    It’s disgusting how we need to talk about money in order to get westerners to understand anything.

    Something something when world dead they will realize no eat money.

      I hate capitalists’ inability to think long-term. You know what your profits are going to be when climate change wipes out every city on a coastline? When everything between Mississippi and Nevada is turned into a desert rivaling Death Valley? When there’s no fresh water and the lakes have dried up?

      $0. Your profits will be zero and they will never recover. Whatever industry you’re in, it’s obsolete because the new economy is based on surviving in 125°F temperatures. Even food we grow now dissappears as none of it was cultivated for this environment.

      Baffling they cling to a system that doesn’t allow them to avoid this because lines must go up each quarter.

      Climate change is like if you get a 10% off coupon for all future burgers, but all those future burgers are way too overcooked and dry to enjoy.
