    That’s the problem, only switching the transportation method isn’t enough, there’s a whole infrastructure behind that needs to be built.

    In most city centers you can kinda refurbish pre-existing systems, but in suburbs you need to build from scratch, and the distances are way bigger which imposes another challenge.

    Don’t get me wrong, im all for it, but we need to acknowledge these problems first.











  • Seems I’m getting downvoted. Just to be clear, I condemn war and armed conflicts, If i could make so, no guns would ever be fired.

    My point is, it’s pointless to argue about the “should be” or “could be”, I’m just stating the actual, current state of matters.

    There’s ALWAYS a winner, in fact, If a war started, someone is already winning, be It one of the involved parties, be It a guns supplier or a manufacturing plant making tanks.

    It’s naive to think that, people with power to decide what to do in a war, will prioritize a “good and moral war”, over getting what they want from It.

    Maybe you and I can’t see any advantage over an attack and label It stupid, but it is what it is, and maybe the actual intent is not clear to us.

    Anyways, war is bad, but don’t be naive.








  • I don’t think that’s the right perspective to have on this, a good action isn’t bad just because It wasn’t the best action possible.

    And the solution you brought upon, would still leave the first problem afloat, “great, we reduced plastic consumption, but who’s going to remove the plastic that is already in there?”, It’s a paradox you see? If he chooses option A, people will burn him at the stake because he didn’t choose option B.

    I was skeptical at first when I first got aware of him, then I did some research and there’s a ton of philanthropy there, lots of people got some help they needed.

    EVEN if it’s done with ulterior motives, the non changing fact is that people indeed were helped.

    Whichever motives he has behind his persona, he has helped more people than most could or would’ve helped in their entire lifetimes.
