    And so, one cannot help but suspect that this is all intentional; as unbelievable as it may sound, the price is a good life for a select few, while the rest simply doesn’t matter. A thousand excuses: if I don’t do it, someone else will; I can’t save the world; I was just following orders, carrying out an assignment, or closing a deal. There are too many people anyway—who cares? Yet who lives long enough to actually benefit from it? No one (though that isn’t how far ahead any of them are thinking).

      There’s a video of Epstein and Bannon talking about climate change as population control to some rich people, very casually. I’m sure it’s a widespread idea.

      Crazy to think. All of moral philosophy was developed before the threat of humanity ending climate change. Used to be evil emperors at least wanted 1000 year empires for their offspring. Nobody ever even had the power to go “but I’ll be long gone by then.”

        Make better policy. For the people, not the corporations. And if someone can’t manage that, then at least don’t be an a**hole—instead of working for the few. It’s that simple. (Politicians!)
