Well I, myself, am not currently personally on fire at this particular moment, which proves conclusively that climate change is a hoax and that our glorious, benevolent job creators deserve another tax cut and, fuck it, give em a bailout too just for the hell of it!

Just don't anyone dare give one of our innumerable homeless "people" in our innumerable tent cities a sandwich. That would just enable them to keep being poor. In fact, lets give people of net worth higher than a hundred million an annual, national civic award for occasionally having to see the homeless out of their car and limo windows, as a thank you for allowing the nation to bathe in the owner's divine affluent light, that just feels on theme for us.

I was stuck in a waiting room for two hours today and the tv had the weather channel on. They covered the fires thoroughly, as well as record high temperatures all across the country, and the fact that before now such and such area only had five 100+ degree days and this year it had 11! Etc.

The part I really noticed though is the number of times they actually said the phrase: climate change. ZERO

Sigh

The fact that they keep having to say that climate change isn't real kind of makes me think climate change is real

[–] solstice@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

It didn't come across as denial to me. It was pretty on the nose, they just wouldn't come out and just say it. The knuckle dragging mouth breathers need it spelled out word for word.

Honest question, what was the role of climate change in the Hawaii fires? Are they having a particularly dry summer?

[–] Neato@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago

A very rough interpretation: Climate change puts more CO2 into the air. This traps heat into the air. This also allows more water into the air. Water is a great heat sink so it allows more thermal energy into the atmosphere.

All of this drives more extreme weather. Hotter summers, more extreme weather fluctuations, which leads to colder winters (hotter on average but can get more extreme), higher winds due to temperature disparity, and generally more precipitation. All of this drives more visible fluctuations like more and bigger tropical storms (hurricanes, typhoons), changes weather patterns leading to droughts, etc.

You can see trends for things like storms, wildfires, droughts, etc all going up.

The way I see it is the ruling class helped to shape most of our systems in society ; they're the ones that turned capitalism into "cut throat capitalism / ultra capitalism"

We all need to go on a protest / strike for a week or two and demand seperation of BIG BUSINESS/Corporations and government. We need to demand affordable education, medication, health care and housing. We need to protest/ go on a strike before the AI face recognition won't allow us to. IK this will likely never ever happen, but I don't see any other way the people in US can make their demands heard. We need to stick together n share food n water for just a week or so with our neighbors, homeless ETC; with our fellow Americans*

That's not just something they turned it into, that's the inevitable result of a system where profit defines success. Because, no matter how good your product is, or how great the service is, if you don't make as much money it's not good enough.

As long as profit is the defining characteristic of our economy, this will never change.

Ye .. You're right.

A week or two wouldn’t do anything in the long term. They’d just spend the time breaking strikers’ kneecaps, because they made general strikes illegal so they’d have justification for violently breaking up any attempts.

[–] DONTBANTHISACCOUNT@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

I am saying if people who build this country and make the gears turn in the system ( truckers, farmers, ETC ) ... If they didn't go to work for a week or two; I do believe our voices could be heard. It'd halt the economy and the government would have to listen 👂 to the people who make "the world 🌎 go round" so to say ...

What law bans general strikes?
