If by green energy you mean that your neighbors will be green with envy when they see you in your energetic new ford F150 Extended Ultra Cab Shortbed Pickup Truck then it's truly limitless and you can have one for a low monthly payment of $865

the sun delivers years worth of energy every day the question is how much of the earth will you mine and bulldoze to capture it?

“Nobody has water to sell right now,” he said.

Those who do are not selling it cheap.

“I cringe when I say this,” Brewer told the City Council on Aug. 4, as he reported that water that normally cost the city $190 per acre-foot was being sold on the open market for as much as $2,500 per acre-foot. The city might need up to $2.5 million to buy enough water to last the year, he said. The city’s entire budget is $10 million.

“We just don’t have $2.5 million to buy water,” City Council member Adam Adkisson said in an interview, calling the water prices “criminal.”

Freedom loving Americans, simply not satisfied with 3 branches of government (which they all hate and believe are fundamentally corrupt), have in their usual decadence made a 4th, the HOA.

So now someone can come around with a ruler and fine you if the grass got too long, or if the grass died due to natural causes or due to a (good) policy from the 3 real branches.

I wonder when the covert sulfur injections will begin. they probably won’t make it public for a while, until one country gets pissed that another one’s loving up their rain

cools the earth a few degrees and only costs a few billion per year. cheap enough for even small nations or individual billionaires to finance :nsa:

downsides: unknown (probably bad effects on rain patterns), if you ever stop doing it the earths temperature rockets back up very quickly

Who cares about their own survival? Having kids sucks because you gave them a life you knew would be ruined

Like if you think there's no hope for you in your twenties or thirties then what is there for someone being born past twenty loving twenty

i am speaking from a purely selfish standpoint here. giving your life meaning by having kids and failing to raise them properly is a popular, tried-and-true choice that will fill your remaining decades with engaging content

I got fired from my job as a pool cleaner because I was too shy to talk to female customers and my loving deadbeat 9 year old won't pay his share of the rent even though he's had a better job than me for the past year. What's even the point of him being a child soldier if he's just going to use the money to buy fortnite skins? The gently caress does he even play fortnite for, I don't play pool cleaning simulator like loving hell I don't understand generation Ω
