It is worse — It’s worse than you think or maybe worse than we can think. It seems to be a fundamental flaw in the human race, this ability to selectively heed warnings dependent on the expediency of the moment, how we are willfully blind to the approaching calamity that is about to engulf…

I propose new avatars for Politicians and their CEO owners. — The already inadequate infrastructure+reconciliation bill is being met with a treatment of predatory delay, instigated by that murder of Crows, fossil fuel CEOs, aided and abetted by that mischief of Rats, opportunistic politicians, the prominent specimens of which are Senators Sinema and Manchin.

Neither will COP 27, 28, or 50. — Despite proclamations to the contrary by the U.S. climate envoy John Kerry, to those of us who have been paying increasing attention to the state and the politics of climate change, COP-26 is already set to be an abject failure.

If us bloggers trip him up, all the better — Fascism: A govermental system led by a dictator having a complete power forcibly supressing opposition and criticism regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism. I am done with mealy-mouthed platitudes, comparisons to Berlin 1939, quotes about evil succeeding through the silence of the good…
