A quick search turned up this from UC Davis:

• Increased drought and wildfire risk make grasslands more reliable carbon sinks than trees
• Grasslands should be given opportunities in state’s cap-and-trade market as long-term investment

The wealthiest 10% owns 90% of all stocks. And realistically, how many people can actually track the supply chain of every product they buy to try to only buy from ethical companies? How many truly plastic free options even are there for basic things like bread, toothbrushes/toothpaste, or soap?

Then how are you supposed to know which companies produce how much greenhouse gasses?

I don’t think that’s true. It lasts two turns, but the description only says “the next attack”. And I think the reason it lasts two turns is because the first turn you cast it you’d have already used your action.

1% of the population owns 48% of all the money while 53% of the population owns just 1% of all the money. To draw you a picture:

[Hermione] explained the Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare to a bemused Ron and Harry, saying that when they joined, the society will have three members. Ron protested that the House-elves are happy as they are, but eventually joins.

Hermione managed to get several students, such as Neville Longbottom, to join (paying a fee of two Sickles), though they only did so to stop her from badgering them. These students included a reluctant Ron Weasley (who thought S.P.E.W was a joke because its name reminded him of gagging) and an indifferent Harry Potter.

She also offered it to Hagrid, but he refused as well, saying that the elves liked to work. Fred and George Weasley also put in that the house elves were happy to work at Hogwarts.

Becoming infuriated with Hermione’s “obsession” with the Society, Ron Weasley started calling the group “spew” and, on occasion parodied the name by inventing S.P.U.G., “Society for the Protection of Ugly Goblins”. Hermione angrily replied to this by pointing out that goblins, unlike house-elves, were capable of defending themselves against wizards on their own.

Around 28 June 2011, when a Hogwarts student noticed a S.P.E.W. badge amidst Winky’s stuff, Winky explained the organisation to them and how house-elves should be ashamed of it.

Taken from the wiki. The house elves were seen as happy to be slaves, and any attempt to free them was both unnatural and misguided. If you’re looking for a more in-depth review of why the Harry Potter series was problematic, Shaun made a video about it about a year ago, and he actually (re)read the books before talking about it, unlike you or I. The section on slavery begins at 37:47.

I do find it interesting that creatures being themselves is more problematic than all of the murder, torture, abuse and pain the characters experience.

I don’t even know what you’re referring to here. Are you thinking that the abuse the house elves are subjected to is not as bad as them “wanting” to be enslaved?

as long as the story gives something to think about, im happy with it.

I’m not convinced. You don’t seem to really want to think about the story. We’re shown, very clearly, that at least some of the elves want to be free, but the very next time they’re brought up we’re told “no, elves were born to be slaves. Slavery is their natural state, don’t question it or try to change anything,” which just might be more indicative of the author injecting her worldview than a good point about respecting others’ cultures.

In conclusion: im a white male slave apologist and i should be cancelled. oh and i probably support trump too. i must be really dumb and brainwashed if i enjoy a book about wizards with a character named “Cho Chang” or whatever else is in your videos.

Your persecution fetish is showing.

It still looks fake, but the dailymail article is real, and it might actually link back to a real newspaper, but I’m not too sure about it. And even if it is real, the original article is apparently from 1938.

Harry’s whole life and the plot.

Oh, well you see, the bad things that happen to Harry are depicted as bad by the book, whereas the slavery of the house elves is depicted as a good thing, or at least how things should be. The characters don’t just shrug off someone’s death and say “they’d be happy to have died for the cause,” but they do say “house elves are happy to work, so we shouldn’t end their slavery.” That’s the problematic part, and what makes it worse and worth talking about.

No, you see that because it’s what you want to see. She’s nuts but not pro slavery, and I think thats obvious to most readers.

She’s very pro- house elf slavery. I don’t know how you’re reading the book (or just the wiki page in this case) and coming to another conclusion. The person trying to free them is seen as ridiculous, every character besides her thinks she’s a hopeless idealist who doesn’t know how the world works for wanting to end slavery, and even the main character sides more with the “why is she so upset about this” side than “we should end slavery”.

The Kickstarter page puts it at 450g, which seems to be fairly good compared to the first tire I googled’s ~600g.
