Voluntary funding the way we do everything else. Mutual aid societies (which were killed by govt policy). Insurance cooperatives (also completely distorted by govt). I don't see any reason why we couldn't have voluntary police stations work the same as voluntary fire departments work, my local voluntary fire department works just fine. And having more people on call to provide security with some sort of uber/ride share like coordination should be a fairly easy thing to figure out given all the network tech available today.

Road building & repair could be crowd funded or could still be paid for largely by some amount added to the price of gas if people are willing to pay it. People already buy all sorts of products that contribute a % to different causes. Businesses will often build roads that serve their needs & if they can do so & capture good will from the community in the process they will. In any case, it will all be far cheaper without govt inflation & an army of bureaucrats to pay in the process.

Words and phrases are more important than most people realize. Many of today’s debates come down to the words we use to frame differing positions, often times ceding ground unintentionally. Erroneous translations and definitions were at least a large factor (if not the biggest factor) in the Great Schism!

Fruit evolved to be eaten in order to spread seeds. Eating them usually does not harm the plant.

Eating vegetables usually kills the plant, so they have an evolutionary incentive to discourage us from eating them (toxins). We have lost the ability to digest cellulose like our primate ancestors could, so we’re able to realize very little nutritional value in most vegetables (and we’re breeding them for looks instead of that nutritional value)

What? Eggs and bacon are definitely better breakfast, but oatmeal contains fiber and as far as I know anti-nutrients have also some healt benefits, for example they have been found to exactly to prevent sharp rises in blood sugar. Many anti-nutrients also have antioxidant and anticancer actions.

Idk man, you're still talking about a change in a GAS that currently makes up less than 0.04% of the atmosphere. It just seems ridiculous to think that has any appreciable impact on warmth. It seems to me, given the dramatic impact of moisture & water vapor on temps, combined with the effect that greater amounts of CO2 has on plants, CO2 could legitimately cause temps to be lower because plants with pores that don't have to open as much to breathe will lose less water to evaporation...?

I think to whatever degree there are problems it all tends to really center around the lack of permaculture in terms of farming practices, the increasing loss of topsoil, & what all of that does to moisture retention. And then the lack of stable moisture levels leads to greater temp swings & potentially increases the likelihood of fires & other issues. But CO2 just seems to have nothing to do with any of it. It's like they just paid someone to come up with some mildly plausible thing to justify communist policies based on the fact that CO2 lasers exist & to apply the idea in a way that really makes no sense ouside of the gas mixture in a laser tube. And the idea that the atmosphere can actually be managed based on controlling a gas of such tiny % is like peak hubris. It seems far more ridculous than trying to manage an economy & we know how well that works.

I think desertification & micro managment & killing more than we grow are really the major problems, & those are the only things that really put us at odds with the environment or the atmosphere or anything else. The environment created us. If we just figure out what makes more things grow & do more of that, then we are on the right track. And I think more CO2 means more plants, & more plants mean more animals, & more animals & plants together create more stable water cycles, & all of that means more food, which means better lives for all of us.

I just don't think CO2 can ever practically make up a significant enough % of the atmostphere to have any meaningful effect. I think it's literally all an excuse to sell the idea of spraying industrial waste into the skies & to advance authoritarian goals. CO2 levels have naturally been orders of magnitude higher in the past according to ice cores. And in any case, a warmer earth supports more life, not less.

But large corps have been pulling these environmental scams for decades. The hole in the ozone nonsense was an effort to get refrigerants with expiring patents banned so Dow (or which ever major chem corp it was) could be the exclusive seller of replacements. Flouride is costly waste so they convinced govts to spread it thinly into the water supply. Demonization of CO2 just gives the govt a new way to tax all production & all life, while corps get a new reason to spray out more things they can't easily dispose of.
