The new climate denial? Using wealth to insulate yourself from discomfort and change

This is good news, it shows the laws of nature do apply to humans and scientists like James Hansen etal were right and Physics as we know it applies

but we've chosen to ignore it and it'll get worse and perhaps this answers Fermi's Paradox?

Humanity is the problem (for most humans and for most species) , climate change is the solution, we're literally killing species off so fast it's labeled the sixth mass extinction.

For a country that has been run by businessmen for the past 20 years we sure seem to have an awful lack of long-term vision.

Well thats why, why would they ? why would voters elect them

were in the sixth. mass. extinction ...and we're doing it and most of us don't give a shit, quite bizzare really

not really, much more like Usenet.

I'll never understated why they don't go open source.

sure but you don't have tomatoes all year, only a short time, even if you bottle some.

Being self reliant is mostly impossible if you cant also hunt and forage No ones growing their own wheat for example to make their own bread, let alone collecting the salt they need as well.

we lived off grid for a decade with a massive garden, chickens, ducks, heaps of fruit trees, made our own compost etc

also can be a pain, Toyota doesn't have connected services, so you need to take your car into Toyota Australia for a recent recall software update, manufacturers with connected services just do an OTA update.

As an Australian I couldn't give a shit about China spying on me, I do care if my own country spies on me. I own a BYD

In Europe we are spoiled with choice

Even more so in Australia, as we have zero tariffs, as the new EU trade agreement removed the small tarrif that was on EI cars, none on Chinese cars.

I have a BYD and charge off solar panels on my roof

that's not really true there's no struggles normally with an OS like Linux Mint.

Selecting a username and password is within most peoples grasp. Click an icon on the dock and you're away

The struggle is the apps for most people, where's Chrome? (when FF is right there on the dock), where's Photoshop etc etc

why ? is it illegal ? what standings could they possibly have ?
