I never had a noticeable case of it either. I think I probably had an asymptomatic case

At this point probably everyone has had omicron or one of the later less harmful variants. The trend of becoming more transmissible and less harmful is normal for corona viruses. Im with most people in being apprehensive about getting additional boosters. Why do you feel there's a real danger?

Yeah if you want to fix zoning to increase density that's a local government issue. I personally like having a car and large house outside of the city. I'm absolutely in support of government fixing multi residential zoning .. Would have loved better options when I was younger. I'm sure a lot of developers would gladly respond to those market forces if given the option .. Do you think it's nimbys preventing that or capitalists?

There's at least a grain of truth in that book. Try starting a business or producing something.

Look at domestic attempts to mine lithium or building semiconductor plants. Try building anything here.

“When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing; when you see that money is flowing to those who deal not in goods, but in favors; when you see that men get rich more easily by graft than by work, and your laws no longer protect you against them, but protect them against you. . . you may know that your society is doomed.”

Personal transport also has massive benefits. Try transporting a few sheets of drywall on public transport. Try moving a sick person to the hospital. Try living outside of an urban centre..

I like cars. They're comfortable and convenient.

Private aviation is basically nothing in terms of emissions. Is pretty gross though.

Just like all other environmental legislation Chinese imports will just fill the void. They use mostly coal.

What if alternatives for heavy emitters like steel and concrete producers do not exist at this time.. Just dictating targets might be unproductive.

Companies emissions are exclusively to provide you the consume with goods and services. Companies will respond to the marker dictated by the consumer. Really we are also driving the 70%..

I mean.. they're making things for us generally. I don't think they're emitting recreationally. Look at a pie chart of total emissions and figure what you could cut to hit 50%. Do away with all transportation.. Boats planes etc and you're not even close.
