We don’t even insure that our own citizens get clean water and proper medical care, why would we expect these detention centers to be any different? This country is in crisis

And “we’re fucked” is putting it lightly. On that note, check out American Resiliency on YouTube if you want some helpful information on how to get ready!

You shouldn’t have to wear safety rated glasses to protest, but I wouldn’t go to one without them at this point. If you normally wear glasses and they’re not rated an impact can shatter them and cause even more damage than not wearing them at all would have.

Can’t even get it up in this economy smh

Shell and Nestle have committed numerous atrocities against mankind. When your platform suddenly becomes untenable for them to run ads on, the problem is definitely your platform.

You’re right. If the government did not already have a history of essentially human trafficking innocent people, I would be much less inclined to care about this

Once again, Gen X left out of the conversation when they still make up a large percentage of the workforce lol.

Being a millennial in the workplace right now is giving me whiplash. Boomers are essentially the old guard and their ways of running business are going the way of the dodo, though I was brought up in that climate and sort of got used to it. While work environments had a tendency to be toxic, I did find some merits in their approach.

Gen Z is almost like the polar opposite reaction to boomer workplace culture. While I think going away from that is a good thing, I also think there have been overcorrections. The culture clash is noticeable and the fact that the old guard seems to be ignoring it only adds to the challenge.

What “illegal immigrants” in their right mind would be out partying at an after hours night club with everything going on? I wouldn’t be surprised if there were a few, but 100? This reeks of steamed hams. 100 migrants localized entirely in this illegal nightclub, in this political climate? I would like to see the evidence

Is that good?

They just don’t want to acknowledge it’s happening already because that would drive markets further down. It’s happening.

I don’t particularly want to watch the world burn, but if it’s out of my hands you might as well pass me some popcorn 😂

This guy literally sourced all of his claims from a fake economist who was actually an anagram of his own name. I wish I was joking

Now this is epic

Chat, are we cooked? (Yes)

Mentally, this is where I am at: https://youtu.be/rN6fcu1qCcw

The California cases were interesting, because at first I was almost inclined to agree with the prosecution, it seemed like blatant negligence. That being said, these people were clearly unwell, punishing them for the horrors brought forth by their poor decisions seems gratuitous. I think it would easily be a slippery slope without the sweeping ban that has been put in place on that.

Punishments also do not prevent or deter these things from happening in the first place, IMO. Investing in things like education and making healthcare and treatment accessible do.

I mean, even from a fiscally conservative standpoint, on paper it is substantially cheaper to rehabilitate people than it is to house them in a jail or prison. Tax payer funded slave labor sounds pretty good in comparison when you’re not paying taxes I guess.

That ship may have already sailed before this administration took over, but my hope was that society could restructure itself in a way that would still sustain human life. At this point we may even be on an extinction track if nothing changes. The world is chaotic enough at 1.5C. I shutter to imagine a world at 4C.

The article was not paywalled, also I think the term we like to use for this phenomenon is “brain drain.”

The climate research community has been gutted by what’s happening with the US government. NOAA and NWS collected some of the most important and valuable data in the world for this and now that’s pretty much over. It will take decades to undo what has been done in only a few months and I’m being hopeful.

Money aside, as a society we should probably be putting more investment into keeping older, but fuel efficient cars on the road. The carbon footprint from manufacturing the car is already there and the with the fuel mileage/emissions/ longevity on something like a used Camry, a Tesla probably wouldn’t even last long enough to pass the break even point.

Buying a new EV makes sense for someone who’s driving a gas guzzling clunker, but most people driving those vehicles probably couldn’t afford an EV anyway.

This will probably fuck up the used car market so it’s stupid regardless, but we don’t have to keep buying new shit especially if it doesn’t make sense from an environmental standpoint as well as a financial one.

Driving into protesters is essentially legal in Florida per the Riot Bill if I recall. They made caveats to it like they have to be obstructing the road, as if that makes it much better. https://flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2021/1/?Tab=BillHistory
