Only haters here dislike the food and the air isn’t a problem. Traffic isn’t really a big problem if you don’t ride a motorbike either. The most common source of complaint I read here is xenophobia. If Taiwan was more woke this problem would go away. ---

What is this supposed to argue? And even if air pollution and traffic were problems, wokism would improve it too. Woke people also support environmentalism. Celebrities who fly private jets get called out/cancelled. ---

Nope–they’ve drank the Koolaid. I am all for low carbon imprints and lesser consumption, but to believe any solutions are on the cards to replace fossil fuels? Just from an unideological logistics perspective, do you know what mining outputs would be needed? For the minerals for all those panels or other alt-energy outputs.
