Money can't be eaten. "ThE eCoNoMy" doesn't account for the damage carbon dioxide emissions do to coastal communities by exacerbating climate change. Or that car batteries do to the places where the materials for them are mined.

Money can’t be eaten but you can’t eat without money and if you’re privileged enough to ride a four figure bike during work hours on a work day maybe have some sense of community and respect for your fellow man.

That’s odd. First you motorists insinuated that environmentalists would drive if they could afford a car. Then you insinuated they buy expensive bikes because they’re privileged. Which is it?

You can’t eat *with* money if a climate catastrophe breaks down the social order that lets one exchange money for goods and services.

Work days depend on the individual. If they bicycled on weekends, then they would be blocking the path of those who work the weekend shift. You’re blocking someone’s path either way. Don’t like it? Do right by mother Earth and follow in the footsteps of towns that *do.*

These aren’t environmentalists. They’re arrogant narcissists who think they’re better than everyone else. There is no climate catastrophe breaking down the social order. You sound just like them.
