Ah, yeah, that’s a fair criticism. Thanks.

But hate speech is never good, is it?
Is that a thing?
Well, if you did it all the time they would consistently identify you.
A lot of people don’t seem to mind it, but to me it really tastes terrible. Even if I got it for free I wouldn’t drink it.
EVs still create a lot of co2 in production so I’d expect it would incentivize people to use and demand more efficient means of transportation. Trains, busses combined with incentives to do better city planning.
EVs aren’t silver bullets. Will still be cheaper to use an EV than a car running on gas.
- Tax carbon (and equivalents)
- give back all carbon tax to all citizens, equally
- Increase tax linearly over time, and let folks and business plan their transition predictably.
This will incentivize people to demand affordable transportation, transition to alternatives, get low income citizens a reason to not oppose increased cost of living. Big consumers have to pay, low consumers will pay a little but get more back.
Check out Citizens Climate Lobby.
I’d love it if most folks didn’t go 10-15kmph faster (which seems to be the standard where I live) than the speed limit, but I have no way of changing their behavior on my own. Me going the speed limit on principle might just make it even more dangerous for me and the rest who are speeding. It might be marginal but it adds up over time.
What is safer though? Driving the same speed as the cars around you or have all cars passing you at a higher speed? My guess is the former.
Everyone should get their personal tip app that we can show the person at the counter. “Would you like to give me some tip for buying your goods?”
If only you would have asked him if he thought his BMW would have been able to pass through.
Yeah, fair, definition can be hard. But to give an example that I think is pretty clear cut: people standing outside of a mosque/synagogue/church arguing that those [certain people] deserve to be dead or put in labor camp.
You could argue that those are just words, and be correct, but for the individuals that are targeted it’s not just words. They know for a fact that those words and ideologies do turn in to actions.
I think it’s easier to have to position that absolute free speech is the best solution if you are not part of a minority group who is the target of hate speech.
