For all the talk of our need for better healthcare, nobody seems to take note of all the pharmaceutical waste that winds up in the water.

Depends where

In eu we care more about this then in us

At least that what the journalista make me believe

Could be false

maybe the pharmaceutical waste is why everyone is now crazy 🤔

Remember the gay frogs

😔

@Atkins I just noticed something: this "danah boyd" lady

<:GWfroggyMonkaCop:398570032990388244>

mass transit only works if you live on top of each-other

@Atkins she forces all of her colleagues to write her name with lowercase initials

which is most of the EU

doesn't work as well in the states

too spread out

You can see it across their website: wherever she is mentioned, her name is written entirely with lowercase letters.

cost of maintenance makes it difficult outside of cities

I'm actually not opposed to mass transit.

The ability to travel via Bullet Train from Houston to Dallas appeals to me.

mass transit it is great, its just expensive when areas are spread out

New Myles Power vid.

That's Miles Prower, tyvm.

Ultimately, if there is a road subsidy paid for by fuel, then anyone who operates something with lower impact than cars (motorcyclists, bus operators, etc.) should be sent the equivalent subsidy to what they replace.

That's how I think non-municipal mass transit subsidy should work

probably municipal as well, but for many munis, that ship has long since sailed

'Climate Change' is a bogeyman set up for anything inconvenient, from Hurricanes to Snowstorms on, to make those who oppose it 'complicit' in their occurrence. It's a social means of controlling the actions of a population.

The biggest problem with cars is inconvenience

while, of course, convenience is the greatest strength of cars

I'm not opposed to advances in technology. I'm not opposed to cleaner emissions and higher efficiency.

bullet trains in the U.S. just don't make sense

I'm not particularly excited to drive a car that gets 15 miles to the gallon or some such shit.

except perhaps in texas, and along existing, cleared rail corridors

~~I'd disagree, and say they do in Texas.~~ You're daaaamn right.

climate change alarmists are the worst

heheh :- )

they take a study saying "this bad stuff will happen over the next 100 years or so" and say "in the next 10 years all this shit will happen!"

@Grenade123 The end result is that the majority of people are sure that _something_ is going wrong at _some rate_, but completely confused as to how much.

yep

and somehow preppers are still laughed at

Al Gore is the probable granddaddy of modern climate change denial
