All the anti degrowth stuff makes me laugh because they're like "you won't be able to have these things!!" You know what would solve both problems? If poo poo wasn't built as cheaply as possible and to collapse the day after the legally mandated warranty ends, then you could buy an ac and have it be functional for like 80+ years

that only looks _slightly_ smaller than the condo we're spending 2360/mo (would be 3100 by now if we didn't have rent control) for in the far suburbs of the greater toronto area

It's pretty funny that the average new car payment in the US is $725/mo right now, and the idea of trying to be less dependent on the automobile is just completely unthinkable in 2023. In the 2008 gas price crisis people got out of trucks and SUVs and got into Corollas and other economical cars and now the economical cars don't even exist. We're hurtling towards a horizon where the automobile is beyond the reach of the average American worker and we're doing less than nothing to prepare for that. lol

Over the years, it would completely change the meaning and accuracy of every article but in a non-obvious way and sabotage the entire educational system. I told him to not be a James Bond villain but don't think he listened. With ChatGPT less functional maybe it'll be easier to tell when it's spitting out bullshit.
