I'm glad I don't live in a place that experiences many natural disasters.
I feel sympathy for the people who are going to be fucked by this despite voting against privatization of weather information.
And I'll have popcorn ready for those who voted for this or abstained, when it inevitably fucks them over.
You don't live in a place that experiences many natural disasters, for now.
That's true. But even once shit really hits the fan, the area I'm in is gonna get the minority of the climate fuckery.
You hope it will, things will get increasingly unpredictable: There is no safe harbor.
Yes. But I live in a very landlocked area, at a high elevation and latitude. I know it's gonna get bad even here. But comparatively it's gonna be paradise.
The democrats were and have never been anti-privitization in the long term. In late stage capitalism you must privitize because you must seek new avenues for profit. So don't laugh at the less fortunate victims of the system that will eat you too. Even the ones you think were asking for it dickhead
This both sides bullshit is what got us here. Yes, the democrats are shit. But we wouldn't have gotten here without republican lead efforts to privatize everything.
I explicitly explained that I wouldn't.
Some are very clearly are asking for it. I will shed no tears for them.
I say both sides because it is explicitly true. You can't keep working within the system when the system was never meant to benefit you
It very clearly isn't true, even for milquetoast democrats:
You can't work at all if you let the system ignore you.
Nice graphs, I have some too
The parties get different funding but neither of them are going to save you from the interests of capital
Their confidence intervals overlap...
In the short term yes, in the long term no.
