i’ll wager, from an armchair mind you, that this is because decrepeit Scrooges see it as a plus that the people from the regions most affected as “lesser people”, while also holding on to money and ensuring states militarize to defend that money from increasingly pissed of people.

so TLDR ig racist old dudes appreciating what fascism does for 'em.

this is just an armchair assessment fron me though. why is fossil fuel still being used?

    But a higher cost to produce at volume.

    If you mean corn ethanol it doesn’t have the same kick.

    We should just make everyone use hydrazine and let nature do its thing. 😆

      Corn ethanol isn’t really renewable either. It works better if made from sugarcane, but it’s still a big food-vs-fuel problem.

        That isn’t what I was referring to about nature though.

        Hydrazine exposure can cause skin irritation/contact dermatitis and burning, irritation to the eyes/nose/throat, nausea/vomiting, shortness of breath, pulmonary edema, headache, dizziness, central nervous system depression, lethargy, temporary blindness, seizures and coma. Exposure can also cause organ damage to the liver, kidneys and central nervous system.
