what % are ALL the private jets CO2?

like yeah its a thing, but seems like another distraction thats trying to use classism as lazy support
I hope nobody is being classist against private jet owners! That’s just like being racist. You can tell, because they both end in “ist”. The word “classist” is almost exclusively used to refer to predjudice against the poor, just like how “racist” is used with regard to people prejudiced against non-whites. Using these words to refer to the rich or whites, respectively, is either extremely disingenuous or extremely stupid.

But seriously, of course billionaires’ CO2 output is going to tiny compared to the vast throngs of the world’s common people. It’s still orders of magnitudes more than the average person, however. Not only that, but our entire global socioeconomic system is hurtling human civilization off a cliff just to stroke their egos. Their influence is the primary reason why nothing substantial is being done about the collapse of the biosphere where we all live.

Owing to the Sources Cited: Meth, I have no idea even what "they put a human vaccine in a lettuce" even means.

I assume it's similar to what British-American Tobacco were working on with modifying the tobacco mosaic virus to create proteins for the vaccine, then spraying that on a tobacco plant and the virus multiplies making trillions of times more, which can be then extracted and made into vaccines. Finally putting all those decades and billions of dollars of research to something other than "sell more cigarettes".

So I imagine it's something similar to that but with a lettuce, which would then be destroyed to gather the material, rather than whatever they imagine which is someone injecting random lettuces with the flu shot and then putting them on shelves.

I remember from some kids' magazine back in the 90s, I think maybe Disney Adventures, that they were talking even then about engineering vaccine production into food plants so the vaccines could be produced, preserved, and delivered way more easily. Just have a kid eat a banana! And that sounded incredibly cool, it was very positive coverage at the time in that magazine. So the idea of literal vaccine foods has been hanging around for a while. Too bad we've got all this *waves hands wildly* about everything now.

I mean I guess we've always had it but it's just more and dumber, always.

They've had the polio vaccine on a sugar cube since the 60s, so yeah the idea has been out there for a while that this is a good way to give vaccines to kids where possible.

It's still in a clinic though, so while one day we might have bananas as a delivery route, I really doubt they're just going to be out in the produce aisle.

Yeah but that was back then when vaccines were healthy, now that they're poisonous and only used to kill Americans it's a bad thing.

wasnt the sugar vac less effect than the injection?(but also easy to transport into rural areas with no cooling)

There's two main polio vaccinations that I know of, the oral vaccine that doesn't need to be refrigerated and uses attenuated live virus, and the injectable one that needs to be refrigerated but has completely killed viral particles.

The main downside to the former is there's a small but non-zero risk of the attenuated live virus reverting/mutating to a pathological form, which actually happens occasionally and resulted in a small outbreak (n=4) in Indonesia in recent years

Things could be going better

Not to hand it to the holocaust denier, but in WW2 the white Americans were so racist against black people that it caused serious military readiness issues due to needing multiple of every structure to maintain racial segregation even inside England while Operation Overlord was in full swing, so I won't say he is wrong.

You could have told them a black man was president at some point and they would have just sunk their own boats.

I was anticipating that the Super Heebster was going to be some horrendously racist take on a traditional Jewish deli sandwich, so the Chik-Fil-A ending was kind of a letdown.

Glad this person was class conscious enough to think about the optics of food expense while totally forgetting all other social issues.

That's where my mind went with 'Super Heebster', but the place was originally founded by Polish Jews. Could easily be that it was then taken over and decided to capitalize on that without concern for the optics though.

Recently I took a friend with only a high school degree to lunch. Insensitively, I led her into a gourmet sandwich shop. Suddenly I saw her face freeze up as she was confronted with sandwiches named “Padrino” and “Pomodoro” and ingredients like soppressata, capicollo and a striata baguette. I quickly asked her if she wanted to go somewhere else and she anxiously nodded yes and we ate Mexican.

Freaking chain sub places offer capicola. Most of those ingredients are going to be available at supermarket delis, never mind fancy sandwich shops, and people certainly know the word "baguette" without higher education. David Brooks just sounds like a dumb classist prick who doesn't realize he tried to dump a giant expense for a sandwich on a poorer "friend."
