Doesn’t really matter if the economy got bigger if it just means more money to corporations. The average person has certainly not seen growth. A mortage increase of 5% coupled with low wage increases, high food and fuel inflation left most people much worse off.

Then again, this unit of measure has always been a very poor one in countries with huge wealth gaps.

I’d be amazed if they don’t block commenting.

Would slowing them down be enough? I’m thinking along the lines of a magnet.

Reminds me of ant lines.

That’s amazing. Is this money protected somehow or are we seeing a bunch of people get scammed?

Wanna bet most people making a scene out of it don’t even use sunscreen?

The sun pumps out some amazing stuff. It happens to be the OG nuclear reactor.

I say this as a long term caffeine for the rest of my life addict. Coffee + sugar is a wildly different effect than just coffee. I avoid sugar completely during my coffee hours.

One of them carried a hammer held by her bra. Wild. The person in charge of this place should be facing criminal charges.

He was paid in exposure, pride, and accomplishment.

What doesn’t? At this point I’d guess most people want him dead.

That head grab before the kiss though. Looks like he is used to forcing these things.

Alistair! I’m not a window cleaner!

China has entire towns that are toxic wastelands. This is just a political statement, probably their usual brainwashing of self.

Since when do we blame the responsible people when things go wrong?

And that’s not the worst I have seen. Things like raisins are basically flavoured sugar.

Don’t tell the people fighting this about coal power plants and other things that actually fuck the environment and kill us.

Never even knew the original. What was it?

Have you tried rubbing a lamp?

Facebook has been abusing people’s mental illnesses for decades. It will take more than a statement on lemmy to fix that.

The fires are happening today.

That’s the problem with averages vs medians. It completely overlooks wealth gap.

Here is an example. Moderna CEO made something like $500 million last year. If Moderna had 1000 employees, that would mean the company’s average employee pay is $500,000. And that’s before even adding their pay to this average.

The world has its own CO2 cycle so it’s not that we need to reach 0, we just need to reach a balanced emission threshold. Though at this point we will also need to aid this process with further removal.

The issue is mostly that we are outputting too much. Shipping industries, energy production, other transport such as cars and planes. These industries are a big part of the problem and the ones fueling (e.g. oil) them are the ones most interested in your feeling of hopelessness, as then they have free reign over their actions.

The world has and will get hotter. There will be more disasters. But it’s unlikely to be the end of civilisation. The more we act now, the fewer people will suffer.

It’s not a hopeless cause at all. Look at our tech now vs 100 years ago. Humanity has the means to do it.
