I would hardly call that a ‘freak out’, it’s a rational fear. 

Stranded assets: not important, absolutely meaningless, and they can be scrapped and repurposed.

Okay. People are going to lose jobs, yes. But that’s completely inescapable.

What Biden supporters under 50 look like:

Well, yeah. Saving the Amazon isn’t profitable. Letting it burn is profitable. 

But of course; corporate welfare is just the invisible hand of the Free Market, so somesuch bullshit.

That is not accurate. Humans are successful because we are long-term thinkers that work in sequential events, object/event permanence, and pattern recognition.

BINGO

It seems obvious, but folks seem to start having one of those classic robot-can’t-process-smoke-bursts whenever you discuss the idea of getting rid of how we live to dramatically shift over to either: not worrying about the money to save our planet, or not using petroleum to fuel cars.

Damn, I was really hoping Obama’s Seniorita track was from Vince Staples.

When we finally switch over to use renewable energy, electric vehicles, hydrogen fuel cells, etc etc, that ‘wealth’ will be meaningless.

Absolutely the case. Get the corps of engineers cracking and use troops for manual labor. It falls within their purview and would be a great use of an outrageously bloated entity that could shed a few pounds for a cause that isn’t simply “bomb the fuck outta whoever has the most oil”

I wonder what the tipping point will be for corporate interests when it comes to climate?

Donald Trump is the only man who could possibly make Boris Johnson look reasonable in a photo.

Because a handful of exceedingly powerful people are paying the DNC, lobbyist groups, and advertising execs fistfuls of money to make sure that a neo-liberal, soft-on-the-wealthy, dedicated-status-quo wins the election.

As I said, conventionally attractive.

Sure, he’s also a racist, out-of-touch, deeply problematic, potentially molest-y oligarch like Trump - but he’s the best we’ve got! Ignore the literal dozen others that are involved.

This is a good take. (I couldn’t resist the jacket in this one)

Yeah, I could see that being the case if there weren’t also several other very qualified candidates running that are a better choice than Biden, and if we were even in the primaries.

My point exactly, my friend.
