Reading this thread is like being confronted by an aggressive panhandler.
Please spare me from the "old man" bullshit. It's a slur. Akin to calling someone the N word. It has no basis in fact. It's the same as saying "young men contribute nothing." But the funny thing is you thinking that impoverishing the middle class helps.
Hey, we can go back to burning firewood. Yeah, that's it. Or have you ever lived where they ban burning firewood because of air quality? I have.
I'm not arguing what you should do. I am saying what is going to happen - taxed or not. Taxes will always be wasted.
Although I did suggest you tax the problem directly as an aside. Those are the people benefiting the most and costing the future the most so I would suggest they be taxed accordingly. Carbon credits and such are just ripe to be scammed.
At least with the clean energy people they can't be secretive about everything like the military people.
The reason we are doomed is just as much a people problem as a tech problem. People don't care or can't understand why they should care.
Remember the CO2 is increasing at a record rate even after all this bullshit. We just sell it off elsewhere so other countries build infrastructure for it. Trump openly courts the oil people. There is little to say we aren't fucked. People just do some hand waving and magical thinkin.
oh well
I'm telling you the middle class is going to be impoverished regardless of which side you take. Do nothing or tax and do something.
IDGAF about burning wood. You stop burning wood and thats pretty much it. You stop producing Co2 and it is there for 100s+ of years.
The fact that you are an old man is completely relevant. You don't have skin in the game old man. It is a slur and it is reality. One day you keep babbling on they'll roll your ass right out of the room into the back where you can drool on by yourself. This shit is way beyond your little soft-ass crying dont slur me! It is very real and people are going to be very fucked. I don't give a fuck about your little talking points that were spoon fed into your 1 track brain. Oh the middle class will be hurt ! oh REALLY? no fucking shit.
What a nervous, neurotic wreck!
Everyone breathing is "relevant". And your phony caring about younger generations is as cheap as the way you live. Too greedy to have offspring and too broke to adopt.
I burn wood in my fireplaces and firepit, I take loooong hot showers nearly every day, I proudly drive gas guzzlers more miles than nearly everyone else combined here, I'd Roll Coal at the EV pussies if I had a diesel p/u, I never waste time separating garbage, and I don't pick up my dog's shit unless she goes in my or someone else's yard. Green this and Green that. Anyone who doesn't like what I do can lick it--then take it down the road and stick it.
No, Robby Playboy, you are not relevant.
You do seem like the sort of dipshit lifelong loser who would get a truck to "roll coal". At least you own it.
I just keep this little thread going .. Remind people the clock is ticking. A year ago I was telling people bad records were going to be broken and was clowned by a few. (Thats ok - thats why we're here) But it became too obvious and common to bother and not particularly important to me. So recently I come across a few basic points and bump a thread. I'm not the one who has to justify this or that. Nor do I prove anything to anyone. I just want you to understand what you're doing to people. I sleep fine.
I do not sit up all night trying to figure out how to create little stories for the internet like you and your associate "KewlJ" do. Too nervous? Maybe but tell us more.
Just got out of another of those long hot showers, while AQ has his temp turned down to lukewarm to "save da planet" :)
Quick irritation explained.
Just tellin' you the truth of how it is. You don't want to hear it. Yea, I'm "triggered" in this post because I rip on you so hard. Nah,you're just that deserving in this case. lol
Fuck you and Singer and anyone else who mocks this issue which is as important as anything humanity has ever faced.
But both you and Singer are pure muppets when it comes to politics so none of it is surprising.
