The trickle down meme economy.

There’s someone who uses 7 monitors?? That’s…impressive, but in what case is a 7 monitor setup useful?
This is why we need more public transport everywhere in the world. Get idiots off the street, but enable them to go to the doctor, school, work, and everything else, so we have less idiots in the future.
I’m from a third world country in the global South, of course I don’t support any destruction. How is saying nuking a region a support to stop destruction?
Also: I wasn’t accusing them of being a bot, but I can’t imagine anyone not being paid or manipulated to support nuking Europe as if it’s a good idea.
Are you a Russian or Chinese troll? Please quit, your conscience must be telling you to stop.
It’s because “打火機” is a noun, direct translation would be “the fire striking machine” which means the lighter. So the sentence is a shorthand to ask whether they have a lighter.
I don’t know much about this guy but it sounds like he’s a piece of shit
There are places where natural gas is used for heating and cooking by combustion. These tasks can also be done with electricity for the power source and then we’ll be overall cleaner. However the transition is a massive task and requires a lot of convincing (e.g. that cooking with induction is as good or better even than gas, heat pump costs less in the long run).
That is also true. In production perspective there’s no sense to keep a small production quantity alive just for a limited application. Then we’ll arrive at the conclusion that governments need to be able to regulate businesses with objective policies - not affected by industry lobbying. But that would need a very robust system of governance where the people cannot be bought out, ideally.
That’s why in my view the key here is the policy - where to subsidize and not, where to tax and stop issuing permits, taking EOL pumps accountable etc.
It boils down to political will to efficiently fund the transition. We can let planes fly - no simple solution to that. Put subsidies for green steel - currently costlier, not many companies will adopt too soon Build more public transport - fuck dem cars Enable remote work Invest in farmers to make the transition to electric tractors, then cut out gas subsidies
These are doable today, the funds should come easily if we don’t let billionaires get away without paying taxes. Side note: 1 billion is a tremendous amount of money, but the top billionaires are worth 200 billions!!!
At that point just a tad more and they’re going vegan because the cows are probably vaccinated, then they cut down their (bp propaganda) carbon footprint in the confusion 😂
I agree, it will probably work
That’s the stupidest you’ve seen all week, so far
You can start the switch early to get used to it 😉
They're playing the long game, at this rate they'll soon have no winter to worry about, it will be 25°C in the winter and there's no heating needed so no more energy demand spikes! /S
We are feces producing machines with a byproduct of work.
Not sure if I can be helpful but lately there are several manufacturing sectors trying to reduce their footprint in China and move to Vietnam or India, for a mix of reasons (rising labor cost in China, geopolitical tension implying potential supply chain disruption). The US promoting their relations with Vietnam means there will be trade deals (free trade maybe?) which will incentivize manufacturers to move their production there, potentially away from China.
IMO her argument is that we need to rework the system, providing more people with better access to public transport so everyone can reduce their damage without needing to sacrifice their day to day function, so it’s really irrelevant whether our damage is more or less in comparison to hers.
Not a personal solution but trains don’t have tires, and busses probably consume less tires per person per km.
I’d like to try it out one day, for now I don’t think I want to do that kind of investment in my setup. It sounds glorious though to have so many monitors.
