My agenda is to not waste money trying to pretend you're doing something for the environment. A rooftop garden isn't doing anything real its just theatre.

Rooftop gardens aren't even going to make a debt in the food demand for NYC.

The concept of rooftop farming is ridiculous for so many reasons. It's just incredibly inefficient to try and farm that way when wide open fields exist.

Name one Communist country in all if History that hasn't been a total disaster? Capitalism isn't perfect, but it's a hell of a lot better than the alternative.

The last 100 years have seen by far the greatest improvement in the standard of living than any other. Average human lifespan has increased by DECADES and extreme poverty has gobe from bring the norm to being nearly completely eradicated. All the facts point to a massive triumph of science over the problems humanity is facing.

Insulin is expensive because of how insurance works in the US, not because more money was spent on baldness.

Looks like class size is inversely correlated with income, but it's probably not that significant.

There are only 7 distinct options here so the scale should simplify represent those instead of being a continuously gradient.

Reply to comment by keirawynn in ELI5 why can’t we make a medicine that kills viruses? by DillPickleEverything
Viruses produce enzymes specific to their replication that can be specifically targeted.

Antivirals do work for the viruses they are designed to treat. HIV drugs have completely turned the tide against that disease and Paxlovid is 90% effective in preventing hospitalization and death from COVID. These drugs work work very well so I reject the entire premise of this question.

Darn, never really realized that they basically have no Pacufuc flights. Guess they can't compete with Asian carriers?

Actually they don't. They absorb it while alive and then release it after they die. They only fix carbon if they end up buried somewhere without decomposers. A rooftop garden isn't going to fix carbon.
