Reducing your carbon footprint to own the libs

Not feeling owned enough. Maybe some install some solar.

I agree that it's the right thing to do but it would probably be costly and widely unpopular to increase safety standards on the road. It's not worth it to miss out on combating the rise of fascism by losing elections after implementing long-term improvements that enrage people in the short term.
