500,000 (!!!) die from fucking tobacco diseases

People valorize the shitty planning! It’s seen as a virtue!
Actually God created the demon Mammom so it’s actually good
Right people talk about how folks in the restaurant industry disporportionately smoke and just think it’s a quirk of the industry and not how the working class in that line of work deals with all the bullshit that they shouldn’t have to all while making horribly low wages.
30,000 die every year from fucking cars slamming into each other and other shit. 500,000 (!!!) die from fucking tobacco diseases. every damn year.
At least with these deaths one can make some plausible argument in the form of “well there’s a balance to be struck between safety and convenience, or safety and the desire to use intoxicants.” Any sort of similar argument with covid falls flat when you look at how much better other countries have contained it.
It’s been going on a long time. 30,000 die every year from fucking cars slamming into each other
Lousy comparison.
Civil engineer here: automobile deaths are an avoidable consequence of urbanism. We do have the power to design cities and roads and cars so people do not die as a consequence of transportation, last year in Stockholm not a single driver killed anyone. Zero people died due to automobile crashes in a city of 1.6 million. The reason that tragic violence exists, like the reason covid deaths occur is because of the systemic rejection of materialism in the engineering profession.
