Mfw fast fashion is somehow ok for the environment because it’s China doing it.

I get not shitting on China for no reason like the imperialists do, but glazing China for things that are still obviously bad is a wild take. Fuck fast fashion and fuck this comment. Consumerist apologist slop.

what the fuck even is this comment

Shut up nerd

This comment has the certified correct opinion

Central planning when done by governments: 😡

Central planning when done by private monopolies: 😃

Capitalist logic

“Workers” are the people who work the most. And who works harder than the CEOs? /s

They seem to forget that unions were the compromise.

And that’s just in the last year

Yes, but there’s a reason Floridian houses typically don’t have basements.

Yes you can use the ground to cool you, provided you live near the ground. If you live in the eleventh floor on the sun-facing side of an apartment building, it’s a little more difficult to use the ground to cool you. There are, of course, other clever passive tricks in building design that would work if we cared to spend the money on them.

But yes, running a little window unit (I think 750 W is conservative for those things but regardless) during the hottest hours in a small room would be fine for anyone in terms of survival.

Good point. It’s not profitable to build passively cooled housing. But it’s essential that we do. That doesn’t get you all the way to temperatures that won’t kill anybody, but it does mean you go from using 1500 W on average to something much less, and for MOST people, it might even be enough on its own.

Meanwhile in America, teenagers are being ground alive in meat packing plants

You can get most of the way there with an EV and a long commute.

How could humans ever have survived in the days before circa 1950

Some literally didn’t. You see this every time there’s a heat wave, the elderly and other vulnerable people literally fucking die.

That’s literally break out the sunscreen and start sunning on the lawn chair weather.

It is not a cost to them. It is the point.

Like talking to an LLM. “You’re absolutely right! Here’s a model that works, fixing the mistakes of the previous one.”

If people like a product more than another, they signal this by… consuming more of it. There is no other feedback with the grocery store. The only thing that grocery store can measure on the consumer side is the rate of consumption.

This, of course, is completely unlike a planned economy, because in that case, the only thing a distributor can measure is rate of consumption! /s

Not in Jerboa
