<p>Did a bit of searching: fizzy drinks companies sometimes go and get stored CO2 to put in drinks or make it.<p>Any atmospheric extraction has a net positive compared to that.</p>

<p>Covid proved this generalisation is not a truism.<p>USofA was probably the only place that actively resisted the global effort.<p>I think people do want a better world.
Greed is not universal.
Most countries that grow a middle class find most people prefer to stop work. I.e. there are not that many infinitely greedy humans. And they can be taxed.<p>Despite neocon economic theory, most people aren't selfish. And those that are, are often happily rewarded with a plaque in their honor or a medal.<p>Just look at the length Trump goes to for an award.</p>

<p>The is one trick that doesn't require political will. If you can make the microeconomics work it can be made to scale it self.<p>E.G. Make CO2 extraction so cheap it's worth everyone doing it and say, make a market to sell the CO2 to farmers. Then make burying inedible bits of plants so cheap it's done on a large scale.<p>Then you just wait. Microeconomics takes over.<p>They did this with plastic clean up. By building a machine that makes plastic into fuel & construction pellets. Then stuck such a machine on a plastic poluted island and waited.<p>For this trick. All you require from your políticans is that they don't lie or bomb the place.</p>

<p>I think OPs point is this tech is good only if you sink it after.<p>I. e. Collection is half the problem.<p>Collecting it in a way it's cheap to get it back again is potentially just less than minus half the problem.</p>

<p>Bit harsh.<p>That was probably a node / npm thing, because they had no stdlib it was quite common to have many small libraries.<p>I consider it an absolute golden rule for coding to not write unnecessary code & don't write collections.<p>I still see a lot of C that ought not to have been written.<p>I'm a grey beard, and don't fear for my job. But not relying on AI if it's faster to write, is as silly as refusing a correct autocomplete and typing it by hand. The bytes don't come out better</p>

<p>I don't understand how yous can be ignorant of this. In the USofA you get advertised at continuously by drug companies.<p>Do you really think they spend that money advertising, and that you can then not buy the products?!?<p>Sure, you need a corrupt doctor. But the amount of advertising tells you exactly the amount of corrupt doctors that can act as drug dealers for you.<p>If someone is advertising something at you, it's because you can get it and you are potential market.<p>Not rocket science.<p>Somehow the whole country has collective blindness to this fact that is scarily obvious to anyone from outside the USofA that drops by.<p>Drugs adverts for prescription drugs should be illegal: because there is no legal justification for them.</p>
