I know we don't see eye to eye on much. and i'll get put on the pitchfork as well. but I agree with you.

I hate these pseudo moralistic stances people take

I do care, but honestly sin is around every corner, what can I do to stop it. eliminating plastic bags aint gunna save the world, nor is paper straws, just as sugar tax aint making kids less fat in philly. all just smoke and mirrors. Its when people become accountable is when real change happens.

dont want to derail the thread. still like my m3 over a TSLA.

this thread can't have any conclusions, there isn't enough data and cause and effect hasn't been seen. infact this is the fucking guy we have all been roasting for 20 pages because he keeps saying all electric by 2035, yet now he doesn't care about the kids and the future.

this is how ass backwards most conversations get nowadays and its just so fucking funny to watch it all unfold.

we have come to such an extremist point in society where we don't even know why we hate or disagree with people

Hey guys! Just read on another thread, from a news reel, that Germany and Italy are considering blocking the EU's proposal to ban the sale of gas cars because it would-be-unworkable to do that.
Opinions please.

How's it stupid?

You got morals, are you rich? Nope.

99.9% of billionaires have no morals, or we wouldn't have price gouging economy.

You don't get rich based on hard work buddy.

I don’t have any issue with anyone here lol. Not like I hate any of you.

I just think it’s funny how some people get mad at some of the stuff discussed yet get offended when someone fires back lol.

That’s not me I don’t give a fuck. If I believe in something I’ll say it. No one changes my mind lmaooo

That’s awesome. I hope every company makes money. Isn’t that what business is about? Making money? I’m confused as to why you’d be upset or find fault with businesses that were created to make money that actually are profitable. Hey perhaps no one ever told you this, but did you know that actual human beings who are earning a living for themselves and their families work for all those companies you just listed? Now you know.

Did you know that companies saying "Inflation is bad, we're suffering from it too" to the people, and then posting record profits after isn't good?

And who says the workers and their families make a living? The company makes record profits, but the bonuses only go to the CEOs and their shareholders

Being angry they make profit isn't the issue, making RECORD profits when they complain that "inflation is affecting us" is.

If you have so much, as a television set or coffee machine in your house or drive a car or have even the smallest of investments, including a 401(k), you’re a hypocrite and I have zero interest in holding any more discussions about this with you. You complain and worse you condemn the very companies that provide products and services that bring your life to a level of comfort unprecedented in the history of mankind. Your argument is patently absurd, and anyone over the age of 22 years old with the smallest amount of education realizes just how embarrassing your arguments are. Now stop and I’ll have mercy on you.

The worst part is, I would bet half my wealth that it was just one teacher or professor that put all this rubbish in your brain. I bet the other half of my wealth it wasn’t your parents.

Well, the issue is I'm mostly pointing at the oil/gas companies, and groceries.

For example, cheese went from 3$ to 8$, and meat (specifically chicken) quadrupled in price.


Plus you US guys don't pay a carbon tax on gas like we do, which is having companies pass down the cost of transporting everything to their consumers.

People are already having issues here.

Our winters kill the range of EVs, you have slow charging, and Tesla's have issues with door opening due to ice (tesla issue tbh)

Hybrids is the future.

Prepare to buy a Prius.
