America's richest 10% are responsible for 40% of its planet-heating pollution, new report finds (www.cnn.com)

America’s wealthiest people are also some of the world’s biggest polluters – not only because of their massive homes and private jets, but because of the fossil fuels generated by the companies they invest their money in.

TheMage ,

Facts. Good luck getting them to do anything about it. Nah, we’ll just stick it to the USA taxpayers and working classes. No more petrol cars, power equipment, gas stoves AC, etc. Oh, and you can’t own a single family home either with an acre of land. Nope. We can build a high rise apartment complex there instead. Anything else?

Climate change…. What a farce.

TheMage ,

Envy and jealousy will get you nowhere in life. Strive to do better. Maybe join the upper classes through hard work and sacrifice?

TheMage ,

The wealthy do pay a lot of taxes. How about cutting spending instead? Oh…THAT. Never seems to come up though.

Curious also: are you really going to eat rich people? For dinner? Then what? Keep eating your way down until you reach the middle class? Envy and jealousy are a burden, my friend.

TheMage ,

Me go back to Reddit? Whoa. Reddit is polluted with left wing crazies. No thanks.

Yes, blue states are cesspools of humanity. San Francisco has been destroyed by your precious left wing politics. Stores are leaving , chaining up products, etc. all because a certain faction of society just can’t figure out how to get it right and live like you’re supposed to. Im not a big fan of pickup trucks myself. Not sure where you got that from. But petrol cars must remain available as the electric wet dream of the greenies isn’t going to work and they know it. How’s the slave labor driven lithium mining going for those precious batteries? Uh oh!

Communism sucks. We all know what it is. Are you really still one of those people trying to sell that turd? Show me where communism has worked… provide a link. LOL.

TheMage ,

Hmmm. Reddit is way more left leaning and it’s is the center or center right people that get banned there. But, oh well.

Our Podunk town is quiet, friendly and doing quite well. We don’t want more people to come here, thanks. You act like that’s a problem. Amazingly, people like open spaces, limited noise, no WalMarts, etc. We even own an acre of land! Wow. Imagine that? But, please do insult us as your kind excels at. There are numerous blue cities that are in serious trouble. But, please ignore it. People and legit businesses are fleeing such places. Criminals are coddled, the police are hated, etc. OK then, enjoy the Wild West. This is what you wanted. Maybe you can personally house a few migrants and homeless dudes? Be part of the solution, right?

Communism is a guaranteed way for everyone to end up miserable. Just take a look through history. It isn’t hard to decipher why it’s unpopular.

TheMage ,

I must have joined the wrong one. You’re right. I can tell by the posts. I assume Lemmy has a “normal” version? Ill find it. Thanks.

TheMage ,

Yeah, no. No one is buying into this crap anymore. We got fleeced once. Not again.

TheMage ,

I mean about Covid in general. Turned out to be mostly a sham.

TheMage ,

I know. As soon as you question the “agenda” at all you get attacked by the usual suspects. Whatever. It’s clear that when people get mad an insult you that you’ve struck a nerve. They can’t handle it.

TheMage ,

Wow - finishes up with the usual insults. Relax, bruh. What exactly is “gender affirming care” anyways? Cutting genitals off of young boys/girls who might be simply confused or following the latest trend? They cant vote, drive after 9pm, buy a gun, get a tattoo, etc. until they are 18 but you and your kind are fine with hacking them up much younger than that. Pretty sick, sorry.

TheMage ,

Define gender affirming care, please. Does it involve a scalpel? If so - sorry, thats sickening and should be illegal. Must be 18 and have given full consent. Doesnt matter what some gender doctor says either - as if they arent on the payroll here too? C’mon.

TheMage ,

Plenty of friends as is, thanks. This all sounds good on paper until you read about horror stories and how quote a few people that fell for this regret it, big time. This gender “thing” has exploded over the last 4-5 years. Are you really certain that there isnt a LOT of “hey, me too” going on with this? There are just magically all these gender-confused people suddenly? A lot of people are having trouble buying into that idea. We all know that there are legit cases of true hermies and other statistical outliers. But this gender thing is dominating like everything now. Its the 2020’s version of a counter culture. Homo-sexuality was mostly accepted, so now people have to move onto the “next thing”, it seems since being gay isnt controversial enough.

As for compassionate care - yeah, fine. But to me, that should start with why they feel the way they do. How did a boy feel as if hes a girl? Same for the opposite. lets get to the root cause of this which to me is what needs to be addressed & managed. Id rather see these people helped to regain their biological identity so they can live a normal life. That seems more compassionate to me.

TheMage ,

Sorry we disagree. At least you’re being mostly civil about it. Being in public just minding your own business and putting on a drag show are not the same thing and you know that. Being accepted and parading around flamboyantly are also different. I’d say most people are against discrimination when it comes to basic rights. Like, job offers, school admissions, etc. But, that doesn’t translate to pushing propaganda or overdoing it. There is a line here that’s reasonable.

Take care.

TheMage ,

Punished for what? Throwing money and military support towards everyone when they need it? Oh, that. Right. As always, hating the USA is what the cool kids do these days. Until they need taxpayer money or military support. I’d love to see us cut off every ounce of support we give to other nations and see how that works out.

TheMage ,

Now we’re up to $900 per US household for this Ukraine stuff. Let’s throw a few more bucks at it to buy flags. Great use of taxpayer dollars. Sure, Jan.

TheMage ,

The fourth category should be: none of the above.

TheMage ,

I can’t wait for the suckers that inject this garbage into their bodies to try and justify it. You better go lock down again and hide under your mattress. Another head cold is coming…… 😆 .

They gonna parade Tony Fauci out there again? Maybe he can suggest we only have 4 people over for gatherings this time? Covid isn’t a big seller anymore. Just stop.

TheMage ,

None at all in my upstate, NY area. We ditched them a long time ago. They are useless anyways. There is no pandemic and really wasn’t one ever. We all got fleeced. Never again.

TheMage ,

Not at all. The state has a budget surplus and has a very friendly business environment. Those are facts. Also, shooting drug smugglers is the right call. What part of this is the problem?

TheMage ,

Wrong - it means too much tax has been collected and it should be returned to the people that earned it. I wish my state would have a surplus instead of massive deficits all the time but thats whet democrats do.

TheMage ,

He can blame himself and his bad economic policies. Pretty simple. Who cares about China anyway?

TheMage ,

More money being pissed away on Ukraine? Wow. That Zalensky guy must have photos of a naked Biden with some White House aide or whatever. This is a joke and a massive abuse of US taxpayer money. When does this end? How is the US benefitting from this? Oh, we aren’t at all. Hmmm. I wonder if there is something behind the scenes going on here? Like some other motive? I mean, it’s the Biden’s…… sort of a shady track record.

And don’t gimme a bunch of whataboutisms either. Don’t care. This Ukraine thing is a farce. Enough. We’re done.

TheMage ,

Geesh. Ain’t that the truth?

TheMage ,

Right, because there isn’t possibly any other motives here or objectives. Like the circus guys said: There’s. Sucker born every minute.

TheMage ,

When you stop watching The View, MSNBC & The Rachel Madcow show, Ill consider dumping Fox News. :).

TheMage ,

My end? Did we make some sort of pact? Please. Face it: everyone has their favorite sources for stuff and it’s always based on what they agree with. You’re not above this.

TheMage ,

Can’t disagree about the popular news networks. I actually read a few headlines and articles from several, just to entertain myself. I know that they all have a slant. That being said, this Ukraine thing is getting ridiculous now. A gajillion dollars and counting. Where is it all going? Anyone tracking it? Are we SURE golden boy Biden isn’t involved in some “cheesy” stuff here? His track record certainly supports it. What other nations are chipping in here? Or is it the usual: everyone hates the USA until they need money or military support. Hmmmm.

This Zalensky guy seems like a snake too. How rich is he now?

TheMage ,

Could not agree more. They over complicated weight loss and what you have to do so badly now. Keto, Shmeeto, No carb, All carb, fasting, starving, whatever. Just STOP. Exercise regularly & use like an 80/20 method where 80% of the time you eat quality, whole foods. Keep portions within reason. Splurge where applicable. Exercise often. There, DONE. And yes, you can even eat some sugar and it wont kill you, LOL.

TheMage ,

I was gonna say… where is this US denial narrative from? Just stop it.

TheMage ,

Every great nation has blood on its hands. The Japanese aren’t exactly Mother Theresa’s themselves. Oh and they shouldn’t have attacked us if they didn’t want to deal with the consequences. They had no problem killing or injuring thousands of our service men and women. Oh……THAT. Give it a rest.

TheMage ,

Anything is better than Reddit, IMO. Place is impossible to deal with and the bans are handed out arbitrarily…. But only if you don’t tow the decidedly left-leaning line. Users there are also more likely to be sissies as in running to the mods if you dare question them or cause them to need their crayons and safe space. You get the idea. I’m hoping this place is a little more balanced .

TheMage ,

LOL. Banned on reddit is a badge of honor. It means you tweaked the underpants of the purple-haired admins by NOT shlepping up the left wing diatribe. :)
