It’s always been an oligarchy (aside from a short period after ww2 which generated an incredible climb in prosperity for the entire country, then the boomers pulled the ladder up after themselves and set fire to it). It’s just completely mask-off now. If USAmericans want to have a non-serf short term and survive long term, they have to start hunting billionaires.
Small screws/nails/ikea bits, seeds, extra pin-backs or pushpins when the shit container they come in inevitably breaks, weed, q-tips, sewing kits, some vets/humane societies, art AKA makin Injection Molded Robots
It’s going to take a variety of methods to make positive change, these are some pretty good ones
even the stars are ill at ease
I have gotten some nice blends from Adagio
Except that when companies can’t make money they adapt by buying politicians to mandate use of their dirty product and outlawing alternatives. Voting with your wallet only goes so far, whereas taking out one CEO has managed to affect the behavior of an entire class. Imagine if they were hunted at the rate of american schoolkids.

bbc bringing the hard hitting investigative climate updates again
There’s also a very uncool colonial system involved where many small growers are not allowed to sell or export thier coffee crop without jumping through exploitative regulatory hoops that increase the cost at every step. Not to discount the climate impact on the crops. The added cost comes down to greed in both cases - the ones taking advantage of farmers developing countries and marking up the product more and more and the greed of people profitmaxxing regardless of causing and making the climate crisis worse.
from what i understand it’s moving to an even hotter place either next or in the next few years
I would think the Muslim world would be getting more interested in climate discussions with temps during Hajj being lethal (1200 deaths this year alone)
we did elect gore, he didn’t have the heart to fight for it
it would be okay if some other country took up the task… yes the US SHOULD be leading climate science but since that is out of the question for the foreseeable future (a small window indeed in this collapsing empire) maybe China or the EU would be interested in a livable future as well, 's’all i’m saying. they probably have their own versions already in fact. The States are cooked, and the world is going to have to pick up the slack.
