This is a comic I first saw years ago, and it's one I think about a lot in a lot of different contexts.

Fun math for you, in case anyone ever says public transport is a waste of money:
A new line to the DC metro system costs around 25 billion dollars. Sounds like a lot of money, right? Well, consider that the metro has 136 million riders. If you do the math, that comes out to an entirely new metro expansion costing less than 200$ for every one rider. Even if you add the metro system's annual budget of 4.7 billion to the equation, it comes out to around 218$ dollars per rider of the metro system afford a whole new line and maintenance.
By contrast, the cost of fuel and car maintenance for the average American is over 5,000.

"Is it bourgeois to go outside?"
This is a primo example of "not all discourse is worth engaging in." Sometimes because it's someone trolling and baiting you into wasting your energy, sometimes because it's just fucking stupid
There's something to be said about access to outdoor spaces but this is not a circumstance where everyone is operating on even remotely the same level of understanding of what the real issues are

Republicans getting bird flu to own the libs.
Before I knew better I was one of the 1% of people regularly consuming into raw dairy. The local cow share gave the cows an excellent environment, and it tasted so much better that it made grocery store milk seem thin and sour. Skimming the cream off the top, or shaking the milk to reincorporate it, was a great experience.
Now I know that the taste was primarily higher fat and nutrition from well kept cows, and the milk being unhomogenized. Pasteurization doesn't ruin the milk, it just makes it safer.
