  1.  @undeadblizzard  In a perfect world, I'd agree, but doesn't it suck to hand over your money to corrupt politicians that give subsidies and breaks to corporations that don't don't care about you? I'm tired of hearing about $100M-500M subsidies for football stadiums. Henry David Thoreau famously refused to pay his taxes because he did not believe in conscription. So when I'm trying to say is, it's more complicated than just providing education and fire services, which we all agree are important.

  3.  @Gigachad-mc5qz  I'm not saying you're wrong about public transport being more efficient. I am curious what emissions are being "exported"? Resources are definitely extracted from other countries (for batteries and sometimes the natural gas that runs the grid), but power generation is done relatively locally.
