McCarthy was mostly right in his accusations, though. He is mocked because the commies did actually take over the us government.

Httpd is my favorite. So many features and flexibility make it highly satisfying.

Yeah you're right, it's not exclusively just this one thing. They're trying to hide push back on a lot of cultural hotpoints.

The companies who make today's lengthy and expensive cancer treatments, are also making the mass-marketed personal care products that have carcinogens inside of them.

Lol did you not see the revelations about what was going on inside of Ventavia, the contractor that did the trial research for pfizer?

They broke all sorts of protocols, covered it up, had it reported to the FDA, who in turn just sat on it.

> I'm not sure why you are lumping those two modes of transport together.

I think you misunderstand - "commercial flight" is referring to flying on one of the large carriers instead of privately. Both of those modes of transportation move large groups of people, together. Many people, one trip. Rail is available in Europe, but not in the US.

> Perhaps the reason it is not high on people's lists of things to fix, though, is that "the aviation industry only contributes around 2% of global CO2 emissions, with private air travel representing an even smaller fraction."

They are saying this is an "emergency" though. Is it a good idea to fly any plane during a climate emergency that will purportedly starve all of us? Why aren't these people concerned about starving themselves? This is an emergency and they aren't taking their own precautions seriously.

> As a result Apple missed out on the user-generated content wave, which was owned by YouTube and then TikTok. Apple already had some of the basic infrastructure in place with podcasting, but a middle aged outlook meant it missed the (mildly but interestingly) anarchic possibilities.

Agreed. Apple had the ENTIRE digital hub strategy nailed, with fantastic tools.

> Or perhaps it's necessary to get things done.

Since when did commercial flight or rail stop being a way to transport people? Oh, right, it's not an option for the elite class because... reasons. They could do all of this without having several dozen private jets flying to the same places.

> It's a blame shifting mechanism

It's NOT a blame shifting mechanism, or at least that's not how I'm using it. What I'm saying is that your privileges are being revoked for transportation, theirs are not. You are being shamed for taking a commercial flight, but they are not, even when using private jets.

Finally, consider the rhetoric they are pushing. They are saying that this is an "emergency," meanwhile they are observably NOT acting like it's an emergency. This is a classic case of "they've got theirs," and it's clear that they don't plan on making any sacrifices that result in a lower standard of living for themselves.

Sure, and they could fly first class on commercial to get to that meeting. But they have egos and don't think restrictions apply to them - but ohh this is an "emergency," isn't it?? I thought we were having all hands on deck to stop climate change, right? We're all going to starve and die.

All for one and one for - nah, never mind gas up my second leer jet, Jeeves!

Discerning Americans think that gulf stream environmentalists flying to conferences in private jets is hypocritical, and that if they actually cared about this issue and it was a serious threat, then they would behave like it (and quit trying to rip up the crust of the earth to mine lithium with child labor as if it was the only solution to this problem).

Instead, this is just GRIFT to pull taxes from public funds into the pockets of plutocrats (hey where is greta this whole scheme sounds like capitalism again) while telling you that YOU need to live with restrictions that the upper class won't be policed on, like the good subject you are.
