What will really blow all of our minds, is that once we get this tiny little matter of the fate of the USA under control (I'm mostly joking here bc I think there's a strong, >50% chance of that never happening), there is still the fact that climate change has radically altered our word forever.
And the internet too.
And globalization as well.
Oh and automation likewise.
Meanwhile, to deal with all of THAT, we have... "Congress".
No matter what, things will never be the same again, nor would those of us who think about it even want to. You can't un-pop a bubble, and why would we want to make a new one? (bc that worked out so well the last time)
Damnit, I'm not trying to be fatalistic here.
Yeah. All the problems in the US government are self-created. They're not small, but they're also purely solvable, we're just too incompetent at the government level to get it done.
Climate change is a real problem. The kind that can't be solved instantly if you can just get 60 people to all vote the right way, one day, when it gets too bad. And it doesn't go away if you move.
No no no no no, you are supposed to reassure me with nice-sounding "factual" statements!? Everything will be okay bc... Cap't America, or sumtin.
What I know is that if people have principles but not convictions, then they have neither.
And unfortunately, greed is a principle.:-(
