And yet we leave our own infrastructure connected to the internet. It’s like we want our power grid to fail, our dams to release a flood, our water supply to be over-floridated.

Dude, I Want To Believe™ just as much as you, but citing the NYPost does not constitute “truth” at all. We all know that we are subject to propaganda, all know how Cambridge Analysis manipulated public opinion and political agendas. Robert

The article says, and you quoted it, “We show that we need to transition to a global plant-based economy *first*”. The article is daft propaganda. Yes, we need to eat a mainly vegetable diet, no animal husbandry is not the supermajority dri

Ever met someone who keeps falling for MLMs? Cut from the same cloth. Likewise those who follow prosperity preachers. Naïve, greedy, and a sucker for a smooth talker.

It is said that the CIA sabotaged Russian pipelines back in Reagan’s day, using methods quite similar to their sabotage of Iran’s centrifuges: diddling the controller software. As I’m sure we all know, we have made the tragic mistake of con

Burning down forests counts for sweet fuck-all because forest fires aren’t emitting millennia-old sequestered carbon . The only important impact on global warming from animal husbandry is methane emission, and while agricultural emissions

Of course a vegan activist group is going to attempt to convince us all that it’s animal husbandry that’s destroying the atmosphere. I’m sure the fossil fuel companies want us to believe that, too. Coal and petroleum emit some 37 billion

Are unbanked/underbanked driving electric cars? I can’t imagine they can afford to pay cash for those vehicles, and they obviously won’t be getting a car loan. I doubt it’s possible to rent one without a credit card. Not to say the cha

What you don’t do is try to move them all into on system, like Canada did with its disastrous Phoenix pay system boondoggle. Here’s an article… and years later it is still not working right. https://globalnews.ca/news/3

I think your problems must stem from astounding levels of corruption. I’m up in a small town in British Columbia, population circa 40K. Our compost is collected weekly; our recycling and garbage biweekly (garbage used to be weekly but they’
