I can pop, or reverse pop my ears at will. Where most people talk about chewing gum to pop their ears on a plane I can push out and suck them in to change the pressure at will. It’s useful to help regulate how much noise gets in (in a small way) too.
I’d be willing to wager a larger percentage of those protesting the increased fuel costs are also “very concerned” about climate change.
Yup, we should be taxing fossil fuels like crazy and putting those funds directly into green infrastructure, but “mah truck!”.
If you eat meat (especially beef or pork) more than once a month you are not an ally in the fight against climate change. Towards that end, meat should be taxed at higher levels than cigarettes or alcohol (in Canada).
Why not both? I have a strong suspicion the climate wars are going also be a class wars. Although, if the common folk won’t, getting jailed for war crimes against the rich may never be prosecuted 🤷♂️

I think that’s at the University of Waterloo - they would routinely close entrances due to aggressive geese.
I was initially drawn to Reddit as a place that offered nuanced conversation. I even used to engage with toxic takes if nothing less than to discredit their take. It’s a complete dumpster fire of toxic ass hats now - not worth commenting within as it’s becoming more and more of a conservative echo chamber.
Or robin hooding it to weath transfer from the ultra rich as a form of wealth redistribution. I’d definitely pass my own pocket a little thicker, to your point, but the main thrust of power focusing on personal benefit would be very narrow and short lived in scope.
Tell me you don’t understand the implications of climate change without telling me you don’t understand the implications of climate change. If you think food and water shortages that put 80-90% of the world’s population at risk of death and simultaneously destroys global economic flows humanity has become reliant on is better quality of life than ever you are dillusenial.
Por que no los dos? I will be okay, and then I will not be okay, before being okay again. Hopefully we can be okay more often than we are not okay.
