Well pardon my for trying! FFS.

I already said that no matter what I do, it's pretty much useless if governments and large corporation don't do what they need to. But I do a little. What little I can.

Berating someone for doing something (like while you do nothing at all) really is just idiotic, moronic, and petulant. The world would be better off with people like you jumping off the nearest cliff. At least your body would feed the wildlife.

is undercutting your competition "irrational"? If anything it's exactly what a free capitalist market is all about. They've had, in many places, a monopoly for many years, and that kept their prices high. So fuck them. Here in the EU we don't get ISP or mobile phone contacts as high as you guys (or with hidden/unadvertised costs). It's about time you got more value for your money. If Comcast can't compete, let them die.

Electric bikes exists. And the grid can be made to be green.

But have you been incentivised to buy an electric bike? Have the manufacturers brought out an electric bike that suits your needs? One that can truly replace the bike you obviously love?

And how green has the grid gotten? Not as green as it could be, although it's slowly getting there in many countries. Putting a halt on projects to make it greener, and in some cases reversing that, though... smh.

There is only so much an individual can do. The main changes are at government and large corporation levels. Us individuals have our hands tied, for the most part.

I have solar panels. I drive a PHEV (mainly as an EV). Part of my pay cheque goes towards planting trees and mangroves in Africa to offset carbon usage. But none of that matters compared to the output of corporations and countries as whole. I can be as green as I like and the benefit to anything is miniscule.

This isn't the fault of us little people. This is the fault of the greedy, and the incompetent, and the deniers "at the top"-- you know, the fuckwits who know they can fix this but don't.
