Then ban oil and cars, too. I'm deadly serious.
- baggy_trough 3y ago"Deadly" is the operative word, as that would cause incalculable suffering and damage.
- epistasis 3y agoCars do cause absolutely untold amounts of death and suffering. Something like 60-80 millions deaths and 2 billion injuries have been caused by cars. It's one of the major causes of early death. Most of our fire departments' time in the US is spent dealing with the carnage and bodily mutilation caused by cars, and only a tiny fraction spent on actual fires.
- baggy_trough 3y agoThat may well be true, and yet, getting rid of oil and cars would be much worse by many orders of magnitude.
- epistasis 3y agoYou think getting rid of oil and gasoline cars would kill 6-8 billion people and injure all the rest?
- baggy_trough 3y agoGetting rid of oil and cars would be much more likely to lead to civilizational collapse than climate change in my opinion.
- epistasis 3y agoFriend, I am right there with you. Its a long political battle ahead of us...
