The only reason we successfully banned CFCs, is because the more environmentally friendly replacement was cheaper.
If the motivations for fighting climate change (or any problem, really) don’t align with the profit motive of the affected corporations, nothing will be done.
I have a very pragmatic view on capitalism. It isn’t inherently good or evil.
I used to believe this as well. The last decade or so has made me reconsider that belief.
To take it further, no taxes also means privately owned roads and other forms of public infrastructure.
A belief that all people are equal, and should be treated as such
Amazing response, and on point.
Not only are you presenting a false dichotomy, but you’ve also reduced two very complex concepts to flippant, inaccurate, “edgy” statements.
The concept of “wealth” itself is a byproduct of capitalism.
To add, that “inefficiency” has been codified, and it’s not unintentional.
…as long as those “positive steps forward” don’t involve redistributing wealth in a way to completely end those things you’re attributing to nature, amirite?
Way to completely miss (or ignore) the point I made.
But you’re right, Christians have never committed violence in the name of their faith… Lol
If you feign ignorance, and pretend that you don’t know the difference between a belief held by billions of humans, and some corny, uncreative shit you just came up with off the top of your head, does that therefore make you an actual dumbass?
This is why capitalism will never allow us to fix climate change. Short term profits are king, who cares if the world exists in 15 years.
Reminds me of being an edgy teenager and reading 2600 Magazine (that I got from the local Barnes & Noble lol). RIP
Bad bot.
