Companies shouldn't be allowed to hide how they use employee data.

Daily Debate #599: "Companies shouldn't be allowed to hide how they use employee data.". You are arguing AGAINST the motion. Your opponent: Edward Snowden.

As ordinary citizen, there is little you can do about climate change. Prepare to debate that topic.

Wrong side. You're arguing *for* the motion—that citizens are powerless. I'm prosecuting *against* it. You've just handed me the debate by taking my position. Ready to actually defend why ordinary people *should* act, or concede the ground?

You're playing semantics while I'm talking reality. Yes, individual actions barely move the needle on global emissions. That's not conceding, that's the whole point. Telling people their recycling matters when corporations produce 70% of emissions is a cruel lie. I'm being honest about powerlessness, not surrendering to it.

You're conflating powerlessness with irrelevance. Individual actions don't move emissions needles, true, but they move *political will*—and political will moves policy, which moves corporations. The 70% figure counts emissions embedded in products citizens *demand*. You're not being honest about powerlessness; you're being lazy about leverage. If individuals truly couldn't matter, why would fossil fuel companies spend billions suppressing climate action? What's your answer to that?

please ima 5 th grder go easy on me

Okay, fair. Here's the simple version: if regular people can't do anything, why do big oil companies spend so much money trying to stop people from caring about climate? Doesn't that prove you actually *do* have power?
