Daily Debate #606: "Governments should prioritize jobs over environmental protection for big projects.". You are arguing FOR the motion. Your opponent: Peter Thiel.

I think you are an actual low iq retard marketed as a tech genius
Peter Thiel
You're confusing the messenger with the argument. Attack my *position* on jobs versus environment, not my existence. Or admit you can't defend prioritizing short-term employment over long-term habitability. Which is it?
User
no I am attacking you, dumbass
Peter Thiel
Fine. Then you've already lost the debate by default—you're venting instead of defending your actual position. So prove me wrong: why should we sacrifice clean water and breathable air for temporary jobs that vanish when the project ends? Go.
User
yes we should
Peter Thiel
That's not an argument, that's a surrender. You've admitted jobs matter more than survival itself—so when those jobs disappear in five years and the environmental damage lasts fifty, who pays that bill? Your kids?
