The only way to stop fascism is to make them hurt.

Yes. Complete shutdown. Wake people the fuck up.

Bbc is?

I’m surprised they lasted this long.

And a lot of burnt carbon to get there :(

If theres anything Ive learned from the fire departments insistence to have big wide roads so that they can shave off nano seconds to their response time, sometimes theres bigger things than persieved immediate safety to the individual.

For example, if we all drove Kei trucks slowly on small roads, a collision would not be as bad as driving a big safety focused truck at 80mph.

Still, your point is well taken. Maybe there are some ways to make safe small vehicles, including trucks, that arent explored yet.

Hm. Interesting point.

Maybe as we move our economy away from cars, and people dont all have to be drivers, we could also move away from cars that are poorly designed specifically around bad drivers.

Democracy now doesnt have ads, so YOU are the sponsor.

Edit: oh is that the law: “if theres a question in the headline, the answer is no” and here the answer is yes. Sorry, I was a bit thrown off by your second part.

Democracy now is doing excellent coverage of palestine. Also the majority report.

I have conversations with my spouse sometimes where I am asking for information, and she reads me the article.

I can read it myself! What did you find interesting?

Maybe, I think people still “know” its going on, but they forget by the allure of our smart phones, so this is a good reminder.

Also having lots of children is probably the single biggest carbon impact, since youre multiplying your own consuption.

I wont say “dont have any children and let society collapse” but Im also feeling pretty negative about all this tbh.

Well, if cars dont cause climate change, AI will.

Yeah. Good point.

I guess a thought I had is that instead of school busses, what if we used a public transit option for everyone? But then everyone would need to use it and we’re not there.

School busses are def better than everyone driving their own students to school and back. So that was something I missed in my initial post.

Im just over the whole “ev revolution” but taking that out on busses is silly.

Evs are nice, but not a solution. Walkable bikable cities are the way we get out of this climate mess.
