Is a welfare government funding scheme really the best route forward? I’m thinking : give an inch, take a mile. Which is status quo for our country. Probably even our species.
I pray for a day that [any] society also gave enough of a fuck and didn’t just want a gift voucher to do the right thing and be socially responsible without getting a hug/gift/reward/whatever bullshit excuse 
Did you get a new phone, or thumb surgery? You’re typing skills are on point today!
definitely laptop
Still phone, but brand new screen. I dropped it in the ditch not an hour ago and it’s cracked, so I suspect I’ll get back on [previous] point soon enough haha
You are talking about the same people who protest whenever pavements are built. Temper your expectations.
Nah, I’m not. It’s a good back and forth and I appreciate it. But let’s go deeper. Like, WAY deeper. Not just pavement superficial level. If you’re willing 
A classic Neil Young quotation comes to mind:
“[Heart of Gold; or for @Explant typing intelligibly] put me in the middle of the road. Travelling there soon became a bore so I headed for the ditch. A rougher ride but I met more interesting people there.”

I still typed on not in. Fuck it, air pollution is still bad…
OK this part makes me sad. Take care, man! 
Guy
Everyone is sad. We are all filtering the air the same way via our organs, damn haha. Nice quote by the way 
Also, fugg you lol
Neil Young would be proud!

Data is data. Fact is fact. Opinion is opinion. Nice to have a good tune without D bags getting ambitions about a topic. Let’s fugging go! It’s easy to debate opinions, but if people ignore the actual observable reality, it’s hard to move forward with opinions and how we can mend the wounds, fix the problems, or even have a nature back and forth. Not talking about, just the situation in general. It is wild how ego centric, pussy hurt, glass hearted, naive or whatever term one chooses to use. Everyone can be pragmatic, and everyone can admit they (we, I) am wrong).
The real question remains.
Does a person want to feel like they are right, or;
Does a person want to solve the problem being discussed and be willing to accept new information. Should be #2, but let’s be real about society and ego.
A real issue.
For anyone that actually reads and cares (this post is not really aimed at you, mister spivak), have fun with discourse. But be actually real about strong points.
Ps. I dropped my phone I. The fire just now, screen is fucked. Enjoy my typos and Samsung Korean inability to spell check English 
I typed a deeper response. Then I remembered Taiwanese people protest pavements being built.
Anyway it is what it is. People are selfish and taiwanese education about air pollution is surprisingly low for a place that has a ton of it.
To this, I 100% agree.
But, I dont think this excuses complacency and iinaction. Sometimes the population needs to do their part. Our part.
Current AQI “only” 92 in Danshui, but ugh, looks worse than that already-bad number. Ugly out there.
The horizon looks white, but that’s not clouds.
Location: somewhere in the Taipei basin
Guy
Yup, not what Taipei currently looks like!
I was anticipating a difficult decision this morning: “I want to bike under the cherry blossoms! But I don’t want to deal with LNY traffic! What shall I do?!” At least the pollution made that decision much, much easier.
That looks a lot better than northern Taiwan!
