I meant âoeso many live like they give no shits at allâ. I ride a bicycle instead of a car whenever I can. I attempt to minimize wasteful energy use. But Iâ(TM)m not willing to worry a whole lot about it while our ruling class jet set around the world enjoying conferences for addressing climate change while in reality they are the worst offenders of all.

Short of a major catastrophe that wipes out at least half of the human population suddenly, this will not slow down. Despite my inability to believe that we have ever managed to actually accurately measure the temperature of the planet, I do believe that human behaviors have caused the climate to warm. Short of a technological miracle far larger than electric vehicles and dreadful vegetarian diets, there is no changing the direction that this is heading. I for one have no intention of changing my own behaviors until the wealthiest humans on earth lead by example and that will not happen any tine soon. So be it.

I admire everyone who stands up to these Silicon Valley snake oil salesmen who give no shits about humanity, but eventually they will win and people will sell to them. Humanity would be better off if those companies all halted and shut their existing data centers down.

Lie how? The vaccinations did not end the pandemic, the less severe strains of the virus did. The vaccinations might have made infections from early strains less severe, that is debatable. COVID is not severe today and the vaccination is pointless unless you hold a lot of pharmaceutical stock.

The only way the vaccination helps the elderly is if the vaccinated do not catch the disease and therefore do not expose them to it. Obviously, that was not the case with the COVID vaccination because it did not prevent catching the disease. I personally am fully vaccinated and still caught it (of course). I personally assume my immunity was helped more by catching it and recovering than from the vaccinations I received prior to having COVID. The best way to avoid giving the disease to the most at risk is to not expose them to it after you have it.
