created with money. Money that is provided by companies who profit massively from the status quo.
- qeternity 3y agoThis is so absurd. Look at what happens when gasoline prices go up. People around the world literally riot. Stop placing the blame on politicians and oil companies, not because those groups are defensible, but simply bc it won’t advance the issue: the average person does not want to reduce their quality of life. That’s why.
- fnimick 3y agoWe know exactly how to solve it, but nobody is willing to vote for collective action to give up any of their cushy lifestyle. Don't believe me? Try to get a bike lane installed in your city at the fraction of the cost of car infrastructure, and see how many death threats you get. I wish I was joking.
