As with all things involving humans, you can't really change minds with facts. It's just emotions and peer pressure.
Not a bad post, but I expect it won't sway people who aren't already on board.

My America defaultism made me excited for a moment, and then I saw this is about Australia. Sigh.
I'm happy I never developed a soda habit.
I pretty much only buy snacks and junks for parties. A normal sized bag of chips was like $7 yesterday. The smaller tostitos were labeled like $5.50.
I'd love to see some sort of general strike or mass boycott, but there's not enough organization, and things aren't bad enough for it to happen en masse spontaneously.
I'd never heard of this person before, except last night at a party someone mentioned them. No one else had heard of him. I'm okay not knowing who online people are.
One of the things that feeds into my insufferable smugness about living in a walkable city is I haven't paid for gas in years (outside of like... maybe 2 road trips a decade). It's just not something I think about.
I had the luxury of being able to move somewhere with trains and buses, though.
All the anti-vax people and "wah wah I just want to go to the party" people have blood on their hands.
I buy albums. Built up a nice library. No drm. No Internet required. I can even share it or pass it on. It's a lot easier to share than my parents' big record collection
Another one of those things we could fix if we had the political will.
Build roads so people don't feel like they can go fast without paying attention. People won't go 70mph on a narrow street alongside a cliff. They'll gun it down a long straight road.
Surely this guy has an address
I wanted this to go to trial so the jury could nullify, but this is a shit timeline.
Evil is just sparkling stupid.
