Weeeeeeell...
You can eat your meat and enjoy it. It's only 8% of the green house gas emissions.
Changing up how energy produced in a minority of power plants will have a larger impact on green house gas emissions.

The "meat causes global warming" talking point is some stupid bullshit vegans came up with to guilt people who consider anthropogenic climate change a serious issue.
A case of Hmmm!?
I don't approve of these actions even if I find it kind of amusing
It's not good to protest Karl Marx's shitty ideology that purported to eradicate property rights... by transgressing against people's property rights. And beyond that, some of us tend to refer to leftwingers as deranged when they vandalize confederate statues or statues of other historical figures, so it's really not good to play the same game here.
This kinda ties back into what I said about the Trump emergency border thing. If you object to the other side doing something, object to it on principle and hold to that principle rather than partisanship. Just as it was not good for Obama to expand executive power, it's not a good idea for Trump and the right to do the same thing. Just as Marxists believe in violating property rights, its not a good idea to violate property rights in protest in them. Just as we call leftwingers out for vandalizing statues and monuments to historical figures it's a shit idea to play into the same bullshit here.

Ahhh, there it is. Takes me back to the Obama days.
The old "retarded right-winger" logic. It's been a while since I saw some of this in the wild because of how much of a monopoly the retarded left-wingers (due to Trump Derangement Syndrome) have had on this type of thing.
I learned this story from a friend:
He's a roofer. He was in his workshop, doing some work, when his legs suddenly went out from under him, and he felt a tightness in his chest. There were no working landlines, and his cell phone was in his truck outside, so he had to crawl to the truck to get his phone, to dial 911.
When the ambulance came, he was told an artery burst, and that he had about a fifty/fifty chance of surviving.
And then they had him sign some papers.
That's, obviously, the part that triggers me. They HAD HIM SIGN PAPERS... AS... HE WAS HAVING A HEART ATTACK.
The paperwork couldn't wait until he was stable? Not to mention, in his right mind. Who would be in their right mind to sign off on anything, as they're dying.
For that matter, was it medically necessary to tell him he may die? That kind of information would send someone into a panic, which pumps blood a lot faster...
I mean, Jesus ****ing christ. If I didn't already have close family that suffered through this kind of stuff, I wouldn't believe it.

What kind of neighborhood was it? In terms of the level of crime, etc.

Interesting, I've had experiences with ambulances in poorer neighborhoods and they come from the crappier hospitals and those are the people who usually mistreat you.Did he file a complaint?
Don't think it even occurred to him to try.
He's a working class liberal Italian American, who probably never used a lawyer for anything, and might not be able to afford one. He's also 70, and still working.
A very personable, intelligent man, not at all some "working class idiot", but he simply isn't the sort to try and "retaliate" against someone else, even if it's deserved.

I understand, though perhaps next time someone calls 911 and gets the same people that person will not be as lucky...so that is why I would have reported it.

They did that to my mother. She was in hospital for almost a day before someone finally realised she needed emergency surgery as her large intestine had went necrotic and burst inside her. Without myself or my brother present they had her sign a waiver form when she was barely conscious because of extreme pain and told her she was extremely unlikely to survive. (They gave her an 18% chance). She did survive though.
People on the Left are Truly Horrible, Horrible People....
Man pulls gun on Maga Hate wearer. The Left showing thier True Colors?
lucky for this guy this can't be considered a Hate Crime.
