    She looked at me and just said “I have two kids. I need to believe that things will get better.”

    I totally get it but at the same time this is a great example of why we’re fucked. Anyone with the power to change anything flatly refuses to. Anyone decent enough to want to change anything refuses to acknowledge the necessity, because it’s depressing. But refusing to admit it’s happening doesn’t make it not happen. And so humanity as a whole has their head wedged firmly up their ass and we march straight into hell.
