4 days agoIf producers were forced to account for all emissions, either they wouldn’t exist or oil and gas would be charged for what it actually costs, buyers would happily switch to cheaper renewables when possible, and a lot of plastic junk just wouldn’t get made.

My partner and I make just over $100k pretax. There is no way we can afford kids. Rent + bills is roughly $4000/month and we have a combined $130k in student loan debt. The cheapest home we could buy in my area is $450k.
