| NYT Attacks ‘Heightism,' Calls to Mate with Short People to Save Earth | |
| 2023-01-04 | |
| [Breitbart] Being short is “better” for the planet and future, according to a recent New York Times piece that describes short people as “inherent conservationists” who save resources by consuming less and are “best suited for long-term survival.” The essay’s author, who boasts of her “tiny” children who “eat like gerbils” and thus help “save money and food,” also calls for mating with a short partner as “an effective way to help the planet” because it can decrease the “needs of subsequent generations.” The Sunday essay, titled “There Has Never Been a Better Time to Be Short” and penned by author Mara Altman, begins by describing increased height as a “widely held fantasy of superiority that long ago should have been retired.” “It made sense to fawn over height when it facilitated survival,” she writes. “Ages ago, when the necessity of defending oneself cropped up daily, if not hourly, tall people could more easily protect their families and bring home some woolly rhino flank.” “Today, those who have the stamina to sit in an office chair all day bring home the plastic-wrapped meats,” she adds.

| #3 Imagine if all this "don't reproduce, or do it in an inferior fashion" sentiment had just been applied when what Mike Savage calls "the red diaper doper babies" were being conceived. |

| #2 Why not attack the source of what seems to be all problems. - Liberals and their Media outlets How many times have the Liberals and their Media demanded items be replaced because of their "claimed" impact? Then the replacing process actually expended more resources than the product in being villainized? Then, only to fail 10–15 years later, at the cost of 100's of Billion of $$$$$$ to live up to the Liberals and their Medias dooms day warnings and promises? Then, scraped of all the new materials. The resulting wasted resources causing even bigger environmental issues. eg. Wind turbine blades, Nuclear power and etc. My Suggestion..... Let us start, asking the NYT how many TREE's were cut down to print their garbage? How much Fossil Fuel was used in the total cycle. From the Tree Cutting, to paper making, Raw paper delivery to the printers, and delivery to the customers? Then what about the tons of paper wasted in the whole process, trashed and in landfills each weekly , |
