I honestly have to wonder at what point people will collectively say "why the hell are we letting them do this" ? Not sure what happens after that, but it seems like it must have to happen at some point, right? Right?
Because the average American and European feels their convenient lifestyle is more important than the life of the planet. They'll talk the talk about the environment, but they won't walk the wall with their votes or actions.
I was recently at a kind of convention on the topic of "how to build a sustainable society". There were two ~40 yr old ladies in the row in front of me.
One got out this super shiny copper flask. The lady next to her was like "oh that looks nice!" and they start talking about it. The lady that got it out said something about copper, its health impacts blabla and how she got it last week from Amazon.
And I'm just sitting there, holding it together, almost laughing out of frustration, about this whole situation.
Like, maybe she did actually need a bottle to hydrate herself outside, but...
The problem its not just some rich guys they are just the hitmen. Its PetroStates that are behind them. Its not about money at this point its about power and a house of cards those states put in place completely propped up by oil. As in if they stop oil their Nation collapses and they dragged from into the streets and eliminated.
Never underestimate the power of inertia. Some people live their entire lives on it.
Because the people in positions to do something about it get paid by the evil doers to make sure business is as usual
