Well tax the rich a bit more and use that money to build Nuclear plants, why on Earth Jeff Bezos or whatever need a trillion dollars to squat on is beyond me. Once the planet is fucked, they're fucked too, no matter how much they talk about rockets and mars or whatever. I'm starting to think they just tell those stories to keep the plebs hopeful, away from them.

This is pretty funny. In fact it’s these environmentalists who get nuclear plants shut down. https://www.riverkeeper.org/news-and-events/news-and-updates/how-to-close-a-nuclear-power-plant-qa-with-phillip-musegaas https://www.riverkeeper.org/news-and-events/news-and-updates... If you asked Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos if we should build nuclear plants, they’d say yes with hardly any hesitation. If you let them build the plants, they would. But if you ask most people who work as environmentalists they’d oppose them. In fact, it’s a bare majority of Americans who would support nuclear and even as recent as 2015 that was a minority. The plebs are usually the problem when it comes to these things. Because they are innumerate, stupid, and unable to see the consequences of their own actions. They combine these traits with equal weight in politics in our system - which is a flaw in it but far better than the flaws in any alternative one.

I don't "want them to build them and charge me money" I want them to pay their fair share to fund the building of public utilities. Before you say these things are better private, go look at what happened to electricity prices in Australia are privatization. The plebs are usually the problem Sure mate.

    You're never going to get nuclear plants so long as you let the plebs choose. Riverkeeper is what you get from plebs: anti-progress, anti-science, anti-nuclear. It's time to be honest about what stops progress: the common people.

      Let’s be honest, you’re just a very cynical person. Plebs build open source software, so stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

        Plebs absolutely do not. That’s such a small fraction of elite people. Plebs barely know how to operate a computer. You have no interaction with a 70th percentile intelligence let alone a 50th. The plebs are making SQLite make their default extension etilqs so that no one blames them when software that uses SQLite creates temporary dbs.

        You're an idiot.

        Now imagine how stupid an anti-nuclear person must be. And then reconcile that with the fact that most environmentalist orgs are anti-nuclear.
