An Arizonan out to make Arizona better.

@leftymo @StevePhoto5 @AZDHS They’re not wrong. Tons of antivaxxers go to the doctor once they have covid and take all kinds of experimental drugs in order to live. They’re too brainwashed to realize the vaccine is by far the best preventative measure they can take.

[Pat Riot, Proud Arizonan @ArizonanPat]

@Peter_S73 @eileen98 @Gritty20202 Public transportation and cycling are still much better though. Not transition off of gasoline would be a death sentence though. I don’t know where you’re getting the idea that they can stick around.

[Pat Riot, Proud Arizonan @ArizonanPat]

@Peter_S73 @eileen98 @Gritty20202 All that you said is true but the losses are pretty dang insignificant. Especially when compared to the I.C.E. Energy transportation is quite efficient. Moreso when it’s from on sight distributed energy. Electric cars absolutely will be a part of the solution.

[Pat Riot, Proud Arizonan @ArizonanPat]

@suddenlygarmo @cusebeach @annacb421 @FGOABORG @Gritty20202 Yes it is? There are key carve outs in the infrastructure bill and in the reconciliation of that ever passes. Is it enough? No. But it’s much more than has historically been given out.

[Pat Riot, Proud Arizonan @ArizonanPat]

@makeitmythic @Gritty20202 Power plants are wayyy more efficient than the internal combustion engine. Even plants that use natural gas are more efficient than gasoline. And in most places renewables make up an increasing share of the electricity produced so that efficiency should only increase.

[Pat Riot, Proud Arizonan @ArizonanPat]

@HoboInc @annacb421 @Gritty20202 It’s literally already happening. People with solar panels on their roofs can have an EV too. That EV is solar powered.

[Pat Riot, Proud Arizonan @ArizonanPat]

@HoboInc @Gritty20202 Electricity is wayyy cheaper and cleaner than gasoline. Like, it’s not even close at this point. It’ll only widen as more renewable energy is put on the grid.

[Pat Riot, Proud Arizonan @ArizonanPat]

@Peter_S73 @eileen98 @Gritty20202 Biking and public transportation are still the best though.

[Pat Riot, Proud Arizonan @ArizonanPat]

@Peter_S73 @eileen98 @Gritty20202 Power plants offer wayyy more efficiency that gasoline burned in a internal combustion engine. Especially as coal plants get shut down. The efficiency disparity is just incredible at this point so this talking point has no merit anymore. It will only widen as renewables grow.

[Pat Riot, Proud Arizonan @ArizonanPat]

@cusebeach @annacb421 @FGOABORG @Gritty20202 They will be. More and more money is going into this type of infrastructure.

[Pat Riot, Proud Arizonan @ArizonanPat]

@rod20203 @Gritty20202 Oil shortages have always been a bigger threat to transportation than grids going down. Way more frequent and long lasting

@hankgreen What are your favorite desserts?

[Pat Riot, Proud Arizonan @ArizonanPat]

@trueplayoff @azxracer @Garrett_Archer I didn’t say you were lying. But that sub has a ton of documented cases of people and families using the same talking points as you and the dying after suffering with covid for a few weeks. Almost all of them leave behind gofundme because their family is now left destitute.

[Pat Riot, Proud Arizonan @ArizonanPat]

@azguyjwj @prettyg2626 @ClassyGentlema7 @Garrett_Archer You’re falling for the talking points of grifters. Everyone that works at Fox is vaccinated. They know it’s effective, that’s why they took it. Even Trump and his family got vaccinated as soon as they could.

[Pat Riot, Proud Arizonan @ArizonanPat]

@GilJ316 @RamiMayron @Garrett_Archer What we do know is that vaccinated people transmit the disease less than unvaccinated people and that unvaccinated people are wayyyy more likely to be hospitalized and die from Covid in comparison to vaccinated people, should they get it.

[Pat Riot, Proud Arizonan @ArizonanPat]

@GilJ316 @RamiMayron @Garrett_Archer This is what’s called a Base Rate fallacy. Someone commented a nice visual that explained it well. When one base population is much larger than another they’re going to have more absolute people affected but not per capita. It’s a common fallacy and even experts fall for it.

[Pat Riot, Proud Arizonan @ArizonanPat]

@lotzof_gas @az_michelle_w @AZDHS We were never told that. Almost no vaccine in recorded history is that effective.

[Pat Riot, Proud Arizonan @ArizonanPat]

@sportsnow41 @AZRaider25 @abc15 @AZDHS It really is. This is mostly a pandemic of the unvaccinated at this point. Especially in regard to deaths.

[Pat Riot, Proud Arizonan @ArizonanPat]

@AbrahamCancino8 @Garrett_Archer Don’t blame the messenger. Blame the ignorant antivaxxers. They’re prolonging the pandemic. It’s almost like they’re pro-covid at this point.
