My experience? 99% of green tech, like almost all other startups, is either trying to reinvent the wheel, solely depending on VC, banking on legislative change that will never happen, green in name only, or just a straight up scam. And investing itself is part of the problem, because a lot of the business nowadays is just appearances to attract investors, cash out, move on. You can't invest in any company and hope they stay true to their word, because sooner or later some MBAsshole is going to maximize shareholder value the place either into the ground or into suck-the-planet-dry for profit country.

Where does that leave you? Use your money and invest in yourself, your home, your family, possibly build a doomsday bunker or a self sustaining farmstead.

Just go on Facebook reels or YouTube shorts and "thirst" for a while, meaning stop scrolling whenever you see a scantily dressed girl or something similar and eventually the algorithm will serve you just straight up smut.

And once they're labelled as porn sites, they'd lobby hard to get the law repealed, rather than actually pay for adequate moderation.

I think I speak for most of the world right now when I say this:

Fuck.

“It happened, therefore it can happen again.” – Primo Levi

Saw this written on a plaque at the Holocaust memorial in Berlin and it really gave me pause, reflecting on what is happening all around the world right now.

Literally having a criminal prosecutor run against a convicted criminal is kind of beautiful.

Well now I'm gonna think even harder that you're scamming, and I never even heard of you before.
