We cut our emissions a by like 1/4 a few years ago. China only increased theirs. They've never stopped demanding we make more change while no one else on the planet is expected to do anything. We don't even pollute the most but ok.

China's the real problem. Our "controbutions" arent doing anything

the last 15 years we have seen a decline in our total carbon footprint

The best thing that’s happened to the environment in the past 100 years is locking everyone in their homes

that's true

COVID = fake thing created by enviornmentalists?

Not even close

Now you're just sitting there making tons of non-biodegradable trash.

I believe in clean air and clean water. But not because of man made climate change doctrine

The thing is, so many companies are already required to put back in at least a chuck of what they take out that it's already being combatted.

@Risate okay my thing on covid is 1 we needed the shutdowns at the time for exactly 1 month no longer. By that point we had enough data collected to reopen. At first it was thought the virus was going to kill a solid 6-10% of the population like the spanish flu did.

fuck my 2001 Dacia Solenza 1.9 Diesel stopped working

oooof

maybe its cuz I removed the engine

But people still hate cyclists

There's no historical or scientific evidence to suggest lockdowns would have done anything at all. Given there was never really any "slow" of the spread that fact remains.

exactly @Knotty !

I went to a gas Truck now. I just sold my F550 over the weekend and bought a 2500HD full box, crew cab pick up from Chevy. The thing has more torque than my 2004 Ford F550

It’s reasonable to think they wanted people as miserable as possible come Election Day.

^^

Another reason for making COVID such a big deal is this:

If 90% of the voters believe a lie that there's this terrible disease killing everyone, then the president, who is a part of the intelligent 10%, will look like an idiot.

The Hong Kong protests are why we got Covid.

@SheWhoMustNotBeNamed that is because of human nature my friend. It probably slowed it a bit, BUT it also cost America a lot more than it was worth after the 2 months of shutdowns.

China was so close to being made to do something it didn't want to do by the rest of the world and then, boom. International crisis.

also I bet there have been more suicides due to depression and the economic impact than from covid itself 🙂

^ fact

@Knotty there hat

suicides have skyrocketed

*has

and poverty rate has gone yeet

hell after my shop in Minneapolis burned down I had 3 workers that kill themselves

Wow its almost like I called it

USA has conducted more Covid tests than India. But people think they can believe the case stats. Meanwhile China reports fewer cases than Panama. Amazing

The rioting and lockdowns are causing.more harm than good

flat out 3 guys that were working for me there killed themselves because they thought they were going to lose their jobs over it.

If you’re a cis white man trying to support his family and paying a lot of tax. There is no support group for you

I am currently taking care of their families by paying them out the insurance policies that they had out of my own pocket which is around $1m between the 3 of them.

No appreciation months

For our country we don't even have the statistics of those who have recovered posted. Why can't I see all the information, guys!? FBI? CIA? Anyone tuning in? I'd love to see that percentage too for context!

life insurance doesn't cover suicide. so keep that in mind if any of you ever do it.
