The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Again, the evidence points to the contrary

I've provided you with documentation that, in real numbers, poverty is increasing, the rate of increase of pollution may be slowing, but it's cumulative to existing pollution that is not being resolved (if it can ever be resolved).

en.wikipedia.org - List of Superfund sites

There's no way to mitigate thousands of square miles of sea floor carpeted in toxic chems.

You seem to consider economic progress as the benchmark of environmental success; not the ongoing, cumulative damage to the environment that's incurred in the attempt to meet the needs of the human mass.

Without planetary health, what's the point of wealth? And I'm not talking about healthcare statistics or the number of Audis and Mercedes that cross the Atlantic. I'm talking about the health of the planet; it's flora and fauna.... the thousands of miles of lead lined telecom cables that are -surprise- leaching lead into the environment, and other newly discovered woopsies that accompany the rapid rollouts of modern technology.
