    What a wonderful earth this is going to be in a few decades.

    60% uninhabitable and the 40% remaining is only barely inhabitable with huge heat waves, floods, storms, every quarter of the year while out of the 40% remaining barely inhabitable will be nice to live for the top 5% of the wealthy people with A/C, housing that isn’t touched by disasters.

    Glad I am 32 years old. Well, I wish I was 42 years old so I wouldn’t have to experience it in real life. But I am very grateful for not being born in the last 10 years. I look at people getting kids nowadays and wonder: “Why?” Either people are blind or just don’t care.

    Had this discussion with someone a year ago “Well they had kids in WW2 too.” Yeah… but a war might end some day. Nature won’t quit destroying anything that is in it’s path. It might hit strong, the next time a bit weaker but a month later strike back huge. And it won’t stop. Getting worse every year from now.

    I mean just look at Argentinia now. Just googled Argentinia but the news is overwhelmed by the storm in Australia currently (Storm Alfred)

    Get use to these pictures. Better now than later, cause in ten years the pictures will be way worse.

    It’s always been an oligarchy (aside from a short period after ww2 which generated an incredible climb in prosperity for the entire country, then the boomers pulled the ladder up after themselves and set fire to it). It’s just completely mask-off now. If USAmericans want to have a non-serf short term and survive long term, they have to start hunting billionaires.

    a “side effect of building the modern world.”

    Holy fucking hell, these people are stupid, evil, or a nasty combination of the two.

      Death by cirrhosis was also a side effect of my grandfather’s bottle a day drinking.
