If one paycheck is all that stands between half of the people and homelessness, can it really be called the "middle" class?

The world's leaders looked at history, and instead of saying "we won't make these mistakes again", they said "we can do it better".

Forced upgrades (or downgrades) really are the worst. Same for opt-out services instead of opt-in. Give choice back to the customer goddammit!

It's always nice to see some good news in the shitshow that is modern day life, makes me hopeful that a better future is still possible. I hope that one day Beijing (and the rest of the world) can go back to clean air 365 days a year.

Like all countries, there's some good and bad things to say, but I think that investing in renewables was a very smart move on their part.

Losing your house is great for reconnecting with nature I guess

The best thing about caving is that you don't have to do it. Still, sucks for the guy, his family and his friends.

Might seem dull some people, but I think you did a good job for the community.

So, just science being science then? Disagreements have always been a part of science, and always will be. The only important factor is how they are handled. Think a study is flawed? Repeat it, and change the flaws to see if the results differ significantly. But openly discrediting any evidence (for or against a case) without testing is as unscientific as it gets. I believe the person at the end also has a point: yeah, we don't know if microplastics are as bad as they say, but better safe than sorry.

I'd imagine the amount of road particles ripped up is less than the amount of CO2, NOx, ozone and other pollutants and fine particles emitted by combustion engines, but I'm no expert. Only time will tell, but at least short-term the results seem positive.

I remember when my car didn't have a giant ipad that tries to talk to me, miss it too.

I knew a guy named Michael back in high school. He did in fact not stand up when the teacher called another student's name. He also never stood up when the teachers asked him too, because Michael was in a fucking wheelchair.

There's more than just CO2 coming from combustion engines though, like nitrogen and sulfur containing compounds, which can in turn cause secondary pollution. Cumulatively, I think those pollutants have a bigger effect on human health than the road particles. Also, these road particles still get ripped up by regular cars, even if it's to a lesser extent. So overall I'm still convinced that EVs are a step in the right direction. We can't know for sure until more studies are performed.

Critics highlight concerns about freedom of speech and the potential for companies to face restrictions in promoting or competing with their products, even more sustainable ones.

Want to compete with more sustainable companies? Become more sustainable yourself, simple as.

Nice idea for a community! Was getting kinda tired of all the orange man stuff.

As for the comic, can't relate because I'm not a comic artist, but I do have to admit that lack of skills holds me back from time to time. Or just fear of people judging my shit.
