Respectfully - I don’t see how mega-mansions and huge-trucks could be considered ‘environmentally safe’.
And people should also consider the “social-impact of earning”…
since most mansion-owners “leeched” their money via white-collar jobs at exploitative corporations.
…In my opinion - the entire downstream effect of our choices must be considered.
(I write this in the spirit of unified awareness - I know you aren’t pushing for mansions or trucks)
I think You can have a huge house if You build it smart. Like 100 m long earth ship or something like that. I was a bit iffy about trucks though wen I wrote this, so I know what you mean. But if you scale back to normal not Murican size car/truck and go hydrogen or electric, it is still bad, but better than I can realistically hope for with current trends. I agree with your opinion about jobs. I feel that big corporations are allowed too much free space to do what they want. I love to see innovation that big resources can bring, but it is always being overshadowed by their exploitation and lobbying in self interest. There is not enough control and they always end up exploiting their position.
