Shot "It doesn't require magic, " Chaser "Plastics, idk some kind of bioengineered plastic eating bacteria or something. " Do you think carbon capture is real too? Liberalism is having faith that tech will save us without understanding anything about the tech. Just a child's blind faith that anything is physically possible if we belief hard enough. That there are no real limits to physics.

quote:The Trudeau government’s carbon tax began at $20 per tonne in 2019 and will eventually rise to $170 per tonne by 2030. The current price of $40 a tonne adds about 8.8 cents a litre to gasoline, or about $3.50 more every time you fill you car with 40 litres of gasoline. this milquetoast commitment means an extra $37.40 per 40L of gasoline. people are going to freak the gently caress out and we're going to re-elect conservatives to repeal this within five years (lol. lmao.)

Actually that book was loving brilliant, too bad the follow up is supposed to be such trash I haven't dared yet.

I posted about this before but the Hillary Clinton poo poo in the sequel is loving unhinged. I definitely wish I hadn't read it lol, I wouldn't say it's ruined Gibson for me but yikes. I'm tempted to suggest hate reading it but meh I like Gibson too much, better to be ignorant. Same reason I refuse to see the new 3D Ghibli film. But agreed the weird plastic tribes in The Peripheral were dope.

been getting a lot of dune recommendations on yt recently and i timestamped the relevant bit in this interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LfPv1U7MpQ&t=175s "at some point we're going to have the bite the bullet and just say 'this will cost us'." and "i refuse to tell my grandchildren, sorry, there's no more world for you, we used it all up."

I do love how everyone is getting into Squid Game without seeing Squid Game. I saw two Tire Discounters on different sides of the city with marquees that read "can we bet on a winner for Squad Game?"

The Red Army conscripted 600,000 people to clean up the Chernobyl Disaster to stop the spread of radioactive contamination. The United States has 1,344 exposed toxic waste sites that haven't been cleaned up yet because it would cost too much.

And we know that the actual cost of carbon means a litre of gas should cost about $10, but people would just steal the gas if that happened with the current horrible state of public transit and walkability.
