Why is it that people put the environment against the economy?
it seems like econ commenters always try to say that protecting the environment would hurt the nebulous idea of the “economy'. despite the fact that the costs of Environmental destruction would cost way more than Environmental regulation.
i hate the common parlance that a few people's jobs are worth more than the future of Earths biosphere. especially because it only seems that they care about people losing their jobs is if they work at a big corporation.
always the poor coal miners or video game developers at EA and not the Mongolian Herders, or family-owned fishing industries that environmental havoc would hurt. maybe jobs that are so precarious that the company would fire you if the company doesn't make exceptional more money every year are not worth creating/ Why is it that people put the environment against the economy?
not to mention how fossil fuel corpos spent billions on propaganda to make people think individuals are responsible for the environment and not the huge mega corps that can spend billions on propganda we call ads
why do people go “what about the coal workers” no one seemed to care about the coal workers when they got black lung.
maybe people shouldt need jobs
