They spent it on a giant wall they were trying to build at the border to save them from <checks notes> dangerous people looking for jobs.

You know how Republicans hate “woke”?

It makes sense. If you wake up and just look at results, you see what their priorities get you.

Know what you’re getting into if you follow this dude.

What is the change in the percentage of earth’s surface being farmed over that time?

I am skeptical that we are using enough more land to account for this.

Climate and chemicals seem more likely to me, but your idea is interesting if there is data to back it up.

This, but OP, I think, pointed to the issue maybe without realizing it:

If you feel you are just a.cog in a capitalist machine and not a citizen of a country, why would you celebrate?

It feels like Fox news and all the wedge issues have done their work and destroyed our sense of collective citizenship. Now the GOP is doing their corporate owners’ bidding.

shit cars for shit people. 🤷‍♂️

You claimed that unless there are alternatives with no drawbacks that we are doomed to this in industrialized societies.

I disagree.

When the drawback of plastic is that it is toxic to our health, it seems like all sorts of things we used to use should be back on the table, just for starters, drawbacks and all.

Citation needed. Lots of Romans ate fast food. Y’all just trying to find every excuse to not change anything.

It is killing us. The evidene is mounting. Keep advocating for the status quo if you like, but it is insane to me.

Just wanna pop in real quick and point out we didn’t have plastic in the food production pipline at all for about 9,900 years out of the last 10,000-ish.

We absolutely could eliminate plastic if we had the will. Literally 99% of our history or more has been without plastic.

… and this is how IT ends up being responsible for a breach.

It is a bug, unexpected and undefined behavior - it shouldnt have been there.

You are not wrong about the outcome from a capitalist view, but otherwise you are.

Tesla, too!

Good. Fuck fascism.

Until they get a scratch, it gets infected, and they end up dying a slow, painful death from sepsis.

The grass is always fucking greener.

… and you’re blocked.

Amazing that this person thinks spamming is going to improve anything.

One worked, though. 🤷‍♂️

… always has been.

This. It is easy to <checks notes> NOT put a bunch of cameras in your own house to surveil yourself.

There is no fixing it.
