  2. Yes, you can and the YouTube algorithm will reward you, too! Anybody in the developed world who thinks that their standards of living came for "free" or even should is delusional. American farmers basically destroyed the ecosystems of half a continent just so we can have potatoes, bread and beef. That happened before cars and electricity were even a thing. Before that Europeans destroyed most of Europe and Asians destroyed most of Asia for the same reason.

  3. A guy who is farming in a dry desert is complaining about other guys mining with water in the same dry desert. What a joke.

  4. Yes, focusing on one minor environmental issue to deflect from much bigger ones (like carbon emissions) is absolute insanity. But lucrative.

  5. Only somebody who has no clue about urban planning will say that. Living and shopping close together is easy, but living and working in proximity is almost impossible, unless you want corporate worker camps and "owe your soul to the the company store" kind of labor relations. We did that in the 19th century and China is doing it, still. It's horrible.

  7. No one saw what coming? the FUD from the oil and gas industry about lithium extraction? Dude. It's been around longer than lithium extraction has been.
