Climate Change? Nahhh ...

Can't wait for Live Action Charlie Brown where he rips the ball out of Lucy's hands and runs for a touchdown or conversion.

The perfect Charlie Brown actor in live action was an Oxycontin slinger on Better Call Saul.

 

The military is already all up in it. Google up what the Navy is faced with in Norfolk. They have a billion dollars plus worth of infrastructure where a big chunk of it is under water when there is a high tide at full moon. They're spending money like hell trying to get ahead of it. Of course, the Pentagon is well known for their squishy liberal mindset, so that's probably just MSM bullshit.

 

Well, I don't have any grandchildren and I'm gonna be dead in twenty years, so fuck it, right?

The American people used to have a decent civil society and were once problem solvers.

 

When was this?

 

That’s the beauty of Alma’s argument. You can’t possibly refute it. It’s whatever he deems significant to mean.

 

So what?

 

We will go to the moon in this decade and do the other things not because they are easy, but because they are hard.

And I say to you that we have nothing to fear but fear itself.

Rebuilding Europe. Truman plan. Wright bothers. The electric grid. Assembly line. Polio vaccine.

I don’t know. Seemed like we used to do plenty. But I could be swooning for the cools.

 

Alma, if hundreds of people get rich by figuring out how to reverse climate change, isn't that the capitalistic market in action? Find an angle, exploit a market, profit! They would certainly be filling a need, unless you are prepared to tell us the climate changes we see weekly are not real.

In Alabama, Alabama Power has such a stranglehold on the Public Utility Commission that you can't install solar panels and get enough money back from the power your panels contribute to the grid to ever break even on them.

 

Yeah, but while this was happening, large parts of America were terrorizing Black people while also being casually racist and sexist and homophobic. Much as I understand NC’s point, we’ve never really been able to call ourselves the shining beacon on a hill. Being less awful than most other places isn’t exactly worthy of praise.

 

Then put it this way - Things are simply appalling now. I'm not excusing the excesses of the Bad Old Days. I'm just saying that much of public discourse and behavior today is reprehensible.

 

True. I was responding to the solving problems bit. Civil society is harder to defend

 

I suppose I meant more the “decent civil society” part. I’m surprised to see progressives suggest it ever was.
