You can haggle with them. Save up a few k and then call them offering to pay a lump sum to settle the debt. A few years ago I broke my wrist and ended up with a 16k bill. I got 3k together, called them, told them I'm poor AF, that they could take the 3k or nothing. They took the 3k.

Personalized timezones based on solar noon for wherever you will be that day. We'll need an army of precogs to chart every one's future noon whereabouts. But I think it will be well worth it.

Lol I'm not trying to harass anyone. Just push back on the notion that all the world's problems can be laid at the feet of the rich. And if we're gonna collectively pull ourselves out of this ecological disaster we've gotta change. Be willing to eat less meat travel less, consume less overall. And plant a damn garden while you're at it!

You're right in that I don't know anything about you. Except that you're willing to completely miss the point of what's been said and decide to take offence.

And so nothing changes and the planet continues to burn. Keep up your conspicuous consumption because some dickbag has a yacht and custom tax scheme. It's whataboutisim. For sure fuck the oligarchy. But if all the billionaires died over night it would barely make a dent in our co2 emissions.

But hey! At least you got yours. Don't worry, the global south will suffer sooner and worse than you.

I don't like this argument that it's just the rich screwing us over. Ya, they're dickbags with no small responsibility for perpetuating our current situation and their insane lifestyles. But all of us need to use less junk, travel less, and eat a whole lot less meat.

I know so many people who will talk about the environment, but will still think nothing of hopping on a plane for the most frivolous of reasons. Won't even consider public transportation. Eats meat every day.

Ya the oligarchy is fucking us over big time. But that doesn't absolve you of any sort of personal responsibility. Reduce, reuse, recycle. And plant a garden while your at it!

Chappie was great!

Right. And what I'm saying is the public transportation departments can't carry that burden.

Except they're not using it for transportation. It's just a place to be and do drugs. When I was living in a city a bit further south, the trains were out of control. People smoking and selling their drugs right at the station, sometimes on the train. Every woman I knew was scared to ride. The stations and trains were just filthy.

Once they started enforcing fares again it got so much better.

Like they could cool their shit, and desalinate water with the waste heat. Provide water to dry areas. Like Baja or Texas. Bonus points if they could run off renewables. Seems like a win win

 
 

Ripped from PaulDrye@lemmings.world no idea who the original artist was. They are talented AF though!
