PhantOS:
i think rocket launches cost a ton of money and wouldn't be too efficient unless you were disposing of like 5 tonnes of nuclear waste

So you actually believe in this delusion that people that buy Spotify, Netflix, Hulu, YouTube Red, Uber, Trunk Club, HBO every month and then have no money left over for their children's lunch should actually be accepted normalized?
King Tøny:
Phantos is passively playing the black card.

well no coal is clean. Anthracite however is miles better than lower grade coals like lignite. It still isnt clean, but better than burning cheaper low grade coals.
Controversial opinion time: if someone can't afford a school lunch but can afford "luxuries" like Netflix or a smartphone, they have stuff spending habits and giving them a free lunch is only offering an incentive for poor spending habits to continue.

to be fair, i don't think smartphones are as much a luxury any more if you already have a carrier, and getting netflix and a cell phone instead of television and a landline from a cable or satellite provider might be cheaper for some families
