Yes, of course, there's nothing like being between a rock and one of three hard places, one of which is sweltering. But during a "still a functioning society,..."? Only a Pollyanna would imagine such a situation during late stage capitalism.
Thank you for saying what everyone is thinking but very few dare to say. Defund endless war and fund social services in the U.S. for EVERYONE in the U.S.
p.s. stop the sanctions on Venezuela so our new neighbors can have their country back
People forget that even as establishment a politidcian as Rep. Barney Frank of Massachusetts back in the 1990s called for a 25% across-the-board cut in the military budget. He was ignored. But he was absolutely right that it could have been done, and could be done today without impacting US security at all. In fact I'd argue a 90% ciut would be better still.
As an octogenarian baby boomer I'm saying to myself: Self, with but a handful of years of life left, you need not worry, by the time congress is forced to act, you'll be home free. Neener neener neener! Ah, but what about the rest? Not to worry, capitalism will roll on as it always has with for profit solutions that will be a boon for Dollar General stores and the pet food industry. The muggles will be placated with genuine paté and circuses.
But what about revolution? Revolution...too late, it and other rebellious words were brainwashed from the dictionary. Meanwhile, Mars Control to Earth...come in, Earth.
Well Tori, It is of course also likely that the catastrophe of a 20degree Celsius (3.6 degree Fahrenheit) hotter Earth will arrive, or perhaps a nuclear war blundered into by our military-obsessed permanent government duopoly, will have rendered moot the problem of a destroyed Social Security program but in the perhaps less likely event that life on Earth is still viable for humans and the US is still a functioning society, we need to keep the pressure on to rescue this last vestige of the New Deal from Wall Street and the puppets and grifters in Washington, DC.
