I never thinked about it, good analysis!

I was thinking about this line from Jackie and it got me thinking.

3 years earlier, when Lighter and Fuel lost their house in a fire, they stayed over at the Yado Inn. Two villagers were homeless, but they weren't left to fend for themselves. The other villagers helped them, because they were a community.

Now, 3 years later, Lighter and Fuel are at risk of homelessness again because they oppose Porky's regime and refuse to buy a Happy Box. Their house has a huge hole in the roof. But if they were to ask Jackie if they could book a room at his hotel, he'd probably tell them the same thing he told Lucas. Not necessarily because he has anything against them personally, but because their presence there is bad for business, and now that capitalism has been introduced to Tazmily, he needs money. The villagers don't help each other without expecting anything in return anymore. I think this is a subtler way that the game shows how capitalism promotes a hyper-individualistic mentality.

Horrible fact of the day: Chevron just released a new boat fuel that WILL give you cancer.

Not "might", not "could", WILL. It has a cancer ratio of 1.3:1, as in, in a group of 10 people, 10 would contract CANCER.

(Edit: apparently some articles are now saying 1.4:1, and some are saying a little under that. Either way, the consensus seems to be anywhere between a 95-100+% of contracting cancer, with some expectations of this fuel not even needing a full lifetime of exposure for you to get Cancer.)

The EPA's safety limit is 1:1,000,000 as in 1 in a million people get cancer.

The EPA approved it anyways. I am not joking. The EPA approved a boat fuel that has a near 100% chance of giving someone cancer. It has such a good chance of giving someone cancer that if you DIDN'T get cancer YOU WOULD BE AN OUTLIER.

Fuck the oil industries.

Edit: If you find this (rightfully) horrifying, have you considered industrial sabotage? /hj

This isn't something we can vote away. This isn't something the rich are gonna apologize and make a 10 minute apology video for this. They don't care if you starve or wither in hospitals or get blown up in their wars.

If you don't know where to get started:

If you already know what to do, then it's time to do it. Participate in mutual aid, raise awareness in real life as well as online, participate in or train in self defense and emergency medical training classes.

Chemists find easier way to produce biodiesel from waste oil

UC Santa Cruz chemists have discovered a new way to produce biodiesel from waste oil that both simplifies the process and requires relatively mild heat. This discovery has the potential to make the alternative fuel source much more appealing to the massive industrial sectors that are the backbone of the nation's economy. In 2022, the U.S. transportation sector alone used about 3 million barrels of diesel per day, accounting for about 75% of total consumption of the fuel in this country. That same year, diesel use accounted for about 10% of total energy-related CO2 emissions in the United States, according to the federal Energy Information Administration. While some companies have turned towards electric vehicles to reduce their carbon footprint, the vast majority of fleets still run on diesel—in part, because biodiesel production is difficult, energy intensive, and so, has slowed adoption. Of all the energy sources used by the U.S. transportation sector in 2022, biofuels accounted for just 6%.
