    Sure, you have some valid points but the billionaires are absolutely the ones doing the following:

    • producing, monopolizing distribution and advertising the shit out of all meat
    • silently funding and promoting the nimby groups
    • opposing clean energy projects as it hurts their dividend payments from energy stocks
    • opposing public transit to sell more vehicles and maintenance requirements for roads and vehicles
    • buying up single family housing and making them overpriced rental units
    • lobbying to prevent multiple dwellings on single plots to force more people into rentals

    Don’t go giving them a free pass.

      To quote myself from two minutes ago

      The people at the top carry a vast majority of the blame

      Yup, sure sounds like a free pass to me.

      My only point is that the people at the top being the worst doesn’t absolve the rest of us of our own choices.

        It is a free pass. All the things you said they weren’t guilty of, they are the driving force behind all of the consumption. Except maybe the air conditioning thing. That is just dumb. 75 is perfect for ac.
