    The young people also need their healthcare funded right now, along with their education, job stimulus, etc. kinda a privileged attitude, if they just assume mommy and daddy can pay their bills when the economy implodes. it’s a difficult and complex balance, so one can only carefully navigate somewhere down the middle.

      Every time the same argument. “Let’s keep our unsustainable society without any drastic change until the collapse becomes inevitable and it’s too late to prepare for it” is such a pragmatic approach.

      • Who gives a fuck about the economy imploding at the expense of the extinction of our species?
      • The ‘economy’ is made up nonsense to enrich the most morally bankrupt involved while shitting on everyone else.
      • The death of our planet’s ecosystem is a real possible future we are facing; let the economy burn.

      Take the money out of the >20 billion in subsidies for oil an gas, take it by taxing the ultra-rich who are fucking this country over. If the only “reasonable” reaction to pressure by the US is to double down on oil and fuck over the next guy then we already are a US state.

        Not directly related, but can we also seize Kevin O’Leary’s assets and fire him out of a cannon into the sun?
