I don't know about that, Walmart has done a lot of damage to our towns, cities and urban fabric by destroying small businesses and getting subsidized huge properties with more parking lot than productive business and residential space, and almost single-handedly creating a poor class of working people who still have to rely on welfare.
People don't want to change the status quo or inconvenience themselves slightly in any way for the greater good. People want a magic drop in replacement that magically "fixes/solves" the environmental crisis and allows life to continue on as is. (So they don't have to take "yucky" public transit)
What really needs to be known though is life has to somewhat drastically change so we can make the world a healthier place for generations to come in the future.
Yes, the community doesn't complain about bad parking, we complain that parking is bad. Why isn't this lot productive business space with residential above with community gardens at ground level. But instead it's ecological and economic death and despair so people can freely temporarily abandon their private property in a public place.
Where were these even sold? I don't think Health Canada monitors the millions of other similar products with names like ZJDINY on Amazon that probably have similar or worse issues.
Love this quote:
Mayor Fernandez Lores was unmoved. “It’s not my duty as mayor to make sure you have a parking spot,” he said at a 2020 conference. “For me, it’s the same as if you bought a cow, or a refrigerator, and then asked me where you’re going to put them.”
It really absurd how much governmental bending over backwards we make for people to store and move their private property wherever they please (and subsidies)
Can we criticize even shitty people without resorting to sexist remarks please? Lemmy feels like it should be above that kinda language. Call her a turd or whatever 💩
I'm sure the manufacturers love all the new data they can collect on you every update
