This is so infuriating? Like do you really think war and smart phones cant exist in the same country at the same time without cancellation? Those phones (not even “expensive smartphones”) are probably all the connection they have with family. And that a phone = rich, and that their having a phone erases their status as refugees?

I got a smartphone brand new for $20, it’s not great and pretty far behind compared to the new phones but it was cheap.

My friend in Columbia was able to buy a similar one for about $12.

And also there is the fact that you can actually be middle class or even rich and end up as a refugee!

Let’s say your town floods and you can only grab what you can fit in a single backpack of course you are going to take your damn phone! ESPECIALLY when your entire family is split up cause the evacuation happened out of nowhere and you want to be able to find them again.

Racist white people seem to think cell phones cost $5 million dollars and nobody but tech billionaires and other whites should own them.

Literally everyone knows to have a fully charged phone in an emergency situation, but once non westerners try to have a fully charged phone in a situation, it’s some sort of fucking luxury that should be condemned. Didn’t realize that disaster and upheaval came with a mandatory downgrade for your cell phone.

sorry not sorry to drag apple into this, but are y’all so fucking used to $800-$1100 phones that you literally cant wrap your head around anyone who’s not rich having a smart phone???

Y’all actually believe your phone is worth $800+???

Not just all this, but the assumption that these refugees coming over for a “better life” or whatever isnt the full truth. Most of these people dont want to leave their homelands. They’re not all escaping poverty, many are escaping the VIOLENCE. Many immigrants are educated, they were teachers, business owners and government workers who were under the fear of gangs running their towns, taxing them and threatening to, and following through with, killing everyone in a business or location if the tax is not paid, and the police corruption in conjunction that doesnt protect them. They leave their professional careers to become house keepers and construction workers in the US off the books because they cant utilize their educations here. Now I dont want to throw people escaping poverty to the side because that’s very real and valis, but this dehumanization is ridiculous, making latine immigrants seem like meek simple savages. We need FULL PICTURES and CONTEXTS to be spoken about, not just the narrative non-latine like to push.

Scientists invented fabric that makes
electricity from motion and sunlight.
To create the fabric, researchers at
Georgia Tech wove together solar
cell fibers with materials that generate
power from movement. It could be
used in “tents, curtains, or wearable
garments,” meaning we’d virtually
never be without power. Source

Y’all are fucking idiots. Clean energy will NEVER be enough to replace the energy we have now. We’d have to tear down DOZENS of forests just to fit enough windmills and solar panels to get even a QUARTER (probably less, tbh) of the energy we can produce now.

Yeah, sure, when they’ve already calculated that a few square miles of panels in the empty ass Arizona desert could power the whole nation. But ok, fracking and the diminishing petroleum supply is worlds better.

Nevermind that windmills are often most efficient off the coast. There they take up no land, impact no trees, don’t pollute the water, and are conveniently located where winds are often strongest anyway.

And solar panels can literally be built into roofs of buildings and in empty areas like deserts. The sun strikes the Earth with the same amount of energy in an hour that our civilization uses in a year.

But yeah, it would be impossible for us to ever have enough energy from clean sources.

Durr hurr technology is bad and I would rather light shit on fire than have clean energy

I can also testify to the Arizona desert being empty ass. And the California desert. And the Nevada desert. 

also…no forests were cleared to make space for Denmark’s windmills and yet they regularly produce so much power that it covers almost all of the country’s power needs. Oh, and then there’s the times when the windmills generate 140% of Denmark’s power needs. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2015/jul/10/denmark-wind-windfarm-power-exceed-electricity-demand

Friendly reminder that oil pipelines are a scam.

The fact that anyone can believe a limited amount of dinosaur oil is more plentiful and efficient than moving air or fucking sunlight is proof that entire populations can be completely brainwashed.

I’m here for the clean energy smackdown!

clean energy smackdown!

Costa Rica has been powering itself almost exclussively through hydroelectric, eolic and geotermic means for a while lmao all you need to do is not be a coward
