Yuuup, because to pretty much everyone on top, it's not sadistic, it's business as usual. They don't typically experience the crushing despair of the poor.
This system is working as intended and must be transformed so dramatically as to be nearly unrecognizable or fall altogether.
Younger generations have had less time, resources, etc. to react to these disasters and we're constantly told "you have it easier" or "just tough through it" by people over 40 who have the privilege to not see it as the end of the world all the time.
It really just boils down to ageism and classism being used against younger generations to keep us quiet, and this kind of question reads as dismissive.
Edit: you're not wrong that other age groups are suffering, but I think a better response is hey, me too instead of what, you think this objectively false thing is true? (I'm being dramatic for effect, not to make you look silly)
I just hope this doesn't mean Big Tech is incentivized to buy up lots of beach sand from poor cities already dealing with hurricanes.
Beach sand, if you didn't know, is an important barrier between the land and oceans and greatly affects the size of waves that come crashing into the coast. Big rocks and other substrates just don't calm waves like ocean-eroded sand can.
Both men started out rich and affluent! Of course they could make profitable companies. I could too with blood emerald money 🤷
But I'm also not the type of narcissist to want to hoard the blood emerald money or whatever Gates had and infinitely increase it beyond what I need to live and thrive.
"Efficient employee" is corpo speak for "abused and compliant worker". Of course they wouldn't fire the people that give them the most results for the least in return.
Edit: I do work 40 hours/week and it's bullshit. I don't reply to corporate shills
It's a fair question, and also this conversation leaves out the necessity of public transportation which would be a much better way to reduce pollution (which EV fans will often say is why you need an EV).
Sand is a non-renewable resource
Not all beaches are public, and not all are in America where there are laws that protect beaches.
