We have all this car infrastructure already. Unless the plan is to somehow replace that all with light rail in the next ten years, EVs are a reasonable solution we can roll out on a shorter timeline.

So autocracies are better on environmental policy?

I get what you're trying to do, but you should feel pretty gross about doing it this way.

Most of us can't afford treatment and have to make choices between adequate healthcare or having money for retirement/anything else.

AGI can't be worse at running things than a bunch of temperamental apes so let's go for it

Leave me alone WHO, always in my DMs

Most people won't demand any of that if gas is cheap. It requires political will to get public transit built and funded.

Increasing the price of carbon means people will have an incentive to stop generating so much of it. If it's free to put another ton of CO2 into the atmosphere many people won't think twice about doing it.

When the fork I use for lunch and throw away will outlast my civilization, I'm very much ok with destroying that technology.

If we're not going to engage on social issues, the default outcome will be letting the right-wing culture warriors drag us back to 1800.

As an American who has waited a full workday in an emergency room for the privilege to then get a mystery bill that seems to be the product of a random number generator, don't privatize your healthcare.

We should embrace anything that gets us off fossil fuels faster even if it comes from companies that have contributed to the problem in the past. We don't have time for purity tests if we actually want to tackle this problem.

The Han are colonizing large parts of Asia, and you'll never hear the Maoists complain about it because that's good colonialism.
