Cool, but the same thing happens with that. And that is not to detract from it, it is still impressive and uplifting, I'm just trying to quell what people think of when a book is a best seller. I used to think it was hundreds of thousands of books, when it might be a thousand in a short period. I'm really glad this happened and it took off the way it did, because he is likely to get more success as the social media train charges forward with it giving more eyes. I would love that to happen when I publish, but doubt it will.

Of course, just wanted to point out xD

I agree that it does good which is why I said exactly that in my post.

I was replying to someone who said it was positive change and I'm saying I don't think it's an indicator of change.

It’s currently the #1 selling book on Amazon.

Fine. It still does good, assuming they’re good shelters.

Not to detract from the feel good story, but sadly best seller doesn't mean much when you dive into it. All you need is to be the best seller for any niche of the book in a week period. Mind you, you can forever claim that "new York times best seller" sticker for that book, but that is why you see so many books with it.

circle of life!!!!

There's no reason to indicate this is any kind of change. They already made these, already spent the money, and already used them for their intended purpose. It's good that they're being sent to go to use but it's literally just a free PR move for them.

Vermont Man is a cold-weather badass that rivals the Canadians in wholesomeness.

I've met lots of good folks in and from Vermont.

Never let a crisis go to waste

Also, far North. In Siberia the EVs are basically useless. No one has heated garages, and temperature can hit -30 for weeks, and go down to like -50s Celsius. Hybrids could be possible, but it's hard to outdo gas in this setup. Especially since it's also providing lots of heat

So, while close to the equator you can easily switch to EV for city use at least, in the north it's not always going to work. And I think it's also not that great when you live in a flat without easy access to a charger.

Tons of people across the world have the means to significantly improve those people's lives and send incredible amounts of supplies etc. Not saying there's only one evil regime in the world...

Vermont Man sounds like a better hang than Florida Man.

Not that I'm taking their side or anything but there's a lot of people out there who could do the same, and haven't sent tents or whatever.

It’s not hypocritical at all. I never said my country was perfect or defended any of its actions in any way, thats you making assumptions that fit your claim. Beyond all that, your argument relies on the premise that no one can offer criticism without some qualifier about literally everything else bad in the word also being bad, that’s absurd.

If you want to call me a hypocrite because you have some proof that I personally, am also grossly abusing immigrant labor then you might have an argument.

I’ll go ahead and assume you don’t have that proof though…

Name one government that hasn’t done some reprehensible shit recently. I’m not saying it makes it ok but I am saying it’s pretty hypocritical to talk shit until you hold your own government to account. I don’t even know where you live but I’m confident there will be some scandal.

Man I wish Atmosphere had new stuff. Dude is talented and I love his old stuff like eff you Lucy and Gods bathroom floor.

Even if not entirely genuine, this one man's trash is another man's treasure actually does good

Qatar is never one to pass up a chance for trying to make itself look like less of a shithole.

Don't give them that amount of benefit of the doubt.

They are doing a good thing because it's convenient for them now. And that's good. But they are very much net-evil still.

In that case you are predicting a huge jump in the stock when Amazon buys them to make desperately needed EV delivery vans. Or is that not how it works?

Slightly lol

Well Mr LargeP. To the moon!

To be honest this is the best thing they could've done with the mobile homes, I bet they'll be a huge help to all those countless lives suffering right now. But still, Qatar=bad
