    Have they asked Charles Koch and the other oil men to sit for this experiment? They should have a taste of the future they’re forcing us to endure.

      Will not defend the oil men, they don’t need it. But we’re all complicit, quit your high horse and look around at all the plastics, electricity and fuel you’re using in your day-2-day.

      I know, I know, they’re literally forcing you to do so. If you really wanted to remain pure, you’d have to act as the protagonist of the Brave New World, though, when he just ends up going to live in a secluded forest by himself.

    I live in The South.

    My air conditioner broke 3 years ago. This year we got a small window unit. It’s not enough to cool the whole house. But it does provide the very important feature of dehumidifying the house. The temperature in the house and outside can both be in the high 90s. But it is so much less oppressive inside the house where the humidity has been stripped out.

    It’s like all rhose.facebook memes ‘a boy in Switzerland invented a brand new idea to help the disabled, sticks you can use to support your weight when walking!’ And the comments are people amazed by it.

    I saw one where Finland inventes raised pathways made of wood so people can experience.nature without getting their feet muddy - europe has had raised track ways for at least 6000 years!

    Reader mode exposes a much better headline:
