<p>> probably increasing their carbon footprint at the manufacturing level<p>This is auto consumers carbon footprint; not just you but you too.<p>There is little value to physical reality segmenting rhetorically between "rich and poor" or "consumers and businesses". The carbon footprint is due to human activity full stop.<p>Trying to live in rhetorical bubbles is trying to maintain social moats; stick to the script and you're off the hook!<p>Politically correct weasel wordy terms you like to deploy are just evidence the propaganda worked on you; letting yourself off the hook for your existence as if Jesus paid for your sins<p>A number of wannabe intelligent people who stick to the script and ignore the externalities of their own existence are disingenuous and self aggrandizing tools.<p>So sick of social media tools wasting resources spreading their self absorbed rage bait about idiots in government; random idiots themselves with pseudonyms and no reason to believe they give a crap really (look at reality itself lately; why believe the shit people say?)<p>Log off and let the open web joke die. Tech scene adjacent people are just turning into little more than religiously dogmatic old Boomers; can't move on.</p>

<p>> The first issue with this is that the gap between the uninsured and insured is not necessarily due to the lack of insurance. It could be due to factors associated with not having insurance, like living on the streets, being schizophrenic, being poor, and so on.<p>Made up perspective to justify his angle.<p>Not having healthcare access for a lot of people is 100% a policy choice. Waved off here by a list that really says why we should have universal healthcare; some people are mental and not aware they could have access without the stupid policy decision.<p>Just strings together sentences to ultimately make a reductive point about arithmetic and their own literacy.<p>Despite Yale's issues they're still a better source than random blogger with high school math literacy.</p>
