If it was legal for corporations to sell slaves, would you happily buy them and say it is corporation problem? People want changes, but only if change happens somewhere else and not in them

Reply to comment by netz_pirat in No coal comeback: Europe’s renewable energy transition is in hyperdrive by Straight_Ad2258
you're misunderstanding. what nuclear needs to be worldwide is a direct replacement for coal (as in, a "backup" energy source) and not renewables (which should power the majority of the grid). it's stupid because they're still using coal for that purpose and ditching the cleaner one until they go 100% renewable (which should have a backup because right now, it's not 100% uptime).
reactors are never cheap anywhere- i never said they were, and they're only gonna get cheaper if we eliminate the social stigma around them and embrace the new tech.
france's reactors are old. look at the gen IV reactors for a better example of what nuclear could (and should) be worldwide.

So weird that this is even news. Basically: In the wealthiest country in the world, some people think that kids shouldn’t go hungry.

compare that to coal accidents. nuclear is some of the safest energy we have.. the only reason people get scared is because of a massive disinformation campaign on the part of coal (whose power stations release more than 100 times the radioactive material per year than nuclear). when you start to compare the amount of lives lost and habitat destruction from fossil fuels, you learn that nuclear is a teddy bear compared to them.

You’re not the one responsible for that. Saddling the consumer with the ethics of climate change is a corporate grift.

If the environmental regulations are strong enough and enforced, the beef supply will be limited and the price will go up, resulting in less consumption.
This is a difficult ask from governments obviously, but consider that the alternative is trying to convince vast numbers of people to willingly stop eating tasty meat. Humans have issues doing that when it's literally killing them and they've been told so by doctors. Expecting them to do it when told to by environmentalists seems a little less likely to me than the governmental regulation option.

That's likely why a lot of the circle from the previous government are hanging out in Florida right now.
Some of them suspiciously abandonning their jobs days before their scheduled holiday or relief, likely just to be out before shit went down and avoid getting arrested if it failed.
Each week they arresting new groups (prolly over well over 2000 by now) of involved that they identified from social media, phone network activity or via financial contributions. They'll hopefully work their way up soon enough by the time certain US visas expire.

For how important the Amazon is to the world’s atmosphere quality, I wouldn’t mind being charged an “Amazon tax” that goes to preserving it if there’s only some organization that would actually use that money for that purpose

Well, there have been quite a few reports in the past weeks the police and military was finally being activated in Brazil and send out against illegal mining barges and equipment being destroyed & ~20.000 "garimperos" -- illegal prospectors (that tend to set fires and murder indigeous people, activists, reporters, local politicians against mining or goverment officials in conservation jobs) being arrested or driven out of the region.
Those guys had grown to milita forces in the past years, going so far to assaulting whole villages and police outpost. Lots of activists were assasinated in the past years.
The previous government basically turned a blind eye to all of it and some people in there had been previously investigated for illegal trade and export of protected wood.
The Amazon is really far out from most of the population centers and some regions take several days to reach, so it was quite a mobilization effort.

Higher taxes to cover the tax loophole instead of investments or cutting costs; firing the central bank's president; putting Dilma, the worst president of Brazil in economics, as president of BRICS; releasing Sergio Cabral, who had a 400 year sentence; high inflation with high interest rate, what is the president's plan for that? nothing, just insult investors and try to virtually reduce the interest rate; every single politician got a raise, while the minimun revenue necessary for paying income taxes has been reduced; Offering billionaire loans to latin-american countries that haven't even paid their previous loan yet, meanwhile no budget for education; banning all guns, even for sports; planning to end military police, in a country with 60k deaths/year; passing retroactive taxes to businesses, causing billions of losses and raising product prices; wants to end Uber in Brazil; Censorship through the Truth Ministry; Made it so ties in federal disputes are now in the state's favor rather than the population's, meaning improperly charged taxes must be paid now anyway;
All of that in a single month, this post was literally the first good news i've seen from the current government.
Edit: Leftist echochamber downvoting into oblivion as always, bunch of retards that don't even live here saying it's a perfect country because of god Lula
