Yeah, you can’t use austerity as evidence of economic problems when austerity is NP policy. Self-fulfilling prophesy.
And the only real reason for austerity is to make the rich richer and drive inequality even higher.

Our country is less than 200 years old
Presence of Europeans in your country is less than 200 years old.
Almost as if certain governments and malefactors of great wealth were coordinating in promoting it.
That’s not the only way it might go.
Except that he’s the one who packed the court, he’ll do it more if elected, and they’ll be his dutiful toadies.
It’d be interesting to know how much of that is a mercantilist attempt to capture market share in other countries (i.e., dumping) and how much is reflective of a sincere effort by the Chinese government to address the climate crisis.
I suspect it’s the former, since alongside China’s renewables investment, China’s emissions of greenhouse gases continue to grow, as does its consumption of coal.
This is likely to become an issue with climate modeling as well, as interested parties attempt to poison the discourse with fake analysis and phony effects models. Perhaps, with the banks, the Fed should require the use of open, peer-reviewed models and reject the use of any closed-source model.
So they’ve moved past denial to bargaining?
Millennials, if there’s anything an old guy can do to help…?
One of the low-hanging fruit in combating climate change is to shut down all the golf courses.
They’re all about immanentizing the eschaton.
It’s barely even a Batman movie, it’s just another Tim Burton movie. That guy has milked the same shtick for decades.
There is no one universally right way to do activism.
There are, however, many ways that are demonstrably wrong.
If you’re acting in a way that gives rise to credible speculation that you’re secretly funded by Big Oil, maybe it’s worth considering the possibility that you’re a counterproductive cosplaying fool.
We need a diversity of tactics.
Running unarmed at a machine-gun nest is a tactic. But a diversity of tactics is only a good thing when those tactics actually work.
They could also read The Monkey Wrench Gang and start taking direct action against the real perpetrators and their assets rather than random soft targets.
That, and many later buses, have left the station.
That’s the joy of nonlinearities. Every new threshold opens up a qualitatively new world of suckage.
Markets don’t wait for official announcements. They tend to react to facts, unlike politicians, since their money’s at risk.
Individual action’s nice. It won’t be nearly enough. We need to organize and to overcome massive resistance.
Yead, I agree. I’d rather take a half-step forward than two steps back. A full step would be nicer yet, but we can’t let the best be the enemy of the almost good enough.
So you don’t need as many buses to achieve the same coverage. Public transport infrastructure costs are not fixed for a certain land area, they are also proportional to potential ridership.
