#try discernment

been trying to discern if I'm getting feedback about Real and Valid Concern experienced by a marginalized group of people.

or if this person has a very particular Pet Peeve - which they have packaged as An Abuse.

I got something wrong and have been made An Example Of by a BNF.

"There’s a clear argument to be made that the greenest vehicle is the one you don’t buy. According to one Reuters study, you need to drive 25,000 to 30,000 kilometres — about a half dozen laps around the province — before the emissions saved by your new EV outstrip the emissions from manufacturing it."

this is important ^^^

my little compact 2008 Hyundai 3 door?

a much more environmentally friendly option than buying a new EV.

because it already exists. AND does not contain a specialized battery requiring Rare Earth Minerals- which poison the miners and the environment during extraction.

if you have an older economic car- in GOOD running condition. KEEP it. buying a new one is NOT better for the environment.

the price of gas is concerning because it's artificial and fraudulent- but I'll pay the real cost of using up the existing fossil fuels
