@rbreich And what do you suggest we do, Professor? Vote for Joe? Ignore climate change? Ignore the gasping planet? The issues are a bit bigger, are they not?

@gdeihl If Dem voters refuse to vote, that leaves Repug voters...who WILL vote. Trumpistan is the result. @rbreich

@Tooden @rbreich I certainly understand that. Pretty sad situation as climate change takes everything down. I like Robert, have for a long time, but his vision is limited.

@gdeihl Covid has done as much damage to critical thinking - what there was of it - as it has to world economies. The result seems to be that governments are bowing to the Fossil Fuel giants, in a bid to recoup the money lost, for a brief few months, in the 2020-21 fiscal year. It is lunacy...in the face of escalating Global Climate Catastrophe. It will not be improved in the hands of greedy, culture-smashing Conservatives. There appears to be no viable alternative😞

@Tooden Yes, it's lunacy. It's also beginning to appear to me that the "renewables" build out is destined for failure. Fossil fuels are quickly approaching the point of consuming too much energy and costing too much to get out of the ground. Without diesel, we build nothing.
