In general, one should not look at what happens in the USA and use it as a basis of reality for the rest of the world.
Weird ass country full of whackjobs who dedicate their entire lives into finding the worst possible solutions to problems nobody else but them have created for themselves.
That's the neat thing, the budget is balanced if you follow the study that the government ordered and chose to ignore because it didn't say the thing it wants it to say.
France's 80 years of nuclear waste takes about the space of an Olympic swimming pool and half.
In a millena, it'll be 150 swimming pools, and that's assuming we haven't found a way to repair/reuse/recycle it in 1000 years. Or not decided to just yeet it on the nearest inhospitable planet via railcannon or something.
Imagine thinking of population and living as efficiency first and not wellbeing.
City people are crazy lol.
Rabbit hutches are the most efficient way to keep rabbits. They piss and shit on themselves and on top of each other, live sad and miserable lives, and require synthetic food being directly delivered to them. Just like human cities :D
Also, the great thing about not living in a city is the fact you can grow your own food reducing the need for incredible amount of supporting land around you. I barely have to go to the grocery store or farmer's market for my vegetables.
Cities are sadness and misery factories, and some of the most polluted places humans have ever managed to create.
Most of the middle have always been just here to survive and have 0 impact on things outside of their immediate life. Was true back then, still true today.
local store turns off music radio and other noises on thursdays to help people with autism and other mental issues focus. It's actually eerily quiet but I enjoy it. It' super weird watching how people react too. Like couples talking to each others actually whisper and stuff instead of just talking loud. Even kids are behaving and stuff. Almost as if people like quiet :D
My brain still ends up being nothing but random static noises the moment I get in though.
I guess it also depends if you consider different lettuce/cabbage varieties as different plants. Which I guess is the point of the discussion! so fair. I also dind't really think about stuff like soy sauce and oils as plants but I guess they are
It's true you don't own a selfish acre of perfectly farmable land instead you only survive because someone else is feeding you factory farmed, pesticide flavored, expensive monoculture food from their own acres moved into the city by the truckload :D so much better for the planet I agree :D :D
