    Proving once again that the police is funded by our tax money so they can protect the interest of the wealthy who pay little to no tax

      Oddly enough, the fascist pedophile leading the US has done more to stop oil than any world leader before him.

      He’s doing it in the most insanely moronic, genocidal, illegal and pathetic way possible, and its all unintentional. But the current massive push to green by all other countries is because, ironically, the violence and terror wrought by late-stage capitalism.

        We still have to pump gas to go to work. It only eats more and more of the income on one end, and makes everything else more expensive which eats from the other end. When, if ever, will you be able to buy an electric? Just to marginally relieve one end. Total disaster, predictably.

          Many governments are offering grants to help ordinary citizens to buy green. However, the poorer citizens will, as ever, only be able to afford old second-hand cars, so EVs won’t penetrate that part of the market until the technology is old.

          That said, public transportation is decidedly green already. Here in Limerick City, each and every city bus is 100% electric. So the poorest people who can’t even afford a car are already living an extremely green lifestyle.

            Here in Chestnut Castle the buses are 30% full, they’re all old big diesel cans. The gov here also no longer offers grants. So idk wtf are you talking about.

            Also the state gets money for all of that from the working poor. That faucet is running thin as having a job begins to not be enough.

        you are 100% correct… from Canada we also had the unexpected benefit of finally acting on the decades old knowlege that dealing so much with the USA was a liability

        if we survive all this, we may end up in an actual better world… if we survive it
