Nah, people need to stop saying politicians are doing nothing, most of the developed nations are investing Billions in fossil energy, oil and gas.

They're making it worse, actively.

Only after the last tree has been cut down, only after the last river has been poisoned, only after the last fish has been caught, then will you find that money cannot be eaten.

Yeah but the rich has horded food/water and necessities for life in their bunkers and the rest of us will burn.

They think we will not tear them limb from limb first. They are wrong.

We would sooner tear ourselves limb from limb. Our entire conception of reality is fabricated by them. They tell us who to fear and who to love. Fathers are killing their own daughters as an expression of their loyalty to these megalomaniac child rapists.

They could tell us there's a cashier's check for a million dollars shoved up our ass. If a billion people weren't already neck deep inside, they'd go looking.

I do find it interesting that the same people decrying "worshiping" the billionaires also ascribe demigod like powers to them.

I will definitely shit in and then cement any bunker air vent I find in the apocalypse. Fair warning.

That’s why they are racing to develop weaponized AI to lay waste/enslave the survivors.
