  • i don’t think it is the same problem as privatization of fema. world is not going to change because scientists publish a report and some average joe like you or me says “exactly. time to do something about it!”.

    this change, unfortunately, cannot come from the bottom. i could buy new electric car (if i could afford it), but since i live in a country where 75% of energy comes from fossil fuels, it doesn’t really change anything, it just moves the exhaust pipe from the car to local coal power plant. this needs big structural change and that change will come when and only when the BIG MONEY™ finds out that doing business as usual started to hurt their bottom line and they cannot bullshit their way out of it.

    and to me, the discussed news means we are at that point and they realize that. will they try to cheat and hoard as much money as possible during the process? of course they will, but they would do it anyway, so i am really glad we have at least arrived at this point.





  • It’s weird how often people try to pin it on me personally

    it is weird how often there are consequences to my own actions… 😆

    Me? I’m sticking with safe and legal. I lack the skills and resources to have a sliver of a chance at carrying out the other path successfully, let alone walking away from it with my freedom or life intact.

    so what exactly was your point? did you want to encourage others to do what you won’t do yourself? or were you under the impression that people actually don’t jave this very generic piece of knowledge and wanted it to share? guess what, most people lack the skill or resources to do that and get away free, or a will to martyr themselves for it, same as you.

    and the people who do have the skills and resources and would be willing to think about it don’t need your advice to do it.

    it’s like calling 911 to report that a building is on fire, and the operator asks why I’m not running into it with a bucket.

    no, it is like a voyeur watching a house on fire shouting “why isn’t someone running in with a bucket?” and when someone asks “well, why aren’t you?” they start producing some word salad hoping to drown their own words in it…
