  yeah. actually I do care about the ecosystem but I don’t think messing up everything is the best way of fixing stuff. I’d much rather electric trains carry the bulk of transportation than simply stopping all transportation

  if you want to ‘save the world’ while stopping

  • chip manufacture
  • the internet (because the world needs new chips often)
  • Lemmy (because no internet)
  • food (because less agriculture from other countries) <-- which we all want (no shipping = no avocados, no Indian spices)
  • medicine <-- which we need
  • the majority of jobs <-- which we really need

  then go and try, but don’t be surprised when no one is in favor of your insane plan

      you clearly didn’t read the part of what I wrote where I mentioned medicine

      this would kill people 🤦

      or do you want the internet to disappear because no chips are being made? you don’t want Lemmy to exist? wow

      and at the same time you would want to cost everyone their jobs?

        1. Clearly you didn’t read the part where I mentioned nuclear powered cargo ships.

        2. I like how you’re putting more emphasis on jobs then medicine. I wonder where you’re getting your proprieties from.

        3. If you want people to carefully read your whole post, maybe you should carefully use proper grammar. If you’re going to write an essay, at least use proper punctuation.

        4. I don’t expect anyone to follow any plan. I expect them to do the same thing they did through covid. Make the most selfish, self-centered discussions and cause the most unnecessary amount of suffering.
