And that's why I don't wear polos.
Seriously if you ate a lot of canned food as a child just don't do it lol

Responding to pressures from consumers and planners, a new generation of fast-food restaurants is replacing the familiar cookie-cutter, car-centric prototype.
I have read somewhere that the same is said for the asphalt on the highways...who knows?10,000 lbs of tyre rubber (5 tons) accumulate on some airport runways every day!
This is a black dust which I believe, (I don't know for sure) contribute to global warming by increasing the amount of energy absorbed from the sun.
Can Airplane Tires Explode?
The truth is airplane tires are inflated to about 200 psi but they rarely explode. If they do, it's usually because of underinflation.#aviation #flying #pilo...youtube.com
Last I knew we were still subsidizing tobacco farmers. There is no sense to how the government spends MY money.I don't understand why governments and banks are still supporting fossil fuel companies.
The primary purpose of a bank is to loan money. Technically, based on non-discrimination, every applicant who qualifies should be able to receive a loan. Of course there needs to be a degree of leeway in the sense that if a special purpose bank is created to make loans to green energy companies they may have a right to decline loaning money to an oil company.I don't understand why governments and banks are still supporting fossil fuel companies.
In 1990 the then Australian Treasurer, Paul Keating became infamous for his comment about "the recession we had to have". Way too much money had been available and the demand was off the charts. Inflation had been something like sixteen percent or more. It was not sustainable and a lot of over geared businesses that were not viable were contributing to the problem.As such if a business is unsustainable, it should be allowed to fail.
I have long pointed out that it is folly to single out CO2 as the culprit in the global warming saga. The reason that the global warming elitists take this tactic is that it is simple and constitutes a nameless abstract bogyman that is a red-herring easily swallowed by the gullible.This is why it is folly to single out one thing (CO2) as the culprit in the global warming saga:-

One would hope. However consider how people have been easily swayed by various ephemeral fads since 2020. We can no longer define a woman. Men can win female sports events. Merit has been replace by racism. Just this past week the Palestinians have emerged as the new Nazis.My guess is that most people (the reasonable ones) agree with you...

They have always been Nazis. They are just entering the "final solution" phase. Take a look at the persecutions of both Christians and Jews all over the Middle East and northern Africa in Muslim countries going back to the early part of the 20th century. And look at which countries allied with Hitler during WWII. The family of one of my best friends was a victim of this back in the thirties when his family was expelled from Iraq and ended up in China where he was born 10 years later. Then there was a Coptic Christian friend whose family ended up having to leave Egypt due to persecution.Just this past week the Palestinians have emerged as the new Nazis.
