TDLR: Hate the game, not the player. But also hate players who do not wish to change the game for the better.

Lmao what kind of Facebook boomer humour is this

Wow, I didn’t expect someone to say such good stuff about him. That’s cool! Glad that California has a good Governor. Also, I didn’t know that Bill Clinton was the governor of Arkansas of all places lmao.

Who’s this Newsom fellow? Never heard his name before (non American here)

Man this is just so so beautiful…

I don’t see why u’r getting downvoted. U just explained the power dynamics in the Democratic party. U didn’t say u liked Pelosi. Man ppl on Lemmy can rlly be heavy handed with the downvote button.

Those forms of energy storage r very location dependent and also quite cost inefficient. Chemical batteries make sense almost everywhere. The only problem is shitty Lithium. Replacing it with sodium ion kinda solves all problems.

Less people die on airplanes than other modes of transport. So yeah, that’s the level of safety despite Boeing’s bullshit.

Woah, that sounds depressing. How did this happen though? Weren’t the members not active enough throughout the years to prevent this state of affairs?

I would disagree. Take a look at airplanes for instance. Good safety policy measures and enforcement can make seemingly high risk operations incredibly safe. Take a look at French nuclear reactors for example. Good nuclear safety policies, hence no accidents.

Some poor people really really love being cucked by rich people. Uggh

Exactly. Sure, shutting down existing plants is dumb af (looking at you, Germany). But building new plants now with the aim of having an impact on climate change just isn’t the most effective decision.

Exactly. Building nuclear power plants in the 80s should’ve been the way humanity went. Now, advancements in batteries (Sodium ion for example) and established supply chains means that solar/wind + batteries is the way to go.

I don’t agree with ur safety take on nuclear energy though. All nuclear energy accidents were the result of shitty operational management who were warned waaaay before. It’s like airlines in the 60s, where safety standards were hilariously bad. Now, with extremely stringent regulations, we can solve the safety issues.

It’s a joke my guy…

I see. Are there any clothing coops? I’m not really seeing even a single one of those online among the coop federation.

I don’t understand. You can still vote for Calgary Coop’s Board of Directors, get rebates and stuff like that, no? Same with the credit unions you mentioned, right? I don’t mean to challenge your position of course- I just want to understand the problem better.

I also see that you dislike the merger between the two credit unions. Why’s that bad? Won’t it be better to have a larger democratic bank?

Awww thank u so much!!! Really excited to get there!

Libertarian socialism (and its subsets) is the most logical political position. Capitalists are tyrants. However, a large state is definitely not the answer. A large state is slow, inefficient and almost always tyrannical.

We can achieve a classless post-scarcity society while still having a small state, with the help of worker-consumer hybrid co-operatives and free federations of these. Free association should always be important for any political system.

That is not quite true. Electric cars over their lifetime are definitely a lot lot better than ICE cars. HOWEVER, they are definitely not the solution for transportation. Public transit is.

Getting new electric vehicles makes sense for vehicles that simply cannot be replaced by other alternatives (examples of such vehicles being pickups for businesses, those little vans for the post office, buses, etc.).

Of course, the most eco friendly thing is generally what u already have. Switching to an electric car from ur five year old ICE car is more environmentally damaging.

Be vigilant, and also protect your joy in living everyday life, bc at the end of the day that’s kinda all you have so don’t let it slip away with too many far-off thoughts that you have no control over.

True. It just feels so depressing on social media due to stuff like this. Do what needs to be done. There r many like u doing the same thing. U r not alone.
