  • While technically correct,

    I’m old enough to remember when we were all gonna get cancer and die by being fried with UV rays because we were making huge holes in the ozone by dumping metric fucktons of CFCs into the atmosphere. I also remember there being a huge push that we stop doing the thing that was causing the problem, you know before we all die from cancer.

    Saving the ozone, and therefore climate wasn’t in the constitution then either, but we (at least as far as the US’s involvement) did it because it was the right goddamn thing to do.

    We shouldn’t have to have children essentially begging the government to make decisions to protect their future. Who keeps electing these assholes?


  • All this talk of state-sponsored/subsidized news/media gives me the wiggins, at least as someone who lives in the US. I’m sure people smarter than myself could come up with a bullet proof system to prevent abuse, but really, I would have little faith it would stand the test of time. I feel like any protections you put in place would be eroded eventually. All it takes is one “emergency” or “disaster”. Maybe I’m wrong. It just feels so 1984ish.
