Not in this life anyways

Bold of you to assume dodge can’t afford the 15¢ an hour they pay to some poor soul in bangledesh.

Ya. Nothing this guy said was shocking. People building mcmansions in beautiful disaster prone areas? Insurance companies have been trying to leave these markets for a while, because they can read the writing on the wall.

Disaster after disaster and we rebuild the same shit in the same place and then have the audacity to act shocked it all happened again. Not to mention building single family detached houses in endless suburbs is basically salting the earth.

We all need to have a good look inward and decide what we’re actually entitled to, or circumstance is gonna have a word with the fates. And we know what capricious callous bitches they are…

Such a sweet kitty! Looks ready to fuck up some decorations tho!

Welcome! Have a kitty pic!!

Despite the look on her face, the only trauma she suffered was having her blanket fort folded and tidied.

Basically that foreign aid often props up and legitimizes shit head dictators. Here’s a summary..

Edit: I just realized that was a paywall, sry. But they’re right in that pdf’s are easily found. It’s an interesting read, definitely recommend reading even if I don’t think it’s the most useful brush with which to paint

I have tried it. Learned a good chunk of a second language in fact. Nice of you to assume and imply I’m a xenophobic ignoramus tho. Appreciate that.

And if you’ll go back to my original comment I never actually advocated for a complete stop to travel, only that we slow down and exercise some moderation.

Not to mention we have internet and readily available books on just about any topic you care to name. Much different situation than even 50ys ago as far expanding your own horizons goes. I know it’s not the same as being there but still.

And I’m no more willing to burn the planet for your cultural horizons than the next guys fruity cocktail.

A lot of colonizer mindset happening in this area

I asked two simple and reasonable questions. Still waiting.

8% ain’t nothing. I’d say reckoning with our travel habits and what we feel entitled to is a fundamental part of any solution.

It was an example of propping up a destructive practice for the benefit economy. One meant to illustrate dollars on an account sheet isn’t enough to justify a morally dubious practice.

I asserted earlier that these places would be poorer for the effects of climate change. You blew right past that into name calling and and a feeble attempt at twisting my words to ridiculous lengths. Care to comment?

Or perhaps you could explain how your gracing these places with your presence, allowing yourself to be served hand and foot, is the only path forward for these economies? There are so many ways to support a region, to lend a hand and invest in their future.

It’s like saying we have to keep supporting Israel because we don’t want to lose weapons sales. Nice name calling though. Brilliant rhetoric, really put me in my place.

Keep flying, consuming conspicuously. Fuck everyone else. Every generation to come. Fuck the animals, fuck the earth. You got yours right?

So we should prop up an objectively destructive sector of the economy? They’ll all be a hell of a lot poorer when huge swaths of the earth becomes much harder to survive in. And I’m extremely skeptical anything of that 8% of Egypt’s tourism money trikles down in a way that anyone would call fair or equitable.

And I’m sorry, but I’m not willing to burn down the planet so you can sip fruity drinks under a palm tree. Perhaps if we had invested in a rail system that was worth a damn it would be a different story. But here we are.

I know this is an unpopular opinion, but maybe we should all cool it on the tourism. It’s terrible for the environment, mostly terrible for whomever was calling that place home. I know so many people that spout off about the environment and then think nothing of hopping on multiple flights per year.

If I were king everyone would get travel passes twice. Once in their 20s and again in their 60s.

Stay home, read a book, plant a garden.

Lancaster surprised the hell out of me. I went there for work expecting another Podunk pa town and was pleasantly surprised.

How big of a piece of shit do you have to be to fear your own people? The director of the FBI doesn’t have enough faith in the ability or willingness of his own agents?

Or is it he doesn’t want them knowing what he’s up to? Where he goes and who he talks to?

Fucking embarrassing…

Tankies on .ml

Welcome to the party! Can I offer you a cat pic in these trying times?
