- micro plastic everywhere, water, food, ground. Majority of American women breastfeed their children with their own milk containing plastic - cancerous substances from cars exhaustion, cigarettes and such going inside people every day of their lives - toxic and cancerous chemicals used for processing foods and drinks

we are breathing, drinking, eating and staying in contact with cancerous substances 24/h day. I'm surprised the human body is so resilient and we don't have 80% of under 40s with cancer tbh

the fix is to: - stop burning fossil fuels - stop producing and releasing in the environment plastic and toxic waste - switch to a sustainable diet and ditch intensive farms using chemicals to boost production

the technology is here but it would require the innovation of many industries, and without governments pushing for it a profit driven industry obviously wouldn't never change

Then you have to add the mental and physical health that is going down the drain. Lonely and depressed people stuck in bad jobs that can't have a decent life. Suburban sprawl, car-centric urbanism, alienation and isolation of communities and such

I also have to use Terraform and I try to avoid looking at it as much as possible. Hashicorp HCL is incredibly bad (not to use stronger words). I am trying to use an alternative like Pulumi whenever possible, but thankfully there is some hope with cdktf, since Terraform is today effectively technical debt. I can't see how anyone thought that HCL, a terrible language to use in any aspect, was a better choice than a general purpose language like python or js. Every one in our infra org utterly despises HCL. The workflow or Terraform is also very poor, it promotes bad practices and does not offer decent guarantees. I know I sound harsh, but I hope it is received as constructive criticism
