He knows damn well the report he approved is propaganda garbage. The one thing he's right about is the report by international experts won't make a damn bit of difference in American politics. Mainstream media won't make a big stink about it, and will soon move on to the next piece of fecal matter flung from this administration in their ceaseless shitstorm of lies and outrages.

is more worrisome. Suppose you are right. We are in Reality Government where scenes change every 15 minutes, or the attention span of modernity.

It obviously doesn't fly with reputable climate scientists, but they are powerless to stop Trump from reversing the progress made duting Biden's term.

to shrink my purview. I have started caning chairs again. Rote accomplishment versus flailing angst at the expected tsunami.
Harari wrote a masterpiece, "Sapiens" that showed how social connections moved from family to religion to money. We all need to connect and the world wide commonality is now money.
The irony is, money stands for nothing.

Family, tribe, community -- all involve personal human connections. We CARE, and share a sense of togetherness.

Religion may expand the number of people in a type of community, but it has long been a means of control and manipulation by those who seek wealth and power.

Money abandons community altogether, treating people like commodities.

Which is not to say that all is lost. Many millions actually CARE about people they've never met, and protecting the precious ecosystems of this Earth which sustain life itself. Everyone should care for the latter, if only on the bssis of enlightened self interest.

These last 7+ months feels like a dark tunnel with no light at the end, but things change. The long arc of the moral universe bends towards justice, but only if enough good people pull together.

We are stuck and fucked with an anti-science administration who is pro-business at the cost of public health.

He’s willing to actively harm American businesses that he dislikes.

These are the people who think the movie “Elysium” was real and they are the one who are going to be living on the space station.

The "Greatest Threat" shits at the White House.

They will now be miliking cows and picking lettuce whilst saying "yes boss".
