  I hope big oil is paying you well for propagating their “personal carbon-footprint”-narrative.

  What do do you say? They don’t even pay you? … Then why are you doing it?

    Because I don’t trust anybody who tells me things I wanna hear like “you bear no responsibility; it’s somebody else’s fault”.

    Oil companies couldn’t sell if nobody was buying. The idea that the world can be fixed and I won’t need to sacrifice a thing is a little too good to be true.

  If you can spot me $30,000 I’ll get an electric car today

    30,000? A domestically manufacturered, highway-capable EV is 10,000 USD here in vn and even cheaper over in China.

    Who do you think is responsible for your inability to buy reasonably priced evs?

    Just do what you can, when you can. It’s all any of us can do.

      Oh, the old “it’s the consumers responsibility” fallacy.

      Nothing will change if it isn’t forced, or if electric cars get cheaper.

    First, I have to get a new range hood, repair my foundation drain, regrade my yard, and earn a spare 30k after that.

      I think I’d get close to $5 if I traded in my current car, if that helps

    Whatcha gonna drive it on? The streets and roads are a major source of CO₂ by themselves.

      If someone can spot me $300 million, I’ll get functional public transit going in my city instead.

      In the meantime, my options are drive a car, or be unemployed.

        You’d also have to deal with all of the residents who pitch a screaming fit any time anybody suggests maybe possibly removing a parking space. Unfortunately, it’s a whole, self-reinforcing system, not just the fault of a few corporations.

      I’d argue not having to burn your fuel is already a great improvement
