So just to be clear here, are you saying that if I follow a person around as he goes about his day in the public sphere, then I am "actively stalking and harassing" and that is not to be allowed, but that if I set up an array of cameras which films that person as he goes about his day in the public sphere, then I am "passively filming" and that is entirely okay?

If these people were serious we'd see EV adaption in the double digits and be able to walk into any restaurant and get a vegetarian meal without having to double guess what may or may not be used to create it. We're not seeing that. We're not going to see that because environmentalism is only an issue when it comes down to politics and not lifestyle in the minds of these people. They want to weaponize environmentalisms as a political tool, not as a practical guide for end-user consumption.

Quantify this. What is this "impact" on people, and how are you measuring it?
You can do that, right? Because if you can't you're just another moron talking about how video games and rock lyrics and D&D are corrupting the minds of our youth.

"What is the point of having a job, when you can not live from the wage?"
Sometimes it's to buy textbooks, or make extra money on the side, or to earn money during the summer so you can spend it during the rest of the year.
It's myopic to assume that all jobs are supposed to be full-time careers.

I just want to be clear about this: you believe the American middle class is smaller/worse-off than it was in the early 1900s?

Another person who needs to read Bastiat.
Do you think it would help the middle class to bring back the requirement for people to walk in front of cars waving a lantern?

If only we had technology that would allow us to breed crops that could eradicate micronutrient deficiency and prevent its resultant illnesses and deaths.
Oh, wait, we do, but neo-Luddies who want everyone to live in a state of impoverishment and suffering don't want us to use it.
