    Yea but where's the profit? How do we give the shareholders value if it's free?

    Hear my idea:

    First we pollute the air enough to be almost unbreathable (as a side gig, we get to burn oil, coal steel...)

    Then we make special facilities to filter said pollution from air before said air enters the house.

    Then we sell these house for a premium with grade AAA+++ the best air quality ever.

    Now, what to do with the defective filters?

    Put in a house with grade B+ air quality.

    Grade C will be the houses that get the air that was exhausted from AAA+++ and B+ (after being breathed a few times and with no filtering).

    Grade F is the good old coal air that the people who can't pay will have to breath as they work in the coal burning facilities.

    It's a slippery slope. What's next? Water, food, shelter, healthcare, personal freedom, leisure? Give me a break with all these handouts and just give me the exploitable labor. \s

    You're missing every other Western country "abstaining" because they're too embarrassed to vote no.

    Depends on the vote. For example see the yearly "The US Blockade is illegal and immoral and should stop immediately" UN vote. Pretty much always just US and Israel. And lately Ukraine.

    Edit: and one or two heavily US aligned tiny Island nations sometimes e.g. Marshall Islands

    Even worse, one of those two votes is often enough to kill the entire thing, because they have unilateral “it has to be unanimous” or “this one specific country can overrule everyone else” rules on the important shit.

    You do understand why that is, right? It's because it's not meant to be a government, so pacts that won't be enforceable without certain countries are capable of being denied by said countries for the most part. Because it's diplomacy, not a government . Nothing stops the "yes" voting countries from making pacts with each other to go with the resolutions as well. Not doing that when usa votes no should show you something about their actual thoughts

    They popped up on my YouTube shorts feed a few weeks ago; as best as I can tell they’re a fan-made set of booster cards, with the purpose of parodying/piggybacking on the current booster cracking (gambling) craze - right down to the fact that it has its own set of rare ‘chase’ cards.

    I just find the low-effort art style and names charming, without ever feeling the need to participate.
