7 days agoIt’s a reference to a genre of tweet that was floating around back when the blockade started. After the US announced that it was deploying a carrier group to the area, some very confident idiots posted “[Ansarallah] is about to find out why Americans don’t have free healthcare.” And they sure did, but probably not in the manner the posters intended.
Preaching to the choir here, but the US has never led on this. Paris was a joke before the ink on the signatures even dried. The bedrock of our economy is fossil fuels and unless someone’s willing to do some percussive maintenance on our ruli- I mean, our economy, we’re stuck.
It kinda amazes me how thoroughly the dems were able to get away with selling the IRA as a climate investment, and, now that Bad Cop is back in charge, they get to pin the failures of the US to genuinely decarbonize on him.
