Well, a quick Google search says billions of straws are used every day.

A straw seemingly cointans 0.42 grams of plastic.

So by using paper straws, assuming just 1 billion straws a day, we save 420 million grams (420 tons) of plastic.

Assuming it takes the same amount of oil to create a kg of plastic and a kg of fuel, that is 420 tons of fuel a day, just over 150k tons of fuel a year.

An average private jet has a capacity of around 20 tons of fuel (looked up G650 on Wikipedia).

So, the global paper straw usage offsets at least 7500 private jet flights. More if we use more than a billion straws, and more if we assume a jet doesn't fully burn 100% of the tank on every flight.

Ok, so you voted third party, hence making it easier for trump to win. Have the day you voted for!

Dems rejected his proposal and he went to trump. If the dems voted not to confirm him it wouldn't have mattered. The republicans are in charge, full control of all branches of government. Complaining about the dems everytime a republican does something barbaric is just excusing their behavior.

Almost half, exactly, so they have no power. They control no chamber. They sit in no office. They can go on interviews and complain how much everything sucks, and I assume they do that. Voters made sure to leave them no tools to stop the gop.

You really wish I was German, huh? Americans are so fixated with ethnicity and race, just like Germans. But 90 years ago.

Covid was the exception, where used cars were at times more expensive than new. At any other point, including now, it's an automatic 20 to 40% loss of value as soon as you drive it the first kilometer.

Someone has to buy new cars. Some has to buy rolexes. Someone has to buy business class seats and 5 star hotel rooms. If you are buying any of that while poor, that is the reason you stay poor.

Internet history. An old protocol originally for discussion, nowadays also to sail the seven seas, if you know what I mean. It predates the web by more than a decade.

Which is bad optics, but irrelevant to the outcome.

How is that shaming poor people? It's shaming dumb behavior. New cars are the most expensive purchase a normal person can do. Thousands up to tens of thousands of euros of value gone in an instant. If you can afford it and you want to give yourself a treat, go ahead, but if you are poor, that's what keeping you poor.

Electorate =/= swing voters

Nah, the majority of Americans chose trump (or staying at home). Of voters, 77 vs 75. I don't vote in German elections (because I'm not German), but the AfD being at 30% or Le Pen being at 33% is way preferable to being at 58% like trumps victory.

Keep blaming Russians, dems,consultants, billionaires, news and Soros, but trump was elected by the American public, so again, have the day you voted for!

3x1.5 is 4.5k. Still a good price for an EV BTW.

There's one on the lot near my house for 4k. Still less than 30k. Still bullshit.

BTW, you don't need a subscription for the Zoe. You can either buy the battery or rent it, but there's no subscription.

Who the fuck buys brand new cars??? No wonder you are poor. Buying a new car is a fucking luxury. 40% depreciation on the first day.

I explicitly said that EVs have been on the market for 15 years so you can get a USED one for cheap.

I'll agree with complicit, but the main responsibility lies with the gop and the public that put them in place. There are 77 million people responsible, and a few dems "complicit".

Sorry, but 9 networks on channel 8 can hardly be described as something "working". I'd bet you barely get a 1mbps on that, and a crazy jitter and packet loss.

Le bullshit

I am foreign, and I would like Americans to elect smarter people. I'll settle for less evil. Hell, at this point I'll settle for competent. So yes, I'm a foreign agent trying to influence American politics, that's the first thing you got right.

Although to be honest, at this point and for the next 3 years, I'm in the eat popcorn and look at the face eating leopards. Maybe with an "I told you so" thrown in.

Have the day you voted for!

The small communities are still there, you just don't visit them because you are on social media (like lemmy). Forums are still there. IRC is still there. Hell, even BBS and Usenet is still there if you really want to go that way.
