       This video agrees so strongly with things I believed already (see one of my long-pinned posts, for instance) that I was hesitant to post it, fearing a confirmation bias reflex. I sat on it and watched it a few more times and …well, I still think it's really right on. You should watch it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReXaS4QausQ #BikeTooter #BikeLanes #ClimateChange

       So, surely, our governments are dropping everything to fund this transformative technology, right? …right? <padme confused face>https://highways.dot.gov/newsroom/biden-harris-administration-announces-nearly-45-million-available-funds-improve-bicyclist

       Instead, we're investing hundreds of times more in the idea that nothing has to change and some future breakthrough will magically clean up after the incredible mess we've made. https://www.energy.gov/articles/biden-harris-administration-announces-12-billion-nations-first-direct-air-capture

       Hell, you don't have to bike, or want to bike, or care about biking at all, and you might *still* want the government to bet way more money on a long-proven, incredibly cheap and cost-effective method to fight climate change (and make streets safer for everyone!), rather than not doing that. Why not!? Maybe it'll work! Let's give it a go and see. But, no. We are not even trying, even seeing the results other countries are getting today. And that is so incredibly stupid.
