One of the most insane things i have ever seen on tv was that stadium they built in texas or some other way too hot to live shithole. They could close the roof and AIRCONDICION the whole stadium.

Air-conditioning is generally required when you have an enclosed space with thousands of people in it.

I think you’re missing the point. It’s that they built it to begin with. And it’s not always enclosed. Stadiums exist all over that aren’t air conditioned and don’t close. It’s the level of effort to overcome the heat. Yet we still can’t air condition damn Amazon warehouses or UPS trucks. Both of those have had folks pass out from heat.

Oh we can, those corporations choose not to. The stadium owner has an incentive to ac the stadium since a more pleasant temperature is likely to attract and please most customers. Amazon is working with a captured market and people who, alone and individually, don’t have any power. From Amazon’s perspective and a capitalist viewpoint they’re doing the most legally required to continue to make profit. They don’t have an incentive to change as people continue to buy their products and the government refuses to step in and help exploited workers, even going to far as to ignore the blatant union busting from Amazon and others when the individuals do try to group together and assert leverage.

I mean, I’m watching Righteous Gemstones right now and loving it for what I thought was just a funny fictional show.

Then I learned that even celebrities still share stuff to social media about supporting these rich fucking leeches. Nothing surprises me anymore. People don’t think about the climate or Earth’s finite resources or ecological collapse. Because as long as some rich fuck with a platform gets on it and says, “That’s not true,” their followers will believe it.

And yes, I’m referring to uneducated religious people, which take up around half of this godforsaken country.
