You are not millenials. You are worse.To all the school kids who went on 'strike' for climate change...
You are the first generation who have required air-conditioning in every classroom. You want TV in every room and your classes are all computerised. You spend all day and night on electronic devices. More than ever, you don't walk or ride bikes to school but arrive in caravans of private cars that choke suburban roads and worsen rush hour traffic.
You are the biggest consumers of manufactured goods ever and replace perfectly good expensive luxury items to stay trendy. Your scooters and skateboards are increasingly... electric!
Furthermore, the people driving your protests are the same people who insist on artificially inflating the population growth through immigration which increases the need for energy, manufacturing and transport.
The more people we have, the more forest and bushland we clear and more of the environment is destroyed.
How about this... tell your teachers to switch off the air-con. Walk or ride to school. Switch off your devices and read a book. Make a sandwich instead of buying manufactured goods.
No, none of this will happen because you are uneducated, selfish, virtue signalling little turds inspired by the adults around you who crave a feeling of having a 'noble cause' while they indulge themselves in Western luxury and unprecedented quality of life.
Did you write this? because it is perfect and concisely written. Well, done!To all the school kids who went on 'strike' for climate change...

Cannot take credit for the words but it does reflect my thinking. Do not know who actually wrote it.Did you write this? because it is perfect and concisely written. Well, done!
I work in the Power Semiconductor Industry. I sell our products into numerous, big name EV and Charger manufacturers. I constantly see consumers view EV's as being powered "for free". They have no idea that the total energy expended/consumed for EV's, cradle to grave, is much higher that that of an ICE vehicle. As far as charging, they completely fail to understand that the electricity that is utilized for charging their "green" vehicles comes from hydro, nuclear or fossil fuels. Yes, there is energy that comes from wind and solar, but those are still a small fraction of all electrical energy produced and consumed.
There is a meme floating around somewhere (it's been posted here on the Hide in the past) that shows an EV being charged and the charger is being powered by a portable/trailerable gasoline generator. The picture sums up peoples delusions quite nicely.

I'm in power generation, more electric cars! Increase the grid demand over night! ICE cars 20-30% thermally efficient. Steam electric stations with feed water heaters 30-40% efficient, combined cycle up to 80% efficient. But then send that power through our 98% transformer, down transmission lines, through substation transformers that are typically 90-95% then to a 90-95% distribution transformer. Then charge a 50-60% electrically efficient battery. So we're back to 40% just at the battery, not including electrical losses in the vehicle, let alone environmental and energy production impact. I love the stickers on the electric golf carts at our dirt burners, the powered by coal stickers right next to the zero emissions sticker. Or our VP of fossil that drives a Tesla with a powered by coal sticker on it!I work in the Power Semiconductor Industry. I sell our products into numerous, big name EV and Charger manufacturers.

Can't remember anyone getting all offended over the Wayans brothers getting their whiteface on for the "White Chicks" movie.
Political correctness was created to create division amongst the populace and to put in place a way to circumvent the 1st amendment. Now we regularly censure people as a form of punishment, using made up fake morality and public shaming.Can't remember caucasians getting all offended over the Wayans brothers getting their whiteface on for the "White Chicks" movie.
Political correctness is just the stubborn belief, despite all evidence to the contrary, that it's possible to pick up a turd by the clean end?View attachment 7150282

That admiral has sone serious bearing. I would have likely just lost my shit and started laughing.

Go ahead, I dare you!Do I need to start posting deliciously plump chicks again?

Would have been a much shorter video if either knew how to throw a punch.
