We are sacrificing the third world to battle climate change and advance AI. I guess that is the ultimate form of San Francisco Big Tech NIMBYism.

The race to mine critical minerals for AI and clean energy is creating ‘sacrifice zones’ | The Invading Sea

Anyone who understands the Indian psyche will immediately tell you this line of thinking does not work in #India.

India WAS already heavily into trains & buses, and it was a #micromobility haven with bikes, motorcycles, rickshaws, and other low energy vehicles, but that was deemed #ThirdWorld until highways and cars took over

Trump to third world: Tell you what, you pay me $5 million and I'll give you citizenship in the greatest country of the world

Third world: Um, not so sure anymore...sure we're poorer but we still seem to have some human rights around here

Life expectancy at birth in Louisiana is 71.1 years.

Life expectancy at birth in Mexico is 74.83 years.

Louisiana is literally more of a third world country than Mexico. Except with slightly more flush toilets. 1.3% of Louisiana homes lack flush toilets, vs 3.6% in Mexico.

How's that voting #maga going for you, Louisiana? #thirdworld #usa #gop

All this yelling at #Congress about the #malfeasance of the #BigotedOrangeFascist and his #enablers and #cronies makes me want to complain about all the time I feel obligated to spend yelling at #Congress.

But if I don't, what is now a handful of #firstworldproblems will become an avalanche of #thirdworld problems. Including, most notably, why #USA should no longer be considered first world.
