Sadly, that won't happen with anyone. People are corruptible. It would have to be a system that can't be used for financial gain for any one individual or group. But I agree with you nonetheless. The worst part is that it wouldn't be all that hard, but the ones in charge will not relinquish for our betterment.

How is a small nuclear reactor going to run cars? This is coming from an ev driver. How about investing in our own oil industry, because, let's be honest, it's not going anywhere anytime soon. Instead we send our oil to be refined elsewhere then buying it back at high rates and hurt us, just do it in our own country and sell it abroad, especially since we have the 4th largest oil reserves on the planet. Lowering fuel costs lower costs of a lot of things as long as we actually hold companies responsible. And before you say everyone just get evs, they are expensive and not a lot can get one.

I completely get the idea, but for me, if someone cheers on my stupidity, it makes me instantly feel shame. Have someone told you you're doing a great job when you very obviously couldn't be doing worse just to get a rise? I feel it's a similar thing. Either way, you do you.

In all honesty, as soon as you start seeing the signs of step two, drop whatever service it is. If enough people actually practiced what they preached; talking with your wallet and for the model that just requires views or clicks did it, things would actually change.

I imagined it was read by Cave Johnson; it adds a certain something.

Not just the people, but they are so thoughtful as to remove the polluting airplanes, too. Praise to the overlords.

Arrested for cuteness.
