I've been noticing this more and more, there's an insistence that pointed economic or environmental criticisms of some consumption habit, usually almost exclusively partaken by the upper middle class and wealthier people, must actually secretly be a purely cultural critique. I'm sure these guys work for Exxon or some shit, lmao.

    I got it before the pandemic price hike. Older lady was finally selling her 1999 civic, below market at 2000. I haggled her down to 1500 because the suspension was garbage. I've had to replace the suspension but that was 300 bucks and mostly it runs great.

    I mean, good luck with that. But I see people struggling to sell the idea of basic wind electricity in a market where its basically free money.

    I mean, yeah, we're probably all going to die. It's just that like, if you don't want to die these are the kind of changes we have to make. If we're clear about that, we can be clear about our politics being a revolutionary project and not just a series of engineering and economics problems.
