No government can ever feasibly choose to ignore climate change or pandemics. You can't stop physics or biology by pretending that they don't exist. The only real choice governments make is how badly they and their people will suffer.
@luckytran but the rich will be able to safeguard themselves and their families from the worse suffering and probably profit from the increased desperation of everyone else

@luckytran

It's all in how they define, "their people" vs "those people" who also happen to live there.

@luckytran Pretending the bad doesnt exist is one way to get killed, or die horribly, or suffer or all of the above.
@luckytran reminds of the Indiana Pi Bill
@luckytran I’ve known many conservatives, and they may not think you can deny reality, but they definitely think you can DELAY it
