So is your grandma a member of congress or equivalent for her country, a billionaire or a mega corporation?
She voted for the pro billionaire politicians and was a very good customer of those mega corporations.
Or maybe I posted this on me_irl because I feel like the grandma.
I guess those two persons symbolize the conflict between the young and old generations. As generation X, I would be in between. I do many things to save resources but I also know that I am still part of the problem. Every consumer is.
“Hmmmm, you want to better society yet you participate in society? Owned with facts and logic.”
No, that generation voted for conservative politicians who lead us directly to where we are now. I know the real blame lies with the politicians and capital class, but Reagan was elected in an absolute landslide - everyday boomers are not blameless.
More than 50% voted for Reagan, and older people vote more conservatively in general. I’m well aware that there were leftist people then (arguably more than nowadays), but as a generation they royally fucked us. That’s the point, and you’re acting like we’re calling out your grandma specifically lol.
You are right, I don't buy apple products, never go to McDonald's and avoid Amazon. That's pretty easy to do.
Our power contract is with local energy communities, they only invest in renewables.
Ah, but you didn't generate it yourself using nothing but sheep strapped to a generator wheel that you built by hand. Gotcha!
Yes
